God’s Love for Me
God’s love for me is boundless –
It’s deeper than the sea
And won’t run out no matter
How much He does for me.
God’s love for me is endless –
It never fades away.
He’ll always truly love me
Forever and a day.
God’s love for me is changeless –
No matter what I do
He sets His love upon me
Each day again like new.
…
I’ll Use What God Has Given
I’ll use the voice God gave me
To praise His holy Name,
I’ll use the tongue He gave me
To spread His worthy fame.
I’ll use the hands God gave me
To serve the Lord today,
I’ll use the feet He gave me
To walk in heaven’s way.
I’ll use the mind God gave me
To think on things above,
I’ll use the heart He gave me
To learn and share His love.
…
The One I Will Praise
God orders my steps with compassion,
His mercies are new every day;
He knows what will come and prepares me,
He teaches my heart what to pray.
His goodness is strong and unfailing,
His faithfulness flows from above,
His grace is more sure than the mountains,
He anchors my hope in His love.
There’s no one so kind and so patient,
His holiness shines like the sun;
He showers my path with His blessings
And meets all my needs one by one.

Hiding in God
Hiding in God
You cannot hide from God,
He sees by day and night;
To Him the hidden things are plain,
The darkest things are light.
But you can hide in God,
Our refuge and retreat,
Within the shelter of His hand
Where safety is compete.
From judgement and from harm,
In every storm that blows,
Beneath the shadow of His wings
What peace the spirit knows!
The Lord will keep your soul
And guard you in His grace;
The Rock of ages stands secure
Our only hiding place.

Psalm 50:15
Psalm 50:15
God loves it when His children come
And ask for help each day;
He never wearies of our need
Or tells us, “Go away.”
He loves to do the things we ask
And so much more besides;
He loves to hear each joy and fear
Our heart in Him confides.
He loves to bring deliverance
In answer to our prayer
So all the world can see Him work
And know, “The Lord was there!”
He loves our faith-filled confidence
That knows what He can do;
It trusts He truly wants to help
And shows His Word is true.
He loves to hear our joyful thanks
When He has brought us out,
The grateful praise and swelling love
That topple fear and doubt.
He loves it when we tell His works
To those we love and know
So they can praise and trust Him, too,
And faith can sprout or grow.
God loves it when we turn to Him
For help in time of need;
Let’s worship Him and seek the grace
He’s kindly guaranteed.

“And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.” Psalm 50:15
Ephesians 2:10
Ephesians 2:10
You planned before the world began
What I should do today –
Good works to please and honor You
In all I do and say.
However small a task may seem,
When I recall its source
I know it’s worth my doing well
For You have set my course.
However large a task may seem,
I know You’ve planned supplies:
Sufficient grace and strength is mine
To claim the promised prize.
Today I’ll seek and do Your will
And live as You have planned,
Secure in knowing You are near
And I am in Your hand.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
A Different Motto
A Different Motto
This life is just a shadow
Of what my life will be
In resurrected glory
Beyond the crystal sea
Where many have a motto
That fails them by and by
(Eat, drink, and let’s be merry
For soon we all will die)
I have an expectation
That soon I’ll truly live
And so I’m always seeking
The prize my Lord will give
Let’s love and serve and worship
For at tomorrow’s dawn
We’ll wake to life eternal
That stretches on and on

Row by Row
Row by Row
The Weaver’s shuttle passes through
The warp of life each day
With crafted threads of varied hue –
Of crimson, gold, or gray.
At first they’re loose and somewhat raw,
We process – laugh or grieve –
The swirl of things we felt and saw
And wonder at the weave.
Until the batten sets the weft
And joins it to the whole –
As time moves on, the past is left
To guide but not control.
Thus seasons run – at first they seem
So jumbled and unclear,
Then, as they join time’s steady stream
Their beauties all appear.
So when today seems oh, so swift,
Or pain feels oh, so slow,
The Weaver knows the pattern’s drift
And builds it row by row.

Faith, Hope, Love
Faith, Hope, Love
Faith thinks on what the Lord has done:
It goes to Calvary,
It sees God’s love through Christ His Son
And all through history.
Hope thinks of what the Lord will do:
It sees eternity,
It holds each promise made as true
And lives for what will be.
While love responds to both each day:
It worships fervently,
It serves with joy and keeps God’s way
In bold humility.
Our faith will one day turn to sight,
Hope to reality,
But love will last in heaven’s light
For all eternity.
Christina Joy Hommes
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” 1 Corinthians 13:12-13
God Made That Promise to Me
God Made That Promise to Me
My life is secure in the palm of His hand
For God made that promise to me
There’s good and reward in the path He has planned
For God made that promise to me
Salvation is mine by the grace of my King
For God made that promise to me
And nothing can change it or alter a thing
For God made that promise to me
He’s with me each moment and will not depart
For God made that promise to me
His Spirit is dwelling within my new heart
For God made that promise to me
He’s made me a home in His palace above
For God made that promise to me
I’m kept by the strength of His infinite love
For God made that promise to me
And someday He’s coming to catch me away
For God made that promise to me
Where pain is forgotten and sin has no sway
For God made that promise to me
He’ll richly reward me for all that I’ve done
For God made that promise to me
Repaying each sorrow and tear one by one
For God made that promise to me
I’m anchored by hope in a God who can’t lie
For God made that promise to me
I’m sheltered securely, my needs He’ll supply
For God made that promise to me
I don’t need to worry or fear what’s ahead
For God made that promise to me
I know that I’m safe – I can trust what He’s said
For God made each promise to me

Help Me Live for You
Help Me Live for You
Lord, help me crucify the flesh
And let it have no space
To turn my soul away from you
Or block the path of grace.
Remove the pleasures sin affords
That lure from all that’s right,
And change the things that I desire
To seek Your pure delight.
Awake in me a holy thirst
For righteousness and good,
Please help me love the things You love
And do as Jesus would.
Where I’ve left room for fleshly lusts
And worldly things that fade,
Reveal my sin and help me turn
From where my soul has strayed.
Convict and cleanse, renew and bless,
Lord, help me live for You –
Sold out for Christ with no reserves
In love that’s pure and true.
Christina Joy Hommes
And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Galatians 5:24
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Hebrews 11:25
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:14
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:22-24
Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. Ephesians 6:24
Thank You for Your Love
Thank You for Your Love
My God, I come in humble awe
And thank You for Your love
So vast, so deep, so wonderful
It lifts my heart above.
That God Himself would come to earth
Rejected, tested, poor,
Then take my sin with all its shame
To open heaven’s door.
That Jesus Christ would bear my guilt
And wear it on the tree –
Unjustly lifted up to die
To show His love for me.
That on the cross as darkness fell
And heaven turned away,
He gave Himself to pay my debt
To wash my sins away.
That three days on He broke the chains
That bound me to the grave –
He rose again to live and reign,
To pardon, rescue, save.
That when I was an enemy
He set His love on me
And sent His Spirit in my heart
To make these blind eyes see.
That when I came with nothing good
To offer at His throne,
He welcomed me with matchless grace
To take me as His own.
That though I sin and often fall
He loves me just the same
And lets me have a special part
To magnify His Name.
That when I’m weak and feeling low,
He proves His love indeed
With comfort, strength, and tender care
To meet my every need.
That in a world so marred by sin
He sends such pure delight
With blessings, gifts, provisions, too,
To bring me joy and light.
That someday soon He’ll take me home
To realms of endless love
Where He’s prepared a perfect place
To dwell with me above.
That endless years will never dull
The perfect joy we’ll share,
The oneness of eternal love
To which He’s made me heir.
Oh, what a love I see displayed
In all Your gracious ways!
Lord, help me love You more, I pray,
And lift eternal praise.
Christina Joy Hommes
Teach Me to Be Teachable
Teach Me to Be Teachable
Lord, teach me to be teachable,
To love to learn and grow,
To willingly admit my need
And hear what others know.
Lord, show me how to listen well
(More often than I speak),
To care what others think and feel
Without pride’s sharp critique.
Lord, give me wisdom from above
That wants to be set right,
Accepts correction as a gift,
And seeks revealing light.
Christina Joy Hommes
But the wisdom that is from above is…easy to be intreated. James 3:17
Rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. Proverbs 9:8b-9
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: James 1:19
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John 3:19-21
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Ephesians 5:13
