A Thankful Day
Today I’ll have a thankful day
And lift my heart in praise
For all the Lord has done for me
In big and little ways.
For sunny skies and healing rain,
For labor and for rest,
For friends and loved ones near and far –
How richly I’ve been blessed!
Though I may shed a tear or two,
My day will still be bright,
Because a thankful attitude
Makes any day alright.

He’ll Safely Guide Me
The future’s bright before me –
It’s in my Father’s hand,
And He will safely guide me
To heaven’s happy land.
Through storms and in valleys,
Where gentle waters flow,
My Shepherd leads me homeward
Through paths where I should go.
Through days of busy service
And nights where I must rest,
My Master always keeps me
And does whatever’s best.

A Taste of Heaven
Oh, when I’ve had a single taste
Of joy deep in my soul,
Of peace this world can never give
And hope that makes me whole,
When for a moment I have seen
The beauty of the Lord,
Or tasted that the Lord is good
And glimpsed His great reward,
When I have known the Spirit’s strength,
The Father’s comfort sweet,
The calm assurance Christ can give
When faith and patience meet,

Finding Joy
Finding Joy If, when you've lost your joy, you say, "But here's the reason why." You'll always have a new excuse That you can then apply. Today it's what a loved one did, Tomorrow it's a fear, The next day something else will break – More troubles will appear. Then if...
If God Had Led the Easy Way
If God had led the easy way
Which I had thought was best,
I wouldn’t be right here today
And wouldn’t be so blest.
If God had led the easy way
I would have never found
The depths of trust that leans on Him
And nothing else around.
If God had led the easy way
I would have gone astray –
My plans and dreams would not have brought
The joy I have today.

Refreshment for the Soul
Where can I go to be renewed,
Refreshed within my soul?
Where can I go for healing strength
That makes my spirit whole?
Where can I find true hope and joy
And purpose for each day?
Where can I find real peace and rest
Along life’s homeward way?
I go to Christ, my God and Friend,
And find His strength and grace.
For He’s the One I’m living for –
My hope and hiding place.

Let’s Begin the Praise
Let’s Begin the Praise God doesn’t always answer The questions that we ask Or give an explanation When He assigns a task, But this is not a reason To doubt His loving hand Or think He’s not controlling What we don’t understand. His thoughts are far above us – We...
