Leave It There

If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird;
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Leave it there, yes, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out.
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Jesus Took My Burden

Oft-times the way is dreary and rugged seems the road,
Oft-times I’m weak and weary when bent beneath some load,
But when I cry in weakness how long O Lord how long,
Jesus takes the burden and leaves me with a song.

Yes, Jesus took my burden I could no longer bear,
Yes, Jesus took my burden in answer to my prayer;
My anxious fears subsided my spirit was made strong,
For Jesus took my burden and left me with a song.

Lonely days and lonely nights filled with despair,
Caused me to long for someone to care;
Then I heard Christ say to me “This promise I've made
Lo! I am with you now and forever be not afraid.”

I'll never be lonely again, never again,
For I have opened my heart's door to Him.
So I'll brush away the tears and forget my foolish fears,
I'll never be lonely again, never again.

Sunday Morning Praise


The Promises of God

God’s promises are like the birds of heaven
That fill the hours with music all day long,
Too oft unheard and oftener unheeded
Amid earth's voices of despair and wrong;
Each one a thought of God, a joy, a comfort,
If we but pause to listen to its song.

God’s promises are like the rain of heaven
That falls in blessing from the cloudy skies,
The mown grass and the tender herb rejoicing
When all the land is parched and verdure dies,
Replenishing the streams of His refreshing
Till from the dust of earth new harvests rise.

God’s promises are like the winds of heaven
And each in turn His trumpet message brings,
Sweeping afar, with breath of sea or forest
The poison mist that o'er the lowland clings;
Reviving forces that can south and strengthen,
Life in the touch and healing in their wings.

God’s promises are like the stars of heaven,
As numberless, as glorious, as bright;
Though endless ages witness to their splendor
Still do they glow with undiminished light,
Unseen and unremembered in the sunshine
And showing fairest in the darkest night.

God’s promises, forever fixed in heaven,
Though earth and heaven pass, shall still abide;
Yea and amen they are in Christ the Saviour
And all our needs in them are satisfied.

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:6​

oly:


The Simple, Earnest Prayer

In the twilight of the morning, when the shadows steal away,
And we wake from balmy slumber to behold another day,
Let us go alone in secret, and unburden all our care
At the feet of our Redeemer, in the simple, earnest prayer.

In the noontide, calm and peaceful, when we pause awhile to rest,
Ere the sun in all its glory is declining towards the west;
In the midst of our temptation, when the cross is hard to bear,
If we cannot go in secret, God will hear the silent prayer.

When the toils of day are over, and we seek the hallowed place
Where by faith we meet our Savior, and adore Him for His grace;
How we feel our burden lighter, till we loose our weight of care,
While we lift our hearts together in the simple, earnest prayer.

In the morning, in the noontide, calm and peaceful,
When the toils of day are over, let Thy presence, blessed Savior,
Our protection ever be, give us strength for every trial,
Keep, oh, keep us close to Thee.

Now Let Us Come Before Him

Now let us come before Him, with song and prayer adore Him,
Who to our life hath given all needed strength from Heaven.
The stream of years is flowing, and we are onward going,
From old to new surviving and by His mercy thriving.

In woe we often languish and pass through times of anguish,
Of wars and trepidation alarming every nation.
As mothers watch are keeping o’er children who are sleeping,
Their fear and grief assuaging when angry storms are waging.

So God His own is shielding and help to them is yielding.
When need and woe distress them, His loving arms caress them.
O Thou who dost not slumber, remove what would encumber
Our work, which prospers never unless Thou bless it ever.

Because Thy Trust is God Alone

Because thy trust is God alone,
Thy refuge is the Highest One;
No evil shall upon thee come,
Nor plague approach thy guarded home.
Angelic guards at His commands
Will bear thee safely in their hands,
Will keep thee, lest, if left alone,
Thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Though fierce and treacherous foes assail,
Their power and wrath shall not prevail;
Their cruel strength, their venomed spite,
Thou shalt o’ercome with conquering might.
Because on Me he set his love,
I will his constant Savior prove,
And since to him My name is known,
I will exalt him as Mine own.

As oft as he shall call me on Me,
Most gracious shall My answer be;
I will be with him in distress,
And in his trouble I will bless.
Complete deliverance I will give,
And honor him while he shall live;
Abundant life I will bestow,
To him My full salvation show.

The Secret Place

There’s a special place I love to go to
That no one is able to find the way;
For it’s deep in the recesses of my mind
Where only I and the Lord can go everyday.
The light of His glory has lit up the place
What joyous surroundings — no one can intrude;
Not even Satan the devil is permitted there
To mar the joy and happiness of holy solitude.

In the audience chamber of my Lord and King
I pour out my heart's desires and longings;
He completely satisfies the needs of my soul
With songs in the nights and joys in the mornings.
When the burdens of sin and guilt consume me
And my soul cries out in despair and agony;
From the secret place I hear His loving voice:
“Child, is not my grace sufficient for Thee?”

Even if there were no pressing needs
I go to the quietude of the secret place
And when I leave our holy secret meeting
I shall reflect the image of His face.
Every day I go to the secret place
He's always there to share His joy sublime;
I hope, dear friend, that you, too, have
A similar place in the recesses of your mind.

Psalm 40:3

He Gives Me a Song

When life seems empty and all seem to go wrong;
His presence is there for He gives me a song.
When days are dreary and cold nights are long;
When heart is breaking He gives me a song.

When days are lonely and friends are all gone;
He comforts and cheers me and gives me a song.
When peace eludes me and dark fear reigns strong;
He comes in the night and gives me a song.

A stranger and a pilgrim feeling lost and forlorn;
He builds me a mansion and He gives me a song.
When temptations come from the foe's evil throng;
He assures me of victory when He gives me a song.

I've wandered away from my God and Home;
His love wins me back when He gives me a song.
Weeping endures for the night but real joy comes at morn;
He fulfills this promise when He gives me a song.

The gloom is dispelled my soul is adorned
With glory and grace ’cause He gives me a song.
I exalt my Deliv’rer, my Rock, Salvation's horn;
My heart rejoices for He gives me a song.

Strains of heav'nly music float down from the Throne;
They accompany me in praise of Him — the Giver of Songs.

My Cup Runs Over

With every blessing meet!

The bitter and the sweet.

And for the riverside;
For all Thy goodness hath bestowed,
And all Thy grace denied.

I thank Thee for both smile and frown,
And for the gain and loss;
I praise Thee for the future crown,
And for the present cross.

I thank Thee for the wing of love,
Which stirred my worldly nest;
And for the stormy clouds which drove
The flutterer to Thy breast.

I bless Thee for the glad increase,
And for the waning joy;
And for this strange, this settled peace,
Which nothing can destroy.

For Christ is our ransom, and now all is well;
Yea, broken the bondage, henceforth we are free;
Our sins shall be cast into the depths of the sea.

Then glad be our service; to give day by day,
Love’s willing allegiance to all He may say;
We’ll sing in His glory, there ever to be,
Our sins shall be cast into the depths of the sea.
