Retrospect


So Glad
Bannister/Elliot/Christian/Grant

`I had made some mighty plans
I thought I held them in my hands 
Then my world began to crumble all away
Tried to build it back again 
I couldn't bear to see it end
How it hurt to know, You wanted it that way..

But now, I'm so glad, glad to find the reason 
And I'm happy-sad, that You've torn it all away
Yes I'm so glad ..
..Cos, once I held it in my hand
It was a kingdom made of sand 
and now you've blown it all away
I can't believe that I can say
That I'm glad'

***

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts
neither are your ways my ways"
declares the Lord
"As the heavens are higher than the earth
So are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts"

Isaiah 55:8-9
NIV

Refine


Through it all
Shawn McDonald

...My heart still yields
in fire and heat
the rise and fall
somehow You love me through it all
..no deep, no wide, no hurt, no fight
no life, no death, no tears, no pain
could separate me from Your love'

***

``... I will refine them like silver and test them like gold
They will call my name;
 and I will answer them
I will say `They are my people' 
and they will say `The Lord is our God'  ``

Zechariah 13:9
NIV

Lifted


Carry You
A Grant
`Lay down your burden 
I will carry you
I will carry you, my child
my child
 `Cause, I can walk on water,
calm a restless sea
I've done a thousand things you've never done
I'm really watching while you struggle on your own
call my name, I'll come
Lay down your burden I will carry you
I will carry you, my child'

***

`I will be your God 
through out your life time
Until your hair is white with age.
I made you and I will care for you
I will carry you along and save you'

Isaiah 46:4
NLT

Assured

Abide with me- Henry Francis Lyte

`I wait quietly before God,
for my victory comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress where I will never be 
shaken'

NLT
