UNDER THE BLUE AND SUNNY SKY

 

Under the blue and sunny sky

I open my heart and sing

In praise to the heavenly father

For the beauty of the morning

And raise up my hands in worship

Of my one true God and King

TRUST IN HIM

 

Trust in Him each day

He is dependable always

Trust Him to guide you

He will always be with you

 

Keep Him in your heart

You are never far apart

Pray in the bad times

Praise in the good times

 

Trust in Him each day

He is dependable always

 

I PRAY FOR PEACE

 

I pray for peace around the world

Each day on bended knee

So why does such a prayer of peace

Go unanswered, answer me

It’s not that God doesn’t hear the prayer

He wants the same you see

God prays for peace around the world

Each day on bended knee

But his prayers remain unanswered

For mankind is deafened to his plea

THE HOST OF STREET ANGELS

 

Spread the good news

By any means you choose

Pass on the news to all

Herald it with clarion call

And drummers drumming

The Street Angels are coming

 

A host of angels on the beat

Where the folk of Woking meet

Armed only with God’s light

To illuminate those in plight

But not to preach or evangelize

Nor to judge or chastise

But to listen with sympathetic ears

Offer a tissue to stem the tears

Have a Christian heart to care

And make a difference there

 

For road weary travellers

And over enthusiastic revellers

The intoxicated and the incapable

The distressed and the vulnerable

And for the impromptu shoeless

And the temporarily clueless

They have sensible Flip flops

And sugar boosting Lollipops

 

So spread the good news

By any means you choose

Pass on the news to all

Herald it with clarion call

And drummers drumming

The Street Angels are coming

And their blessed presence on the street

Shows that God is on his feet

ABIGAILS TALE - ONE DAY VERY SOON

 

In the comfort of the coffee shop

Nestled into a sofa

Sits Abigail, homesick and sad

As she reads a letter from home

 

She knows the sadness will pass

And sooner this time than the last

It strikes each time a letter arrives from home

With news from those she left behind

 

Her parents, loving and kind

Her sister annoyingly lovely

All her friends of long standing

And of course, him

 

She left her hometown

The only place she had ever lived

After her marriage failed

So, she is building a new life

 

Away from the people and places

Away from all the familiarity

That reminded her daily

Of her failure and her inadequacies

 

So, she lives in a new town

And is making new friends

Discovering new familiar places

And trying to forget past mistakes

 

She has joined a new church

Where her angel’s voice

Sings in praise to heaven

And she is finding peace within herself

 

One day very soon Abigail will sit

In the comfort of the coffee shop

Nestled into a sofa

And not be homesick and sad

 

One day very soon Abigail will read

A long letter from home

And smile at it contents

And not feel the old pain strike

 

One day very soon

Abigail will let herself be happy

One day very soon

Abigail will forgive herself

CHRIST THE REDEEMER

Christ the redeemer

He died on the cross

He died to save us

And His majesty

Made of the world

A place of hope

A place of grace

A place of freedom

A place of love

He called us from the darkness

Into His loving light 

THE BORN AGAIN GOD

 

Kneeling before the cross,

A simple sign of faith

A potent symbol of his love

A symbol whose holy shadow

Casts the light of love across the world

I am in the presence of the Lord

I feel His hand on my shoulder

His love in my heart

I find I am at peace

In the presence of the lord

I feel His reassuring presence

The Son of God

The Prince of Peace

Who died upon the cross

Who died on a hill in Calvary

And was born again

I feel the power of His glory

I feel at peace

I feel his Godliness

His Goodliness

He surrounds me with his love

And he comforts me

Making the world a less savage place
