When Hope is Frail and Candles Dim
Oh, that I might have my request,
that God would grant what I hope for,
“What strength do I have, that I should still hope?
What prospects, that I should be patient?
I have been allotted months of futility,
and nights of misery have been assigned to me.
When I lie down I think, ‘How long before I get up?’
The night drags on, and I toss and turn until dawn.
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
and they come to an end without hope.
Remember, O God, that my life is but a breath;
my eyes will never see happiness again.
Job 6:8, 6:11, 7:4-7
Good Good Father
Oh, I’ve heard a thousand stories of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never alone
Oh, and I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word
You’re a Good, Good Father
It’s who you are, it’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
Oh, it’s love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love
You’re a Good, Good Father
It’s who you are, it’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, it’s who I am, it’s who I am

Happy Father’s Day! ♥
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”
I John 3:1
A Rock and A Hard Place
A Place Called Hard
Lord, I have me a mountain,
I need You to remove
I have me a situation
only You can improve.
Lord, I got me a dilemma,
that needs to be resolved
I have me a problem
I need You to be involved.
Lord, I have me a river,
it’s as wide as it is deep
I have me a condition
that I don’t want to keep.
Lord, I have a clear view,
of the storm that’s ahead
I have me an idea
it’s going to be widespread.
Lord, I’m between a rock,
and a place called hard
so I am going to need You
to be my constant guard.
Lord, I’m placing my life,
in the palm of Your hand
trusting this predicament . . .
is just a part of Your plan!
