"Blessings"

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering

And all the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear

And we cry in anger when we cannot feel you near

We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love

As if each promise from Your Word is not enough

And all the while, You hear each desperate plea

And long that we'd have faith to believe

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us

When darkness seems to win, we know

That pain reminds this hearts,

That this is not, this is not our home.....

It's not our home

Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near

What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise?

What if my greatest disappointments,

Or the aching of this life,

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy.

What if trials of this life,

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are your mercies in disguise?

Peace Of Mind

                                                       

Is there no peace in this world


No freedom from pain and worry


Will there always be anxiety


Over sins we cannot bury?


Our Holy God reminds us,


Work Six days  every week,


On the seventh day we shall rest,


And listen for Him to speak.



When we follow His commandments


And take time to hear His Word,


We refresh our mind and spirit


Our lives to undergird

We need to seek Him often


In a quiet place,

And chat with Him like family,


To find His cherished grace.



He wants to hear our voices,


Say, "I love and trust you, Father God.


Thank Him for His love and mercy,


And smile instead of sob.



He gets enormous pleasure,


From our sincere prayer,


When we treat like a real Father,


 He goes with us everywhere.



Peace of mind is His gift,


To carry us through a cloudy day,


Spend all the time you can,


Along the straight and narrow way.



Make the time to meet with Him,


On this busy road of life,


And peace will heal your sorrows,


And free you from gloom and strife.




When a Child is Born

A ray of hope flitters in the sky

A tiny star lights up way up high

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas

The winds have changed whisper in the trees

And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn

This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around

You've got the feel you're on solid ground

For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn

This comes to pass when a child is born

And all of this happened

Because the world is waiting

Waiting for one child

Black, white, yellow, no one knows

But a child that would grow up and turn tears to

laughter

Hate to love, war to peace

And everyone to everyone's neighbour

Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It's all a dream and illusion now

It must come true, sometimes soon somehow

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born

Silent Night, Holy Night

Silent night, holy night,

All is calm, all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and Child.

Holy Infant, so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight;

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born!

Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, love’s pure light;

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Silent night, holy night

Wondrous star, lend thy light;

With the angels let us sing,

Alleluia to our King;

Christ the Savior is born,

Christ the Savior is born!

HOLY NIGHT

ALTERNATE TRANSLATION

Holy night, peaceful night!

Through the darkness beams a light

There, where they sweet vigils keep

O’er the Babe in silent sleep;

Resting in heavenly peace,

Resting in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holiest night!

Darkness flies and all is light!

Shepherds hear the angels sing;

“Hallelujah! hail the King!

Jesus, the Savior is here,

Jesus, the Savior is here.”

Holiest night, peaceful night!

Child of heaven, O how bright

Thou didst smile when Thou was born;

Blessèd was that happy morn,

Full of heavenly joy,

Full of heavenly joy.

HOLY NIGHT

ALTERNATE TRANSLATION

Translated from German to English by Jane M. Camp­bell, 1863.

Holy night! Peaceful Night!

All is dark, save the light

Yonder where they sweet vigil keep

O’er the Babe who in silent sleep

Rests in heavenly peace,

Rests in heavenly peace.

Holy Night! Peaceful Night!

Only for shepherds’ sight

Came blest visions of angel throngs,

With their loud alleluia songs,

Saying, Christ is come,

Saying, Christ is come.
