When the days feel dark and cold,
when sadness fills my life.
When my heart is filled with pain
and all I face is strife.
I'll turn to You my precious Lord,
I'll reach up to the sky.
For I know You really care.
when all I do is cry.
My heart is reaching out to You,
I know You understand.
I know You want to get me through,
so guide me by Your hand.
I know You stay with me each day,
You catch me when I fall.
O Lord to You I'm reaching out,
and I give to You my all.
I give to You my scrapes and scars,
my sorrows and my strife.
I give You all my worries Lord.
The problems in my life.
My heart is heavy but I know,
this pain You'll take away.
So Lord I'm reaching out to You
and I know I'll be okay.
My heart is reaching to You Lord,
I long to trust You more.
I long to feel You close to me,
and feel Your blessings pour.
You always have and always will
be all I'll ever need.
So Lord I'll keep on reaching out,
and follow where You lead.

I sat upon the hard cold floorand from my eyes the tears did pour.I bowed my head and tried to praybut I couldn't express what I had to say.I felt like no one cared for meas I sat there leaning on my knee.But I didn't give up so I tried againto ask God to take all this pain.I know He heard my every pleabut still the pain just stayed with me.I know He sat right by my sideas I bowed my head and cried.I still have faith that He loves meand I know with Him I want to be.But at that time I did not feelHis gentle touch reach down and heal.I must admit it didn't feel rightand the pain stayed with me to the night.I kept on calling, "Please help me,Please take this pain and set me free."But God had other plans that day,He did not rush the pain away.He had me thinking all day longabout why my life goes so wrong.I kept on thinking of my life,and wondering why I face such strife.I questioned God throughout the dayabout the things that come my way.I told Him, "I don't understand,I cannot see what you have planned.Please show me Lord I need to knowIf all this pain will ever go".All day long I prayed and cried,I wanted to run away and hide.Confusion seemed to fill my mind,peace and joy I could not find.Something held me back that daybut for this to change I must obey.So I turned to God and said, "Change me"and suddenly my heart felt free.I knew He never left my side,from me my God would never hide.Beside me He will always stayif I just follow and obey.He waited paitently for meand He opened up my eyes to see....That no matter what I face each dayHe'll never guide me the wrong way.I still have struggles in my life,but alone I'll never face the strife.I trusted Him and He changed me,He took the pain and set me free.He'd never turn His back on me,through good and bad with me He'll be.I know He loves me O so muchand late that day I felt His touch.

One WishSo many struggles we do face,they knock us to the ground.It’s sometimes hard to get back upand face the world around.But my dear friend you need to knowthat God is on your side.He loves you and wants you to runinto His arms and hide.I wish my friend that you did knowthe love He offers you.That you would turn to Him right nowand He’d help you get through.I wish you knew that there was hope,that joy can fill your soul.That He is waiting for your callso He can make you whole.Dear friend if I could have one wish,I’d wish for you God’s love.I’d wish you‘d open up your heart,to the Father up above.No other wish would be enough,for God is who you need.I promise you He really caresand His love is guaranteed.My friend there’s nothing better thanto feel God’s awesome love.So if I could have one single wish,I’d wish you God above.God hears our wishes when we pray,He knows my wish for you.And every single day I’ll pray,that my wish will come true.

Lord, I am going to put you on hold
I'm just too busy down here below
I can handled whatever life may bring
I'm just going on doing my own thing
Lord, I am going to put you on hold
I have things down here under control
I know I am doing some things wrong
But I have to find out where I belong
Lord, are you still there on hold?
I want you to know I'm getting old
Lord, I know you can hear; listen; wait
I'm praying now Lord, give me a break
