The greatest love story ever read or told
Happened over two thousand years ago
God gave to us His only begotten Son
His name was Jesus, and He loved everyone

His love for us was so great and true
He gave His life for me and you
He died for us so brave and bold
He died to save our very souls

Other loves are like a summer flower
They blossom for awhile, then they are not there
But His love lingers as the ages roll on
His love continues long after the others are gone

Enduring Faith
Author Unknown


I've dreamed many dreams that never came true,
I've seen them vanish at dawn,
But I've realized enough of my dreams, thank God,
To make me to want to dream on.

I've prayed many prayers when no answer came
Though I waited patient and long,
But answers have come to enough of my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I've trusted many a friend that failed,
And left me to weep alone,
But I've found enough of my friends true blue,
To make me keep trusting on.

I've sown many a seed that fell by the way
For the birds to feed upon,
But I've held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me keep sowing on.

I've drained the cup of disappointment and pain
And gone many days without song,
But I've sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on.

Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while...
I need a friend who'll listen,
To my anxieties and trials...

You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own...
I need your love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.

I want to ask you please to keep
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence,
For whatever fate they're bound.

Give me faith, dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things,
I can't change in any way.

I thank you God, for being home,
And listening to my call,
For giving me such good advice,
When I stumble and fall.

Your number, God, is the only one
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.

So thank you, God, for listening,
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You, too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!

There will be a brighter tomorrow someday
I'll look up and the clouds will move away
And when I hear that trumpet's loud blast
I will know that Jesus has returned at last.

There will be a brighter tomorrow someday
When I'll see Jesus in His glorified array
All God's children will be taken up in the air
Others will be confessing and saying prayers

There will be a brighter tomorrow someday
I'll be watching, waiting; I won't be afraid
It will be a great Heaven going home time
And I pray to Jesus no one gets left behind
