The Father Runs.

A son went to a far off land with his inheritance,
He left his Father to do what he wanted to do.
His selfish life only lasted until it all ran out,
Then he came to his senses, there was only one thing to do.
His Father had been looking out since the day he left,
Hoping that his son would soon come back.
Then one day in the distance at last he saw his son,
So he ran to meet him, forgave him, for his lost son came back.
Is this you? Return to God now, he is waiting with open arms.

Fragrant Living

The deeds we do for others as we go through each day,
Smell like a fragrant flower to the Lord.
It fills his heart with gladness as we help people on our way,
It makes us each more Christ like everyday.
So continue in this practise as you go on through each year,
Remember it is pleasing to the Lord.
As you help the very needy who live their lives in fear,
Remember that the Lord himself is near.

The Tree Of Love.

The cross our saviour hung upon,
Was made out of a tree.
It was because of all our sins,
He died for you and me.
Our rebellion against our Father God,
Did not quench his love.
So he sent his only son Jesus Christ,
To show the extent of his love.

Pain With A Purpose.

Jesus died upon the cross despising all the shame,
For it was for our freedom that he endured the pain.
His love for us unequalled, no-one could love us more,
It was for our salvation all the pain he bore.
Now shout with joy to Jesus for the victory He's won,
Because of His great sacrifice life can now be fun.
For we know where we are going as we get to journeys end,
So lets share the good news with everyone as Christ we recommend.

Dependence Day.

We're all so dependant on God for our needs,
But we don't seem to see that so well.
It was for us all that he died on the cross,
So that we would not end up in Hell.
We each should thank Jesus in our prayertime each day,
For the love and concern shown by him.
If he did not come down here and die in our place,
Then we'd all still be lost in our sins.

Tender Loving Care.

God sees us as his children,
For whom he really cares.
He wants the very best for us,
And he is always there.
When we cry out to him in prayer,
He hears our every word.
God sees what we go through each day,
And guides us with his word.

Why Worry?

If life seems set against you,
There's no need for despair.
For God himself is for you,
And he'll help and show he cares.
Our God is like a fortress,
And we are safe inside.
So give to him your worries
And through them all he'll guide.
