GOD HIDES, BUT GUIDES AND PROVIDES

God is a wonderful mechanic
Who can care your body and mind
He knows the best technique
Which nowhere you can find
He will stop you from falling sick
By teaching you how to be kind
Forget not in life to pray
Get peace and blissfully stay
Regret those choosing the wrong way
To God go very, very near
With hope, love and deep trust
Your prayer let Him hear
He has toward all an interest
When fall from your eyes tear
Your agonies He will arrest.

BELIEVE (by CO)

I see a star rising from the forgotten horizon
I see a light coming
from where there seems to be no rising sun
I can hear a sweet song coming from him
whose heart has been broken
I see him shine like gold whose glory
seems to have been taken
Believe in your dreams come what may
Believe in that little spark that shines day by day
Believe you'll touch the star,
even if you are stuck in the mud and clay
Believe you'll reach your goal
even if it seems to be far
Believe in that seed that is sleeping in your hand
Believe in that flower that is sleeping on your land
Believe in the sun rays and the rain
For they will both combine again and again
They will both combine someday to give you a rainbow
Believe in God for your unknown tomorrow
Eyes that do not see, ears that do not hear…
Voices that have no sound, minds that can not think…

Angels flew about that night,

Beneath that star shining bright,

Beckoning Shepherds “your Savior’s here”

“Go in haste and do not fear”,

So they fled into the still black night,

With a star alone to give them light.

Guiding them to that blessed cave,

Honored by man He’d come to save.

It was upon this hallowed morn,

To a virgin, Jesus Christ was born,

Whilst Jesus lay on a bed of straw,

Shepherds gazed on him in awe,

God had chosen humble men to see,

The incarnate Son of the Trinity;

God incarnate born forth to man,

The start of His redemption plan.

So when you kneel on Christmas day,

Close your eyes and to God you pray,

Thank Him for His gift of Grace,

Born to be sacrificed in your place.

HEAVEN'S TRANSPORT (by GA)

Directly in the midst of a rowdy crowd
Was hence, my Lord and God Jesus Christ,
Thereby transported into the marveling glory
Of Heavens. It was such an amazing sight,
To the onlookers. At the scape of Olivet!
But rather than too surprised that our Lord
Took on heaven's transport to glory, it
Could yet be more than a higher cry of
Greater surprise, when Jesus Christ shall
Descend by angelic hosts in the same manner

We looked at Him ascending to Heaven
It surely would attract the haply and the
Hapless at Christ's rapture unto Himself, as
His saints gathered, thus by the speed of Heaven's transport,
How glorious then shall our Heaven's transport so be.

SO GREAT OH GOD

AH! From the rising of the sun, to its draining lowest ebb.
OH Great, so great oh God is our God, who is to be
Eternally glorified in Worship, and praise. How oh God, indeed is my
God so Far greater than all other possible creations, that could ever
Eternally survive existence, so Great oh God, thou art Great, oh God.

For in thee, doth the testimony of my God, art being found
Greater than all men, though the prestige of my life is ensued,
engrafted and enfostered by the blood of my Lord Jesus Christ. Thou
Propitiated for my crimson sins, and makes my life so worthwhile
to live, what such a privilege yet better enjoyed and paid for in God!

How transcending is thine greatness which finds life
Eternal for my soul, and as it oozes from the depths of my
Heart, the sweet splendour of thine Holy Spirit divine art my pleasure!
How so great is the God, Great is the God who I worship in
Christ Jesus, in the enshroudery of the Holy Ghost! So Great oh God.

TRULY IN FREEDOM

In abhorrence of a soul so sinfully enthronged,
is the fraudulence of a life, pricelessly by
Christ so paid up for. Where the effervescence
and rendezvous of my life blossoms into the
Liberty, set out full fledge, truly in freedom.

In the hands of the robbers of souls, by
the chains of captivity do I truly in freedom
set out at liberty, And truly indeed I ‘m free,
by the greater price of an indebtedness
of a wage, though prodigious, yet far better paid over.

For truly, if the son of God shall make me free,
I shall be free indeed. Ah ! I’m freed, I live
Truly in freedom. For where the spirit of the Lord
Shall be, there is liberty. For marvelous is the
Blood of the lamb, In whom I live now on truly in freedom.

A STRENGTH SO DIVINE

What a weakling so dare contemned for the maggot
So brutall'd by the mighty, to be relished and left
For the dead. So terribly high is the weight drastically
To submerge him. The violence of the treachery
Speaks with articulation against the innocence of the doubtless.
So doubtless is the power of his conviction, in the
Downright of his heart, in the amazing strength of Christ
So divine and boundless, oh very decapitulative to,
Sawn the devices of foes, and subtle imaginations
Of the raging surveillance of the enmity over a vibrant soul.

How mighty is thine strength, oh Lord our king
When as our Saviour and Father, thou by thine
Divinity, exemplified our lives, from a desupernaturalised
Condition of a soul so unworthy, and into life eternal,
Do I so find myself in thee, in a strength so divine do I live on.
