I Only Needed To Pray

In a stormy time, when I felt alone

Your face I couldn’t see

I walked through a valley, so dark and deep

But Lord, You were there with me

I struggled and cried, my hands were tied

“Just when would this trial end?”

In the midst of it all, in weakness I called

On Your Name ~ O Jesus my Friend

You lifted me up when my eyes looked down

At the problems I faced each day

You reminded me, Lord – again and again

I ONLY needed to pray

I only needed to lean on You more

To trust in Your faithful word

To know that this valley was just for a time

To know that my prayers were heard

Although I had done the best I could

My faith was truly tried

Sometimes I felt I’d failed the test

But yet ~ deep down inside

Your mercy and grace propelled me on

Upholding me night and day

Your beams of love kept shining through

I only needed to pray

~

Thank You Jesus!

With You I'll Win

When the journey of faith just seems to be

A hill that’s hard to climb

And it seems as though I’m barely moving

One step at a time

O Jesus help me to keep my eyes

On You and You alone

O help me Lord to spend more time ~

Waiting before Your throne

I know that You will lift me up

By Your almighty grace

You’re the hope within my longing heart

With You, I’ll win this race

Lord, Be My Compass

Dear Lord, be my compass

As I journey on

My trust is in You Lord

For You’re never wrong

With You in the picture

I know I’ll succeed

With Your hand to guide me

I know You will lead

In the way I should go

And the path I should take

Please guide all my steps

And each move that I make

Whichever direction

You’d have me to go

Please help me to follow ~

Help me to know

For You are my Captain

And focus of faith

My Alpha and Omega

On You Lord I wait

To run on without You

I’m certain to fail

Like a ship on the sea ~

Without a firm sail

O shine on my path Lord

Each day and each night

Surround me, O Saviour

With heavenly Light

I’m trusting in You ~

My joy and my song

O Lord, be my compass

As I journey on
