For yesterday, I thank You Lord.
There were years that seemed
just like a dream.
There were life-changing scenes.
But I've come to know
that You allowed me to go
through that maze,
those difficult days
(and You were there always)
so I would grow.
You kept me strong,
like a tree amidst the storms.
You had hopes for me
when the future I couldn't see.
When I despaired,
so misty was the view -
until I saw You,
looking down from heaven,
showing You care.
Nothing compares
with Your love.
You saw my heart
and picked me up.
I owe everything to You.
For all You've done for me.
for all my yesterdays,
I'm grateful.
Thank You, Lord.

As a glimmer of light on a starless night Faith keeps hope alive When days seem long and you don’t feel strong Faith will help you thrive
Like Winter, Summer, Autumn or Spring Life brings seasons of change As sure as the sun, trials do come But friend - don’t think it strange
Faith sings a song of joy within
For things still yet unseen
Rejoicing in hope, it helps you to win
So don’t give up your dream
Hold onto God through faith in Christ And always sing your song The answer will come, just trust in Him Each day as you journey along

More time in Your presence More time at Your feet
To savour Your fragrance
That makes us complete
May we enter Your courts
Our worship to bring.
One moment with You Lord
Can change everything.
Less time for the things
Of this world that would steal
That place in our hearts
Where You want to reveal
Your bountiful goodness
Your mercy and grace
O help us to spend time
Just seeking Your face
Your presence dispels
All our doubts and our fears
A day with You Lord
Can restore wasted years
O let Your anointing
Be poured from above
To saturate us
With Your treasures of love Till time will transform
To eternity long
And forever we’ll join
With the heavenly throng
O teach us to number
Our hours and days
So you may get glory
And honour always
