FRET NOT

Fret not little lamb, I'm your SHEPHERD
I am holding you close to my breast
Though hurricane winds, and rains prevail
In MY arms there is peace and rest
Fret not, though you may be broken
Count all you may lose as "gain"
Remember MY child, I am Faithful
Let this be your heart's refrain

Fret not for your home and possessions
They are all mine to give or to take,
More precious than gold or silver
Is MY PRESENCE with you, when you wake
Fret not, for I'LL never forsake you
You are MINE through eternity
You are "precious dear one" and I love you
Forever MY CHILD you will be

Fret not, "MY DEAR JEWEL" I'M your FATHER
All your needs I will amply supply
Call on ME "blood bought child" and remember
On MY PROMISES, you can rely
I am closer to you, than your next breath
I'M your hope, and your helper, each day
Give ME praise, and each burden I'LL lighten
Give ME praise, and I'LL teach you MY WAY

I am working all things for your good child
Every trial a new lesson to learn,
As you cast every care upon ME,
For MY FELLOWSHIP earnestly yearn
Then nothing in life will defeat you,
As together we go though each day
Lean on ME child, MY strong arms will hold you
There is "VICTORY" as you walk MY WAY

Fret not, of what may come tomorrow
Your future I hold in MY hand
I'm your hope and your comfort, in sorrow
I'M your "ROCK" and I'LL help you stand
Fret not, for MY PRESENCE surrounds you
You are wrapped in MY LOVE AND MY GRACE
Look up child, your "Redemption" draws closer
One day soon, you will see JESUS face

IN THE VALLEY Suffering

Yea though I walk through the valley of darkness
JESUS is holding my hand, firm and tight
I will not stumble, for JESUS is Guiding
HE'LL turn my darkness, into HIS Light

Though pain afflicts me, I will not cry out
Though friends have left me, I'm not alone
JESUS my SAVIOR, tenderly holds me
HE gently whispers "I AM HIS OWN"

Down in the valley, my eyes are lifted
I can see JESUS, at GOD'S right hand
One day I'll be, in GOD'S holy presence
And with my JESUS, I'll joyfully stand

Till then, this valley, is home for a season
My heart takes wing, to heaven I fly
Soon I'll be with HIM, the KING of all GLORY
HE will hold me close, in the "Sweet bye and bye"

SUFFERING

There is a fellowship so rare
That's found in suffering
For in the pain, we see the face
OF JESUS CHRIST, our KING

HE Suffered more than any man
Yet not a word cried HE
It was our Shame, our Sin, our Guilt
That nailed HIM to the tree

In Suffering, we taste the pain
That our dear SAVIOR bore
In Suffering, CHRIST hold our hand
Who could ask for more?

GOD'S purpose through our Suffering
Is that we know HIS GRACE
For HE is our Sufficiency
When trials, and storms, we face

May all our pain and suffering
Lift our eyes above
And may GOD kiss us with HIS GRACE
And hold us close in Love

Surely we do Suffer
This earth's been cursed by Sin
But HE'LL turn pain to GLORY
When we Reign with Him
May we not waste one moment
That's ours in Suffering
Instead, Enjoy the Fellowship
We have, with CHRIST our KING

CHRISTMAS THE TIME TO CELEBRATE CHRIST

How will you celebrate Christmas?
Where will your focus be?
Is CHRIST JESUS, the one you celebrate
Or is it the Christmas tree?

How will you celebrate Christmas?
What's uppermost in each thought?
Is it the CHRIST of Christmas?
Or the countless gifts you have bought?
Do you think about our Savior?
How He died to set us free

How He took our shame and punishment

On the Cross of Calvary?

Do you think about the lashes?
How they cut and ripped His skin
Of the agonizing pain endured
In payment for our sin?

Do you think about the mockings?
How they spat in Jesus face
How they pulled, and plucked His beard out
That we might know God's grace

Do you think about His precious blood?
That flowed forth from His side
More marred was He, than any man
Now in Him, we abide

Do you think of how alone He was?
How He Cried in agony
"My God, My God, His voice rang out
Why has Thou forsaken Me"?

DO you think of what it cost God?
That in love, He died for all?
But not all will receive Him,
Or come when Jesus calls

This Christmas let us celebrate
The birth of "Christ the King"
Who came to earth to die for us
To Jesus, let us sing
