ABIDE IN MY LOVE

When the storm is at its fiercest,
When the winter clouds lie low,
When summer’s but a memory,
The sun has lost its glow.

When prayer seems but a burden,
When God seems out of sight,
When every fear looms eerily,
Doubt grimly stalks the night.

When hope has lost conviction,
When old memories stir grief,
When prayer becomes a struggle,
Faith grants but scant relief.

The Word leaps down from heaven,
To calm the raging sea,
“Abide in Me” He whispers,
“My love will set you free.”

On the Wings of Prayer

 All I need is silence,
A heart quiescent and still,
Submitting to Your Spirit,
I gladly yield my will.
Under His direction,
Light and truth are shed,
I gain understanding,
As Your Sacred Word is read.
He sets aflame my senses,
He vivifies my soul,
He breathes new life into me,
My joyous spirit soars.
Ascending to Mount Zion,
I rise on eagle’s wings,
Worshiping the Father,
And exalting You my King.

YOUR SPIRIT OF LOVE

Send Your Spirit on me Lord,

As soft as morning dew,

As gentle as a summer rain,

Refresh, revive, renew.

When my human spirit ,

Is too weak He’ll pray and plead, 

With moans and groans too deep for words,

He’ll sigh and intercede.

Your Holy Spirit guarantees,

To grant the grace I need,

To stay in fellowship with You,

As I live out the Creed.

There is no greater gift than this,
That God abides in me,

And through Your Holy Spirit 

Loves me ineffably.
