PRAISE IN TIME OF DISTRESS

 DEAR FATHER~THANK YOU

Lyrics to an Original Song 

PRAISE IN TIME OF DISTRESS

       

Thank You for love beyond compare

Thank You for gentle, tender care

When pain I can no longer bear,

Thank You for keeping me

Thank You for raising me above

Thank You for warm, unfailing love
And for Your power that won't be moved
Thank You for life in Christ

When paths are blocked...

When doors are closed...

You draw me to your heart

With sweet repose

And make a way

Thank You for joy of saving grace

And for the strength of Your embrace.

Thank You for life in Christ

        My All in All

He knows us by name...

Isaiah 49:16 Your name is written on the palm of my hand

DEAR FATHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL PROMISE OF PROTECTION AND NEARNESS.  YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH US AND WE THANK YOU FOR THE REALITY OF YOUR PRESENCE.  WE PRAY THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO ENABLE US TO SENSE YOUR PRESENCE DAILY IN WHATEVER CIRCUMSTANCES WE MAY FIND OURSELVES, FOR 'IN YOUR PRESENCE IN FULLNESS OF JOY.'  SHOWER US WITH THE BLESSED ASSURANCE OF YOUR SWEET PRESENCE ON A DAILY BASIS AND THANK YOU FOR THIS BLESSING.

IN THE PRECIOUS NAME OF JESUS,

AMEN
