BE WITH US DEAR LORD ..

LORD - as we walk in the shadows -
In the valleys - in that place where the sun
Rarely shines - be with us dear LORD - in the
Shadows - and don't let us go - as we walk -
In these uncertain times .


LORD - as we walk in the valley of
Heartaches - where each day - we seem
Locked up in deep-rooted pain - be with us 
Dear LORD - in the sorrows - and free
Us from grief's binding pain .


LORD - as we walk in the heat of 
The desert - where our parched soul is
Thirsting for rain - be with us dear LORD - in
The sun scorched land - and restore
And refesh us again . 


And - LORD - as we walk in green 
Pastures - with a sweet sense of joy in
Our heart - be with us dear LORD - so we
Never forget - all the  goodness and
Love - You so freely impart .


Yes LORD ...... Because You are with us ...


We will thank You in all the dark
Shadows - and times of our heartache
And pain - and the places - where all around
Us are barren - for want of Your 
Life-giving rain .


But - most of all - we will thank You
Dear LORD for Your mercy - and all the 
Goodness You have shown - over and over
Again - when You brought us into Your
Kingdom of Love and forgiveness
And took away all  our sin -
And our Shame .


Yes LORD .....

Thank You for Your Loving
Kindness - that You lavish on us -
In so many ways - and - may we never
Forget Your Salvation and care -
And say - thank You - dear 
LORD - every day .

Dear friends .. I wrote this poem two days
before I heard the news of the loss of one of 
my grandchildren .. 

So I know what it is to say ' Thank You ' to the
Lord in the midst of heartache and pain ..

And .. I also know that He hears and answers 
our heart cry .. and is walking with us in the 
times of sorrow ..

I pray for anyone who needs His touch today 
that you will cry out to Him .. and He will hear
you .. and be with you .


God bless you all 
With His love and peace 
Always
