Others

Words: Charles D. Meigs , 1917. Lord, help me live from day to day In such a self-forgetful way That even when I kneel to pray My prayer shall be for—Others. Refrain Others, Lord, yes others, Let this my motto be, Help me to live for others, That I may live like Thee. Help me in all the work I do To ever be sincere and true And know that all I’d do for You Must needs be done for—Others. Refrain Let “Self” be crucified and slain And buried deep: and all in vain May efforts be to rise again, Unless to live for—Others. Refrain And when my work on earth is done, And my new work in Heav’n’s begun, May I forget the crown I’ve won, While thinking still of—Others. Refrain

Church vs World

Image
   The Church and the World The Church and the World walked far apart On the changing shores of time, The World was singing a giddy song, And the Church a hymn sublime. “Come, give me your hand,” said the merry World, “And walk with me this way!” But the faithful Church hid her gentle hands And solemnly answered “Nay! I will not give you my hand at all, And I will not walk with you; Your way is the way that leads to death; Your words are all untrue.” “Nay, walk with me but a little space,” Said the World with a kindly air; “The road I walk is a pleasant road, And the sun shines always there. Your path is thorny and rough and rude, But mine is broad and plain; My way is paved with flowers and dews, And yours with tears and pain. The sky to me is always blue, No want, no toil I know; The sky above you is always dark, Your lot is a lot of woe. There’s room enough for you and me To travel side by side.” Half shyly the Church approached the World And gave him her hand of sno...

To Jesus, Our Lord and King

To Jesus, Our Lord and King   You are the First and Last, the Beginning and the End! You are the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all! You are the Architect of the universe and The Manager of all times. You always were, You always are, and You always will be... Unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone! You were bruised and brought healing! You were pierced and eased pain! You were persecuted and brought freedom! You were dead and brought life! You are risen and bring power! You reign and bring Peace! The world can't understand You, The armies can't defeat You, The schools can't explain You, and The leaders can't ignore You. Herod couldn't kill You, The Pharisees couldn't confuse You, and The people couldn't hold You! Nero couldn't crush You, Hitler couldn't silence You, The New Age can't replace You, and Donahue can't explain You away! Yo...

Worship

Image
Hear the sound of heaven, like the sound of many waters It's the sound of worship, coming from the throne Cries of adoration, as men from every nation Lift their voice to make His glory known, singing Chorus: Holy, holy, holy are you Lord Holy, holy, holy are you Lord The elders and angels bow The redeemed worship you now Holy, holy, holy are you Lord   Godbless Channelofhealing

Healed and Whole

One day I dug a little hole, and put my hurt inside I thought that I could just forget I'd put it there to hide. But that little hurt began to grow, I covered it every day I couldn't leave it and go on It seemed the price I had to pay. My joy was gone, my heart was sad, pain was all I knew. My wounded soul enveloped me Loving seemed too hard to do. One day, while standing by my hole, I cried to God above And said, "If You are really there, They say, You're a God of Love!" And just like that, He was right there, And just put His arms around me He wiped my tears, his hurting child there was no safer place to be. I told Him all about my hurt, I opened up my heart He listened to each and every word to every sordid part. I dug down deep and got my hurt I brushed the dirt away And placed it in the Master...

A Very Big God!!!

We serve an awesome God! A very Big God, I tell you sometimes I feel that I can fit God into my little plans/dreams... LOL. I would love for you my friend in Christ, to pay attention to the lyrics of this song and I hope and Pray that the Word comes alive for you to grasp the true meaning of Trusting God even as I have learned. Read and be Blessed Artist: Ayiesha Woods Album: Introducing Ayiesha Woods Year: 2006 Title: Big Enough     You turned water into wine - how extraordinary Gave sight to the blind - and still I carry My own load when you told me To take your yoke ‘cause yours is easy And I don't wanna box you in You've been doing big things since the world began Sometimes I just don't wanna believe That you're big enough - but you're big enough yeah! I don't wanna box you in You've been doing big things since the world began Sometimes I just don't understand that you're big enough ...

I Tell You...

God knows When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts God knows how hard you have tried. When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish God has Counted your tears. If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by God is waiting with you. When you're lonely and your friends are too busy even for a phone call God is by your side. When you think you've tried everything and don't know where to turn God has a solution. When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated God has the answer. If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope God has whispered to you. When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for God has blessed you. When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe God has smiled upon you. When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow God has opened your eyes and called you by name. Remember that wherever y...

Be Thankful

Image
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something For it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations Because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge Because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you're tired and weary Because it means you've made a difference. It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings Channelofhealing

A SIGN OF THE TIMES

They lie on the table, side by side The Holy Bible and the TV Guide. One is well worn, but cherished with pride (Not the Bible, but the TV Guide) One is used daily to help folks decide. (Not the Bible: it's the TV Guide.) As the pages are turned, what shall they see Oh, what does it matter?...turn on the TV. Then confusion reigns, they can't all agree on what they shall watch on the old TV. So they open the book in which they confide (No, not the Bible.....it's the TV Guide.) The Word of God is seldom read. Maybe a verse e'er they fall into bed. Exhausted and sleepy and tired as can be... not from reading the Bible-from watching TV. So then back to the table, side by side, lay the Holy Bible and the TV Guide. No time for prayer....no time for the Word. The plan of salvation is seldom heard. But forgiveness of sin so full and free is found in the Bible.....NOT on TV

My Cup Has Overflowed

I've never made a fortune and it's probably too late now. But I don't worry about that much, I'm happy anyhow. And as I go along life's way, I'm reaping better than I sowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, Cause my cup has overflowed. Haven't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going's tough. But I've got loving ones around me, and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies He's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer, cause my cup has overflowed. O, Remember times when things went wrong, My faith wore somewhat thin. But all at once the dark clouds broke, and sun peeped through again. So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I've hoed. I'm drinking from my saucer, Cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough. I'll not ask for other blessings, I'm already blessed enough. And may I never be too busy, to help others bea...
