BY THE WATERS

Come and dwell along side of the river
by the waters that flow to deliver,
they’re the only true source
to wash away the dark force,
of iniquity, now and forever.

They are there for all steeped in sin
all you need is your faith to step in,
immerse your body and soul
waves of love will enfold,
trust in the Lord, He’ll deliver.

Fear not, when you stray from their flow
when the dry wind of sin starts to blow,
just take a fresh dip
He’ll forgive the slip,
believe in the Lord’s spoken promise.

Don’t let despair and remorse take a hold
these weeds that strangle the soul,
just dip in your cup
to the brim fill it up,
He loves you with love everlasting.

SWEET NAME OF JESUS

As many as the raindrops
as many as the sands of time,
I whisper Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
You are the reason and the rhyme.

No other name holds so much meaning
no other name brings so much peace,
when I pray Your name sweet Jesus
all my cares You do release.

Each time I whisper Jesus softly
a perfect vision comes to mind,
and all You are I see once more
and to the heights I climb.

Oh the gifts You give me
oh the blessings You bestow,
I whisper thank you Jesus
that You love me this I know.

LET ALL OF THOSE...

Let all of those
with eyes to see,
see Christ in you
and Christ in me.

Let all of those
with ears to hear,
heed His truths
and hold them dear.

Let all of those
with tongues to speak,
tell all, the Good News
that they seek.

Let all of those
with hands to touch,
bring comfort to those
who need it so much.

Let all of those
with feet to trod,
walk the straight and narrow
way to God.

Let all of those
with a heart to beat,
the rhythm of love
place it at His Feet.

SWEET MARY

Your faithful ones sweet Mary
form the circle of your crown,
our hearts like fiery rubies
aglow with faith and love profound.

With their every beat, may your grace increase
our loyalty and purity,
so as little faithful children
we are led by our sweet Mary.

Since the time of our adoption
beneath the Cross on Calvary,
her goal has been to gather
love gifts for Jesus, from sweet Mary.

May our each and every prayer
join with hers as to increase,
faith, hope and love upon the earth
Sweet Mary bring us peace.
