I Still Love You

You hath given, You hath taken away (ref. Job 1:21)
But I still love You anyway
If You never bless me again
I’ll never forget what You’ve already done
I know it would have been much worse
Without Your intervention in my life
Right now things just won’t go right
Soon as I think problems are over
Something bad comes, and takes the good away
I tried to understand why
Even though I pray, even though so hard I try
I just get knocked down every time

One obstacle I get over, but another comes
Why does it have to be this way
Seems as if You no longer hear for what I pray
But I still love You anyway
For now and forever I’ll always be grateful
All the jambs You got me out
All the smiles I had, all the joy
You gave, You took away
But I still love You Lord.

Scripture Reference: The book of Job
In all that Job went through, He maintained His love for God
and His faith and trust in God.


Jesus The Healer

This week the sick list is unusually long
It’s not just individuals but several members of families
Some cases so dire, they need the assistance of machines
No matter the illness, Jesus is the healer
And He can heal miraculously without medicine or surgery

No illness is too complex or deep
Jesus made the lame walk, the deaf hear and the blind see (Matthew 11:5)
And chronic illnesses can still be healed
Jesus cured the woman who suffered 12 years (Luke 8:43-44)
No number of patients is too many, the sick list is not too long
Jesus healed multitudes as He traveled along (Matthew 19:1-3)

Miraculous healing wasn’t just in biblical times
Jesus the healer, has been working continuously
I know this personally
I remember getting the devastating news
When doctors said there was nothing, they can do
For me it was so crushing and surreal to hear
Couldn’t believe there was no cure far or near
But I sang every church song I knew
From minute I woke, till I fell asleep
Prayed, O Lord, please have mercy and heal me
And day by day the illness began to go away.

Prayer
Lord, the sick list is long and extensive
But it’s not too long or complex for You
Miraculous healing is the specialty You do
So, the elders of the church, members and friends
Are calling on You
We pray for Your healing mercy to make our people well again.


In The Arms Of The Lord

In the arms of the Lord I want to be
He’ll provide comfort and peace
In the arms of the Lord I want to stay
I’ll be safe from any harm that comes my way

Life can bring troubles hard to bear
But Jesus can handle them, for He cares
When nothing goes right or as planned
And pressures start to mount too fast
In the arms of the Lord I want to crawl
He provides comfort from it all

Nothing’s too hard for Him, He reminds me
And He’ll work it out the way it should be
So, I’ll just relax and worry no more
I’ll be alright in the arms of the Lord.
