How Wonderful Thou Art

How wonderful Thou Art
When end to trouble seemed so impossible or so far away
You used Your awesome powers and grace
And came with solutions out of no place
And You were always on time
Sins You put behind
And blessed with Your grace
Your wonders so amaze

If I lived forever I can never express
Completely to You my gratefulness
For all Your wonderfulness

As my nights end and my days start
I’ll dispense thanks from the reservoir in my heart
And memories shall never depart
Of how wonderful Thou Art.

Just One Good Thing

Woke up this morning with nothing specific to do
I feel well, clothed and in right mind
Don’t want to waste the day with idle time
So Lord, give me something to do (Ephesians 2:10)
Something that will reflect on You
Even if it’s just one good thing

Even one thing would positively impact a life
And help make someone’s day bright
It could be a kind word or smile
It could a small deed for someone in need
Or spreading your word, about You I could teach

Just one good thing
That will make me feel used by you
Will make my purpose for the day fruitful
I can help spread the good news
Of all the wonderful things You do
So, Let me be used by you.

Insight

I woke up one morning with absolutely nothing to do; to the point that I had to ask God what was my purpose for waking up. He reminded me He has plenty of work to be done even If it means just positively touching the life of one person for the day. So my prayer for that day became Lord, use me today to glorify You.
Matthew 25:35-36 says For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in; naked and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

He Is Indeed A Friend On Whom You Can Depend

He can dry the tears in your eyes
Bring a smile to your face
Even though you may be burdened with trials
He will make them seem so far away
He is indeed a friend
On Whom you can depend.

He has a way of working things out
So beyond human capabilities
Just when you think no change will come about
It will come beyond what could ever be perceived
He is indeed a friend
On Whom you can depend
And promises to be there to the end. Ma 28:20.

Jesus is not only a friend
He’s the propitiation for our sin
His life He did give
So in heaven we can live
When our time on earth does end
How wonderful to have a friend
On Whom you can depend!
