~ In Answer To My Prayer ~
I wish I could hold your hand and soothe your troubled brow
Shelter you from heartache, whisk sorrow from you now
I wish my meagre comfort could ease this torrid time
So night would disappear and the sun come out to shine.

I wish there was assurance, that all will work for good
Just like our Saviour promises, somehow it always would
I'd like for you the wisdom, to manage each new day
And that I might find the words, I really need to say.

I'd like for you to never have, another awful fright
Neither fret nor worry, whether answers are in sight.
I'd like to grant the power, to bear the dreadful pain,
To take from you the burden, that always seems a strain.

Oh, that my thoughts could hush, the wild and raging storm
The cold wind cease to blow, so warmth creeps in at dawn.
That the secret, be unveiled to bring a peace of heart
The very grace from heaven, that God alone imparts.

Then God, came near and whispered, so gently in my ear
Fear no more, your loved one, to Me is ever near - 
He told me not to feel responsible and to place you in His care
For He is granting all you need, in answer to my prayer.

He told me mysteries I never know, are in His plan of love
And all that I may want, will never be enough
But what His hand unfolds, will always meet your need
If I just ask in prayer and for His mercy plead.

So, I will lift you to the Father, my heart to Him ascend
And pray His will be done, for He is our best friend
His strength will be yours, His comfort will be near
He will bid His angels, as protection from all fear

So though I cannot help you, as I truly wish I could
With my human frailty, I will pray just as I should
And The Father's tender heart, will cover you with care
While I forever whisper, your name in loving prayer

~ 'Tis Jesus ~

'Tis Jesus, Beloved, that lifts us from fear
'Tis Jesus, Protector, that ever draws near.
Who eases the sorrow and turns it to peace
And gives us His presence, so joys never cease.

'Tis Jesus, who comforts, and soothes raging pain
Who takes what is loss and turns it to gain.
'Tis Jesus, our Shepherd, who leads us to light
Protects us from darkness, and gives us His sight.

'Tis Jesus, who stays, when we are alone
And murmers, I love you, in tones sweet and low.
'Tis Jesus , our peace, the calm in our breast
Who made all the beauty and gives us His rest.

'Tis Jesus who gathers, the tears that we shed
Who makes sense of sorrow, by words that He said.
'Tis Jesus, the Power, that walls us about
So we are kept safe, from evil without.

'Tis Jesus, compassion, that holds us at night
And keeps us from fighting what He will make right.
'Tis Jesus, our Lord, who calms every storm
Who brings us the glory of morning's bright dawn.

'Tis Jesus, the strength, we need through the day
To keep us from choosing what only decays.
'Tis Jesus' great wisdom that teaches our mind
To seek what is lasting, the real treasure find.

'Tis Jesus who heals, the anger, the hurt
Who covers with balm, each heart that is burnt.
'Tis Jesus, our Friend, who shows us His will
Breaking the struggle with whispers - be still.

'Tis Jesus, Redeemer, who takes every wrong
So we can go home, to where we belong.
'Tis Jesus' forgiveness, that lifts us from hell
So we can believe that all will be well.

'Tis Jesus, our Father, who makes our soul new
Who takes the confusion, reveals what is true.
'Tis Jesus, the Door, that opens the way
And helps us to hear, what He needs to say.

'Tis Jesus, the Victor, who fought human sin
Who died on that cross, our life to win.
"Tis Jesus, who conquered, the grave's cruel fate
Yes, He is the key,  He is heaven's gate.

 These things have I spoken unto you,
that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy
might be full.~ John 15:11
