When darkness comes Taking away the light, I put my eyes on Jesus Knowing His path is right.
When I am overcome, And feel nothing but grief, I keep my eyes on the kingdom, And my prayers seek His relief.
When my pain is beyond belief, I hold onto the Savior's name. In His long salve of relief, I keep my faith beyond all my shame.
I might not always walk the Path, But I know my Lord's way. I may struggle, but I know the math, And will be faithful to judgment day.
Old look, new look, it's still the same. I keep my faith in God's good name. In life's endless, grinding miles, Jesus keeps His love keeping me in smiles.

“Science and religion are not antagonists. On the contrary, they are sisters. While science tries to learn more about the creation, religion tries to better understand the Creator. While through science man tries to harness the forces of nature around him, through religion he tries to harness the force of nature within him.” – Wernher von Braun, (The Voice of Dr. Wernher von Braun: An Anthology (Collectors Guide Pub, 2007)
“It was settled by the Constitution, the laws, and the whole practice of the government that the entire executive power is vested in the President of the United States.” – Andrew Jackson
Nothing can change how I feel. My God's goodness keeps it real. The truth is so sublime. My God is faithful all the time.
Whatever battle, whichever foe, There is one thing that I know. The truth of my God is known by me. It's held in my heart faithfully.
Jesus, my Lord, never let me go, Though the world rocks me, to and fro. The truth I cling to is sublime. My God is faithful all the time.
As I walk through the best and worst of days, I fill my heart and voice offering praise. With the hallelujah of highest praise, He breaks the chains of my living days.
Sometimes overcome by words outspoken, There are moments my heart is broken. But I walk on knowing God's will must be done, My soul is faithful to the Father and the Son.
Jesus, my Lord, never let me go, Though the world rocks me, to and fro. The truth I cling to is sublime. My God is faithful all the time.

“The melody is the most important thing that must stay in the minds of the people who listen to you. No matter how many notes you play, you can’t let them forget what the song is.” – George Benson
“Let us not be unmindful that liberty is power, that the nation blessed with the largest portion of liberty must in proportion to its numbers be the most powerful nation upon earth. Our Constitution professedly rests upon the good sense and attachment of the people. This basis, weak as it may appear, has not yet been found to fail. Always vote for a principle, though you vote alone, and you may cherish the sweet reflection that your vote is never lost. America, in the assembly of nations, has uniformly spoken among them the language of equal liberty, equal justice, and equal rights.” – John Quincy Adams
Times like these need clarity. All answers must come from integrity. Tough times need God's leadership As we keep humble in our worship.
Sometimes we stumble at the cross. We find ourselves lost in a loss. A pastor must lead as understood. The standard is for the Church's good.
From life's highs and lows There is a lot to experience and know. The in-betweens are okay. In every moment we need to pray.
Submitting ourselves to God's sovereignty, We keep ourselves bound in Christian loyalty. Being intentional as it is with tension, Our free will requires our best attention.
Along with God's gift of great capability Comes the duty of even greater responsibility. Praying aloud as needed in every season, The Lord forms the depth of each reason.
Children of the living God, we are, And that much of our identity carries far. Engaged faithfully in the processes of love, We are charged to follow the ways from above.
When the spirit of Christ falls on us all, His people become the temple responsive to His call. We are all a part of this one body. Each in the family is needed, all of us, everybody.
God binds the wounded in their healing. Yet as God's arm, we move beyond feeling. Like iron sharpens iron, we are outreaching, Learning the pathways of the love we are preaching.
When the Lord speaks, we should not just hear. Instead, we should listen closely without fear. God speaks what is needed for our good service That we may rise to readily fulfill God's purpose.
New life can come from patiently seeking to find The path forward to truly see and not be blind. Each of us is the Church, and faithfully remain so. Let's spread God's love wherever it is we go.
The ending time of a season Happens, of course, for His own reason. Time has its own timing, forgiven from sin. As life from death, we eternally begin again.

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
