On The Wings Of A Prayer

Just close your Eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let him hold you secure in his love.

For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved,
But God only ask us to do our best,
Then he will take over and finish the rest...

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you,
And that is the door to The House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.
And The House of Prayer is no further away,
than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.

For the heart is a temple when God is there
As we place ourselves in his loving care.
And he hears every prayer and answers each one
When we Pray in His name - Thy will be done.
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.

Hope and Beauty

Hope and Beauty
In the smiles of children everywhere

Children smile everywhere
In our homes and in our care
In orphanages far away
Children smile, laugh and play.
Homeless, motherless, so sad you say
Yet children seem to find their way
To puddles,dirt and magic wands
To laughter, friendship and special bonds.
Nighttime is the hardest
With its darkness, shadows and fears
Loss and lonliness come upon them
fighting back their tears.
A mother's embrace and gentle kiss
These things far beyond their reach
Morning will come, the sun will shine
We look to them to teach.
Teach us to smile despite it all
To laugh and play and dance.
Can we do something to change the course
Do we leave it all to chance?
Loving words and actions
Ripples in the sea
Change the fate of one or two
Countless wonders yet to be.
Children smile everywhere
In our homes and in our care
One less orphan far away
Home at last to laugh and play.
