THE LORD IS WITH ME
When I have wandered deep in darkness
When my heart has gone astray
Still by His rod and staff He's kept me
Safe, protected, along life's way
Though many tears have stained my pillow
Though many fears upheave my soul
He has always proven faithful
To comfort, strengthen and console
Through life's heights and through its ebbs
Through all the times I've let Him down
His faithful love has been my shelter
Shall be 'til I bare the crown
When eternal light's dawn has broken
When life fades to shadows unknown
I will behold Him in His fullness
I will know Him as I am known
The Lord is with me to guide and keep me
The Lord is with me to uphold
By His sovereign grace and power
Christ's eternal truths unfold.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to
face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also
I am known.
1 Corinthians 13:12
NO OTHER GODS BUT YOU
There are no other gods but You
For You're the One that's just and true
But I must confess that my life is a mess
Because I keep breaking Your first commandment
I have other gods that I adore more than You
Gods that have taken Your place in my heart
It pains me to say these things
Because I've experienced the joy and love Your Spirit brings
Everyday I try to please You
But it just never seems to be enough
My mom told me that life with You is tough
But I never realized it could be this rough
Whenever I fall back into sin
You're always there to pick me up
And help me on my way again
I thank You Lord for the vision You gave me
About seven years ago
It has helped me to grow
I'll never forget it because it came from You
And no other god
Lord, please help me to get rid of
All the things that displease You
Or take Your place in my life
For there are no other gods but You.

I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God
beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from
the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD,
and there is none else. I form the light, and create
darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD
do all these things.
Isaiah 45:5-7
FILL MY CUP LORD
When I feel weary
Submitted by Alma Norman
And I've lost my zeal
Fill my cup Lord
For I long to do Your will
When I get discouraged
And my spirit needs to be renewed
Fill my cup Lord
So that my soul may be rescued
When I am tempted by satan
And one of his schemes
Fill my cup Lord
So that I may see Your guiding light as it brightly beams
When sickness and sadness
Comes my way
Fill my cup Lord
For, I know that You're in control and they'll not forever stay
Now, that I have resisted any temptations to do wrong
You've filled my cup Lord
For You are abiding in me
And I in You and now I am strong.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of
mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup
runneth over.
Psalm 23:5
