Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Let Go ... Let God
This morning when I first awoke,
My shoulders were still sore,
And there beside my slippers,...
Lay my cross upon the floor.
It was just where I put it,
Before I went to sleep,
And so I placed it on my back,
'Tis where I always keep
Before I went to sleep,
And so I placed it on my back,
'Tis where I always keep
It through my waking hours,
'Til it's time to put it down,
It grows a little lighter,
On towards evening, I have found.
'Til it's time to put it down,
It grows a little lighter,
On towards evening, I have found.
This morning as the dawn appeared,
My heart was full of care,
The grievances of yesterday,
Seemed just to much to bear.
My heart was full of care,
The grievances of yesterday,
Seemed just to much to bear.
My worries seemed to multiply,
By two's and then by three's,
My burden grew in size until,
It pushed me to my knees.
By two's and then by three's,
My burden grew in size until,
It pushed me to my knees.
Reaching out for help I found,
That everyone had gone,
I raised my eyes and sobbed,
"Dear Lord, it's just too hard alone."
That everyone had gone,
I raised my eyes and sobbed,
"Dear Lord, it's just too hard alone."
Then through the sudden stillness,
There came a blessed peace,
I felt new hope arising,
And felt the heartache cease.
There came a blessed peace,
I felt new hope arising,
And felt the heartache cease.
And then I heard His footsteps,
Along the path I trod,
And He softly whispered to me,
"My child let go ... let God!"
Along the path I trod,
And He softly whispered to me,
"My child let go ... let God!"

Psalms 71: 14I will keep on expecting you to help me. I praise you more and more.
15 I cannot count the times when you have faithfully rescued me from danger.
I will tell everyone how good you are, and of your constant, daily care.
16 I walk in the strength of the Lord God. I tell everyone that you alone are just and good.
17 O God, you have helped me from my earliest childhood—and I have constantly testified to others of the wonderful things you do.
18 And now that I am old and gray, don’t forsake me.
Give me time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all your mighty miracles.
19 Your power and goodness, Lord, reach to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Where is there another God like you?
20 You have let me sink down deep in desperate problems. But you will bring me back to life again, up from the depths of the earth. 21 You will give me greater honor than before and turn again and comfort me.
LET GO AND LET GOD! |
As children bring their broken toys
|
When the clouds seem their darkest
And the daylight won’t come;
When you’re up to your ears and drowning
And can’t find a straw to hang on.
When your load gets too heavy, or your shoes get too tight;
When you’re faced with life’s battles and have no will to fight;
Remember: Let go and let God.
Remember: He is the way.
You just trust in God’s mercy every night and every day;
Remember: All thru the darkness
Remember: All thru the storm
There’s a Light there to guide you.
And the Good Lord to lean on.

Let Go! -- Let God!
When loved ones are taken, husband, wife, child, mother, sister, whichever may be.
Each survivor thinks no one loves or misses them half as much as me.
It's hard to imagine another's pain.
When in our own misery we seem determined to maintain.
It isn't until we let our loved ones go,
That we can help others and their feelings know.
Otherwise, we are wrapped up in our own feelings, our grief,
And are incapable of giving others suffering, relief.
If we trust God and know no mistakes He makes,
We should thank Him when one of our loved ones He takes.
For never again will mental or physical pain they have to endure.
Because their Heavenly Father loves them so, with Him they are secure.
Though we've always known we'd each have to leave this earth one day,
We pretend that time is far, far away.
So to wish them back on earth even if we could,
Would hurt them rather than do them good.
Let go, let God be in charge of our dear one's life.
Let go, let God remove all strife.
So God can use us to help see others through,
That have lost loved ones, like me, like you.
[ by: Mona Rae (June 1995) ]
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
