Our Children – Colossians 3:21
Our children
Our legacy
The way we are
Is reflected in their soul
Kindness and compassion
A father to a child
No bitter heart
To discourage the soul
Love and care
For the children we’re blessed with
The word and the truth
Speak to their souls
Our children
Our legacy
Colossians 3:21
Psalm 115:14
Another week slowly passes since my accident, it will be eight weeks this Friday, but I am thankful to the Lord for my children, in that first week, when I could hardly move, where just standing was a problem, my children were there for me, the looked after me and served me without complaining.
I pray that their strength and belief in the Lord does indeed flourish.
KING OF LOVE by I AM THEY
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever
And He is mine forever
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth
Never failing, Ruler of my heart
Everlasting, Lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of Love my Shepherd is
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Lost and foolish off I strayed
But yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me
In death’s dark veil I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still
Thy cross before to guide me
Never failing, Ruler of my heart
Everlasting, Lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of Love my Shepherd is
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Never failing, Ruler of my heart
Everlasting, Lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Never failing, Ruler of my heart
Everlasting, Lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of Love my Shepherd is
The King of Love my Shepherd is
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd, may I sing Your praise
Within Your house forever
Within Your house forever

Family – Isaiah 54:13
Lord You blessed us with their life
As we watched them come into this world
Their tiny little hearts entrusted to our hands
Now we watch them face life’s troubles
As they grow up in this world
We help them in our own way
Trying to let them know how much we care
Now I lift my prayer to You my Lord
And ask You guide them in their way
Let them feel You in their hearts
So they know You’re at their side
Let them dwell in the love of the Father
To bring them peace in the face of their trials
Lord let this family rise
From the ruins in which it lies
To triumph over it’s battles
And live a life that glorifies You
Isaiah 54:13
My Little Piece Of Heaven
She’s my little piece of heaven
Smiling back at me
She’s my little piece of heaven
For all the world to see
I watched her come into this world
And I saw her take her first breath
I watched her open her beautiful eyes
And I saw her clench her tiny fist
I marvelled at her first walk
And test the world with a fingers touch
I stood in amazement at her first words
Said with a smile upon her tiny face
Now she growing up
Ten years passes so, so quickly
And I was there in the water
As You my Lord washed her clean
That was the gift You bestowed upon me
Wherever this walk of mine may take me
Through the years still to come
I’ll love her so everyday
And I thank you Lord for her life
She’ll always be my little piece of heaven
Smiling back at me
She’ll always be my little piece of heaven
For all the world to see
Innocence Lost
When did we grow so old
Our innocence lost
Where did we lose our child like spirit
To see the earth through innocent eyes
Do we see only problems
Never to be the answer
Or will we throw our hearts
Into the all before us
Can we be called His children
When our hearts think so old
Can we start to learn
Like the child we lead
How can we grow our child like spirit
So we can be called Children of God
In Your Word (Isaiah 54:13)
Lord, You lead my way
Leading me from darkness
To Your glorious light
On Your words I set my life
In my heart I let them grow
Lord, I am so blessed
With a glorious gift
My children I live for
In the dark a reason to live
Two blessed souls that I watch grow
Lord, let me lead them
Through life in Your word
On a path we walk together
In Your ways we will learn
And together in Your love we will grow
Isaiah 54:13
