I admit that there are times
That I am tempted to despair.
Then God speaks in all His mercy
To let me know He’s there.

He took care of yesterday for me.
Tomorrow is in His care.
Today He will walk beside me
In answer to my prayer.

He brings constant joy and comfort
To ease my concerns away.
I could not go on without Him
To be my companion through each day.

I would just like to remind you
To lean hard upon His breast.
Release each trial to Him.
Wait for Him to do the rest.

Humble like a Sunday afternoon,
Smiling as the hours bloom;
Sweetie, you are lovely indeed,
A creation of woman, God made complete.

Righteous once you have awaken,
Testimony with trouble you’ve undertaken…

To witness you pray yourself asleep
Is a blessing beyond any other feat…

It’s-
The Christian in you
That makes you so sexy,
Every time I am with you
I praise God for he’s blessed me.

The Christian in you.

With a click and a clack
And a great big pack,
Down through the chimney,
Pretty nimbly
Somebody comes on Christmas eve!

If we are real nice
And as still as mice,
If we never peep,
And are sound asleep,
He’ll fill our stockings, I do believe!

And when we arise
Next day our eyes
Will grow big to see
How perfectly
He knew what we all wished to receive!

No California Christmas could compare
to where the snow might drift down everywhere
the sun, in more grinchish ways than one
Leaves my snowy landscapes earthly bare.
Christmas in California is my prayer.

I live alone, and celebrate in soul
where Christmas days are crowded, white and wonderful.

He created the day and the night
He created the moon and the stars that shine so bright
Sat on the cross with nails everywhere
God didnt say nothing,he tried to bare

We should thank him every minute of everyday
For the price that God decided to pay
He died for us so we should respect
It is God who we never should neglect

God will once come again to gather the others
Sons and daughters, fathers and mothers
The people who respected him and went his way
Those people will go to heaven on that special day

Merry Christmas, Sweetheart
with you is where I want to be
Yet it seems our lives are complicated
for I am the one not free,

Yet the very best present
is the gift of one’s self
I have given you a part of me
that has never belonged to anyone else.

So we can’t be together this Christmas
yet our souls are not apart
for I have given you the best part of me
I have given you my heart.

Moonless darkness stands between.
Past, the Past, no more be seen!
But the Bethlehem-star may lead me
To the sight of Him Who freed me
From the self that I have been.
Make me pure, Lord: Thou art holy;
Make me meek, Lord: Thou wert lowly;
Now beginning, and alway:
Now begin, on Christmas day.
