God Leads Us Along

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

God reminds the Israelites of how He met their needs. 

— Crossing The Red Sea – Ex. 14

— Crossing of the Jordan – Deut. 4

— Walking through the fire – Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – Daniel 3.

As you face the storms, walk through the valleys, or endure the dark nights of life, remember that He is the same God now as He was then and He will never fail you. Phil. 4:19; Matt. 6:33; Psa. 37:25.

 

God Leads Us Along

____________________

In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet,    —    God leads His dear children along;    —    Where the water’s cool flow bathes the weary one’s feet,    —    God leads His dear children along.

CHORUS:

Some through the waters, some through the flood,    —    Some through the fire, but all through the blood;    —    Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,    —    In the night season and all the day long.

Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright,    —    God leads His dear children along;    —    Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night,    —    God leads His dear children along. - - -

Though sorrows befall us and Satan oppose,    —    God leads His dear children along;    —    Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes,    —    God leads His dear children along. - - -

Away from the mire, and away from the clay,    —    God leads His dear children along;    —    Away up in glory, eternity’s day,    —    God leads His dear children along. - - -

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

If we want to walk closer to God we must turn loose of worldly things and set our hearts and minds upon Him. Matt. 6:24.

Just a Closer Walk With Thee

________________________________

I am weak, but Thou art strong; — Jesus, keep me from all wrong; — I’ll be satisfied as long   —   As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.

CHORUS:

Just a closer walk with Thee,   —   Grant it, Jesus, is my plea.   —   Daily walking close to Thee,   —   Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares,   —   If I falter, Lord, who cares?   —   Who with me my burden shares?   —   None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee. - - -

When my feeble life is o’er,   —   Time for me will be no more;   —   Guide me gently, safely o’er   —   To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.

I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

We may call it Heaven right now, but one day we will call it home. 

Consider the wonders of that city — God wiping our tears away. Wow!

No more death or sorrow or pain. 

I’m looking forward to going home.  I’m really homesick. 

I’ve Never Been This Homesick Before

________________________________

There's a light in the window    —   The table's spread in splendor;    —   Someone's standing by the open door.  — I can see a crystal river. — I must be near forever.  — See, I've never been this homesick before.

CHORUS:

See the bright light shine,    —   It's just about home time.    —   I can see my Father standing at the door.    —   This world has been a wilderness.    —   I'm ready for deliverance.    —   Lord, I've never been this homesick before.

I can see the family gather,    —   Sweet faces all familiar,    —   And no one's old or feeble anymore. —   My lonesome heart is cryin'. — Think I'll spread my wings for flyin'. — Lord, I've never been this homesick before. - - -

God Will Take Care of You

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

We are told to give all our burden to Jesus, not keeping any to ourselves.

We can do this with absolute confidence that He cares for us, Heb. 4:15. 

Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

God Will Take Care of You

________________________

Be not dismayed whate’er betide,  —  God will take care of you; — Beneath His wings of love abide,    —    God will take care of you.

CHORUS:

God will take care of you,  —  Through every day, o’er all the way;  —  He will take care of you,    —    God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,    —    God will take care of you;    —    When dangers fierce your path assail,    —    God will take care of you. - - -

All you may need He will provide, — God will take care of you; — Nothing you ask will be denied,    —    God will take care of you. - - -

No matter what may be the test,  —  God will take care of you;  —  Lean, weary one, upon His breast,    —    God will take care of you. - - -
