Life is a gift, although sometimes it feels like a troublesome gift.  When we realize we do not need to go it alone, there is a certain joy and assurance our Lord is at our side.  He is also our strength inside.  It is very possible with the Holy Spirit’s help to give thanks and sing His praises no matter what we face.

He Rides the Waves with Me

I walk with God in the light of the living,
Ever on the forever path; singing, loving and forgiving.
Each day has been prepared as a gift bestowed;
A time to share life, with the One that my life holds.
As we travel, when trouble and trials comes,
I entrust each moment in the hands of the most trustworthy One.
He is stronger than the wind that blows its icy breath.
He has already conquered the dreaded threat of death.
My God is able to calm the troubled sea,
Or He is willing to ride the waves with me.
With His Word He speaks to the enemy of my soul.
With His Word on my lips He is in control.
I walk with God toward the place I call home.
He assures all who believes need never walk alone.
We walk so close sometimes we use the same steps.
He will carry me through heaven’s door as His bride the closer we get.

Joshua 1:9
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
