WALKING IN GOD'S LOVE
WALKING TALL
ALTHOUGH YOUR STATURE BE SMALL
YOU ARE ABLE TO WALK TALL
AMID THE GIANTS OF THE LAND
WHEN WITH GOD YOU WALK HAND IN HAND
THERE ISN'T A MOUNTAIN TOO TALL
IF ON GOD YOU WILL CALL
SO STOP LONG ENOUGH TO PRAY
AND LET GOD LEAD THE WAY
BEFORE TROUBLE REARS ITS HEAD
ALLOW YOUR SOUL TO BE FED
TAKE TIME TO READ GOD'S WORD
AND SAIL ON WINGS OF THE GRAY SPECKLED BIRD

VISION
I SAW A BRIGHT, BRIGHT LIGHT
AS I LAY IN MY BED ONE NIGHT
I WENT TO SEE WHAT I COULD SEE
WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE
IT WAS SO BRIGHT AND FAIR
AS I STOOD BY MY WINDOW THERE
AMID THE LIGHT WAS A SMILING FACE
OF THE ONE WHO SAVED ME BY HIS GRACE
OH! LORD I TRULY THANK THEE
THAT YOU SHOULD CHOOSE ME
I AM SO UNWORTHY YOU KNOW
FOR THE GREAT LOVE YOU SHOW
THAT JESUS SHOULD SHED HIS BLOOD
TO PROVIDE THE CLEANSING FLOOD
THAT WASHED MY GARMENTS WHITE
AND MADE MY PATHWAY SO LIGHT
THE SUN IS SINKING LOW
AS CLOSER TO HOME I GO
AND THEN A DAY BREAKS NEW
LORD! I AM SAFELY AT HOME WITH YOU
THE VISITOR
I HEAR A TAPPING AT MY HEART'S DOOR
A SOUND I HAVE HEARD OFTEN BEFORE
I WAS FILLED WITH MUCH ANTICIPATION
AND FELT SUCH A GREAT EXPECTATION
I SMOOTHED MY GARMENTS WITH CARE
FOR I KNEW WHO WAS WAITING THERE
SO TO THE DOOR I DID RUN
IT WAS GOD'S OWN BEGOTTEN SON
I MET HIM WITH A WELCOME SMILE
HE SAID I'VE COME TO VISIT A WHILE
LATER HE SLIPPED QUIETLY OUT
AND LEFT ME WITH SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
I MUST STAY CLEAN AND FREE FROM SIN
TO BE READY FOR HIM TO COME AGAIN
THE LORD'S RETURNING
THERE IS A TIME COMING SOON
WILL IT BE EVENING, MORNING OR NOON
WHEN THE LORD SHALL COME AGAIN
AND THE ENDLESS AGES SHALL BEGIN
WILL YOUR LAMPS BE TRIMMED AND BURNING
FOR THE LORD'S GREAT RETURNING
HE'LL COME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT
WITHOUT WARNING YOU MUST KEEP RIGHT
YOU SHOULD MAKE A DECISION NOW
TO FOLLOW THE WAY OF HIS PLAN
THAT LEADS TO THE PROMISED LAND
THE CLIMB
I CLIMBED A MOUNTAIN TODAY AND WISHED YOU WERE THERE
THE BEAUTY SO GREAT, I COULD ONLY SIT AND STARE
I BEGAN TO WONDER, DID I DO THIS ALONE? NO,
OF COURSE NOT YOU WERE THERE ALL ALONG.
THE ROCK IN MY PATH. YOU HELPED ME MOVE;
WHEN I CLIMDED IN DOUBT YOU PULLED ME THROUGH.
YOU TAUGHT ME I CAN DO ANYTHING WITH FAITH IN MY HEART
FOR I DID CROSS THAT RIVER,YOU KNEW I WOULD FROM THE START
YOU'VE TRUELY TOUCHED MY HEART,BROUGHT SUCH JOY IN MY LIFE
AND YOUR ALWAYS THERE TO HELP ME OVER COME MY SRTIFE.
WHEN NIGHTS WERE COLD AND MY SPIRITS WERE TIRED
YOU SPARKED MY FAITH AND WE REKINDLED THE FIRE.
WHEN I CAN'T SLEEP,DREAMS SEEM TO FAR AWAY,WE LOOKED
PASS THE DARKNESS-YOU SHOWED ME THE STARS.
AFTER A LONG DAYS CLIMB WHEN I'D GIVEN MY ALL,I LONGED
WITH THIRST-YOU SHOWED ME THE WATERFALLS.
WHEN I STOOD ON THE EDGE. PETRIFIED WITH FEAR,YOU
REACHED OUT YOUR HAND-REMINDING QUEST WAS NEAR.
YOU NEVER LET ME FALL, YOU LOOKED TO THE SKIES, AND
LED ME EVEN HIGHER TO WHERE THE EAGLES FLIES.
NOW I SIT AND PONDER WHERE HAVE YOU GONE? THEN LOOKING
UP I SEE THE RANGE STRECHING IN.
REALIZATION STRIKES, PANIC SETS IN, YOU'RE NOT BY
MY SIDE HOW WILL I EVER WIN?
AS I SCAN THE HORIZON, I SEE WHERE YOU STAND-PATIENTLY
WAITING FOR ME ATOP THE NEXT MOUNTAIN.
