My Faith, Hope and Trust is in God Alone
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob





Hold my hand, reach out to me, and remember where I stand.
Longing once again for the Promise Land-



My strength it is but small.
But my Saviour will catch me as I've into a snare began to fall.



My life it is not my own, bought with a price, all to Him I owe.
My heart filled with heartbreak, I look to the one I know.



My heart so wicked and vile, prideful and filled with deceit-
Once again, I plead for mercy, knowing I've an advocate who sits on the mercy seat.



Remembering that a child of God must stay the course, I cry out to God, as I know it is only by grace.
Only by grace are any of us saved, nearing fast the finish line, I pray for strength to win this race.



God alone is in whom I must trust, mankind so wicked and deceitful, each seeking their own.
Desiring a friend, oft I've mistakenly been found in the wrong home.



Desiring once again, to know God's will, I pray, seeking God's will, knowing that soon we'll hear the shout.
Seeing the lights growing ever dim, I know its imperative I take leave of sulking and pouting.



Trusting in God alone, knowing that my shield is faith.
Knowing He's holding me, I give this heavy burden away, knowing He is able.



Releasing my burden, I lift my eyes and see that even now my redemption draw ever near.
Believing and trusting in God alone. I've prayed yet once again for you my dear...



So many lost and dying knowing not the cost.
Help me dear Lord to remember if it were not but for your grace in another's place I'd reside, unfounded and lost.



Remind me of who I was that I not look down on those who know you not.
Hold my tongue in check, hold my anger that my sins do not prevail to smelly rot.



Remove from me the bitterness and pain that knocks on my door.
Help me oh, my Lord, and help me as I seek your will forever more.



Forgive those that would rejoice in my going.
Help me dear Lord to bring in many sheaves, as the night it is fast approaching.



Hold the light just a little longer, all are not in.
So many are wandering, lost, undone not knowing soon the night will envelope those who walk as the blind, ever running to error, not finding the truth that is contained within.



Dear God, I am weak but thou oh God are strong.
This battle it does not to me belong-



Another seeks yet again to devour and destroy.
So many mockers, why dear Lord, why, how long, how long?



Please God show your power once again. Take away this shame.
Help me to remember, help my faith as I cling to your name.



Thank you dear Lord, for holding me in the very palm of your hand-
Thank you Lord for your blessings on my, thank you Lord for taking my place upon the stand.



Paying what I could not pay.
Blessing you've given, love so strong, no words can ever say.



I love you Lord, you know my heart.
I've no strength of my own, you've known this even from the start.



The night is long spent, my eyes are tired. I will remember in whom I've trusted as I lay me down.
The day will soon shine once again. A fire it will soon bring rejoicing all over this town.



Revive us again, that is the song we sing, yet who has prayed?
Hold fast to what is true, knowing it is by God's grace alone we've not all strayed.



Pray, and remember another may need an encouraging word. Pray and know.
Salvation is sure, it is a message for which we've been told to share, it is the gospel of Christ for which we must go...
