"Close" = / At times my Lord is so very close / Him and I in tune as one / Fellowship so dear, love so pure / My Lord and me are of one accord / / I give Him praise, He gives me peace / Jesus it seems is just my Lord / For me and me alone He died / My personal Savior I know He is / / But this I know, He is not just my Jesus / He is the Savior of the entire world / Anyone can make Him Lord / If they seek they too can find / / This fellowship so dear, love so pure / Forgive me God I know I am wrong / Nevertheless, sometimes it seems to me / He is my Jesus, mine alone / / About me, everything He knows / My secret thoughts, all my dreams / He sees me as I truly am / And yet He still loves me / / So very personal He is to me / Sometimes it seems that He is just mine / / -- Frank Burton

-- Romans 15:4-6 = 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, 6 so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
-- Colssians 1:3-6 = 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints -- 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of Truth, the Gospel 6 that has come to you.

"What a Friend We Have in Jesus" = / 1. What a friend we have in Jesus, / All our sins and griefs to bear! / What a privilege to carry / Everything to God in prayer! / O what peace we often forfeit, / O what needless pain we bear, / All because we do not carry / Everything to God in prayer. / / 2. Have we trials and temptations? / Is there trouble anywhere? / We should never be discouraged; / Take it to the Lord in prayer. / Can we find a friend so faithful / Who will all our sorrows share? / Jesus knows our every weakness; / Take it to the Lord in prayer. / / 3. Are we weak and heavy laden, / Cumbered with a load of care? / Precious Savior, still our refuge; / Take it to the Lord in prayer. / Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? / Take it to the Lord in prayer! / In His arms He'll take and shield thee; / Thou wilt find a solace there. / / -- Charles C. Converse, 1832-1918
