"Jesus Is My Everything" =
/
Jesus is my Helper, my Hope, Lord and King, /
He is Joy, Provider, and every day the same; /
To Him I lift up my voice and sing, /
While every foe trembles at His name. /
/
There is Power in the name of Jesus, /
I am so thankful He is mine; /
There is none else, but only Jesus, /
His name is precious, Blessed, Pure, Divine. /
/
He is Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End, /
The Son of God, the Vine, Holy, Saviour, Love; /
Prince of Peace, Physician, High Priest, Friend, /
Lamb of God, the Light, our Messiah above. /
/
He is the Cornerstone, Master, Bread of Life, /
My Guide, Healer, Shepherd, Strong Tower; /
He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, /
In Him is Victory, Salvation and Power. /
/
He Loves me; I Worship and Adore Him, /
He suffered, gave His Blood, died and Arose for us; /
I Praise Him, Glorify Him...He is the Great I Am, /
I Believe His Word, His Blood, His Name...Jesus! /
He is all of these and more. /
/

12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our Faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God
"Life Is Good" =
/
Oh, life is good and it's so grand, /
Since I walked away from sin; /
The devil is troubled and trembles, /
I'll never turn to his way again. /
/
I'm having the time of my life, /
Each day I walk with the King; /
I've turned my back on the devil, /
It's Jesus now...His praises to sing. /
/
The Bible says Jesus Loves me, /
I believe and know it is true; /
He is Alive and is coming soon, /
Friend...I Hope you know Him too. /
/
There's no other way to Heaven, /
Unless we walk with Jesus our King; /
Let's walk together and be blessed, /
Praise Him while the Angels sing. /
/
Oh, I'm having such a great time, /
God cares about me in many ways; /
He guards every step I will take, /
I Love Him and give Him all my praise. /
/
Yes, I'm having the time of my life, /
Some friends cannot yet understand; /
God's Plan is for me to always obey, /
It's a Joy to walk and hold His hand. /

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. /
+ 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
+ 27 Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

-- Romans 8:28 =
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who Love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
"Leave Regrets Behind" =
/
While we travel this journey of life, /
Things may not always go as we planned; /
Problems arise and tend to stir up strife, /
We must pray and hold to God's hand. /
/
Trials and sufferings come and then go, /
Sometimes things said are not always kind; /
Sadness may come and cause tears to flow, /
We must leave all sad regrets behind. /
/
Our Loved ones may try to help us, /
Our friends may not always understand; /
The Best Friend we'll ever have is Jesus, /
He is always with us to hold our hand. /
/
Our journey in life may become dim, /
Problems so often arise to torment the mind; /
The Blood of Jesus covers all our sin, /
Leaving all our sad regrets behind. /
/
Forgive to be Forgiven...be humble and pray, /
Don't dwell on sad things that are past; /
This life is quite brief and then some day, /
Only things done for Jesus will forever last. /
/
Things will not always be as they are now, /
The time will come when we will find; /
At the pierced feet of Jesus we shall bow, /
Then gladly...we'll leave all sad regrets behind. /

29 Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”
-- Philippians 3:13-14 =
13 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
+ In Christ, the hopeless find Hope.
+ Without God the End is hopeless /
But with God there is endless Hope.
+ Life without Christ is a hopeless end. /
Life with Christ is endless Hope.
+ With one tiny step of Faith by man /
and one giant leap of Grace by God, /
man and God are Reconciled.

Remember what He said. "Walk by faith, not by sight."
+ Faith is the ability to hold on to the promise until the Answer comes.
