Yes

Pull from my heart oh arrow of life And move to that place of distress Flying mightily to go My souls deep shadow impress And let His Spirit come quickly His Hands this pain caress Change these dark clothes of sin With white replace me to dress That before Him I can bow To give all honor nothing less Because when to Him I came My sins I must confess When to leave for my long home Eternal life I shall possess To all who the same will do His promises not no but yes

You Can't Borrow My Chair

I heard a knock upon my door Not at an hour for there was no time No such things as darkness anymore For all God gave now was mine And in these things He freely gave Yet these I laid up myself For in my works He did save And kept on my private shelf To be placed in a home of rest Given me by God’s only Son Yes in life I tried my best Now for me a life crown won So don’t come knocking on my door If in this life you didn’t care Enough to share His love more And find yourself without a chair So when you walk through Heaven’s gate And find you have no furniture there No place to sit or dinner plate Don’t ask you can’t borrow my chair

You Didn't Hear Me Pray

I’ve loved you more than you can know While growing through the years Laughter that you never saw Days covered with hidden tears Time will never take away Those things of you I know My heart open wide for you And this I’ll always show Your life has meant so much to me It seems a part my own Remain with me a place for you When times have come and gone I gave you to the Lord above For in His Hands I trust That He Himself will care for you When separate ways we must So dear child I must inform These words I gladly say I gave all your all to Him Though you didn’t hear me pray

You Didn't Think I Saw You

I was standing there watching you all along. I knew you were hurting because I saw you crying. When harmful words were spoken by a friend and your loved one passed on to me broke your heart I was standing there with my arms open. I desired to hold you and take that pain away. You didn’t think anyone understood but I knew what you were feeling. You didn’t think I saw you, but I was there. I whispered your name and you turned to me. You called me Father and were so glad I was there. Now isn’t that so much better I said as you fell into a peaceful sleep. I always see you.

You Made Me Feel Welcome

Was just a simple word you said That made me feel that way You said it and I knew You meant what you had to say You didn’t know in my heart Were things not so good But when you spoke to me It was as though you understood Yes at a time I felt alone Those thoughts upon me bare That walking down this street Where people didn’t care A twinkle in your eye I saw As you spoke to me A stranger was I you’d never seen Yet as friends of old were we Surely you were sent from God This one thing I truly know You made me feel welcome When you said hello

Young Hearts

I was glad I stopped to hear The words in that song Was a memory brought once again It seemed forgotten so long I think to recall what was then When first those words I heard Calling again my memory To your face my heart now referred I stand and feel what was before Life had brought me to here Those words drawing my mind To one I held so dear A smile and calm comes over me Was good the things we had When life was so younger then The days our hearts were glad Yes I hope to pass here again When this love song was sung Oh was just for us it seemed When our hearts were young

Your Name is Waiting

What I said to him that stood Close by to hear my voice To know the truth look in the book And do this is your choice For in this book are all names Of people great and small And from the dawning of mankind This book had room for all Yet I find those who shun And never understand That their name was written down By Christ the Lords own hand But we find that one must look To see what God has done To know that he has written within The names of everyone It is sad when a name has left Blotted out because of what was done When we leave this world without Christ Then our name from the book is gone

Your Will

I see the bridge I saw before To it I did return And go again to the Garden of Tears It’s crossing I shall not spurn My heart has brought me once again For on it troubles did fall Then recalled from times before The place from which I call The Garden of Hope to Bow and pray And find His Grace to fill The longing that these troubles bring To search and find His Will As crossing now this bridge begins A feeling I can’t explain To know that I shall stand before My Lord and God once again Yes I know I’ll surely stand Though upon my knees I bow Oh Father not my will be done But to me your will endow

Your Words Today

Talk to me I need to hear Words of Love from You Nothing can fill my soul The way You speak can do Say how You came and died Upon a cross for me How I can find your peace From sin to be set free Whisper sweet words of comfort That only I know you can To cover my days of sorrow And hold my heart again Though my body’s sick Your Word alone can heal And to flow inside my heart To know the things I feel Now my ears and heart respond To things You have to say No matter what life may bring I need Your Words today
