Lord, sometimes I give all I have left to give
Sometimes I run dry so that others might live
Sometimes I think You have left me alone
Sometimes I wish You would just call me home
At times I grow tired, yet I want to obey
Sometimes I cant hear all Youre trying to say
But I'll go where You lead -- do what You say to do
And when I run dry, I will cry out to You
O Lord I need a shoulder to cry on
A heart to share the pain
A hand to hold -- a friend to rely on
A cool refreshing rain
My God to bear this cross that I die on
To cleanse what cant remain
My Fathers precious shoulder to lie on
A love that can sustain an endless rain
I would have given up quite a long time ago
If not for the grace and the love You have shown
For yesterdays gone -- tomorrow I cannot know
But I will live for today in the light that You show
Lord sing Your song, in the night lead me through
The morning will come bringing joy like the dew
Your voice, like the dawn, is a warm welcome view
Making life worth this darkness, for it drives me to You
O Lord I need a shoulder to cry on
A heart to share the pain
A hand to hold -- a friend to rely on
A cool refreshing rain
My God to bear this cross that I die on
To cleanse what cant remain
My Fathers precious shoulder to lie on
A love that can sustain an endless rain
I will press on toward the goal
For the prize
Of my lifes highest calling --
My Lord Jesus Christ
And I will fix my eyes on You
Draw close to Your side
For in the desert Youre water
In the darkness Youre light
O Lord I need a shoulder to cry on
A heart to share the pain
A hand to hold -- a friend to rely on
A cool refreshing rain
My God to bear this cross that I die on
To cleanse what cant remain
My Fathers precious shoulder to lie on
A love that can sustain an endless rain

A Shoulder to Cry On, from The Worshipers Collection, Volume 2
You are strength when Im weary You are hope when visions die You are there just to hold me When I dont understand why
When the hurt grows so painful That the darkness seems to cover the light When the pain seems unending You are grace through the night
You are grace through the night When I grow tired of running the race And Im too weak to fight You are faithful to hold me When I just want to die You are grace through the night
When the clouds cover heaven And I cannot see the stars in the sky Sometimes I cant help but feeling Like I will not live to see morning light
But You always come singing Walk by faith, precious child, not by sight! Hope in Me and just keep clinging To My grace theough the night.
You are grace through the night When I grow tired of running the race And Im too weak to fight You are faithful to hold me When I just want to die You are grace through the night
Something about the night Just makes it easier to see Your face Lord, easier to see Your precious light Easier to see that I need Your grace
You are grace through the night When I cant see or dont understand All the sorrows of life You are joy in my sorrow You are hope, You are light You are grace through the night
Dennis Jernigan Grace Through the Night on Help Me to Remember
When the fire of life leaves you so dry That your eyes have no tears left to cry When heartache leaves you wondering why Wondering how you will survive
And when youve grown too tired to run the race Or find your strength is gone without a trace When youve reached that lonely, desperate place You have reached the point of grace
And I will meet you there where your striving ends I will hold you there in My embrace And you will find the place where true joy begins When youve reached the point of grace
When your hopes and dreams begin to fade Disappointment clouding all the plans youve made Feeling lonely, broken, and afraid It seems so long since you have seen the light of day
And when it seems like every trial you face Just leaves you one step closer to the place Where you fall away or reach for My embrace Child you have reached the point of grace
And I will meet you there where your striving ends I will hold you there in My embrace And you will find the place where true joy begins When youve reached the point of grace
Just let go and you will see Just how mighty love can be Child, your greatest strength is when youre weak Looking up from your brokenness to Me
And I will meet you there where your striving ends I will hold you there in My embrace And you will find the place where true joy begins When youve reached the point of grace
I know what you've been feeling I've seen you hide your tears Embarrassed by your weaknesses Afraid to let Me near
I wish you knew how much I longed For you to understand That no matter what may happen, child I'll never let go of your hand
I know you feel forsaken By all you've known before When you've failed their expectations They frowned and closed the door
But even if your heart itself Should lose the will to stand No matter what may happen child I'll never let go of your hand
For the life that I have given you No one can take away I've sealed it with My Spirit, Blood and Word And the Everlasting Father Has made His covenant with you And He's stronger than this world you've seen and heard
So don't you fear to show them All the love I have for you And I'll be with you everywhere In everything you do
And even if you do it wrong And miss the joy I've planned No matter what may happen, child I'll never let go of your hand
Let these praises fall upon Your ears That You might feel our hearts in what You hear There are not enough songs to sing Your praise
You are glorious beyond You are wonderful beyond Anything we could sing to You You are beautiful beyond Youre a treasure thats beyond Any our hearts have ever held
All our words and all our melodies All fall short of glory yet unseen Open up our eyes, reveal Your majesty
You are glorious beyond You are wonderful beyond Anything we could sing to You You are beautiful beyond Youre a treasure thats beyond Any our hearts have ever held
I will bow before the wonder I will bow before the mystery I will bow before the wonder I will bow before the mystery
You are glorious beyond You are wonderful beyond Anything we could sing to You You are beautiful beyond Youre a treasure thats beyond Any our hearts have ever held
Faithful King Faithful Friend Faithful Love that knows no end How I long to rest in You Faithful and True
Faithful and True When I need a hand to hold me I just lift my hands to You For Youre so Faithful and True Lord I need Your hand to hold me So I lift my hands to You Faithful and True
Faithful Lord Faithful Guide Faithful Rock where I hide How I long to hide in You Faithful and True
Then
I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The One sitting on it
is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes
war. Revelation 19:11
Be still, my soul -- the Lord is on thy side Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain Leave to thy God to order and provide In ev'ry change He faithful will remain Be still, my soul -- thy best, thy heav'nly Friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul -- thy God doth undertake To guide the future as He has the past Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake All now mysterious shall be bright at last Be still, my soul -- the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul -- the hour is hast'ning on When we shall be forever with the Lord When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored Be still, my soul -- when change and tears are past All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Katharina von Schlegel, translated by Jane L. Borthwick Be Still, My Soul on Hymns II, Second Chapter of Acts
Remember Daniel in the lions den He was there for he would not bow to men Theres no doubt or denyin God shut up the mouth of the lion When He heard His servant cry
The Lord is my strength The Lord in His power is my strength Day by day and evry hour The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power is my strength
Day by day and evry hour Evry day and evry hour Evry day and evry hour
Remember Paul and Silas in the jail They rejoiced for they knew God would not fail Then along about midnight God delivered them by His great might When He heard His children cry
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power is my strength
Day by day and evry hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power is my strength
Day by day and evry hour
Evry day and evry hour
Evry day and evry hour
Remember we were all dead in our sin My sins were buried when Lord Jesus rose again When Satan comes like a flood Cry out to Him who shed His own blood That we might reign with Him on high
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power is my strength
Day by day and evry hour
The Lord is my strength
The Lord in His power is my strength
Day by day and evry hour
Evry day and evry hour
Evry day and evry hour
The Lord sent from on high He took me He drew me out of many waters
He rescued me from my strong enemy And from those who hated me For they were too mighty for me They confronted me in the day of my calamity But the Lord was my support
He brought me out into a broad place He rescued me Because He delighted in me.
I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.
I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Who is the man who desires life, And loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; Not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked, And those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. The LORD redeems the soul of His servants, And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
When stormy weather comes against me ravaging my heart Some storms seem so long they never cease When stormy weather comes against me, take me where You are In Your arms a constant state of peace
You will be my Shelter A place where I can run A Rock! A sure Foundation That cannot be overcome You will be my Refuge A place where I can go A Rock that will surround me When the winds begin to blow
When the winds blow and the waves crash all around me You are like an island in the middle of the sea When the winds blow, stormy waves about to drown me You will come surrounding with a refuge of peace
You will be my Fortress A place where I can hide A strong and mighty Warrior Who will never leave my side You will be my Father My heart will be Your home A Rock that can't be shaken When the winds begin to blow
When everything around me seems to fall into the sea Crushed by waves that beat incessantly When everything Ive trusted in just falls away from me In Your arms I find security
Dont lose heart faithful one Father is watching you - theres no need to run Dont give in, for the Victor has come Dont lose heart
Dont lose heart, for you have a Friend A faithful companion who is true to the end Dont give up for your life Ill defend Dont lose heart
Oh, this life may seem hard for a season But I will be with you each step of the way So let these heartaches and trials serve their reason To help you depend on Me more each day Dont lose heart, for I am the Way Dont lose heart
Dont lose heart when death comes in Life so abundantly awaits you, My friend Lay down your life, for in losing, you win Dont lose heart
Dont lose heart in doing My will The way of the cross is a dark, lonely hill But your load I'll carry, just rest and be still Dont lose heart
Oh, this life may seem hard for a
season But I will be with you each step of the way
So let these heartaches and trials serve their reason
To help you depend on Me more each day Dont lose
heart, for I am the Way Dont lose heart
For the day will come when I'll hold you And put an end to every trial So let My love now enfold you My precious little holy child Holding you is worth every mile So dont lose heart
Some would say that You cannot be found Some would say that You are far away But I know Youre the God who lives in me And I know You will always have my heart
You are good, and Your love endures forever You are good, and Your love endures forever You are good, and Your love endures forever You are good
You are the only One You are the One that I desire You are the only One, my King
Now turn from your sins And turn to God So you can be cleansed of your sins Then wonderful times of refreshment Will come from the presence of the Lord And He will send Jesus Your Messiah To you again.
I cried out to God with my voice To God with my voice And He gave ear to me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord My hand was stretched out In the night without ceasing.
My soul refused to be comforted I remembered God, and was troubled I complained And my spirit was overwhelmed You hold my eyelids open I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
The reason of my mind
I have considered The days of old The years of ancient times.
I call to remembrance My song in the night I meditate within my heart And my spirit makes diligent search.
Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more? Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?
The praise of my lips
In my anguish I will remember the years Of the right hand of the Most High.
I will remember the works of the LORD Surely I will remember Your wonders of old I will also meditate on all Your work And talk of Your deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy What god is great like our God? You are the God who works wonders You have made known Your might among the peoples You with Your arm redeemed Your people The children of Jacob and Joseph.

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
