HE'LL TURN THE PAGES BACK ON TIME

Dear child that I do love so much
Hear clearly as your heart I touch
Not only do I see and care
But all that's damaged I'll repair

Come to me child on bended knee
And all your feelings tell to me
Start long ago and tell me all
Each painful thing to me recall

Speak to your Father loud and clear
For I'll not tell, I'll only hear
Then when you've cleaned all from your mind
I'll turn the pages back on time

I'll help you see, I'll help you know
You'll feel my presence where you go
I'll speak to you in many ways
I'll comfort you through every day

I'll lead you up to present time
And gently you'll know you are mine
I'll show you Love so clean and pure
'Til in your mind you will be sure

Decisions must be made by you
But I'll be there to help you through
The evil one had set his snare
He should have known that Id' be there

I'll bring you through these troubled times
For I love you and you are mine
When on that day your name I call
You'll realize, 'twas worth it all

TO EVERYTHING A SEASON

Sometimes when hurt wraps all around
And breaking heart's the only sound
We need great arms to run into
Someone who's wise, Someone who's true

There's One, of troubles He's aware
The Author of each heartfelt prayer
Creator of the universe
Now comes to you through simple verse

He draws you oh so very close
And tells you He cares best and most
To Truth He gently points the way
Please hear these words and what they say

To everything a season
Time to laugh and time to cry
A time to dance and time to mourn
To be born, a time to die

A time to love straight from the heart
Child, this type love will not depart
Romance does hinge to passion's door
But life will teach you there's much more

If you will bend knees to the ground
He then will turn your world around
He'll show how love was meant to be
A deeper love, so whole and free

He says, "I love for you are mine
I'll be with you throughout all time
And when your song can find no rhyme
I'll touch your heart that it may chime"

Yes, to everything a season
Seasons come and seasons go
But listen to me carefully
So this you'll surely know

You've a purpose on this earth
God placed you carefully
'Twas not by accident your life
So be all that you can be

You may feel insignificant
Too small, the world to reach
But God knows every grain of sand
Compiled to make the beach

In His body, you're unique
Like hand and eye and ear
No more less important
Than the great names that you hear

So walk in Love and beauty
Through the storms and in the sun
And when your season ends dear child
He'll smile and say, "WELL DONE!"

Math. 11:28

Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden
and I will give you rest.

Luke 17:1

It is impossible but that offenses will come:
but woe unto him through whom they come.
It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck
and he be cast into the sea
than that he should offend one of these little ones.
