I thought I could find my
completeness in other people.
Now I know I'm only whole
in You.
Your love in my life
makes me complete
and that is something I
will never find
anywhere
but in You.
Help me to remember that,
Lord,
when the temptation comes
to look at people
for my identity
and worth.
You alone are the source
of my being
and when I am complete
in You
I am free to be myself.




Our God is a God
Who sees and feels and cares
about our lives.
He feels the pain
we feel
and shares in our sorrows
as no one else can.
He mourns with us
and sheds a tear
for every tear we cry.
Our grief
is not unknown to Him,
our agony is not a stranger.
Our God loves us so much
He sent His only Son
to bear a cruel and agonizing
death on a cross,
so He could share in our pain
and bring healing and hope
to our shattered lives.




How amazing You are!
Your answers always come
Just when we need them most.
Your loving smile
beams down upon us,
and You delight in our growth.
Just as the sun
shines down upon the flowers,
so Your grace
covers us completely.
Thank You, Lord,
for Your lovingkindness
and the tenderness
of Your heart
that reaches us
no matter where we are.




Praise to our God,
Who is so faithful
to lead us out
of the desert
and into the
Eden of His presence.
It's only in You, Lord
that we find our joy
and happiness.
It wells out of my soul
with a bubbling song
and I can't contain it.
Lord, let me be an offering
of praise and worship
for You alone,
for I desire no other.
