My God heals the sick,
Uplifts the defeated
And makes broken hearts whole again.
My God is an awesome God.
He comforts me when I need a friend,
Soothes my spirit when I need peace.
He protects me from my enemies.
My God is an awesome God.
My God is a God of action;
His words created the universe
And everything in it.
He knows my every thought,
He bottles every tear I shed.
My God is an awesome God.
My God counts the stars
And calls them by name.
My God can move mountains
And calm the stormy seas.
My God is an awesome God.
My God knows everything,
Sees everything;
His presence is everywhere.
My God is an awesome God.
My God is merciful and kind,
His love is everlasting,
His understanding is infinite,
His grace is sufficient.
My God is an awesome God. Submitted by S.L. Atkins The Round Ball of Fire
One night I was riding my horse
I saw a big ball of fire,
It was falling from the sky.
Oh, how wonderful is God's creation. Submitted by Trinity and Buster Desselles FAITH
Faith is needed all along the way,
Faith to toil and faith to pray.
Faith to learn and faith to teach,
Faith to practice and faith to preach.
Faith to start each day anew,
Faith to see our faults too.
Faith to see when we are wrong,
Faith to be strong.
Faith to smile, though sad within,
Faith to tell every sin.
Faith to ask Him for His care,
Faith to take Him everywhere.
Faith to cover every sigh,
Faith to live and faith to die. by Katrina Edwards
