Only a Servant...

"A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.

Humility...

"Too big for God to use me!
This is the reason why
Poor longing souls are famished
Who come, and go, and die!
O God, my Savior help me,
In deep humility
To make a full surrender
Henceforth to own but Thee.

Too big for God to use me!
But if I am possessed
With unction through His Spirit,
Then shall my work be blessed,
I'll count my work as nothing,
Seek Christ to magnify,
And use my gifts in service
My Lord to glorify."

“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
—Isaiah 57:15

Jesus Knows...



My Jesus knows when I am lonely
He knows each pain, He sees each tear
He understands each lonely heartache
He understands because He cares


My Jesus knows just what I need
Oh yes! He knows just what I need
He satisfies and every need supplies
Yes, He knows just what I need


My Jesus knows when I am burdened
He knows how much my heart can bear
He lifts me up when I am sinking
And brings me joy beyond compare

When other friends seem to forget me
When skies are dark, when hope is gone
By faith I feel His arms around me
And hear Him say, "You're not alone"
