My mom

In her life, she lived in God's fear,
in her death, to Him, she brought me near.
In her life, she found solace in tears,
in death, went home, to her Dear.

A young girl, longing for love and embrace,
in return, did she receive, hurt and pain.
through it all, never, did she complain,
in death, all, she forgave.

In her suffering, like sheep, she was silent,
never ever, became she, violent.
Soft spoken, could hardly hear her speak,
Bible, to her close, she would, ever keep.

No relief, no respite, no comfort or escape,
yet to Jesus, she clung, in Psalms and prayer.
A life, not worth life at all,
yet to Jesus, she said, 'Lord, I come, You are all.'

Remember

When the storm seems to be brewing up,

When winds threaten to blow away everything,
When the waters rise higher and higher,
Remember, Jesus will carry you through.

When your love walks away,
And your loved ones leave you all alone,
When tears flow down your cheek,
Remember, Jesus will walk right beside you.

When you find yourself stranded,
And help seems to be far away,
When fear and hopelessness assails you,
Remember, Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you.

When you find yourself deep down in your own pit,
And you are hurt, in pain, sorrow and grief,
When life seems vanity and suicide seems the answer,
Remember Jesus, His faithfulness lasts forever.

When the guilt becomes overwhelming,
And all your efforts have turned futile,
When you find yourself unworthy to be forgiven,
Remember, Jesus died and now lives to forgive.
