 "What Ever Your Cross"

 

 

Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
There will always be sunshine after the rain.
Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall,
But God is always ready to answer your call.

 

He knows every heartache, sees every tear,
A word from His lips can calm every fear.
Your sorrows may linger throughout the night,
But suddenly vanish at dawn's early light.

 

The Savior is waiting somewhere above,
To give you His grace and send you His love.
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain,
God always sends rainbows after the rain.

 

 

"IF JESUS CAME TO YOUR HOUSE"

 

 

If Jesus came to your house,
I wonder what you'd do.
Yes, if Jesus came to your house,
to spend a day or two,

 

If He came unexpected,
..just dropped in on you.
I know you'd give your nicest room
..to such an honored guest,

 

And all the food you'd serve to Him
..would be the very best.
And you would keep assuring Him
..you're glad to have Him there,

 

That serving Him in your home
..is joy beyond compare.
But when you saw Him coming,
..would you meet Him at the door

 

With arms outstretched in welcome
..to your heavenly visitor?
Or would you have to change your clothes
..before you let Him in?

 

Or hide some magazines and put
..the Bible where they'd been?
Would you turn off the radio
..and hope He hadn't heard?

 

And wish you hadn't uttered
..that last loud hasty word?
And would you hide your worldly music
..and put some hymn books out?

 

Could you let Jesus just walk right in,
..or would you rush about?
And I wonder, if the Savior
..spend a day or two with you,

 

Would you go right on doing
..the things you always do?
Would you go right on saying
..the things you always say?

 

Would life for you continue
..as it does from day to day?
And would your family conversation
..keep up it's usual pace?

 

And would you find it hard each meal
..to say a table grace?
Would you sing the songs you always sing,
..and read the books you read,

 

And let Him know the things
..on which your mind and spirit feed?
And would you take Jesus with you
..everywhere you'd planned to go?

 

Or maybe would you change your plans
..for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet
..your very closest friends,

 

Or hope that they would stay away
..until His visit ends?
And would you be glad
..to have Him stay forever on and on?

 

Or would you sigh with great relief
..when He at last was gone?
Oh, it might be interesting to know
..the things that you would do,

If Jesus came in person
..to spend some time with you.

 

 

"Friends are God's way of taking care of us."

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
