He Guides My Path – The Writing of Sarah Berthelson

I want to thank you God for the memories

I can remember  things  when I was young

I remember my mothers sweet voice

I remember my daddy holding my hand

I remember when my first child was born

I remember when I gave my heart to Jesus

I remember the day I married my love

I remember the first day I attemded  school

I remember when I learned to swim

I remember my first prayer

I remember my classmates that you gave to me

I remember the day I learned of the cross

I remember the tears that I shed

I remember when I laughed until it hurt

I remember yesterday and the day before

Oh precious Jesus how I thank you for the memories

There is a great day coming, by and by.
We whine, we cry, we pout, and fear
That we might die and will not be here.

God has promised to prepare us a place,
A wonderful mansion for all that believe on His Son.
Don’t you think that will be fun?

When we get to Heaven, one great day,
To see Jesus and loved ones gone on before ~
I am looking forward to that day.

He tells us not to fear, that He will always be near.
What a day of rejoicing that will be
When our dear Jesus we will see.

Think of how He has watched over you and me.
Lovingly, He has taken our hand ~
Walked with us, daily, through this land.

Won’t it be wonderful there?

No need to FEAR!

Who cares if I am lonely today

Who cares if I do not pray

Who cares when I stray

Jesus cares

Who cares when I am sick

Who cares when I am defeated

Who cares when I lose a loved one

Jesus cares

Who will walk with me to the store

Who will cry because I am sad

Who will smile for my achievements

Jesus cares

Who will love me unconditionally

Who will be my true friend

Who will lead me in the right direction

Jesus cares

When we think of victory, we think of winning.
That is exactly what we have done.

It wasn’t me that went to the cross.
My Lord, Jesus Christ, did that for me.

Victory with Jesus is so precious to me.
Saved by His grace, my battles He fights.

Most of us do not care to battle or argue.
So, give it to God and win the victory.

Why do we hold on and try to do all for ourselves?
Give it to Him and lay your burdens down.

You will feel great! Now, won’t that be grand?
Jesus is a wonderful Savior, our Father is He.

I cannot imagine what my life, without Him, would be.
If there is one thing I have to say to the world today …

Walk with Him daily and the peace will stay

One day my pastor asked, just to see if I knew
What the word propitiation meant, I didn’t tell him
I knew that it was a test for me, but as I know it
It is Jesus Christ atoning sacrifice for my sin
Sometimes I am asked what something in the Bible means
I am at a loss for awhile until I have the time to think
What is in my heart and what it means to me
There are many words that would describe His love for us
Jesus Christ is the one who died on the cross
That I might have eternal life and that I have no doubt
I asked Him to come into my life and forgive me from sin
Every day I sin, I often think that I cannot do that God
When I know in my heart He has asked me to
Excuses I make for the things I do not want to do
Yet he loves me in spite of my attitude
He lives in my heart and I am so thankful for that!!

Jesus knew me before I was born

He told me so in His own words

Oh yes He did

He watched over me as I grew

With all the protection I needed

Provisions He made just for me

Oh yes He did

He came into this world to save my soul

Asking me to accept Him and to be bold

Oh yes He did

He went to the cross so I would not be lost

When He arose on that third day, it was for me

He became my boss

Oh Yes he did

When He said,” come follow me.”

He wanted me to be all that I could be

Not for my pleasure but for His

Oh yes He did

He fed five thousand with only a small amount of bread and very few fish

Oh yes He did

He walked on water for others to believe

He told Noah to build an ark for others to see

Oh yes He did

He asked me to witness to the world

To be His voice, His hands and His feet

Oh yes He did

Will you follow this mighty God today?

Oh I hope you will

Today I have some concerns that I cannot handle

There is trouble in the streets and in the homes

I cannot fix them no matter how I try

I am looking to Jesus

I feel so down and all out of sorts

No one can help me it seems

Where do I go and what do I do

I am looking to Jesus

Things are happening like domestic violence

Abortion is at an all time high

All these things make me want to cry

I am looking to Jesus

Jesus is the answer to all  our troubles

We must trust Him and do our very best

To make our world safer and help those in need

He will bless  us   I am looking to Jesus

The only thing that matters this very day

Is the one that I need to hear me pray

Just Jesus is the only one that can forgive my sin

That is the way that my prayer life began

Just Jesus loved me enough for me to have eternal life

That brings me much comfort as I kneel to pray

Knowing he cares what I have to say

Just Jesus can guide me and keep me safe

As I stroll through another day

Hoping not to make too many, mistakes

Just Jesus is enough to turn the frown into a smile

When I think of the price he paid and is alive

Just Jesus can fill the emptiness that often comes my way

He holds my hand and comforts me through my fears and dismay

Just Jesus Is ENOUGH

My dear Jesus, were You anxious
When You saw the soldiers coming near
To take You to that cross that Your loved ones feared?

Jesus, did You once wonder why You had to suffer
For us children that would someday have a chance
To accept or reject our Salvation that You offer?

Jesus, were You anxious when You saw the tears

Of Your dear mother and the ones that loved You so?

I want to thank You, today, as I feel anxious.
Although, I know that You are here with me, holding my hand,
As I face a difficult time in my life.

I say, “Well, I am only human.”
You were human on that day, my Jesus.

Did You once have anxiety, my Savior?

Thank You for going to that cross for me.
I know that You made a way for me
Throughout all eternity.

Thank You for showing me so much strength
In the crises that I face,
I give it all to You because You did, that day,
For me.
