Prayer

O, Guide me God,
    Let me obey
      I am a poor lost sinner
        O Saviour, help me to see
           that life and death,
                     it comes from Thee.
   He shed His blood
         and cleanseth me,
   O, Lord, be my Redeemer.

Smile a bit, and joke a bit.
 But pray every day.

       Love God, and rejoice!

Autumn

     The sun has set,
The sky was red
     I saw the falling leaves
     It was Autumn,
  and the breeze was rustling through the trees.
     Never, oh never I saw a golden shining
        like this. The leaves were
               falling far and dying.
It was God’s work
           It was His hands.
If the winter’s full of sadness,
    After that He gives us gladness
He makes everything alright,
    after darkness comes the light.

Christ Is Coming

Soon the time is there,
Christ will come in the air!
What you have done,
What you did say,
Just wait and see, and pray.
If your consciences are clear,
What is there to fear?
Have you done your duty?
Have you played your part?
God, He gives His blessing,
He makes free your heart.

Think,  Before You Speak

One word can roughly tear apart
The happiness, and break a heart.
    Let see you are a Christian,
    And watch your tongue.
Think of it.
        Did I say something wrong?
It is up to you,
        That you go the right way;
So speak the Truth,
               and start today.

     He gives you this lovely voice.
     My heart is joyful of your song,
     To hear that lovely voice.

The Butterfly

I saw a butterfly coming
Down at a blossom tree,
The petals white as snow,
Were falling down.
The ground was covered
With a thousand petals.
All of a sudden,
The butterfly did fly away!
Fly, fly, butterfly,
Fly high in the sky.
Oh, come, take me along,
Oh, butterfly, that I can fly,
Also high in the sky!

You Can't Go Wrong

You can’t go wrong,
If you listen carefully, to
What the Bible said.
Where  ever you may be,
Walk step by step, and day by day.
         Christ, He will walk with you,
     He is the Truth, the Way.
Believe in Him;
He leads you in His hand,
Through the world,
To a better Land.

Some Days

Thanks God, for this lovely day!
Spring is there,
flowers are coming out of the clay,
Thanks for this blessing, O Lord.
Why are some days bad,
    And some of them heaven sent?
Is this a punishment?
Sometimes we see
         Glimpses of beauty.
Wrapped in mystery.
       Wonderful and strange in glory.
  
       We are glad,
because Christ is risen from the dead!
        It happened on Calvary,
On Easter day,
The Spirit of Christ’s Victory.

Our Talents

May you ever, either be working
      waiting, or watching in deed
gathering, sowing or watering seed.
      God, who His Son did send
gave you a talent.
     Don’t say, "O have not."
This blessing is from God,
     This blessing may give grain
Throw it into the ground again.
    Which, when taking root,
With God’s blessing brings forth fruit.
          There is work for you
    That no one else can do.
This favour with God and His love,
    Is a blessing, and ending above
Work for your Master’s Glory;
A Triumph from His Victory.

Mijn Verlangen

Naar U , O God, is mijn Verlangen
      ‘k Verlang naar U te gaan
Mijn hart is soms zo bange.
       Dat dit voorbij zal gaan.
Ver in die hoge sferen
       is die hemel, een lied
die Koning daar te eren,
Hij die het al gebied.
‘t Verlangen, wordt beneden
      Door mij, wel vaak bekoeld
Och, Bron, zet Gij uw schreden
Naast mij, dat ‘k word omspoeld
      met Uwe waterbeken,
zo helder en zo klaar,
      Uw wateren vloeien, maar
‘t Verlangen wordt een smeken.
      Maar hoe vaak ik ook griefde
Hoe dikwijls ik ook viel
      Uw grote, grote Liefde
is’t Verlangen, waarvoor ik kniel.

Ik Ben De Weg

Ik ben de Weg, de Waarheid en het leven
God, Hij Zelf heeft ons die
       Hoop en troost gegeven.
Ga allen dan tot Hem,
      Die vermoeid zijn en belast
      Zijn Liefde geeft ons Licht,
Zijn Handen houden ons vast.
   De deur staat open,
      Gij kunt daar binnen gaan.
      Op Hem kunt gij hopen,
Hij gaat en staat vooraan.

Young People Don’t Understand

Young people don’t understand
How quick the years go to an end.
If you are old, you have to go.
Times end when? We don’t know.
If old and young, look up
            to the cross
Then we wish all of us
               to see Jesus.

Vrede

Eens lagen er herders te wachten,
In velden van Efratha
Toen kwamen er eng’len en brachten
De tijding van Beth’lems stal,
zij zongen ter ere van ‘t kindeke,
En eerden ook God bovenal.
Gods Liefde in die heilige nacht,
Bracht Vrede op deze aard.
De eng’len kijken ootmoedig neer,
De Kribbe werd een Kruis.
Wij knielen, door Uw Liefde O Heer,
Eens brengt Gij ons dan thuis.

Strijders

Bedevaart gangers
Christen, aanhangers
Strijden, tot "Gods Glory’
Voor Hem is de Victory
          zij vechten blij,
en maken zich vrij.
Vrijheid praters
Femelaars, haters
Strijden hun strijd
en eren hun god
zij allen weten
hoe zij God vergeten,
in Zijn gebod.

HEDEN,VERLEDEN EN TOEKOMST

Kerstfeest is nu weer nabij,
     en het einde van het jaar.
We denken dan aan vreugde en smart
     dat wij hadden met elkaar.
O, er waren tegenspoeden,
    maar steeds gaf Gij uitkomst, Heer
En met Uwe grote Liefde
    zag Gij op Uwe kinderen neer.
Uren, dagen, maanden, jaren,
    duizend zijn bij U slechts, een,
En het einde van die jaren,
    weet Gij, Vader, Gij alleen.
Laat ons buigen Hem ter eer.
    Knielen voor Zijn kribbe neer.
Vrede zal op aarde dagen
    Ook de vrede in ons hart.
God alleen heeft welbehagen,
    Als wij knielen voor de Man van Smart
Laat osn juichen, laat ons loven
    Here, ‘t gaat ons verstand te bovenj
Maar wij weten, door het kruis,
    voert Gij ons eens in ‘t Vaderhuis.
