Negativity

There are times when I get caught up in negativity, Lord, 

Please don't let me forget Your big blessings 

in however small a package.

Giving

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

Burdens

Few burdens are heavy when everyone lifts.

Carry each other's burdens, 

and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Abide With Us, Our Savior

Abide with us, our Savior,

Nor let Your mercy cease;

From Satan's might defend us,

And grant our souls release.

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace!

How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.
