She has done a beautiful thing to me

An alabaster jar and much more for her Lord
She gave loving tears to the one she adored.
Placing ointment upon His feet and head
"I love you Lord, " her silent actions said.
With hair from her head and tears from her eyes
she washed his feet to everyones surprise.
Determined to show her love for her Lord
she proved her love without saying a word.

When hope seemed so hopeless,

When hope seemed so hopeless, and all was lost.
looking impossible and too great the cost.
His incredible promise I then believed
and reached out to Jesus. His love received

There upon the cross with arms opened wide
"I love you so dearly, " to me Jesus cried.
"All is forgiven and I've paid the price
for your forgiveness by my sacrifice."

Between Good Friday and Easter Sunday

He's dead! I cannot believe that He just died.
They beat Him and had Him crucified.
Now He's gone. The One I used to follow.
Without Him life is now bleak and hollow.

What shall I do and where shall I go?
You tell me what to do, for I don't know.
My world has fallen apart and crashed
My hopes all pulverised and dashed.

............to be continued
See He's alive

The bread and wine of heaven

There's wine from heaven that no money can buy
it satisfies the thirst of those who are dry.
'I am thirsty' You cried so that we might know
the deep thirst quenching taste of that crimson flow.

There is a bread that can fully satisfy
The Bread of heaven hung on the cross to die.
So let your soul delight in the richest fare
as you feast in the presence of your Lord there.

Rabboni

'Why do you look for Jesus amongst the dead'
These were the words the angels to Mary said.
Later in the garden she heard You call her name
Then turning around 'Rabboni' was her refrain.

The voice she thought she'd never hear again
came speaking from the grave so clear and plain.
There before her in glorious resurrection victory
stood her Lord, untouchable but alive was He.

Dorothy, My Darling

Dorothy, My darling, is the love of my life
My lover, my sweetheart and my wonderful wife
For fifty years my love has blossomed and grown
And she's the most wonderful woman I have known.

There will never be another woman for me
For no one else can compare with my Dorothy
My soul mate and girlfriend throughout those many years
Walking with me through times of joy and times of tears.

I will always love you

I loved you, much more than you will ever know
I loved you, and agreed to the cross to go
I loved you, even before you knew my name
I loved you, and willingly bore all your shame
I loved you, even when you were full of sin
I loved you, and died that I your soul should win
I loved you, so much and willingly died.
I loved you, then 'Father forgive I cried.'

.... and I will always love you

When the wine is running out

When the wine is running out and all seems bleak
to whom shall we go and Who shall we seek?
When the wine is running out and all seems lost
how shall we get more and who'll pay the cost?

When life is running short and our days are numbered.
When time is difficult and we feel encumbered.
Let's go to Jesus and all the difficulties share.
Tell Him of all the problems and leave them there.

Underneath Are The Everlasting Arms

Father into your hands I place
the things I cannot do.
Father into your hands I give
what Irene's going through.
Father into your hands I place
the surgeons and nurses too.
For I know I always can trust you

Father into yours hands I place
my friends and family.
Father into your hands I place
everything that troubles me.
Father into your hands I place
the things I cannot see.
Because You care for Irene and me.

Christ in me, the hope of glory

Christ in me is the hope of glory.
Sing my heart of the wondrous story.
A song of love to my Lord Jesus.
Who gave His life to redeem us.

Sing of Him who came down to save me
And of the new life that He gave me
For Christ is the One whom I worship
Far above all men He is worth it.

Worthy of the glory and of praise
So to heaven let my anthem raise
Sing out to Him Who's enthroned above
My Lord of Glory and King of love
