Please remain true to me and other Candlestick selections
Please, remain true to me.
Please, remain true to me
Young man when you come today
to My house to pray;
Please, don't forsake the faith
of your fathers.
Young woman, when you come today,
to My house to pray;
Please don't forsake the faith
of your mothers.
Raise your children in my ways;
,many shepherds here today,
are leading My flock
far far away.
One day soon, I'll come again
for all of My friends,
Please remain true to me
until then.
Blessed Hope in Christ Jesus,

Our Beloved Redeemer
O Christ, our beloved Redeemer,
we love you most of all.
For when you gave your precious
blood, you saved us from
Eden's fall.
Your free git of eternal life
is far more valuable than
silver or gold. To humbly
serve You with all of our
hearts is our (only) goal.
When we awaken from our slumber,
to greet your brand new day,
We will gladly worship you,
With our songs of praise.
Your Holy Spirit shall be with us
always. Because we trust You,
We need not to be afraid of
what is beyond the grave.
Love in Christ Jesus

Make Me a Servant
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
please fill my spirit with
Your love divine. Make me a
servant both gentle and kind.
Although I may never journey
(to) far away into other lands;
please never let me forget
to help my fellow man.
Dear Lord Jesus Christ please,
let me be "in your service,"
"just as I am." Please take
me by the hand. Side by
side you will be my trust
worthy leader and guide.
We will walk together
thru your "promise land!"
O dear Lord Jesus Christ,
who reigns from heaven above--
I will love You now and for always.

The Lord Spoke Softly To Me *
The Lord Jesus Christ spoke
softly and gently to me.
one autumn's night as i watched
the stars above me (twinkling brightly.)
He said (unto) me.
"Please My child make Me Lord of your
life. Just turn over your (entire) life over
to Me. And I will give you my free gift
of eternal life."
"For I (really) know the (heavy) conflict
raging (o'er) your soul. Truly become
A (faithful) child of mine. And I promise
to fill your mind (up) with my love divine."
"I will turn your terrors by night into the
promise of a brand new day. By washing
all of your sins away. (Cause) you have
placed your complete trust in Me, your
beloved Lord and Savior, I will always be!"

The Day Jesus came into
my life.
He turned my rainy days
into sunshine. I' ms so glad
He's mine. He turned night time
into day. He washed all of my
sins away. The day Jesus came
into my life.
He turned my sorrow and
sadness into Joy and gladness.
He's turned (hatred) into love.
He's always watching o'er me
from (heaven) above.
(All cause of His great love!)
He taught me how to live;
He taught me how to forgive.
The day Jesus came into my life.
(He chased away all of my
sorrow and strife; when
Jesus came into my life.)
Love in Christ Jesus!

O What a Wonderful Lord!
chorus
O What a wonderful Lord,
O What a wonderful Savior,
O What a blessed Redeemer,
Wonderful Wonderful Lord.
verse one
How very dear and precious,
Wonderful Savior, You are to
Me. You held out your strong
Right arm and You rescued me.
verse two
O I was drowning inside the deepest
Darkest sea of endless misery,
What poor lost soul I really used to be.
I once was lost but now I really do see.
chorus
verse three
Once I was blinded by my inequities.
Until you placed your miry clay on my eyes,
On that blessed day my spirit came alive.
You wiped away all of my tears from my eyes.
verse four
You gave me a reason to carry on by giving
me a brand new song. You gave me a reason
to go on living and giving me brand new days.
Cause you showed me Your way, I'm not afraid!

All of my love in Christ Jesus!

Goodbye for now
My special friends,
Please remember to
Always keep your
Candlesticks brightly
Burning until that
Blessed day,
When we meet
Once again!
*Love Notes
Your Love Notes may be short,
but they are kind, I know
that the Love I receive
from each of you, are honest
as well as true blue.
Whenever you sign your unique
names, your words give me
encouragement, never causing
me any misfortune, nor pain.
Treasured memories of good
times and bad speak to my
heart's and makes me glad.
Yes, I can hardly wait until
the Fridays's when we meet again,
my creative writing and poetry
friends.

meet at the former Carl Gipson's
Senior Center and VOA has no
