THE ABCs OF PEACE AND JOY


			A	Alleluia to the Lord on High
			B	Blessed be the Name of the Lord
			C	Come into my heart, Lord Jesus
			D	Deliver me from my enemies
			E	Enclose me in Your loving arms
			F	Free me from my despair
			G	Grant unto me Your mercy
			H	Help me to seek You always
			I	Instill in me a desire to serve You
			J	Join my heart with Yours
			K	Keep me from being a stumbling block
			L	Let others see Jesus in me
			M	Mold me, as a potter molds clay
			N	Never let me doubt You
			O	Open thou mine eyes
			P	Place me in paths of righteousness
			Q	Quench not Your Spirit within me
			R	Reign in my life forever
			S	Sustain me by Your grace
			T	Touch my life to the very core
			U	Unfurl Your banner of love over me
			V	Visit me in my dreams
			W	Watch over me and my family
			X	*(Christ) is my refuge
			Y	Your plan of salvation is my joy
			Z	Zion will be my home forever
