Phyllis Woods Poem
When times have done their best to bind
All joy for living from my mind
When careful plans they all unwind
And peace is just too hard to find
When days have turned my dreams to dust
And treasured things have gone to rust
And when it seems that there are just
Too few around that I can trust
Then words of life you give to me
True and tender, strong and free
They bring me back and let me see
The plans of love you have for me
I didn't think I'd ever find
Someone so good, Someone so kind
But it is so, you have designed
peace for my heart, peace for my mind
There are no words to thank you, Friend
New joy, new peace to me you send
My life you've chosen to defend
And offer love that has no end
And words of life you give to me
True and tender, strong and free
They bring me back and let me see
The plans of love you have for me.

Phyllis Woods Poem
As darkness fell that holy night
And people slept so unaware
From Heaven shone a wondrous light
That fell upon a manger there
A sacred light so rare and true
Yet only seen by just a few
A matchless light of radiance fair
A Father's love glows brightly there
The light of Christ still shines today
For those who seek to know His way
Oh wondrous gift that we may see
The light of God's eternity
One day on distant Heaven's shore
We'll thrill to what we have in store
A city bright with Heaven's light
A perfect homeland evermore
No darkness there, nor can there be
For this is God's eternity
Where beauty reigns and Christ is King
And light illumines everything.

When times have done their best to bind
All joy for living from my mind
When careful plans - they all unwind
And peace is just too hard to find
When days have turned my dreams to dust
And treasured things have gone to rust
And when it seems that there are just
Too few around that I can trust
Then words of life you give to me
True and tender, strong and free
They bring me back and let me see
The plans of love you have for me
I didn't think I'd ever find
Someone so good, Someone so kind
But it is so, you have designed
Peace for my heart, peace for my mind
There are no words to thank you, Friend
New joy, new peace to me you send
My life you've chosen to defend
And offer love that has no end
And words of life you give to me
True and tender, strong and free
They bring me back and let me see
The plans of love you have for me.
