Poems by Lenora McWhorter

We celebrate the resurrection
and hail the risen Christ.
We kneel before the rugged cross
where Jesus gave His life.

We lift our hands in total praise
and give thanks to God above
for the great sacrifice He made
to declare His unfailing love.

If we look back to Calvary
where Jesus was crucified,
we can see His nail-pierced hands
and the wounds in His side.

We marvel at Christ's suffering
and give thanks for His sacrifice
'cause it was for us that Jesus died
so we could have eternal life.

But God raised Jesus from the dead!
And with gratitude we can say,
"Our sin debt has been paid in full,"
so we celebrate Resurrection Day!

When my hope fades
and all my dreams die,
and I find no answer
by asking the Lord why,

I just keep on trusting
and hold on to my faith
because our God is just
He makes no mistakes.

When life's storms come
and trials I must face,
when I find no solution
I just rest in God's grace.

When life seems unfair
and more than I can take,
I look up to the Father;
He never makes mistakes.

God knows our struggles,
He sees every bend in the road.
But no mistake is ever made
'cause He weighs every load.

Glory to our loving Lord, who is a
Mighty God and a faithful friend.
His divine love for us is pure and perfect,
and His great mercy knows no end.

God comforts those who are troubled,
and to the weak He gives strength.
He fills the empty souls with joy
and makes the anxious hearts content.

Our God binds the broken spirits,
and He will calm all our fears.
God meets us in the valley of weeping,
and with His love, He dries our tears.

Our faithful Lord hears our prayers,
and He sees our hurts and pain.
He shines His light in our darkness
and sends sunshine after the rain.

God is awesome and trustworthy.
He's an amazing God, like no other.
He walks with us through hard times
and sticks closer than any brother.

There's no problem God can't solve,
and there's no need He cannot meet.
God promises to always be with us,
and every promise given, He will keep!

When night changes into day
we get a chance to start over again.
We can complete the things left undone
and reach back and make amends.

God protects us by His power.
We are not here by happenstance
But by a divine connection with God
He upholds us with His hand.

God oversees all that concerns us 
keeping watch night and day.
With His all-seeing eyes He leads us.
He orders our steps and direct our way.

God surrounds us with His mercy,
and He covers us with His love.
He speaks peace to our weary souls
as He looks down from up above.

God knows the way that we take,
our lives are in His hand.
And the outcome of every situation
is under His divine command.

God's all-seeing eyes are upon us.
He protects and shelters His own.
We are forever secure in His loving care
and He promises not to leave us alone.
