Jesus Will Still Be There

Things change, plans fail.

You look for love on a grander scale.
Storms rise, hopes fade

And you place your bets on another day.
When the going gets tough, when the ride's too rough,
When you're just not sure enough.

Jesus will still be there.
His love will never change,
Sure as a steady rain,
Jesus will still be there.
When no one else is true,
He'll still be lovin' you.
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.

Time flies, hearts turn,
A little bit wiser from lessons learned.
But sometimes weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again.
When the going gets tough, when the ride's too rough,
When you're just not sure enough.

Jesus will still be there.
His love will never change,
Sure as a steady rain,
Jesus will still be there.
When no one else is true,
He'll still be lovin' you.
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.

Jesus will still be there.
His love will never change,
Sure as a steady rain,
Jesus will still be there.
When no one else is true,
He'll still be lovin' you.
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.
When it looks like you've lost it all
And you haven't got a prayer,
Jesus will still be there.

What A Friend We Have in Jesus

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?

Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He'll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there.

A Willing Spirit

If meditation is focus, which it is by definition,
Then why is it such a bad thing in Christianity?

I don't really know what is true by God's standards,

Vs. the church's standards.

While God always knows His true church,

The world doesn't. Even some of His own people don't.

We all have internal worlds.

Is God there? Has He reached You there?

If not, I hope He does. It takes both.

God wants everyone, but it takes a willing spirit.
