Only Through God When sorrow crawls into my heart And saturates my soul, No power of mine can loosen it. My will can't make me whole. Without my God to shelter me, To add His strength to mine, I'd have no way to puzzle through The tangle disentwine. When my road takes so many turns That I have lost direction, It is then I remind myself I'm under God's protection. It matters not the happenstance The problems that assail, I need not face them on my own, My God's there without fail. Why would one travel through this life Without the help he's given? Reach out, reach out and take the Hand That leads one straight to Heaven. By:Joyce 05/31/03 [This message has been edited by Joyce Johnson (05-31-2003 08:16 PM).] |

Joyce, that was terrific! Now if everyone would only listen and reach out, what a wonderful world this would be. |

Joyce, I cannot fathom a life without Him. Yet, there are many who never acknowledge His embrace and love. How terribly sad for them. Wonderful piece ... smiles, Marti Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. A.Einstein |

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Joyce, it is so very sad, I truly believe everyone needs to live life with Him by their side as He truly is what guides us along the way and feeds us the bread of life! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, may we all never take Him for granted and walk toward the light His hand in ours through voice, melody, and spirit, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Dear Joyce, I know I have been away for awhile. I am going through some battles here, one of them is learning to "let God". I have always enjoyed your work, and this one is no exception. It only makes sense to lean on our faith, but our human nature always tends to lead us into distrust. I really needed your poem this morning and I thank you so much. I hope to be posting again soon, I miss it. God bless you Joyce -Tim PS: email me, would like to chat. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

I really don't know where I'd be without God's help. Well done Joyce! ~Elizabeth Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone... |
