Rabbit Trails

      Soon we'll reach the silver river, Soon our pilgrimage will cease; Soon our happy hearts will quiver With the melody of peace.

    Day by day, and with each passing moment, Strength I find, to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear. He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure Gives unto each day what He deems best— Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure, Mingling toil with peace and rest.   Every day, the Lord Himself is near me With a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me, He Whose Name is Counselor and Pow’r. The protection of His child and treasure Is a charge that on Himself He laid; “As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” This the pledge to me He made.   Help me then in every tribulation So to trust Thy promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation Offered me within Thy holy Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, E’er to take, as from a father’s hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, Till I reach the promised land.

The Inspiration's sing it. I sing it in my head lots. Because I need to remember it, lots.   Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 

Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.  OH! precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow! No other fount I know.......nothing but the blood of Jesus!

  Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.   I love hymns.  They're my favorite kind of music.  I just bought a tape for a dime and it has hymn medleys....that's my very favorite. Three or four songs all blended into one.     When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay!   Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadows o'er me.   He took my sins and my sorrows,  He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calv'ry, And suffered, and died alone.   Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne, And thus surround the throne.   Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fa...

Late in the evening When everyone was sleeping The father of a wayward son Slipped out in the night And looked towards the city And wiped away his tears And Prayed his son could hear his father's cry Chorus: Turn your heart towards home Turn your heart towards home You've been gone so long Turn your heart towards home But not only the sons are wayward ones There are mothers and fathers Who have said their goodbyes And the sad eyes of children Looking through their tears Pray their mom and daddy could hear their cries There are those who have never walked away from home But in their hearts they're so many miles away And the Father in heaven is the only one who knows And if you'd listen you could hear Him say: End: You've been gone so long Please don't wait too long Turn your heart towards home

DO YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS? Do you know how it feels to know something missing And hear a still small voice that you just keep dismissing Do you know how it feels to be troubled inside, to think just for you on the cross someone died. Do you know how it feels when he knocks to surrender, How your sins washed away, never to be remembered, And know that’s its real, tell me do you know how it feels. (Chorus) Then how does it feel to know you’re a child of the king Your heavenly father owns everything, how does it feel To know you are loved, by the one who created the stars up above How does it feel , to know your alright, when you lay your head on your pillow each night And know that its real, aint it good to know how it feels Do you know how it feels, when your cold heart has melted And tears start flowing, the moment you felt it Do you know how it feels, to know you’ve been changed And it seems that the hold world has been rearranged Do you know how it feels, where...

Pinebrook Choruses The Gospel~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Savior above, In wonderful love, Came down to the earth to die; That all who believe Might pardon receive And live with Him ever on high.

Something More Than Gold~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, yes, I know there's something more, Something more than gold, To know my sins are all forgiv'n, Is something more than gold. He Laid Down His Life For His Sheep~~~~~~~~ He laid down His life for His sheep, He laid down His life for his sheep; This Shepherd so kind, Had me in His mind, When he laid down His life for His sheep. A Good Enough Book For Me~~~~~~~~~~` It's a good enough book for me, A good enough book for me; It tells of Jesus who die for me, It tells of a Savior who ransomed me, It's pages are true, and it's message is new; It's a good enough book fo...

I wish I knew the tune to this....maybe some day I will hear it!! Summer Skies Are Glowing -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summer skies are glowing Over land and sea; Happy light is flowing, Bountiful and free. Every thing rejoices In the mellow rays; All earth's thousand voices Swell the psalm of praise. God's free mercy streameth Over all the world, And His banner gleameth, Everywhere unfurled. Broad and deep and glorious As the heaven above, Shines in might victorious His eternal love. Lord, upon our blindness Thy pure radiance pour; For Thy loving-kindness Makes us love Thee more; And, when clouds are drifting Dark across our sky, Then, the veil uplifting, Father, be Thou nigh. We will never doubt Thee, Though Thou veil Thy light; Life is dark without Thee; Death with Thee is bright. Light of light! shine o'er us On our pilgrim way; Go Thou still before us To the endless day.

Goodly Heritage 1) I may not have riches as some others may But I have a mother who knows how to pray And maybe there's some things I've missed in my youth But I have a father who stands for the truth Chorus: I have a goodly heritage I'm blessed with things you can't see I have a goodly heritage And that is worth far more to me 2) And if in the future, my parents pass on, To dwell in that City we've come to call Home They may not leave me the goods of this world But I have accepted their God and His Word Chorus I have a goodly heritage I'm blessed with things you can't see I have a goodly heritage And that is worth far more to me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` I have everything, all that I need All that I need, treasures unseen, And that is worth far more to me I did NOT have a goodly heritage.  I did have parents that loved me, but they did not know the Lord.  I did not grow up with a mom that prayed. My dad did not st...

Verse 1 Their chains were fastened tight Down at the jail that night Still Paul and Silas would not be dismayed They said, “It’s time to lift our voice, Sing praises to the Lord Let’s prove that we will trust Him come what may” Chorus God wants to hear you sing When the waves are crashing ‘round you When the fiery darts surround you When despair is all you see God wants to hear your voice When the wisest man has spoken And says, “Your circumstance is as hopeless as can be” That’s when God wants to hear you sing Verse 2 He loves to hear our praise on our cheerful days When the pleasant times outweigh the bad, by far But when suffering comes along And we still sing Him songs That is when we bless the Father’s heart

Matthew 18:12-13 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?  And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold. But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold. Away on the mountains wild and bare. Away from the tender Shepherd’s care. Away from the tender Shepherd’s care. “Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?” But the Shepherd made answer: “This of Mine Has wandered away from Me; And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find My sheep, I go to the desert to find My sheep.” But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed; Nor how dark was the night the Lord passed throu...

Never grow a wishbone daughter Where your backbone ought to be And why take ye thought for your raiment? Consider the lilies of the field How they grow They toil not Neither do they spin spin spin Neither do they spin spin spin.

Yesterday, today, forever, Jesus is the same. All may change, but Jesus never! Glory to His Name! Glory to His Name! Glory to His Name! All may change, but Jesus never! Glory to His Name!    

I am thinking today of that beautiful land I shall reach when the sun goeth down; When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand, Will there be any stars in my crown? Refrain: Will there be any stars, any stars in my crown, When at evening the sun goeth down? When I wake with the blest in the mansions of rest, Will there be any stars in my crown? In the strength of the Lord let me labor and pray, Let me watch as a winner of souls; That bright stars may be mine in the glorious day, When His praise like the sea-billow rolls. Oh, what joy it will be when His face I behold, Living gems at His feet to lay down; It would sweeten my bliss in the city of gold, Should there be any stars in my crown.

Jesus is Tenderly Calling You Home ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christian Hymn Lyrics Online © 2008 Carden's Design. All Rights Reserved. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jesus is tenderly calling you home Calling today, calling today, Why from the sunshine of love will you roam, Farther and farther away? Calling today, calling today, Jesus is calling, is tenderly calling today. Jesus is calling the weary to rest, Calling today, calling today, Bring Him your burden and you shall be blest; He will not turn you away. Jesus is waiting, O come to Him now, Waiting today, waiting today, Come with your sins, at His feet lowly bow; Come, and no longer delay. Jesus is pleading, O list to His voice, Hear Him today, hear Him today, They who believe on His Name shall rejoice; Quickly arise and away.

I love these old children's songbooks.  I have a whole pile of them....and probably gave less than a quarter for each. When all the kids were little,  I would find the tune with my flute, then teach the song to them.  I still hum and sing these little songs.   We all especially liked Ducky Duddle. He was a duck!!  It didn't matter if he got wet or not.  He didn't have an *I don't care* attitude, he just  knew what he was....a DUCK.... and that a little water would not hurt anything. Over In the Meadow tells us about mothers and their babies... One song on page 16, which was written in 1938, encouraged kids to get out of bed and play in the moonlight!  IN THE STREET !! Now that seems like a rebellious and dangerous thing to do. Hippety Hop to the barber shop....to buy a stick of candy.... Come with Me....let's go skaaaaating skaaaaating Quiet is the Night Quiet is the night, soft is the breeze, ...

1.The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen can ever tell. It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell. The guilty pair, bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win; His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin.O love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong! It shall forevermore endure The saints' and angels' song. 2.When hoary time shall pass away, And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; When men who here refuse to pray, On rocks and hills and mountains call; God's love, so sure, shall still endure, All measureless and strong; Redeeming grace to Adam's race— The saints' and angels' song. 3.Could we with ink the ocean fill, And were the skies of parchment made; Were every stalk on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Though stretched from sky to sky.

It matters so little How much you may own The places you've been Or people that you know For it all comes to nothing When placed at His feet It's nothing to Jesus Just memories to me You can take all the treasures From far away lands And take all the riches you can hold in your hands And take all the pleasures Your riches can buy But will it help When it's your time to die CHORUS Only one life So soon it will pass Only what's done for Christ will last Only one chance to do His will So give to Jesus all your days It's the only life that pays When you recall You have but one life The days pass so swiftly The months come and go The years melt away Like new falling snow Spring turns to summer Then summer to fall Autumn brings winter Then death comes to all CHORUS Only one life So soon it will pass Only what's done for Christ will last Only one chance to do His will So give to Jesus all your days It's the...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I just got off the phone with my mom.....before we hung up, I told her what a blessing it was that I could call her and ask her to pray for some things going on in our life.  Not too long ago, I couldn't even DREAM of asking her to do so.  She is now a Christian.....and she does pray.  For some reason this song came to my mind.  There were many sad years waiting for her to become a Christian....there's always room at the cross for one more. Even my mom. The cross upon which Jesus died, Is a shelter in which we can hide; And its grace so free is sufficient for me, And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea There's room at the cross for you, There's room at the cross for you, Tho millions have come, There's still room for one Yes, there's room at the cross for you. Tho millions have found Him a friend, And have turned from the sins they have sinned, The Savior still waits to open the...
