I believe deep in my heart
That I am not alone
For walking right beside me
Is a God I call my own

His tenderness surrounds me
In his hands, He holds the keys
He lifts me in his loving arms
To cross the raging seas

His love is unconditional
My anchor when I stray
He is my strength in times of weakness
He is the light to find my way

Yes, I believe with all my heart
That I am not alone
For carrying me through my trials
Is a God I call my own

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never walk alone.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
Psalm 27:1




by Jimmie W. Warren

Your sky at night is like diamonds spread on black velvet cloth. To know you are just behind that blackness makes me feel that you are near. Yet, the span of space makes you so far away.

Your sky during the day shows your royal color blue with your pure light shining on puffy white clouds.

To know that Jesus was caught up in glory in those clouds lets me know that He is near. Yet, from this earthly place looking up, you seem so far away.

When I pray, I look up at my ceiling. It’s so close. I feel that you are near. Yet, when I think how high my prayer must go, you seem so far away.

Thank you God for your grace (unmerited favor) which through Jesus is so near. Yet,
to us sinners, you seem so far away.

Remember, oh Lord, that for you a thousand years is a thousand days.

A thousand days seems so near, but a thousand years is so far away to us humans who live an average 70 years--something which is not so far away. We start out young and living to be 70 seems like a long time. But, by the time we reach our fifties it is but a short time away.

The time of the end was near for all those who served you. Yet to those who ran the race to be in your kingdom, it was so far away.

Many have prayed "Thy kingdom come," wishing it was near. Yet, fear wishes it far away.

We are frail in this life; we don’t want it to end. But, believing in Jesus and his resurrection makes you not so far away, but so near to us.

So come, oh God. Pull back the black of space and the blue of skies and the clouds that stole our savior away. Be near to us God, not far away.
