FIND YOUR WINGS

It's only for a moment you are mine to hold

The plans that heaven has for you

Will all too soon unfold

So many different prayers I'll pray

For all that you might do

But most of all I'll want to know

You're walking in the truth

And If I never told you

I want you to know

As I watch you grow

Chorus:

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams

And that faith gives you the courage

To dare to do great things

I'm here for you whatever this life brings

So let my love give you roots

And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind

That leads you through your days

And may conviction keep you strong

Guide you on your way

May there be many moments

That make your life so sweet

Oh, but more than memories

Chorus:

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky

I'll have tears as you take off

But I'll cheer as you fly

Dear God

I want to know you Lord

You are a great Big God

I’m young and do not know a lot

Come and be my all

I want to love you more

Giving you my life and all

You died for me you sacrificed

I won't forget you Lord

I love you Jesus

I’ll grow up knowing you

I love you Jesus

I’ll grow up serving you

I love you Jesus

My life was saved by You

I’ll never forget, never forget

I’ll grow up loving you

Glory to God sa buhay ng mga batang ito.

sila ang aking mga anak na tinuturuan.

A PRAYER

Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now.

I am asking you to minister to their spirit at this very moment.

Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy.

Where there is self-doubting,

release a renewed confidence in your ability to work through them.

Where there is tiredness,

I ask you to give them understanding,

patience and strength as they learn submission to your leading.

Where there is spiritual stagnation,

I ask you to renew them by revealing Your nearness

and by drawing them into greater intimacy with you.

Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold oer my friends life.

Bless their finances, give them greater vision,

and raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them.

Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them,

and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.

I ask You to do these things in JESUS NAME.

Amen!

UNIFY

You reached out and rescued me...
answer to my dreams
and love hung on a cross so we could meet....

calmed my restlesness...
words fail to express...
there's no where I would rather be than with you..

the whole earth fall on it's knees...
at the sound of your beautiful name
and all the voices in the world unify today
to bring you this song of praise..

I call on you my king...
you open your arms to me
and embrace me like a father to a child

1 Corinthians 13

Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child; I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

One Thing I Know

Something in your eyes I see

Reminds me of what used to be

When I was still uncertain of the truthh

Sleepless nights that turned to days

Alone inside an endless space

Counting on someone to see me through

CHORUS:

And if there's one thing I know

It's that you were never left alone

'Cause you can always count on Jesus' name

And if there's one thing I pray

It's that Jesus helps you find a way

To make a change and listen to your heart

God will take away your pain if you choose to let it go

if there's one thing I know

How can I convince your heart?

His light can find you in the dark

And only He can make your blind eyes see

For if we speak of lost things found

Or lives that have been turned around

Then tell me who knows better child than me

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

I would never state my life on any lesser thing

Then the cross of Christ where He gave His life to ease my suffering

CHORUS

A Story About Prayer

A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father.

When the minister arrived, she found the man lying in bed with his head propped up on two pillows.

An empty chair sat beside his bed. The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit. "I guess you were expecting me," he said. "No, who are you?" said the father.

"I'm the new minister at your church," she replied. "When I saw the empty chair, I figured you knew I was going to come." "Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?" Puzzled, the minister shut the door. "I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man.

"But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer,but it went right over my head. I abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old man continued, "until one day about four years ago my best friend said to me, 'John, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus.

Here is what I suggest. Sit down in a chair; place an empty chair in

front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because He promised, "I'll be with youalways." Then just speak to him in the same way you're doing with me right now."

So, I tried it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I'm careful though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm.

" The minister was deeply moved by the story & encouraged the old man to continue on the journey. Then she prayed with him, anointed him with oil, and returned to the church.

Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her daddy had died that afternoon. "Did he die in peace?" she asked. "Yes, when I left the house about two o' clock, he called me over bedside, told me he loved me and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him dead. But there was something strange about his death.

Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed. "What do you make of that?" The minister wiped a tear from her eye and said,

"I wish we could all go like that." "So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord.

That is why we live by believing and not by seeing. We live by faith, not by sight."

(2 Corinthians 5:6-8)

Hold Me Jesus!

Hold Me Jesus!

Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all.

When the mountain looks so big and my faith just seems so small.

So Hold Me Jesus,

'Cause I'm shakin' like a leaf.

You have been King of my Glory.

Won't You be my Prince of Peace?

Surrender don't come natural to me.

I'd rather fight You for sometning I don't really want

than I've beat my head against so many walls,

I'm falling down, falling on my kness...

God, please.

And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn,

And Your grace rings out so deep.

It makes my resistance seem so thin.

So Hold Me Jesus,

'Cause I'm shakin like a leaf.

You have been King of my Glory.

Won't You be my Prince of Peace?

I CHOOSE TO LOVE

JOHN 15:11-13

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

Malungkot ako ngayon. Mabigat ang pakiramdam ko.

Dumating sa point na ayaw ko makakita ng tao.

Gusto ko ako lang at si God. Na wala akong ibang kasama kundi Siya lang.

Marami akong gustong itanong sa kanya. Gusto ko umiyak ng umiyak.

Na Siya lang ang gusto kong mag-comfort sakin.

Gusto ko yakapin Niya ako ng mahigpit na mahigpit, na halos ang hininga ko at tibok ng puso ko ay maging kaisa ng hinga at tibok ng puso Niya.

Gusto ko maramdaman ang tibok ng puso Niya, ng piliin niyang mahalin ang isang katulad ko.

Isang katulad ko na makasarili, sinungaling, walang kwenta, makasalanan.

Bakit Niya nga ba ako minahal at hanggang ngayon ay minamahal?

Ngayon alam ko na, alam ko na kung bakit sa kabila ng mga kapintasan at mga kasalanan ko ay minahal at minamahal pa rin niya ako.

Ito ang buhay Niya, ito ay bahagi ng kanyang buhay.

Piliin ang isang katulad ko na makasalanan na mahalin at makasama Niya.

Piliin ang isang katulad ko na walang kwenta. Ganito pala kadakila ang pag-ibig ng Diyos.

Pinili ng Diyos na mahalin ako, upang piliin ko ring mahalin ang mga taong sa tingin ko ay hindi karapat-dapat mahalin. Ang mga taong makasarili, magnanakaw, walang kwenta, makasalanan. Ang hirap palang magmahal ng mga taong ganito. Pero ang Diyos, pinili niya pa ring mahalin ang mga taong ganito.

HE CHOOSE TO LOVE ME!

Everybody is entitled to love.Each and everyday we must wake up and choose to love.

When we choose to love, we are choosing to accept this person as another one of God's children.

I ask God for the strength for me to choose to love everyday and expect nothing in return, and to help me to open my heart to the gift of love.

How about you? What "CHOICE" have you made today?

Whatever challenges you face in your life,

believe you'll turn every experience into something positive.

When you have serious questions you need to answer or emotions you need to process,

know that all of you will take each of your time and do the right thing.

Even though there may be times when each one of you will be dissatisfied with the way things are going in your life, know you'll learn and eventually make changes you need to make and move on. You don't have to be perfect or to be the smartest person in the world to dream.

You don't have to know all the answers to make your dreams come true.

Dreams are free, but they belong to the dreamer who'll take a chance.

So let your imagination takes you that PERFECT PLACE where there is nothing to be afraid of an you can have anything you want. Prepare yourself. Knock on the door of opportunity,

and be ready when it answers. Celebrate all the the possibilities.

Your future is full of hope and happy times, fantasies, and lessons to learn.

Learn them weel. Enjoy each one of them. Believe that all things are possible.

Reach for your stars and go for your dreams.
