spot,
    That’s the sincere plea of a sinner,
    and God can tell whether or not
    We honestly seek His forgiveness
    and earnestly mean what we say,
    And then and then only God answers
    the prayers that we fervently pray.

    When life seems empty and there’s no place to go,
    When you heart is troubled and your spirits are low,
    When friends seem few and nobody cares,
    There is always God to hear your prayers …
    And whatever you’re facing will seem much less
    When you go to God and confide and confess,
    For the burden that seems too heavy to bear
    God lifts away on the wings of prayer …
    And seen through God’s eyes earthly troubles diminish
    And we’re given new strength to face and to finish
    Life’s daily tasks as they come along
    If we pray for strength to keep us strong …
    So go to our Father when troubles assail you,
    For His grace is sufficient and He’ll never fail you.

    Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it’s true,
    But finding it and keeping it seem difficult to do,
    Difficult because we think that happiness is found
    Only in the places where wealth and fame abound—
    And so we go on searching in “palaces of pleasure”
    Seeking recognition and monetary treasure,
    Unaware that happiness is just a “state of mind”
    Within the reach of everyone who
    takes time to be kind—
    For in making others happy we will be happy, too,
    For the happiness you give away returns
    to “shine on you.”

    The more you give, the more you get
    The more you laugh, the less you fret.
    The more you do unselfishly,
    The more you live abundantly
    The more of everything you share,
    The more you’ll always have to spare.
    The more you love, the more you’ll find
    That life is good and friends are kind,
    For only what we give away
    Enriches us from day to day.

    Friendship is a golden chain,
    the links are friends so dear,
    And like a rare and precious jewel,
    it’s treasured more each year.
    It’s clasped together firmly with
    a love that’s deep and true,
    And it’s rich with happy memories
    and fond recollections, too.
    For friendship is a priceless gift
    that can’t be bought or sold,
    And to have an understanding friend
    is worth far more than gold …
    And the golden chain of friendship
    is a strong and blessed tie
    Binding kindred hearts together
    as the years go passing by.

    Who said the darkness of the
    night would never turn to day?
    Who said the winter’s bleakness
    would never pass away?
    Who said the fog would never
    lift and let the sunshine through?
    Who said the skies, now overcast,
    would nevermore be blue?
    Why should we ever entertain these
    thoughts so dark and grim
    And let the brightness of our minds
    grow cynical and dim
    When we know beyond all questioning
    that winter turns to spring
    And on the notes of sorrow
    new songs are made to sing?
    For no one sheds a teardrop
    or suffers loss in vain,
    For God is always there to turn
    our losses into gain …
    And every burden borne today
    and every present sorrow
    Are but God’s happy harbingers
    of a joyous, bright tomorrow.

    God did not promise sun without rain,
    Light without darkness or joy without pain.
    He only promised strength for the day
    When the darkness comes and we lose our way …
    For only through sorrow do we grow more aware
    That God is our refuge in times of despair,
    For when we are happy and life’s bright and fair,
    We often forget to kneel down in prayer …
    But God seems much closer and needed much more
    When trouble and sorrow stand outside our door,
    For then we seek shelter in His wondrous love,
    And we ask him to send us help from above …
    And that is the reason we know it is true
    That bright, shining hours and dark, sad ones, too,
    Are part of the plan God made for
