The Promise



I'll never leave you, never forsake you
No matter what you're going through
I have got good news for you
I'll be with you always

I'll never leave you, never forsake you
No matter what you're going through
I have got good news for you
I'll be with you always

And when sorrow comes
And there's no other place to run
Just look to me and I'll be there
Just a whisper of a prayer
I'll be with you always

I'll never leave you, never forsake you
No matter what you're going through
I have got good news for you
I'll be with you always

In stormy weather, it is my pleasure
I want to take care of all your needs
Trust me and you'll see
I'll be with you always

And when trouble comes
And there's no other place to run
Just look to me and I'll be there
Just a whisper of a prayer
I'll be with you always

I'll never leave you
I won't forsake you
I won't let you down
I'll be with you always

Never, I won't runaway
I'll be right here
And heal you when you're in pain
I'll be with you always

(No matter who you are)
And never walk away from Him
(No matter what you need)
No matter what you do, I don't care what you've done)

God will always be there
No matter what you're going through
I have got good news for you
I'll be with you always

Whoever you are
You might be driving in your car or at home
But God made us a promise
There will be times in our lives when things will happen

But guess what? God will always be right there
I know he's been with me, be with you
Always
Forever, forever, always

My future is in The Lord´s hands and Let the salvation flag gently blow.






When I was a child my father bought an old  gramophone at an auction. Together with the gramophone were a bunch of  old 78 records. A lot of them were the Salvation Army; ladies singing with guitars and piano. It touch my heart although I didn't fully understand the texts. Today I do understand and was glad to find them om You Tube. 
 Unfortunately I could not find them  in English.

I have the highest respect for the Salvation Army and I think they are doing tremendous work among people "living in the shadows".

Were It Not For Grace

Time measured out my days, life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God but knew I'd never be so strong
I looked hard at this world to learn how Heaven could be gained
Just to end where I began, where human effort is all in vain


Were it not for grace, I can tell you where I'd be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me, I know how that would go
The battles I would face forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace

So here is all my praise expressed with all my heart
Offered to the Friend who took my place and ran a course I could not start
And when He saw in full just how much His love would cost
He still went the final mile between me and Heaven so I would not be lost

Were it not for grace, I can tell you where I'd be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me and I know how that would go
The battles I would face forever running but losing the race
Were it not for grace
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

BeBe Winans: Safe From Harm



"Safe From Harm"

If I lose my life, I will find again
I will soar on eagle's wings and then
Ever cease from war, rest in Jesus arms
For the Lord, He's good and I am safe from harm

It's the Lord that gives, heard the prophets say
And I will bless His name, though he takes away
I will trust, not fear, naught to be alarmed
For the Lord, He's good and I am safe from harm

I'm safe, I'm safe
In the eye of the storm, there's calm
For the Lord He's good
My soul is safe from harm

So when the tear ducts swell and my strength has gone
I will still believe when His name I call
He will rescue me for dusk turns to dawn
For the Lord He's good and I am safe from harm

I'm safe, I'm safe
In the eye of the storm, there's calm
For the Lord He's good
For the Lord He's good
For the Lord He's good
My soul is safe from harm

Beauty for Brokenness



Beauty for brokenness
Hope for despair
Lord, in your suffering
This is our prayer
Bread for the children
Justice, joy, peace
Sunrise to sunset
Your kingdom increase!

Shelter for fragile lives
Cures for their ills
Work for the craftsman
Trade for their skills
Land for the dispossessed
Rights for the weak
Voices to plead the cause
Of those who can't speak

God of the poor
Friend of the weak
Give us compassion we pray
Melt our cold hearts
Let tears fall like rain
Come, change our love
From a spark to a flame


Refuge from cruel wars
Havens from fear
Cities for sanctuary
Freedoms to share
Peace to the killing-fields
Scorched earth to green
Christ for the bitterness
His cross for the pain

Rest for the ravaged earth
Oceans and streams
Plundered and poisoned
Our future, our dreams
Lord, end our madness
Carelessness, greed
Make us content with
The things that we need

Lighten our darkness
Breathe on this flame
Until your justice
Burns brightly again
Until the nations
Learn of your ways
Seek your salvation
And bring you their praise
