THE PROMISED LAND
How I wish I were with You always,
From dawn to dusk,
To stay beside You,
To go with You
Wherever You go,
Not into the world
Where Satan dwells,
The bright and beautiful abode
Where I feel Your Presence.
Let me hide under Your wings,O Lord,
Your wings are strong to protect me,
To protect me from all danger.
Help me in my long journey
Through the arid desert
Until I reach my Promised Land.

THE POWER OF PRAYER
Praying heart praises,
Praising heart prays.
Communion with Our Saviour
Strengthens us.
O! Beloved Saviour,
I love You.
How blessed are we who pray,
We find the Will of God
Through prayer.
Peace and joy fills us
While we pray.
Prayer is our food,
Prayer is our medicine,
Prayer makes us
Young and merry,
Prayer makes us
Jump for Christ,
Sing for Christ,
Dance for Christ.
Heavenly Father,
Let me dance like David.
Jesus Christ,You know
How much I love You!

THE VOICE OF GOD
Let the voice of heaven
Sound in my ears,
Not the voice
Of this world.
O,Lord,let me hear
Your Voice through
The Holy Spirit.
Let me hear
The heavenly song,
Even when I sleep.
O,Saviour,
Let me be like Mary,
Always sitting
At Your feet.
Help me to hear
Your voice always.

PRAYER IS LIFE
Prayer is life,
Life is prayer,
Prayer gives me strength,
Strength to face
All the problems
Of this world.
Prayer brightens my day,
It gives me sound sleep at night.
I abide in My Saviour,
And humbly I rest.
Prayer makes me strong
To defeat Satan.
Prayer continues unceasingly,
It does not stop
In the morning or at noon.
It goes on and on,
Until sleep shuts my eyes.
O,that blessed life
Of prayer,
I long for the
Sweet life.

THE MEANING OF TRIALS
I cried,I wept,I wailed,
Where are you,Lord?
In a very gentle voice,
You said You are with me.
I could not understand it.
If You are here with me,
Why do I face all these trials?
You gently told me,
It is all for my good,
To make me strong and humble,
To shape me into a useful vessel
In Your Kingdom,
To win many souls
In this sinful world.
When I listed all these reasons,
I understood the meaning
Of all my trials.

THE WORD OF GOD
I am a soldier
Who is not weary or tired,
I feed myself
With God's Word.
The Word is my strength
And my fortress.
Whenever I feel sad or sick,
I go to the Word,
And out I come
With a strong mind.
The Word is God
And God is the Word.
O,it is my treasure!

WHERE ARE YOU?
Where are you,
My Child?
I searched for you
Everywhere,
I looked in the meadows,
Valleys and woods.
I searched in your school,
And thinking that
You had gone with your friends,
I inquired in their homes,
I did not see you anywhere.
As I sat in my room,
Heart-broken and desolate,
My Saviour came quickly to me,
Bearing you on His shoulders.
I rejoice because you are with
Your Heavenly Father,
Where there is no tragedy and sorrow.
When my Saviour calls me,
I will also come and join you
In Praise and Worship.

MY HOME IN HEAVEN
I can see the house
In which I'm going to stay
With my Father in heaven.
I can see it with faith's eye,
All my trials in this wilderness
Are treasured by
My Father in Heaven.
When I think of this,
My heart leaps for joy,
I'm breathless with excitement.
When I reach Heaven,
I'm longing to see
My dearly-beloved Mother,
Whom I've never seen
Face to face.
I'll join all the dear ones
Who have gone on before,
To sing a paean of praise
To our Creator.
© ALEYAMMA JACOB
YOU ARE MY TREASURE
I am your God,
Why do you weep?
Your tears have
Reached me,
I will comfort you.
Nothing is impossible
For Me.
You are Mine,
And I am Yours.
Dear Lord,
I kneel before You,
You are my Treasure
Forever.

THE BETTER PART
Can't You see, Lord,
That I am weary
And tired?
Tell Mary to help me.
Why are you flustered,
My child?
Mary has chosen
The better part,
And no one will
Take it from her.
Lord, give me grace
To be like Mary.
