PEACE

PEACE IS A COMFORT

DOWN DEEP INSIDE

GUIDES US THROUGH PAIN

TAKE THINGS IN STRIDE

PEACE IS A GIFT

FROM GOD ABOVE

GIVES US THE STRENGTH

TO REACH OUT IN LOVE

PEACE SOOTHES OUR HEART

AND RELIEVES OUR FEAR

IT REMINDS YOU EACH DAY

THAT JESUS IS NEAR

PEACE CALMS THE STORM

AND SHOWS US A PATH

TO REACH OUT TO OTHERS

WITHOUT VENGENCE OR WRATH

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS PEACE

A BLESSING FOR YOU

DON'T WORRY MY CHILD

HIS PROMISES ARE TRUE!

ED ROSSER

I DID IT FOR YOU

CAN'T HELP BUT NOTICE

THOSE UGLY SCARS

HOW DID YOU GET

GAPING HOLES IN YOUR HANDS

I DID IT FOR YOU

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FEET

MUST HAVE REALLY HURT

LOOKS LIKE A SPIKE

WAS DRIVEN RIGHT THROUGH

I DID IT FOR YOU

SORRY TO MENTION

YOUR SCALP IS RIPPED

HOW DID YOU EVER

WITHSTAND THE PAIN

I DID IT FOR YOU

DON'T MEAN TO BE NOSEY

BUT YOUR SIDE HAS A HOLE

WHY WOULD ANYONE

TOLERATE THIS ABUSE

I DID IT FOR YOU

YOU'RE COVERED WITH BRUISES

AND CUTS FROM A LASH

IS THERE A PERSON

WORTH THIS MUCH SUFFERING

I DID IT FOR YOU

ED ROSSER

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

DEAREST JESUS:

BEEN MEANING TO STOP

BUT THINGS GOT CRAZY

BEEN A LONG WEEK

FEEL LIKE BEING LAZY

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

GOT PLACES TO GO

ALWAYS ON THE RUN

LOTS OF COMMITMENTS

HAVING GREAT FUN

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

WE NEED TO TALK

LETS DO LUNCH

THIS WEEK'S NO GOOD

TOO MUCH OF A CRUNCH

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

THOUGHT ABOUT YOU

THE OTHER DAY

FELT A BIT UNEASY

WHAT'S THERE TO SAY

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

SINCE WE TALKED LAST

THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED

CAN WE TALK NOW

PLEASE LISTEN I PLEAD

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

TOOK YOU FOR GRANTED

PAID A GREAT COST

NOW HUMBLY REALIZE

WITHOUT YOU I'M LOST

YOU KNOW HOW IT IS

ED ROSSER

WIND BENEATH MY WING

WHEN THE HARD TIMES OF OUR LIVES

BEND US TO THE GROUND

CHRIST IS THERE TO HOLD US

HIS ANGELS WILL SURROUND

MY BROKENNESS AND FAILURES

HAVE BROUGHT ME THIS REWARD

SURVIVAL IS NOT POSSIBLE

WITHOUT CHRIST AS MY LORD

NO LONGER WILL I BUILD

MY LIFE ON SINKING SAND

I CHOSE TO FOLLOW CHRIST

AND LIVE BY HIS COMMAND

THIS DAY FORTH I JOURNEY

ACCOMPANIED BY THE KING

THAT HE MAY BE, EVERLASTINGLY

THE WIND BENEATH MY WING.

ED ROSSER

WHO AM I?

I am one of a kind, priceless in worth,

uniquely special and everlastingly loved.

The past is the past and I will no longer be held prisoner by its lies.

My value comes from my relationship with God not approval from another human being.

I believe I am a precious child of God comforted by his presence watching over my life.
