Keep me near my God keep me near so I do not stray, for your wing is my roof and your arm is my pillow. Keep me near, so I may sleep.
Save me my King for my sins weigh heavy on my soul. for it is you and only you can wash them away, you are the one my King, there is no other.
And please speak to me Holy Spirit. Move me to the place were I need to be.
I know that your way is the best. I have no place here in the world. No, my
place is in The Kingdom of God.
I by myself am dead but with you, Jesus, I live. For life itself is in you. Who
else can say, “I am the God who saved my children from sin. I am the God who
gave them life. And I, and only I, am the God who loves them.”
So help me, My God. Help me live for you.
Amen.

No Better Dream
By Joseph C. Collins
There is no better dream my God than to dream of serving you.
There is no better dream my Lord than to dream of Your praise being sung all over the Earth.
There is no better dream my Father than to dream of seeing Your Son on the throne where he rightfully belongs.
There is no better dream my King than to dream of your Kingdom come and all the rest fade away.
There is no better dream than to dream of the time when I’m in your arms.
My God I wish I could say that all that I dream is of you but I do not
So every time I lay my head on my pillow I lie down with hope.
For there is no better dream than to dream of you my God.
There is no better dream my God than to dream of serving you.
There is no better dream my Lord than to dream of Your praise being sung all over the Earth.
There is no better dream my Father than to dream of seeing Your Son on the throne where he rightfully belongs.
There is no better dream my King than to dream of your Kingdom come and all the rest fade away.
There is no better dream than to dream of the time when I’m in your arms.
My God I wish I could say that all that I dream is of you but I do not
So every time I lay my head on my pillow I lie down with hope.
For there is no better dream than to dream of you my God.

His Mighty Wing
By Joseph C. Collins
The storm has come, my God, and I am here under your wing shivering in fear.
As I shiver in fear, it is You who are being rained upon. As I shiver in fear, it is You who the thunder and lighting clashes around.
As I shiver in fear, it is You who is bruised by the hail that falls from the sky.
But as I shiver in fear it is you who say, “Be still my child, for this will all be over soon.
The rain will cease and the clouds will scatter. The sun will shine, the ground will be dry, and all will be right again.
“Until that day, my child, stay here under my wing and I will keep you safe.”
