"Guide us, teach us, and strengthen us, O Lord, we beseech Thee, until we become such as Thou wouldst have us be: pure, gentle, truthful, high-minded, courteous, generous, able, dutiful; for Thy honor and glory."

Charles Kingsley

 

He Knows How Much We Can Bear            Roberta Martin

 

"We are our heavenly Father's children

And we all know that He loves us over all.

Yet there are times when we find that we

answer to another's voice and call.

But if we are willing I know the Lord will teach us

His voice only to obey, no matter where

For He knows how much we can bear.

 

Just think of a time when we've asked

the question deep, deep down in our hearts,

We just say, 'Lord, what shall I do?

And then we confide in our friends and loved

ones, but oh they have troubles, too.

But there is a God and He rules earth and heaven,

And in Him you find relief from every pain and care.

You know the heavenly Father always answers

prayers and He knows how much we can bear."
