    About this ebook

    The Light

    Lord, as I kneel beside my bed
    And I begin to pray
    Your Spirit overwhelms me
    As I search for words to say.

    As I close my eyes and bow my head
    I see a shining light
    Coming closer towards me
    Brightening up the night.

    As I let the light surround me
    I keep perfectly still
    As silent tears fall, I say
    Father, help me to do Your Will.

    You pulled me out of the darkness
    When all my hope was gone
    You gently set me on my feet
    As Your Hand I leant upon.

    You showed me all the goodness Lord
    That I had never known
    And the seed You planted in me
    At last, has finally grown.



    Then a voice inside me spoke aloud
    Open your eyes child and see.
    The light around you will remain
    And forever more will be.

    I chose you a long, long time ago
    But it had to be your choice
    To break away from Satans power
    Now at last we can rejoice.

    The angels sang and also cried
    When you first came to me.
    They surrounded you with their love
    As you accepted The Holy Trinity

    Things will become hard at first
    As Satan begins to fight
    But keep at peace and dont forget
    The brightness of this light.

    Now its time for you to sleep
    And with you Ill remain
    Keep your faith and hang on to me
    And Ill take away your pain.

    Dont take away Your Light I said
    As it began to dim
    Do not be afraid, said the Lord
    As Ive planted the Light within.

      PICTURE ON THE WALL

      When I was just a girl so small

      I had a picture of an angel on my bedroom wall

      She was half in the sea and hanging on

      To a cross which God sent to make her strong

      I’d lie in bed and at the picture I’d stare

      Expecting some miracle to happen there

      But the miracle was already before my eyes

      For in my imagination I heard her cries!

      Reach out my child, don’t turn away

      Reach out for the cross for it’s here to stay

      I would quickly turn over in my bed

      And once more put my pillow over my head

      Hadn’t my mummy told me I’d been bad that day?

      And the devil would come and take me away?

      What was wrong with me? I’d tried to be good

      Like my angel on the wall, if only I could!

      I can’t remember when my picture was took

      From off my wall, all was left was the hook.

      I was growing up and out every night

      But I missed my picture which shew me the light

      I became a woman who loved a good time

      And I laughed at people who toed the line

      But deep down inside me no-one could tell

      I was living in torment and condemned to hell!

      I’d think of the picture I came to love

      And the Lord and the angels up above

      Why wasn’t I strong enough to forsake

      The evil around me in all its wake?

      For years and years I tried to understand

      Why the Lord didn’t help me when I needed His hand

      Where were you Lord when I made the call?

      Then I remembered the picture on the wall

      The angel with one hand reaching out to me

      While the other hand held on to the Cross in the sea

      I cried and wept and went into despair

      When I realised the truth, He was always there.

      Then one day my daughter invited me out

      To a gospel concert, then I knew without doubt

      That people can be loving, caring and kind

      And after all these years, I found peace of mind

      On my 65th birthday I actually went
