Do you ever wonder where you would be if you hadn't asked the Lord into your life?  Just think about what you would have missed out on - wonderful people to fellowship with, people to help you in your times of need, but most of all knowing that, no matter what, there is someone there to catch you if you fall.  No matter what we have done in the past, if we truly repent and ask the Lord to take complete control of our lives, we know that He will always be there beside us.  How do we know this?  It is written in His Word, so it must be true, because God cannot lie.

DEAR LORD, I OFTEN WONDER

Dear Lord, I often wonder
Where I'd be if I'd not met You,
For in my whole life no-one has loved me
In the same way that You do.

Whenever I felt lost or lonely
I never knew which way to turn,
But now I know You're always there
When for Your loving arms I yearn.

When my foes rise up against me
You are my fortress, safe and strong –
Going through life with You beside me
Is exactly where I belong.

Your Word has been my guiding light
Every moment of every day,
And Your Spirit dwells within me
So from Your paths I will not stray.

So, Father, I want to thank You –
I lift my voice to You in praise –
And I promise I will follow You,
Both now and all my days.
