This has been my grandmother's (who raised me btw)
and my favorite poem. Esp. before I'd go to school or work.
QUIT SUPPOSIN'
Don't start your day by supposin'
that trouble is just ahead,
It's better to stop supposin'
and start with prayer instead,
And make it a prayer of thanksgiving
for the wonderful things God has wrought
Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset,
God's gifts that are free
and not bought-
For what is the use of supposin'
the dire things that could happen to you
And worry about some misfortune
that seldom if ever comes true-
But instead of just idle supposin'
step forward to meet each new day
Secure in the knkowledge God's near you
to lead you each step of the way-
For supposin' the worst things will happen
only helps to make them come true
And you darken the bright, happy moments
that the dear Lord has given to you-
So if you desire to be happy
and get rid of the misery of dread
Just give up supposin' the worst things
and look for the best things instead.

JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
Jesus, lover of my soul
Jesus, I will never let you go
You’ve taken me
From the miry clay
Set my feet upon a rock
And now I know
I love you
I need you
Though my world may fall
I’ll never let You go
My Savior
My closest friend
I will worship you
Until the very end
Integrity’s Hosanna! Music
