Where Could I Go?

Words and music by James B. Coats

Liv-ing be-low in this old sin-ful world,
Hard-ly a com-fort can af-ford;
Striv-ing a-lone to face temp-ta-tions sore,
Where could I go but to the Lord?


Chorus:

Where could I go,

O where could I go,
Seek-ing a ref-uge for my soul?
Need-ing a friend to help me in the end,
Where could I go but to the Lord?



Neigh-bors are kind, I love them ev-ery one,
We get a-long in sweet ac-cord;
But when my soul needs man-na from a-bove,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Life here is grand with friends I love so dear,
Com-fort I get from God's own Word;
Yet when I face the chill-ing hand of death,
Where could I go but to the Lord?

POWER OF PRAYER








Father,

I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now!
Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power.
Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to them at this very
moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace &
where there is self-doubting, release a renewed
confidence in Your ability to work through them.

Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to
give them understanding, patience, & strength as they
learn submission to Your leading. Where there is
spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by
revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into a
greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal
Your love, and release to them Your courage.

Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and
break its hold over my friends' life. Bless their
finances, give them greater vision, and raise up
leaders, and friends to support, and encourage them.
Give each of them discernment to recognize the demonic
forces around them, and reveal to them the power they
have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things
in Jesus' name!


In Christian love,

Your Friend in Jesus


- Amen






Open the Window



Open the window into your life ...
Let the light of the Lord brighten your day.
You have been in the dark long enough ...
Let Him guide and show you the way.

Open the door to your heart ...
Let Jesus lead you out into the sun ...
Let Him comfort you as you walk ...
He is the One ... Let His will be done.

Give the keys to your heart to Him ...
Let Him have entry into your life
And you will know the peace He gives
For in knowing Him, there is no strife.

There is no other caretaker for your soul.
You can trust the Lord to care for you,
To protect you, to love you like no other.
He will lead you down Heaven's avenue.
