Die wenpaal

As jy 'n pad van geloof loop,

dan is daar noodwendig hoop,

het jy rede om aan te gaan,

want daar is Een wat jou verstaan.

Maar as jy kies om nie te glo

daar is Iemand in beheer daar bo,

dan moet jy self jou lot bepaal,

jou teen die lewensslae staal.

Ons albei moet oor kole loop,

die lewe sal ons daartoe noop,

maar jy doen dit in eie krag,

wyl Iemand my elk’ tree betrag.

En as jy dan alleen daar staan,

oorwinnaar in jou lewensbaan,

dan juig nie een saam met jou nie

en niemand gee 'n duit om nie.

Maar ek kom by 'n skare aan

wat my begroet met laggend-traan,

wat my met liefde daar ontmoet

en welkom heet met Goddelik groet.

Because You're You

When I think about Your love for me,

of how it sets me free to be

more than I could ever hope -

Your knowledge have enlarged my scope.

If I think of all that You have done,

how carefully You made us, everyone,

then I need to sing Your praise some more,

You’ve made life better than it was before.

Your words and actions are so kind

that it brings a fondness to my mind

Yet, I love You not for what You do,

but simply because my Lord, You’re You.

Morning joy

When I contemplate the morning

and the beauty that it brings,

it’s small wonder that I marvel

and my heart lifts as with wings.

For the splendour of the daylight

as it turns the night away,

casts the earth in peaceful brilliance,

keeps the night’s fears all at bay.

There is a song that springs up in me,

makes my heart feel overjoyed,

it is one that gives God glory

for the love by Him deployed.

Die ruit van my hart

Daar is 'n venster in my hart;

hy is daar vir my eie part.

Dit is daar sodat ek kan kyk

na hoe die wêreld buite lyk.

My hart is mos my veil’ge plek

waar ek my selfwees goed bedek,

waar ander nimmer kan inkom;

ander se praat en dink ver-stom.

Maar hierdie hart kom met 'n ruit

waar’k ongewensde mense stuit,

maar die van wie ek baie hou,

word met my hartsplek toevertrou.

So staan ek by my hart se ruit,

besluit wie daar kan in of uit,

en die wat ek na binne bring,

deel in my groter liefdeskring.

God's goodness

My heart is filled with joy today,

there is so much that I must say,

I’ll start off then by thanking You

for all the wondrous things You do.

You give me rest, and light and food,

and every breath I breathe is good,

but more than that, You give me peace,

and joy and love that will not cease.

My thoughts and words and actions too

testify of the goodness found in You,

for what else is there for me to say

when You walk with me throughout the day?

For the parents of the unborn

When I heard your news I wept

I wept for every child unborn

for every promise that went unkept

for this deep loss that you still mourn

When I heard your news I cried

lifting my voice towards our Lord

not to find out why they died

but to make sure He’d got the report

When I heard the news, He already knew

and He bent down to comfort you

His love was large, His words were few

but I was at peace for He’d know what to do
