"Walk With Jehovah"

Jehovah cares for each of us
And takes us to his heart
And wraps around us love and warmth
It’s such a caring art
With wisdom, justice, love and power
Takes care of us each day
And with our heart and soul involved
We turn to him and pray
For guidance we now seek of him
To help with all our fear
For we know he is listening
And will our worries hear
So lean upon him heavily
Place all your burdens there
And he in turn will comfort you
For he is now aware
He’s seen your heart and soul exposed
As now to him you talk
He’ll wrap his arm around you close
And with you now he’ll walk

"With Strength of Jehovah"

There are times when the world will assail you
Leaving tendrils of terror behind
For a difficult passage you travel
But with strength of Jehovah you’ll find
He will shore up your castle for battle
And draw up your bridge to protect
For a ridge he will form all around you
And keep you there safe and erect
He will face all your foes in your conflict
Give you courage and strength to endure
He will carry your heart and your worries
Your soul he will thus reassure
As you lean on your heavenly father
Drawing strength now to face this ordeal
He will give you whatever is needed
And his love and comfort you’ll feel

"Drink Deep of His Word"

Escape the destiny
The world has in store
Reach out for the Kingdom
God's message explore
The words of the warning
Jehovah has said
Are there for protection
From things just ahead
So listen, that message
Is being expressed
Look deep in the scriptures
For you'll be impressed
So lean on Jehovah
Take in what you've heard
Absorb all the message
Drink deep of his word
He'll chase away shadows
Erase away pain
And wash away sorrows
And life you will gain
Hold tight to Jehovah
Keep him in your heart
Thus from his protection
You'll never depart
