HEAR ME
Hear me Lord
As I call to you
There is work to do
I need you
When danger comes
Shield my life
Time is quick
I need you
When sin strikes
Cleanse my heart
Set me right
I need you
When works to do
And days are quick
Give me finishing grace
I need you
When foolishness
Rules my day
Come with wisdom
I need you
When I’m done
And life is through
Take me home
I need you
1/2/05 Rome CC
HOTEL LANCELOT
A place of warmth and beauty
By the Colosseum in Rome
Offering rooms for travelers
Treating them like they were at home
Every room is cared for
Every guest a friend
Breakfast is a blessing
After a good night in
Dinner is superb
Faris is a genius with food
Presenting meals created
As an act of art
Joyous conversation
At meals and in the lounge
The brightness of the Lancelot
Blesses and warms each heart
I’ve found a new home in Rome
Where I love to stay
They treat you like a friend
I feel welcome at the Lancelot

BREAD OF LIFE
Jesus is the bread of life
No hunger in Him
All the things I need to do
Power from Christ is true
He will willingly help me
On my journey of life
Whatever I need
Christ has the power to meet
If I need courage
I come to Christ
He will develop
Strength in me that is true
The Bread of Life
Is abundance for me
He has won the victory
And says I can be His
All of us have points of view
They will not stop Christ
From helping you
In spite of your view
The Bread of Life enables me
To come to God and see
The work He needs from me
I serve Christ and you
