He placed me in a little cage,
Away from gardens fair;
But I must sing the sweetest songs
Because He placed me there.
Not beat my wings
against the cage
If it's my Maker's will,
But raise my voice to heaven's gate
And sing the louder still!

My God Carries Me

Though friends may abandon and dreams may grow dim;
High hopes fall around me, I’ll still trust in Him.

Can’t trust my emotions The way that I feel,
The fact is - God loves me, That’s all that is real.

Yes, my body is failing My memory’s poor; My ship is past sailing, Old age at the door.

Still, I know God is faithful, What He says is true; He sees all the heartache that I’m going through.

So- I’ll turn to my Jesus, and take in His Word; and watch all my worries fly off like a bird.
Hallelujah, I’m happy, Content just to be In arms strong and steadfast
As God carries Me!
