If we but had the eyes to see
God’s face in every cloud,
If we but had the ears to hear
His voice above the crowd,
We’d find the peace we’re seeking,
the kind no man can give—
The peace that comes from knowing
He died so we might live!
Helen Steiner Rice
When life becomes a problem
much too great for us to bear,
Instead of trying to escape,
let us withdraw in prayer—
For withdrawal means renewal
if we withdraw to pray
And listen in the quietness
to hear what God will say.
Helen Steiner Rice
What is love? No words can define it—
It’s something so great
only God could design it.
For love means much more
than small words can express,
For what we call love is very much less
Than the beauty and depth
and the true riches of
God’s gift to mankind—
His compassionate love.
Helen Steiner Rice
Kings and kingdoms all pass away—
Nothing on earth endures. . .
But the love of God who sent His Son
Is forever and ever yours!
Helen Steiner Rice
A warm, ready smile or a kind,
thoughtful deed
Or a hand outstretched
in an hour of need
Can change our whole outlook
and make the world bright
Where a minute before
just nothing seemed right—
It’s a wonderful world
and it always will be
If we keep our eyes open
and focused to see
The wonderful things
man is capable of
When he opens his
heart to God and
His love.
– Helen Steiner Rice –
What more can we ask of our Father
Than to know we are never alone,
That His mercy and love are unfailing,
And He makes all our problems
His own.
Helen Steiner Rice
His love knows no exceptions,
so never feel excluded—
No matter who or what you are,
your name has been included.
Helen Steiner Rice
You need nothing more than
God’s guidance and love
To ensure the things that you’re
most worthy of. . .
So trust in His wisdom
and follow His ways,
And be not concerned
with the world’s empty praise,
But seek first His kingdom,
and you will possess
The world’s greatest riches,
which is true happiness.
Helen Steiner Rice
God’s love endures forever—
what a wonderful thing to know
When the tides of life run against
you and your spirit is downcast
and low. . .
God’s kindness is ever around you,
always ready to freely impart
Strength to your faltering spirit,
cheer to your lonely heart.
Helen Steiner Rice
Don’t doubt for a minute
that this is not true,
For God loves His children
and takes care of them, too. . .
And all of His treasures
are yours to share
If you love Him completely
and show that you care. . .
And if you walk in His footsteps
and have faith to believe,
There’s nothing you ask for
that you will not receive.
