5. Shady Green Pastures – The Grace Thrillers
[Verse 1] You did not create me to worry
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, You did not create me to fear
God leads His dear children along; But You created me to worship daily
Where the cool water's flow, bathes the weary one's feet, So Ima leave it all right here
God leads His dear children along.
My hands are raised because I surrender
[Chorus] Your will is what's best for me
Some through the waters, some through the flood, I worship You because You're Jehovah Jireh
Some through the fire, but all through the blood; I bow before the King of Kings
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song,
In the night season and all the day long. No more crying no more complaining
I believe Your word is true
[Verse 2] Lord You promised never to leave me lonely
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, So this is what I'm going to do
God leads His dear children along;
And sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night, I will trust in You Lord
God leads His dear children along. I will trust in You Lord
I will put my trust in You
[Chorus]11

Do you trust me Of all your tribulations,
God cares so much for each one When things aren’t going right, Everything that you go through,

Blood-bought and pure; the When there’s no one you can talk to,
Potter’s pride No one to hold your hand?
Dressed in white linen; the High
King’s bride. Do you trust me
When there’s warring in your soul,
When there’s darkness all around you
And you’re left out in the cold?
Do you trust me
When evil is against you,
When there’s nowhere left to run,
And you can’t find the truth?
Do you trust me?
I need to ask you this,
‘Cause you don’t always know,
I’m there in the midst18
2. The Road of Faith: M.S. Lowndes 3. On the Potter’s Wheel: Deborah Ann Belka
Shine your light, O Lord, If we’re to be transformed,
So that I may see, on the Potter’s wheel
Just where I am heading then as the clay…
And what’s in front of me we must be still.
Your word is the light, The process is not fast,
a lot of time it will take
The lamp unto my feet
so the Potter’s image
It may not light far ahead
into us He can make.
Nor show me where it’s steep
The clay needs to be soft,
But it gives enough light it must be willingly pliable
For each step I take, so from its worthless state
Just enough to see ahead He can make it justifiable.
Along this road of faith
Once on the Potter’s wheel,
For this is what I surely is the clay will wobble to and fro
As we walk with Jesus Christ, but, He controls the speed
The road that we are travelling on til His mercy begins to flow.
Is by faith, not by sight
The Potter molds His vessel,
and foresees the finished work
So shine your light, O Lord if there’s any cracks or flaws…
So we may see your way, the clay He is able to rework.
Though you only show in part
It’s enough for each new day. If we’re willing to be formed,
into something beautiful…
on the Potter’s wheel
we must remain flexible!19
