GOD, GOODNESS AND GRACE by Doug Goddard

Jesus in You alone I hope

For you so deeply love me

Jesus in You alone I trust

For you have never failed me

Thought I am not perfect in any way

You lead me safely through each day

Jesus you are so good to me.

Jesus you are so good to me.

You are forever faithful

Even when I am untrue

You are forever with me

Even when I stray from you

I live my life in you each day

Surrounded by your presence in every way

Jesus you are so good to me.

Jesus you are so good to me.

Jesus my friend and guide

Holding me tight by Your grace

Jesus my rock and foundation

Saving me and taking my place

Made safe in Your arms I rest peacefully

For as your child I’m with you eternally

Jesus you are so good to me.

Jesus you are so good to me.

Blessed by goodness and gifts

Your love and care are the best

Filled with joy and peace

Your grace and mercy give me rest

Walking with You and never alone

My eyes set on You as You lead me home

Jesus you are so good to me.

Jesus you are so good to me.

Access-Life “3 in 3”: August 31, 2023 – The Ultimate Shelter: God

Hey there boys and girls of all ages and abilities!

We are sliding in on the last day of the month for our August Access-Life three in three but if you’ve been through storms like we have here in Florida you’ll love the message that God is our only true refuge.

Plus, you get to hear about our upcoming North Texas Expo trip where it is so hot that the chickens are laying omelets there (bonus joke for free thanks to Rachel Nicholson). :-) Hope you enjoy the video and have a God blessed week!

Access-Life “3 in 3”: July 31, 2023 – It is Amazing what You can do with God

Hey there boys and girls of all ages and abilities! As a special treat, Miss Hannah in Tennessee is going to bring you the July Access-Life 3 and 3. :-)

As usual we will have a very funny joke, relevant Bible verse and an update on ministry happenings but in this episod, you’ll also get to see a little bit more of Hannah’s heart as she shares about her experience at this year’s East Tennessee Expo.

Hope you all enjoy it and God bless everyone today in a special way. :-)

Access-Life “Stories from Belize” – Francisco’s Journey

Hey there boys and girls of all ages and abilities! After much encouragement from Leanne Goddard, we’ve started doing videos of some God stories from our Access-Life outreach in Belize this past April. God is always working and does amazing things. However, we often only get to see parts and pieces of His handy work but sometimes we get the privilege of seeing the bigger picture. So this is the first in a series of Belize story videos that we pray helps you see and understand what it is like living in a third world country with a disability. We hope you enjoy Francisco’s story on our YouTube channel. :-)

What better way to honor those who have given their lives so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have in America than by a respectful tribute, Access-Life “three in three” Memorial Day video for May. We hope you are blessed by this video and enjoy the day with a gratefulness towards those who have made it possible for us to live in freedom… Including Jesus. :-)

Access-Life “3 in 3”: April 30, 2023 – What are You Thinking?

What are you thinking? Good, hopeful and wholesome things hopefully. :) That’s where God want’s our minds to be as 2 Peter 3:1 says…as well as many other verses, too.

You see what we think about and dwell on effects our words, actions and even emotions. So check out what our Access-Life “three in three” has to say about our thinking and fix your eyes on Jesus which will help you walk on the waves of life!

You can also search “wholesome” on our lifelink.blog site for more thoughts and verses on these things. :)
