Pictures of Nature

1 Reply

In this world there are many beautiful things
Like a sunset at night and a bird on the wing
But nothing compares to the cool autumn days
When foliage turns and ripens with age

I used to live in New England you see
Fall is the one time that homesick hits me
Every year we would ride through the mountains and hills
Seeking the colors that gave us all thrills

Yellows and reds oranges too
Blue spruce and evergreens added their hue
Purple was there to add to the sight
To top it all off was the brilliant sunlight

I’m so glad that my God created this place
To be of such beauty and filled with His grace
He paints all the pictures of nature each day
So you can be blessed as you travel your way

Don’t forget to give thanks for His wonderful gift
Of sunrise and sunset and hillsides all lit
Give thanks for the gift of His Son every day
Who died to take all your sins away

Oh The Blood

Leave a reply

The blood of Jesus rescued me
From living Satan’s destiny
I am not longer bound to sin
His grace has washed me from within

The blood of Jesus purchased me
From living life in misery
I am no longer bound by shame
I am alive in Jesus name

Oh the blood
Oh the blood
Washes white as snow
Oh the blood
Oh the blood
By His blood I am made whole

The blood of Jesus made me free
Hell is not my destiny
I now am bound by His great love
A home in heaven waits above

Oh the blood
Oh the blood
Washes white as snow
Oh the blood
Oh the blood
By His blood I am made whole

The Day Escapes

Leave a reply

It happens way to often
Because my wandering mind
Is concentrated elsewhere
And I lose track of time
The day escapes me quickly
And suddenly I find
My birthday wish is once again
Belated and behind

It’s common to be late
We think it’s quite all right
But soon will come a time
When late will pay a price
If you do not know Jesus
When the trumpet sounds
We’ll all rise to heaven
And you’ll stay on the ground

Today’s the day to make the choice
Make Jesus Christ your King
You’ll bow before Him one day
Why not give Him everything
This world and all its riches
Will soon decay and die
But if you do know Jesus
You’ll have eternal life

Fly Away

1 Reply
It won’t be long

The day will come
The trumpet shall resound
And just like that
Well blink our eyes
And rise up from the ground
We’ll go to meet Him
In the air
All those who call Him Lord
Then with the angels
We’ll rejoice
With Him forevermore
Now is the time
Do not delay
To heed the harvest moon
Tell of His love
To all you meet
The Lord is coming soon
They must accept
His sacrifice
Upon the cross that day
Then when He comes
Upon the clouds
We all can fly away

Limitless

This world is full of questions
Asking what this life is for
Why have we been put on earth
What purpose is in store
Some people look for answers
In horoscopes and stars
Some might find a talisman
To find out who they are

There’s really only one true way
To find your destiny
Give your life to Jesus Christ
And He will give you peace
He is the creator
Of everything we see
That is why He is the one
Who knows what you shall be

He has a plan for everyone
No matter what their size
He wants to take you in His arms
And show you what is wise
He wants the best for you each day
His plan is limitless
If you’ll just trust your life to Him
You truly will be blessed

Our Salvation

Life Overflowing

Leave a reply

When I think of His mercy
His grace
His passion
His wonderful love
That flows from above

When I see His creation
Hear the birds
See the sunset
His tapestry flows
As nature unfolds

When I think that He came down
From His throne
To die alone
He took my sins
Gave me peace within

When I think that He rose again
Seated on high
On heaven’s throne
He prepares a place
I will see His face

My enraptures my heart
Fills my life overflowing
I am overwhelmed by Jesus
He comforts my soul
His blessings surround me
What a glorious Lord we serve

Stricken With Love

Leave a reply

She walked in the church
And sat right behind me
Her beauty transcended
My jaw hit the floor floor
I’d requested she come
Though we never had met
Yet when church was over
Her talk was ignored

That night she returned
As I walked through the door
Our eyes met so sweetly
I was stricken with love
The next night a service
We both would attend
The next day I wept
As back home I drove

Halfway on my trip
I stopped at an inn
Opened the Bible
There in the stand
Wrote her a letter
If I come to her
Will she by my girl
Our life would begin

Arriving back home
I gave my notice
Before I had heard
She accepted my offer
Two months went by
She came with some friends
To bring me to Iowa
My old life was over

Three months later
We married at last
Three children three towns
Forty years have now passed
I can still see that lithe form
That walked in the room
Her eyes full of life
Are a memory that’s cherished

Grace & Mercy

Mercy Wins

When I’m in a battle
I know you are there
To strengthen me for the fight
When sickness is looming
I know I’ll survive
My healing comes through your stripes

Your grace is the greatest
When trouble surrounds me
My faith is uplifted when trials arise
So I will have joy
When my life faces setbacks
I know you are guiding my life

Mercy wins Mercy wins
In ever dark storm Mercy wins
You will not leave me Helpless at all
In every test In every trial
Mercy wins Mercy wins

I will walk on today
Knowing you’re with me
Holding me close in your loving arms
Prayer with Thanksgiving
Instead of worry
Will bring a peace to my longing heart

I will rejoice
I will rejoice
Always in all things
I will rejoice

Mercy wins Mercy wins
In ever dark storm Mercy wins
You will not leave me Helpless at all
In every test In every trial
Mercy wins Mercy wins

The Believers Life

Full Volume

Leave a reply

I sleep at night in the basement
Which can get rather boring
My plight is due to just one thing
The sonorous sound of my snoringpoem,

There’s another time in my life
When a different sonorous sound
Is enjoyed by the people before me
As I lead worship to the Lord

Then we enter into the throne room
Where the Lamb sits on the throne
We sing full volume together
As we worship Christ alone
