Stay Calm

3 Replies

Image result for calm

I see a lot of people

Who panic at the news

That fills our ears and eyes most every day

It seems the world’s in chaos

And nothing  comes out right

Killings, bombings, protests are the way

 

But I know a secret

To rid myself of fear

And every time it works just like a charm

I simply trust in Jesus

And He fills me with peace

He says He’ll always hold me inHis arms

 

So when you’re feeling panicked

And your trouble way to much

Why not turn to Jesus Christ for peace

He always is the answer

And He will never fail

To calm your soul and fear will be released

This one thing I know

Is that God always bestows

His gifts to all of those

Who love His son

The list s oh so long

Of gifts that now belong

To those who now belong

To Jesus Christ, God’s son

 

His love and His forgiveness

His joy and His sweet peace

His mercy and His grace

His hope and healing too

His deliverance and love

His Spirit and Eternal Life

The list goes on and on

Because He’s generous to us

 

He gives more than enough

To show us His strong love

He’ll always be right there

To hear my every prayer

Crossing Over

7 Replies

I was drowning

A mountain of sin  encompassed me

And I had no way out

Then I heard about Jesus

And His love for me

And His sacrifice to take away

my sin

And I took the jump

From sinner to saint

From sorrow to joy

From turmoil to peace

From doubt to faith

From worry to hope

From guilty to forgiven

From Hell to Heaven

Crossing over was easy

Won’t you take the jump?

Born Again

1 Reply

I was born to be holy; I was born to be free

I was born to take part in His ministry

I was born when the spirit came in like a dove

I was born when I accepted God’s own son

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

 

I was born to be righteous in Christ alone

I was born to live here but make heaven my home

I was born to praise Jesus with all of my heart

I was born to serve Him and to do my part

 

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder why

The God of the Heavens would come here to die

When I think of the mercy and grace He displayed

I can’t help but worship His wonderful name

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

What is Your Passion

2 Replies

Our world has turned love

Into lust

And it is called passion

But passion is so much more

More than lust

More than emotion

More than a desire or need

Passion is what you pour your heart into

Your life into

Your soul  into

Your mind into

Your strength into

The Word says

Love the Lord your God

with all your heart

And all your mind

And all your soul

And all your strength

In other words

Be passionate about Jesus

In One Piece

My life was out of control

Sin abounded

Trouble lurked on every side

Emotions were fragile

Mind wandered endlessly

 

I felt as if I was falling apart

Piece by piece

 

But then

A friend

Introduced me to

His friend

Whose name us Jesus

 

He rook all my broken pieces

Put them together in His love

And now I feel whole again

 

One piece

I have peace

In Jesus

No Fairy Tale

Once upon a time I was a sinner
Caught up in a world of shame
I didn’t have much hope
And I really couldn’t cope
With the fact that I just could not change

Then I heard about a man named Jesus
They said He was the only Son of God
Because of His great love
He came down from above 
And sacrificed His life upon a cross

They told me if I’d just accept His mercy
And ask Him to come in my heart
He’d wipe away my sin
And give me peace within
And I would have a brand new start

I cried out and I asked Him to forgive me
And told Him I would make Him Lord
And now I have new life
‘Cause Jesus made things right 
I’ll live hap’ly ever after evermore 

Precious Gifts

1 Reply

When I came to Jesus and asked Him to save

I knew I had little to give

He took what I had, and washed it away

And gave in return precious gifts

 

I gave Him my sorrows for all of the things

That I never seem to do right

He gave me His joy, unspeakable joy

Oh what a sheer delight

 

I gave Him my troubles, and many they were

They compass me every day

He gave me His peace, a peace so complete

Too wonderful to explain

 

I gave Him my doubts, and the fears in my life

They buried me in deep despair

He gave me His faith, so that mountains would move

If I’d call to Him in prayer

 

I gave Him my hurts, my aches and my pains

It seems they’re new every day

He gave me His healing, complete and secure

He heals me in every way

 

I gave Him my thoughts that the future was bleak

That nothing was there in the end

He gave me His hope, eternally sure

Now I know I will see Him again

 

I gave Him my life and my heart and my soul

It seemed I had messed them all up

He gave me salvation, and new life began

I’m free from all that can corrupt

 

These precious gifts, and so many more,

His mercy and grace has supplied

I just go to Him, and lay them all down

And He gives to me a new lfe.

Unperplexed

Leave a reply

Perplexed is a word that we often use

When seeing the plight of this world

There seems to be conflict on every side

And everything’s up in a swirl

 

If we could just reach out in love and not hate

As Jesus would have us to do

Perplexed is a word that would soon disappear

As we follow the golden rule
