Freely Given

5 Replies

When I observe the heavens and the way the stars are placed
I cannot help but stand and be amazed
When I observe the earth and all the beauty it contains
I cannot help but give God all the praise

When I observe a sinner that repents in earnest prayer
I cannot help but marvel at God’s grace
When I observe a life that by His mercy has been changed
I cannot help but lift my voice in praise

Of all the observations we can make upon this earth
And all the things that God supplies us with
No greater thing will mesmerize our hearts and souls alike
Than the love that God through Christ so freely gives

Change of Direction

1 Reply

Sometimes changes come slowly
Like growing your hair real long
Sometimes they come a bit quicker
Like dying that hair summer blonde

Then there are times change is sudden
Your life takes a turn quite abrupt
One day your steeped in darkest sin
The next day true joy erupts

That is what happens when Jesus
Is asked to come into your life
He brings with Him peace and hope
He makes you feel more alive

If you need a change of direction
If your life is following doom
Today you can make a difference
Just open your heart and make room

A River Flows

9 Replies

A river flows from Calvary
Washing my sin away
The blood of Jesus flows so free
Sweet meercy from above

As grace has overcome my past
I pray the you’ll use me
To send a rivulet of love
To all I come to meet

For God so loved the world
That He sent His only Son
Now He sends me to share His grace
Each day to everyone

Paisley Rainbows

3 Replies

I’ve seen pink elephants in a drunken dream
Acid rainbows in a paisley scheme
Horror movies that made me scream
These things all have stuck in my mind

These eyes have seen much in their sixty plus years
But the notable act that will bring the most tears
Is when someone accepts the love Jesus brings near
As He washes over them His grace so divine

There is something about a soul being saved
That brings out much joy in in an ocean-like wave
If you don’t know Him why not call out today
He’ll give a new heart and a new lease on life

Try to Scare

Leave a reply

I used to be a paper boy

So many years ago

A long and uphill road I walked

With daily news in tow

It never failed along the route

A cur would try to scare

But I delivered faithfully

Ignoring dog beware

When circumstances come in life

That rob us of our peace

God is right there to come beside

And set our minds at ease

Never turn away from troubles

That would test your faith

But joyfully walk on with hope

That answers won’t be late

Colaborating With God

1 Reply

They say that I have a way with words

It seems that they might be right

When i sit down to write a story

My fingers just start to take flight

It’s really hard to explain it

So I will not elaborate

I’ll simply say God guides my finger

With Him I colaborate

From start to finish i marvel

At what’s flowing out of me

I’ll give the Lord all the glory

Without Him this blog would not be

The Bonus on Top

2 Replies

This world can give much that we all hunger for
Great riches and fame and power untold
A bunch of good friends and a family too
All of these things we can see and can hold

But Jesus bestows on us much greater gifts
His love and mercy bring peace to our life
Joy, faith and hope come so freely from Him
All because He paid your sin sacrifice

If you are missing these great gifts today
Why don’t you come to the Savior’s side
He gave these gifts to all who obey
With the bonus on top of eternal life

Competing Sources

1 Reply

So many things in this world
Are not clear at all
With news reporting differently
On stories near and far

To sort out truth is difficult
To know who’s right is hard
Both sides pick their favorite source
And arguments are made

As far a heaven i concerned
The Bible is not vague
Jesus said be born again
He told us He the way

If you have a question
That concerns eternity
Please put it in the comments
I’ll answer as God leads

Basking In Liberty

1 Reply

I want to have more of Jesus
More of His love and His grace
More of the joy He gives me
I want to see His face

I want to partake of His blessings
Abundant they are to me
I want to live in His fullness
And bask in His liberty

There’s only one way to do this
I must daily abide in His word
His life-giving message is written
So I can know just what’s in store

His promises are everlasting
His mercy and grace will endure
As long as I stay close beside Him
And make Him my Savior and Lord
