Words in Due Time

5 Replies

This world is a quite often cruel
A place where our trust meets the test
We reach out in love
Then feel a quick shove
Pushing away all our best

Then others will be nice to you
They will speak gentle words so kind
But just turn your back
They take those words back
You’re betrayed by their words in due time

When we follow Jesus He loves us
With a love that is tender and true
We can trust in Him
Through thick and through thin
He’ll never once betray you

This Chaotic World

2 Replies

I had tried to get much knowledge
I had tried to find true joy
I had tried to find real love
But it all was one big ploy

I was frantic to find something
That would make my life seem full
But emptiness was all I found
In this chaotic world

It was then I found my Savior
Actually, He came to me
He called my name out load
He said He’d set me free

No more would I lack comfort
Or peace, joy, hope or love
He would give them all to me
If I’d call to Him above

Ever since that day
I have lifted up my praise
To the one who called to me
And saved me by His grace

Time for a Haircut?

3 Replies

I used to go to barbershops
I’d have them cut my hair
These days my wife is chosen
To give me my hair care

I must admit in all those years
Of barbering in shops
I never saw a quartet
Singing as they chopped

I love to sing with gusto
With a quartet of my own
Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Join me from their throne

We sing loud Hallelujahs
And praises to the King
He is worthy of my praise
To Him my song I sing

Wiggle and Waggle

Leave a reply

I remember miniskirts from teenage years gone by
They wiggled and they waggled and my eyes were satisfied
But then came micro skirts
They were always so much worse
Very little was concealed from my eyes so open wide

That lust has long been gone sine I gave my heart away
To my wonderful sweet Jesus who died for me that day
Crucified upon a tree
Now His blood has set me free
My sinful ways are gone and His love is on display

Time is something we all have
Using it is good nor bad
Time can make us glad or sad
Depending what you do

Today I urge you recognize
If your time inefficient flies
If it does then realize
You have to make a change

Find a way to help someone
Find a way to spread some love
Give a smile as bright as sun
And make a better world

Only a Mask

2 Replies

He is so honest
He is so true
He is so righteous
He’s never blue
He is so loyal
Trustworthy too
He’s just as good as can be

This is a faceless man you see
Trying so hard to make them believe
All of the good things he can be
But all of it’s only a mask

Inside he’s hurting
Inside he’s worn
Inside he’s lusting
Inside he’s torn
Inside he’s wishing
He’d never been born
He’s really not what he seems

I know this guy because He was me
I was the guy who seemed so complete
I was just drifting away to sea
Wondering where I would land

Then I found Jesus
I found new life
Then I found mercy
God reconciled
Joy fills my days now
Peace is all mine
Born again only by grace

Wandered Off?

1 Reply

I grew up in Sunday School
Attended every week
When teenage years arrived
I even helped to teach

I went astray much later
Early twenties were a mess
My life became a party
Of God I could care less

But even with that background
Of church at every turn
The prospect of salvation
Was foreign as a term

Then I heard one day
That Jesus died for me
Despite all of my past
I still His child could be

I quit the party life
I gave my life to Him
And now I am set free
From all my guilt and sin

If you have wandered off
And God seems far away
Ask Jesus for His grace
He’ll save your soul today

Be A Star

2 Replies

I see your sunny smile
I see your well-kept hair
I see your stunning outfit
I see the shoes you wear

I see your sparkling eyes
I see your earrings bright
I see your walking gait
As you stroll past in the light

These things are all wonderful
They mean so much to you
But what is most important
Is invisible to view

I love the mercy that you show
To others facing need
I see such grace in words you use
They’re kind and very sweet

I hear you say the best of things
To all who come around
I know you’re thinking good thoughts
About those who are down

You see it’s not the way we look
That makes us be a star
It’s how we act toward others
That makes us who we are

Aware

Leave a reply

I look straight in the mirror
Getting ready for the day
Hope I look identical
To what the image says

I get all straight and handsome
I comb my hair out right
Shaved and clean and ready
To get out in the light

One thing I can’t quite fix up
While standing in that place
Is attitude that I will bring
Into this bright new day

That needs to start beforehand
While on my knees in prayer
Asking God to make this day
Be one that I’m aware

Aware of hurting all around
Aware of needs I see
Aware that people need a smile
They need a friend from me

Though I may look all perfect
On the outside to the world
I need to make sure inside
I am walking in the Word

Settled

2 Replies

Darkness meets my eyes
As I awaken from my sleep
I thank the Lord for breath
And that my soul He keeps

I rise to greet the morn
As the light begins to show
The pink blush on the clouds
Comes before the rising glow

As I watch the changing colors
At the breaking of the day
I can’t help giving thanks
For this day that He has made

For I know that He’ll be with me
From dawn until the dusk
I’ll  never feel the need
To depend on any luck

When He is with me all that comes
Will only make me strong
For in His arms I’m settled
And to Him I belong
