Tried and True

This world is full of wonder
This world is full of life
This world is full of sorrow
This world is full of strife

This world is full of chaos
This world is full of fear
This world is full of friendship
This world has love for me

So many different feelings
Flood our minds each day
We all have to determine
Which path we’re going to take

If you get discouraged
Because you turned aside
Take time to find patience
Within your daily life

You are His creation
His love is tried and true
Keep that promise close
His grace will cover you

On the Scheduler’s Time

I used to work in sales, selling little office things
I called on many customers who needed many blings
One place was a hatchery where chicks would incubate
They shipped them round the world before it was too late

The process of the warmer was to let the chicks mature
They had to hatch for shipment on the time of scheduler
They were always ready and the birds arrived on time
McMurray was the name of that customer of mine

The word of God within us is similar in ways
We read it and apply it to help us through our days
Then when the heat is on the word will bring us through
We get delivered at the time that only God did choose

When you are in a hot spot and don’t know what to do
Allow the word of God to rise inside of you
Just when you need encouragement the right verse will be shown
You will find His mercy in the midst of the unknown

Dog Days

I think some dogs look funny
But others say they’re cute
Little ones that seem to fold
A wrinkle in their suit

I guess I’m in my dog days
My wrinkles grow in length
Though I still feel much younger
I found my source of strength

It’s not in what this earth provides
Nor in it’s treasures vast
I get my strength from God above
His truth will always last

So if you find you’re drifting
Into your later years
Without much strength of spirit
I’ll whisper in your ear

Make Jesus Christ your Lord today
He’ll bring you a new life
Then when you need encouragement
His word will come alive

Ease Your Load

The anger I had when I was young
Was nasty and bitter and mean
I’d lash out with words that hurt and bebased
And often I’d say things obscene

Then one day I figured out how wrong I’d been
It’s a day I will never forget
My friend over years did provoke me to change
So I made a move I don’t regret

I asked Jesus to come change my life for the good
I made Him my Savior and Lord
Now my words show His mercy as blessings they give
To all who like kind gentle words

Do you need a change in your life today
Is your anger out of control
Jesus loves you and will answer your call
His blessings will ease your load

What a Thrill

When I learned about His mercy
And His wondrous love for me
I could not hold my praises
They came rushing out of me

I shouted hallelujah
When I settled in His peace
My heart was full of worship
With a sound that would not cease

Make a joyful noise
Shout for victory
Jesus Christ is Lord
He has set me free

Now my hope endures forever
I cam trust His saving grace
I can’t wait to get to heaven
Then I’ll look upon His face

Make a joyful noise
Shout for victory
Jesus Christ is Lord
He has set me free

What a day that will be
What a thrill that I shall see
My Savior and my Lord
Jesus Christ

Make a joyful noise
Shout for victory
Jesus Christ is Lord
He has set me free

Loops, Groups or Cute?

I remember when my kids were young
As they drew they would stick out their tongue
It would waggle and squirm
As the each took a turn
To drag different colors along

One of them scribbled in groups
Another just made little loops
The third one would move
The pencils so smooth
They’d meander so it looked cute

Our lives can are much the same
In groups or in loops or quite tame
But with Jesus along
My heart sings a song
I’ll never meander again

A Better Way

I’d been a mess most of my life
From high school on I caused much strife
My mouth was harsh with nasty words
My actions full of devilish works

I ran into a childhood friend
Who told that my life could mend
He said that Jesus loved me so
I doubted all the words he spoke

I went to visit him one day
Convinced there was a better way
I bowed my head and softly prayed
Then suddenly by life was changed

If you are headed down a road
That seems to leave you with a load
Cast all your cares on Christ today
He’ll  show you that better way.
