Things We Shunned

3 Replies

Give a little
Take a little
That’s the world today
Wrong is right
Right is wrong
You must all now obey

The problem is
The things we give
Are lifestyles from the past
Replacing them
With things we shunned
Our moral code has lapsed

When Jesus walked
Upon this earth
He was uncompromising
He told the truth
About God’s love
His word is justifying

The church are those
Who call Him Lord
The live in righteousness
Keep following
The word of God
His moral code is best

Fact Check

1 Reply

We hear speeches every day
Asking us to not be swayed
By someone who finds a way
To make a better life

Solemnly their plans they teach
Hoping we will hear their speech
Promising the best for each
End to all our strife

The next day people start to doubt
Fact checks show what their about
Good ideas are all thrown out
Thinking they are lies

In the end one truth will stand
Above all else throughout the land
Jesus died and rose again
His kingdom never dies

If you seek the truth today
Come to Jesus kneel and pray
He’s the truth the life the way
He will give you life

Close Call

8 Replies

The icy ponds greeted us out in the field
On a cold winter morning one day
My friend and I ventured out onto the ice
Then we got an idea for play

Let’s see how big a hole we can make
By throwing these rocks where it’s thawed
One by one we threw stones at the water that showed
It’s resistance held us in great awe

I finally decided to grab a big rock
I walked out to break up a chunk
But under me was a soft spot I’d say
And into the water I sunk

My friend looked in panic as I went down twice
Then he grabbed a big tree by the pond
He laid on the ice and stretched out the branch
I grabbed it the third time down

He pulled me out by that branch that day
There’s no doubt he saved my life
We hurried on back through the field to his house
Where we warmed ourselves huddled inside

Through sixty years we two are still friends
We still fondly remember that day
Later on He led me to Jesus my Lord
What a friend He has been all the way

 

NOTE”  This is a true story!

Sweet Grace

3 Replies

Awake to the dawn of the sun as it rises
A new day He’s given to lift up His praise
A walk toward the sunset to see the bright colors
That glorify God in our life everyday

These are the typical ways that we see Him
All in the splendor that He gifts us with
These are the times that we lift our praises
For He has given to us such great gifts

Yet even even in sorrow our hearts should still praise Him
Even in doubt we should bow at His throne
For God is still there always walking beside us
In good times and bad, we are never alone

Don’t wait for good times and hold in your worship
Don’t wait until you think all is in place
God always loves you no matter your trail
He will come cover you with His sweet grace

Working Hands

1 Reply

Some say cotton
Some say wool
Some say polyester
Sewers sew
Seamers seam
Talent from ancestors

Lives are touched
Hearts are glad
By the gifts of fabric
Working hands
Bring rewards
That are so fantastic

Long ago
Nail scarred hands
Stretched out wide for you
Bringing life
Offering hope
God says I love you

Don’t be a Parakeet

5 Replies

I heard a mockingbird
Saying things he should not say
Then I heard a parakeet
That would mimic all the day

I thought about the backbiters
Who come to church for prey
Then thought about the gossipers
Who spread lies every way

We Christians are above all that
We should be speaking truth
Lifting up all those around
With words that lift and sooth

Let’s put aside the nasty words
And take on all that’s good
Then perhaps we’d see a change
In our declining world

A Higher Plateau

3 Replies

Is your peace fading fast from your trials
Are you losing your joy day by day
Do you still have great hope for the future
Or does this world just seem to betray

Perhaps it is time for a retsart
Take your life to a higher plateau
It’s easy to find a new pathway
That will forge a new life for you

Jesus died on a cross long ago
To provide all these blessings no charge
Just accept Him and make Him your Lord
Then you’ll find life won’t be so hard
To provide all these blessings to you

The Clouds Will Part

2 Replies

I had a premonition
It was not intuition
It was a thought that filled my soul and mind
That sooner than we think
In time that’s just a blink
The clouds will part and startle all mankind

Jesus will come calling
For all His faithful followers
To join Him in the heaven’s up above
Have you made Him your Savior
Have you made Him Lord forever
Please ask forgiveness now
Make Him the Lord of all
Then you will join the faithful in the clouds

Miscolored

3 Replies

Purple trees against a green sky
Polka dot clouds passing by
Red grass covers the ground
A barking dog makes not a sound

I float above the ground so light
My arms spread out and I take flight
Above the tallest mushrooms soar
The alligators cheer and roar

Is this my imagination
Or unfettered fascination
With things that just can’t be
Things I know I’ll never see

But in this world where truth is rare
There is one truth that I can share
Jesus love you this I know
For the bible tells me so

Groupies of Nature

3 Replies

A gaggle of geese
A Flock of doves
A battery of barracudas

A swarm of bees
A herd of sheep
Leopards group in leaps

A host of sparrows
A buzzard wake
Alligators congregate

All these critters
Made by God
Creator of all things
Spoke the Word
Jesus Christ
He’s the King of Kings

All these critters
Give Him praise
Every single day
Should not we
The man He loves
Lift His holy name
