Sometimes it’s nice to be on time
Be sure you mark the date
Big appointments can be very hard
We don’t want to be late
If circumstance would cause delay
The company might blink
But if it’s just me being me
My interview will stink
We all have a date coming up
When we will meet the King
Not thing can make you tardy
He controls everything
If we should not be ready
To accept His final call
The day He comes will be too late
Today give Him your all
In response to the daily prompt Tardy
Far off
Past the fields filled with snow
and dirt
and the residue from the harvest
Past the river
winding through the countryside
seemingly aimlessly
Past the tree lined river bed
that marks it’s path
through the fields
Past the small town
just east of here
small and quaint
nestled in the quiet earth
still asleep
There is where I see beauty
Streaming rays of beginning dawn
show on the horizon
clouds gilded with gold
others shimmering red
orange
yellow
As I watch the splendor
I am aware
acutely aware
God has graced me with one more day
In response to the daily prompt Horizon
Sometimes it seems very slow
Sometimes it goes too fast
Sometimes we don’t want any more
Sometimes we hope it lasts
Our time is one possession
We all have just the same
No matter what you do each day
There’s none that will remain
One day soon the Lord will come
He will come in a blink
If we have not accepted Him
Our life will really stink
I pray you’ll take a little time
To think about this fact
When you really think it through
I pray you will react
In response to the daily prompt Blink
My life was so easy
When I was a sinner
I didn’t know better
Than drinking or lust
One day I realized
My future was fragile
I was not so agile
To freely live on
I then met the Savior
Who sought me forever
He would fail me never
If He was my Lord
I gave my heart to Him
Now peace is internal
His joy is eternal
I’m now heaven bound
In response to the daily prompt Agile
When I figure out my taxes
I do my best to find
Any loophole that would save me
A nickel or a dime
In other situations
We look for ways around
Just to make our lives go easier
The shortcuts do abound
But if our goal is heaven
No loopholes can apply
Repent and come to Jesus
Is the only way to life
In response to the daily prompt Loophole
In all of my years I’ve been watching
Both to the East and the West
I marvel each day
As the sun makes it’s way
The heaven’s display their best
Then I look at the trees in autumn
As the changing of seasons goes on
From green to bright hues
The most colorful show
There to watch with a sense of awe
As I study these things I can’t help
But think of our awesome God
Who gives us each day
These brilliant displays
He really must love us so much
In response to the daily prompt Study
Maybe it’s a movie
Maybe it’s a show
Maybe it’s the sunshine
Maybe it’s the snow
Maybe it’s a puzzle
Maybe it’s a song
Maybe it’s a little dog
Who wants to tag along
Maybe it’s a comedy
Maybe drama reigns
Maybe it’s a talk show
That makes you smile again
We all have tings we turn to
That entertain our iives
For me I turn to Jesus
Because He satisfies
He satisfies my mind
With wisdom for my life
He satisfies my heart
With love that is alive
He satisfies my soul
With joy and inner peace
He satisfies me fully
As He my life does keep
If you need something fresh
To entertain you more
Jesus is the one you need
Today make Him your Lord
In response to the daily prompt Entertain
There are many things we old onto
Our possessions and friends are the first
Our dreams and desires
The jobs where we’rre hired
All fill the memories we thirst
In my life I’ve found all that matters
Is embracing the one who saved me
I will cling to the cross
Like static on cloth
His mercy electrifies me
n response to the daily prompt Static
When I think of how He loved me
Before I first loved Him
It evokes a sense of gratitude inside
His mercy came and found me
His love has set me free
In Him I know I’ll always abide
When I think of how He saved me
Delivered me from hell
It evokes a thunderous shout of highest praise
Glory Hallelujah
Worthy is the Lamb
I’ll lift my voice to worship His sweet name
In response to the daily prompt Evoke
It seems that my time is fleeting
The day’s gone before it begins
Then when I look back
It seems that I lack
Anything that would last in the end
I observe how my day proceeded
To see if there’s something I missed
The thought came to mind
I did not carve time
To spend with my Savior and Lord
I bow down and make a commitment
That upcoming days I will change
I’ll start out the day
With prayer and with praise
Then my time will have value again
In response to the daily prompt Carve
