It seems it’s a natural occurrence
To eat and drink plenty each day
It’s something we do by instinct
To survive there’s no other way
But there is another part to us
That needs to nourished as much
The spirit that lives within us
Is hungry to feel wisdom’s touch
Your body is well taken care of
Your spirit guides you in this world
Make sure that you feed your spirit
For me that means time in God’s word
In response to the daily prompt Instinct
Some people get caught up in things
Like soap operas and TV shows
Their lives revolve around a set
Of characters they think they know
Others are consumed by work
They toil all day and night it seems
Their goal is to achieve the top
But often they get caught in schemes
I prefer to immerse myself
In the Word of God, where life abounds
As I look through His words each day
I hear just joyful, peaceful sounds
To God I’ll gather ’round each day
For that is where I find my rest
If you need more from life today
Open the Word and find God’s best.
In response to the daily prompt Immerse
I’ve always loved good music
It causes my heart to dance
There’s always a joy when I’m singing
To a song that I find by chance
We used to listen to records
Forty-five RPM was the speed
Those singles would jump on the turnstile
And we’d all start dancing with ease
Then 8 track and CD and DVD came
The records still there, but now small
And I listen to much different music
That lifts up a praise to the Lord.
Life changes fast in this world of ours
There’s little that remaiins the same
The only exception is Jesus
His truth and love will never change
If you need some come assurance
That will always be there for you
Just call on the name of Jesus
His record is always true.
In response to the daily prompt Record
I could hear the echo softly
As I went to see old friends
Their quiet murmuration
Came so quickly without end
A change had taken place in me
That made them stop and pause
They saw a new man standing there
And wondered ’bout the cause
I told them I’d been born again
Asked Jesus in my heart
I put away my dark old life
He gave me a new start
Now that they had seen it
They had to know it’s true
And thus began my journey
To start my life anew
In response to the daily prompt Murmuration
There’s a pattern this world likes to follow
Of hustle and bustle and fame
Go after riches and fortune
Live life and never be tame
I use a pattern that’s different
That seeks peace and joy, love and hope
Following Jesus is simpler
Then the pattern that makes this world cope
Why not step out and come with me
Escape the rat race as they say
Come to the Savior, He’s waiting
To change your life’s pattern today
In response to the daily prompt Pattern
When you think about freedom or morality
You have to think abstractly at best
For these things are subjective it matters who you ask
One person things much different than the rest
Many think that God is at the top of abstract thought
His existence they aren’t sure is real
But I surely tell you that He is more alive
More than sun or wind or rain or stars reveal
You see I know these things because He changed my life
From someone who was rough and full of wrong
He gave me purpose in my life and filled my heart with love
His presence is with in me all day long
So if you need something to keep you from an abstract life
I have the answer you are looking for
Just ask my Jesus to come in and take away your sin
And take away your sin forevermore
In response to the daily prompt Abstract
I can’t imagine how I would feel
If I didn’t know where I would go
There’s eternal bliss in heaven above
Or fire and torture below
There’s a way you can know where you will go
So you won’t have to be nervous again
Make Jesus your Lord by asking Him in
And in heaven you’ll be in the end
In response to the daily prompt Nervous
When I read about Heaven
It’s plain to see
That’s Heavens the place
That I want to be
With a colorful mind
A vivid mind set
I picture a scene
Like none I’ve seen yet
Streets of gold
Gates of pearls
A foundation of gems
Light of Jesus
Shines so bright
There’s no need for the sun
Can you picture it?
Do you know you’ll be there?
Jesus is the way
That you can be sure
In response to the daily prompt Vivid
The devil met God aone day long ago
Said I’ll fight your Son nd His blood will flow
God said go ahead I’ll send Hiin to earth
Just give Him some time to show them His worth
The devil agreed on thirty three years
The parley thus ended the demons all cheered
When Jesus had finished the time that was planned
He turned Himself over to the devil’s mean band
They beat Him and whipped Him and crowned Him with thorns
He carried His cross His flesh was all torn
Nails were then put in His hands and His feet
The devil cried victory Jesus died, sure defeat
But three days later He arose from the grave
The devil was doomed Jesus sealed his fate
God just smiled big as His Son now came home
He knew all along His side had won
In response to the daily prompt Parlay
When I was a baby
All I’d ever want
Was love, sleep, food
And a dry diaper.
When I was just 10
The things that I craved
Were adventure, junk food
And time with my friends
When I was twenty
I was all messed up
Lived on drugs, booze
Sex and little sleep
But then came twenty-four
A big change in my life
I learned of Jesus Christ
And His stunning sacrifice
Ever since that day
My desire’s been
To love Him with my all
And love my fellow man.
In response to the daily prompt Desire
