No Longer Silent

2 Replies

Too often
I am too private
With my witness for Jesus Christ
I don’t share His message
Or speak of His love
Or pray for the sick
Or visit the ones in need

It’s time to go public
To be more upfront
To tell of His goodness and love
To pray when I see a need
To visit my neighbor
To offer help
No longer be silent
But bold in His witness
Uplifting the name of the Lord

One Path

1 Reply

I’ve traveled many roads
While living on this earth
Some led to a party
While others had not worth

It seemed I’d often end up
On a dead end in my life
I saw many ways to turn
But never could decide

But now my life is easier
The labyrinth is gone
There is now just one path
That I want to be on

It is the straight and narrow one
That leads to heaven’s gates
Are you now walking on that path
Come now and don’t be late

For Jesus Christ will soon return
To take the saved away
There’s only one path leading there
Accept His cross today

Time for a Choice

Leave a reply

Oh what pleasures this world gives
Of what happiness I can live
Oh how silly is all of this
When you think of eternity

Life here on earth is time for choice
Ephemeral earth will be destroyed
We all will end with the sound of one voice
The judgment of God will arrive

And all who have chosen Christ as their Lord
Will end up in heaven their crowns will adorn
But those who rejected the one I adore
Will spend all their days in hell

I beg you today to make up your mind
Because this life determines life for all time
Once dead there is chance to change your mind
Choose Jesus and you will be saved

True Separation

Leave a reply

I forget way to often
This fact frustrates my wife
How much easier would things be
With a cobweb in my mind
Every thought would be captured
And would stay eternally
Because I have no spiders
Loose inside of me
Then I’d always remember
Jesus died for you and me
I could call on His word
To help your eyes to see

The word of God is swift
Sharper than a two edged sword
It can truly separate
Your body and your soul
It will reach inside and free you
From the sin that holds you down
I would always be prepared
To witness to the crowd
People would be healed
Souls would be set free
If the word of God was captured
By the cobweb inside me

Enemy Under Control

Leave a reply

I’ve done a lot of things in the course of my life
From sales to flipping burgers and a manager at times
Through many of my years my life was ruled by pride
So often I would fool myself to thinking sin would hide

You see I was a hypocrite who lived a different life
In Jesus days the Pharisees were what I would be like
I’d masquerade as righteous while I lived a life of lies
Then one day I was challenged to bring my life in line

I finally realized that my life was full by pride
I learned to bring that enemy under control in time
Now I live my life by the words of Jesus Christ
In Him I will forever more abide

The Believers Life

Real Bright

Leave a reply

Some are like those tiny bulbs In refrigerators
Then shine when people are around but when alone they’re out
Some will shine like lanterns powered by some kind of gas
You must make sure the wick is up for them to shine about

But we as Christians need to shine the light of God real bright
There’s lots of darkness in the world where we must testify
And if our light is shining bright then hopefully they’ll swarm
Like bugs at night they’ll come around to just enjoy the light

Jesus Returns

Judgment Day

Leave a reply

The heavens shall be open
A white horse shall appear
The man who sits upon him
Brings both judgment and war

His eyes are like a fire
His head bore many crowns
Clothed in garments dipped in blood
The Word of God He’s called

The armies of all heaven
Will follow Him this day
White horses will they ride upon
White garments will array

The fowls of the earth are called
To feast upon all flesh
And all who do remain on earth
Will meet a forecast death

If you are not familiar
With the words I’ve written here
Revelation nineteen ten
Is where you start to read

I do not share to frighten to
Because not all are doomed
There is a way of being saved
From all this talk of gloom

Make Jesus Christ your Lord and King
He is the only way
To be in heaven on this day
Won’t you be saved today

Foolish Habits

1 Reply

This world has lots of pleasures
They are wonderful to try
They make us feel important
Or they give us such a high
In this life we will face many
Of the tempters little ploys
They are all meant to enchant you
Into thinking flesh is Lord

But I have news for you my friend
The day is coming soon
When the King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Will come as a bridegroom
He is looking for a church
That is gleaming white as snow
There is just one way to get there
That is Jesus Christ to know

Put aside your foolish habits
The repent of all your sin
Allow the blood of Jesus
To wash you clean within
Accept His blood filled sacrifice
For He dies for you and me
Then he rose again from death
To give life eternally

The Believers Life

For All of Time

2 Replies

There’s so many people
Running with masks on
Hoping to fool some
Doing their goods deeds
Fulfilling their needs
Hoping that one day
They too will find the way
Into the pearly gates
For all of time

When Jesus will find them
Their disguise will not hide them
If He’s only Lord in name
Then they will be turned away
They must follow His commands
In order to make a stand
Today will you bow to Him
As Lord over everything
For all of time

The Believers Life

The Only Way

Leave a reply

I find it funny that some people think
That all we have is life on earth
And others think we will come back in some form
So that our life will have more worth

Still others think they must do good deeds to earn
A place in the heavens above
And others think all have been rescued from hell
Whatever they do is enough

It seems so bizarre to me
That Jesus died on a tree
So that all of us could be free
If we did not have a choice

If God would save everyone
Then why would He send His son
Why not just have it be done
By the sound of His mighty voice

After all the whole world was made
By His voice in just 6 days
Couldn’t He make us all saved
So we could all rejoice

When you think about what God has done for us
And how He has showed us His grace
Than you’ll know that accepting His Son as our Lord
Is truly the only way
