Many Laughs

Leave a reply

I once was a man full of laughter
I was happy for moments in time
I used many laughs through my years
But I never knew which one was mine

Sometimes I’d burst out a HA
Other times snickers were good
A guffaw a cackle or giggle
I’d laugh just as loud as I could

But all of this laughter was surface
I was hurting deep down inside
Because happiness lasts for a moment
After that sadness ruled my life

But then I met Jesus my Savior
He cleansed me from all of my sin
His peace settled into my spirit
He brought me true joy within

Now I have this joy forever
It’s not for a moment and gone
If always sad in your spirit
Look to Jesus and true joy will come

I Am Guilty

Leave a reply

I have to admit I am guilty
I dissemble most every day
I write these short little verses
But I have quite more to say

The reason is not just to answer
The prompt that’s before my eyes
But to talk to you about living
For my Savior Jesus Christ

I want to see you in heaven
By these poems I reach out
And tell you about salvation
So you won’t have any doubt

He came to show you His kingdom
He died to free you from sin
He rose to give you eternal life
Today give your life to Him

Your Friend

2 Replies

I’ve met many people
Who hold their lives
Inside them like seeds in a melon
They think that suppressing
The feelings they have
Will somehow bring safety to their lives

I just want to hug them
And open their minds
So they won’t be so lethargic
If they will just talk
To the Lord in their plight
They will find He can be quite cathartic

Because He has the answer
To all of our questions
He provides peace and contentment
So if you are harboring
Feelings down deep
Give Jesus a chance to be your friend

Those Who are Lost

Leave a reply

Those who are Lost

I brewed me some coffee quite early today
Then went on the deck for the sunrise
The air was quite crisp as I sipped from my cup
And I watched as the light filled the skies

Above me a brood of robins appeared
They soared in majestic fashion
I watched as they headed south for to warmth
And wished I could take that vacation

As I said there I thought this world of ours
I brood over those who are lost
I decided that I must to more every day
To tell them about Jesus Christ

He came to this earth to teach us God’s ways
Then He died on a cross for our sin
He rose from the dead to give eternal life
I pray that you will accept Him

Colors Overdue

Leave a reply

Through days and days of gentle rain the cloudy skies held close
I was wondering if the sun was hiding or if it soon would show
This morning I awoke to a clear and starry sky
And I knew the dawn was coming and the sun would then arise

The leaves were turning color but the clouds did hide their hue
This morning I would surely see their colors overdue
Nature’s plan would once again fulfill its solemn script
Winter spring summer fall never will they slip

But this plan is a minor thing compared to one I know
Where God sent His anointed Son His love to us to show
The brilliant plan was set in time so many years ago
Now we are promised more than life here on this earth below

For God sent His begotten Son that all who would believe
Would not face eternal death but live eternally
His promise is to all of those who ask Him to be Lord
I pray this plan lives in your hear and fills your longing soul

Colors of my Life

Leave a reply

Colors of the Leaves

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our life would show
All the lives we’ve touched while here on earth below
Perhaps we could turn colors as the leaves upon the trees
And flutter to the earth on the whims of gusty breeze

Each color could then show the kindness that we gave
One color could be loyalty another might be prayer
One color could be mercy and another may be grace
I wonder what my colors would in the end display

Would they be a vibrant mixture of every color known
Or would they just fall to the earth simply dead and brown
I pray that when the time is come for my life to be gone
The colors of my leaves will give joy to everyone

Our Salvation

Our Destiny

2 Replies

The masks come out to hide the face
The costumes all are put in place
The pumpkins carved and lights ablaze
It’s Halloween again

The horror movies play all day
To honor fright and death’s decay
We laugh and cringe at such displays
It’s Halloween again

But there is something all must know
The scary thing is many don’t
That one day death will take its toll
Do you know where you’ll go

On one side hell is open wide
Where demons dwell and Satan hides
If we do not know Jesus Christ
This is our destiny

A lake of fire is the scene
Fire and brimstone in between
Our bodies there will shout and scream
For all eternity

But those are who’ve asked for God’s true grace
Who’ve trusted that Christ took their place
He has all their sin erased
They will be heaven bound

A robe of righteousness they’ll wear
The saints of old all gathered there
No more sickness, death or tears
Forever in His arms

Have you made the choice today
That God’s true Word you will obey
Ask Jesus to be Lord today
The choice is up to you

The Latter Rain

Leave a reply

I live In rural Iowa where corn and soybeans rule
Our rainy spell is over and now it has turned cool
The harvest lingers way behind and must get done real soon
Because we are the breadbasket for many in this world

But my eyes look for something else when I think of the rain
The former rain is good for life on earth as it sustains
But I look for the latter times of Holy Spirit rain
To come and fill our souls and bring us back to God again

It seems our country’s lost it’s soul to morals that do lack
And people all around us seem to fall much further back
They know longer recognize when Satan is in full attack
They just go with the flow and fall into his world of slack

It’s time the church rise up and call upon the latter rain
To overcome the enemy and raise up Christ again
He said if he were lifted up he’d draw to Him all men
Come on church pray with all your might that Jesus Christ will reign

Quickly Overgrown

2 Replies

My garden was incredible this year
A used a new ingredient called Preen
For in the past I did not have the time
And soon my plot was overgrown with weeds

Our walk with Christ is very much the same
For it is easy to get pulled aside
This world can quickly overgrow our faith
And cause His word to gradually subside

So make sure you take time each day in prayer
Read the scriptures regularly to grow
The last thing you must do will keep you safe
Give thanks for all the blessings He bestows

The House on the Hill

Leave a reply

There’s an old house up on the hill
People say it is haunted still
Someone died in it long ago
Now they say she’s quite the ghost

I say the spirits fool your mind
Make you think they are still alive
But the truth is they’ve bit the dust
When our Lord died upon the cross

Satan was defeated there
Now he just tries to fool and scare
He has no more authority
So do not give into fear

Perfect love casts out your fear
He will hear your fervent prayer
If fear has taken hold of your life
Call on Jesus to renew your mind
