Stricken With Love

Leave a reply

She walked in the church
And sat right behind me
Her beauty transcended
My jaw hit the floor floor
I’d requested she come
Though we never had met
Yet when church was over
Her talk was ignored

That night she returned
As I walked through the door
Our eyes met so sweetly
I was stricken with love
The next night a service
We both would attend
The next day I wept
As back home I drove

Halfway on my trip
I stopped at an inn
Opened the Bible
There in the stand
Wrote her a letter
If I come to her
Will she by my girl
Our life would begin

Arriving back home
I gave my notice
Before I had heard
She accepted my offer
Two months went by
She came with some friends
To bring me to Iowa
My old life was over

Three months later
We married at last
Three children three towns
Forty years have now passed
I can still see that lithe form
That walked in the room
Her eyes full of life
Are a memory that’s cherished

The Believers Life

Full Volume

Leave a reply

I sleep at night in the basement
Which can get rather boring
My plight is due to just one thing
The sonorous sound of my snoringpoem,

There’s another time in my life
When a different sonorous sound
Is enjoyed by the people before me
As I lead worship to the Lord

Then we enter into the throne room
Where the Lamb sits on the throne
We sing full volume together
As we worship Christ alone

Praise & Worship

Beyond Measure

Leave a reply

He is seated on the throne
The Lamb who was slain
All glory to Him
Who rose again

Cherubim and Seraphim
Flying ‘round His glory
Shouting to the heavens
Holy Holy Holy

He is high and lifted up
Resplendent beyond measure
The elders dance before Him
For He is their treasure

I can’t wait for the day
I will join their praise
Singing glory hallelujah
To Jesus Christ our Lord

These Words I Write

Leave a reply

I’ve given up foods
I’ve given up booze
I’ve given up drugs
I’ve passed up on hugs
I’ve given up parties
I’ve given up pastries
All to clean up my life

I’ve tried to obey
But I’ve gone astray
On most every day
I lose my way
I fall down and pray
The wrong words I say
My life is so far from right

I’m so glad that God does not expect perfection
For He gave His Son to pay for my salvation
The quintessential sacrifice was made
So God above could show His awesome grace
Now I will gladly give Him all my adoration

These words I write
To help you find Light
That you will gain life
From His sacrifice
His love never dies
It’s yours for all time
Please call on the Lord today

True Riches Galore

1 Reply

Cushy and warm
Safe from harm
All that they need or desire
Riches galore
Hundreds of doors
In the mansions they build to reside

Big toys and small
They have them all
Opulent beyond belief
But if came the day
It was taken away
How would they find their relief

This world would say
This is their day
We all knew one day it would come
But I would pray
That they’d find a way
To reach out to God one by one

He is the source
Of true riches galore
The kind this world cannot provide
Then when the tide
Cancels their ride
His treasures will last all their lives

Peace hope and love
Joy from above
Mercy and grace overflow
Forgiveness and rest
Comfort that’s best
IS all yours if to His cross you’ll go

It Seemed Enough

1 Reply

I’ve given myself to studies
I’ve given myself to work
I’ve given myself to liqueur
I’ve often been a jerk

I’ve given myself to women
I’ve given myself to drugs
I’ve given myself to this world
At times it seemed enough

Bu then I heard a voice calling
Calling me by name
‘Twas the voice of Jesus my Savior
I have never been the same

So from now on I dedicate
My life to Jesus my Lord
And I give my whole self to Him
I will trust in Him alone

The Believers Life

A Sweet Life

Leave a reply

Some call it circumstances
Some just call it luck
Some say all the stars aligned
Or your just one smart duck

Whatever situation
Whatever comes your way
Others will think it’s just fate
That guided you that day

But i say phooey to all that
I’m not fortuitous
My life has been designed by God
And I am truly blessed

I’m blessed in every trouble
I’m blessed in every test
For my God goes before me
And guides my every step

He has a glorious plan for me
It’s full of love and peace
He’ll bless me every day I live
Any my life will be sweet

Breaking News

3 Replies

​There’s lots of people all around


Who like to listen to the sound

Of many others who expound

The things they seem to know


They take in these eclectic views

And turn it into breaking news

Then all of us have got to choose

What’s true and what is not


I prefer a different way

I’ll take what Jesus had to say

He is the truth the light the way

His word is always good


So if you’re struggling to know

What isn’t true and has to go

Open your Bible which will show

You’re path in this old world.

Hidden Faults

5 Replies

I’ve seen them wearing their strange clothes
That just don’t cover up at all
It seems they want to flaunt their stuff
And don’t care if it’s just too much

I’m not one to be so sensuous
As to wear something diaphanous
That’s a sight you would not want to see
Some things just should not be revealed

But when it comes to pleasing God
I want to be searched by His word
It can reveal my hidden faults
And help me see where I am lost

His word is like a sword you see
Dividing up what’s inside me
It sees right through my pride and sin
Revealing what lies deep within

Simple Words

3 Replies

I’ve worked in sales for many years
At times I would break down in tears
A sale did not go through
Or goals were far from true
Those days would just cement all of my fears

Those were the times that others came around
They would cajole me back to steady ground
Their leadership was good
Because they understood
That sales could ruin one who was not sound

Our walk with Jesus Christ is just like that
There are those days our faith just seems to lack
But others are on hand
To help us rise again
They share with us their faith and bring us back

Today I hope that you are not afraid
To reach out to someone who’s gone astray
They only need a friend
To take them by the hand
And change their course with simple words of prayer
