What A Change

2 Replies

I was sure

No one could hear my cry

No one could feel my hurt

No one could truly love me

 

Then I found

Jesus would hear my prayer

Jesus would heal my pain

Jesus would always love me

 

I knelt down

And prayed through in tears

And prayed for His peace

And prayed He would save me

 

He came in

And filled up my soul

And filled me with joy

And filled the void in my heart

 

Now I know

His love has no end

His love is by grace

His love shows His mercy

 

What a change He brought

To my longing heart

What a Savior He is to me

Because He has set me free

 

He’s all that I ever sought

To fill up my poor dead heart

And He’ll do the same for you

If you’ll only ask Him to

Walking With Jesus

Leave a reply

Walking with Jesus

All the day long

Fills me with hope

Fills me with song

He is my Savior

My master, My Lord

There is no other

That I will adore

 

When I was a sinner

He still loved me

He took all my burdens

To Calvary’s tree

My sin wiped away

By His sacrifice

He died in my place

To give me new life

 

When He rose again

Death no longer could win

He provided a mansion

For me to dwell in

My hope is now anchored

In His word of life

That heaven’s my home

‘Til the end of all time

 

If you do not know

This Jesus today

Just ask Him to come

And make your heart His home

Ask Him to guide you

Each day that you live

You’ll never regret it

If in Him, you live

 

Walking with Jesus

All the day long

There’s no other way

To make heaven your home

Please walk along with us

And find His sweet love

You’ll soon know His peace

And the Joy from above

Knowing His Love

Leave a reply

It’s not hard to explain

The love I have inside

For Jesus Christ my Lord

The one they crucified

He took away my sin

The day he bled and died

And when He rose again

He gave eternal life

 

His love fills me with joy

And that abundantly

This joy that lasts all day

And always comforts me

No circumstance can change

This joy that’s deep in me

It bubbles out in love

For all the world to see

 

His peace is always there

To brighten up my day

It keeps me safe and sound

Wherever I may stray

I never have to worry

When trials come my way

Because His peace is there

It gives me strength to pray

 

I’ll never lose the hope

Of heaven that’s ahead

My future is secure

I will not fear or dread

When all of life is gone

And to most I will be dead

My hope has made a mansion

Where I will rest my head

 

This poem could go on

For days and even years

Listing all the ways

His love is oh so dear

And all the benefits

He whispers in my ear

My prayer is that you’ll come to know

The love this poem shares

One Way

I dreamed I was in heaven
And Jesus walked with me
We went out by the pearly gates
Where a long line I did see
I asked my Lord about it
And He told me just to watch
And listen for a moment
As the line moved slowly past
The first one was a man
Who had given to the poor
He had always put his neighbor first
And never took rewards
To many here on earth
His life had been a blessing
But the angels said I’m sorry
The main thing is still missing
The second was a women
Who had given up her life
As a living testimony
To the church and as a wife
She baked and cleaned and chored
Spent all her time for God
But the angels said I’m sorry
There is one thing you have not
A third and forth and fifth came down
And all had done great things
Some were even pastors
Who were living offerings
But as they told their stories
Of works that they had done
The angels said I’m sorry
You can’t enter, not a one
Then I saw another angel
With a woman who was plain
The angel brought her past the line
To a door with Jesus name
They stopped but for a moment
And the guard opened the book
Then they entered into heaven
And the other stood and looked
I said dear Lord please tell me
What does all of this mean
He looked at me and smiled
It’s simple to explain
The people in the line
Think works will get them in
But this lady had accepted me
And help me deep within
You see my son, the truth is
There is no other way
To enter into heaven
Then to call upon my name
The works you do don’t matter
Nor what you have to give
But if you make me Lord of all
You will in heaven live

When I thirst I need a fountain

When I am sad I need more joy

When I’m in turmoil peace will comfort me

When I have doubts I turn to faith

When I seem lost I can’t lose hope

When I feel down, love is what I need

 

There are times my life gets dry and hard

I just wallow in the dust

It is in these times the living water flows

You’re my source for strength in battle

As you quench my thirsting soul

I can feel the Holy Spirit in me grow

 

When life brings situations

That bring sadness to my life

I can count on you for overwhelming joy

You’re my source for inspiration

When the burden gets to hard

I can count on you to make my spirit soar

 

In days of great confusion

When I don’t know where to turn

I know that your sweet peace will comfort me

You’re my source for calm assurance

That all things will turn out good

And I’ll rest in the abundance of your peace

 

There are times my doubts take over

And I wonder where to turn

Then I read your word and faith is lifted high

You’re my source for truth and wisdom

In the times I trust my flesh

You renew the faith that gives eternal life

 

In this world of greed and power

It is easy to get turned

From the hope you have instilled within my heart

You’re my source for all the future

I can know heaven’s my home

And forever my abode will not depart

 

Your love is so amazing

Your love is so divine

It sought me out when I was full of sin

You’re me source for loving others

The way that you loved me

Help me, Lord, to keep your love within

He Watches Over Me

Leave a reply

He watches over me

Takes care of all my needs

I can depend on Him

He’s always at my side

When in Him I abide

His love will always win

 

When the storms of life do gather

And the wind and waves seem tall

I can trust in Him to never let me fall

And when I need a fortress

‘Cause the battle is too hard

He becomes my refuge from it all

 

When all my friends desert me

Because I live according to His word

I know that He’s a friend who’ll stand by me

And when it seems I’m all alone

He’ll come and let me know

He’s right there with His arms upholding me

 

When my body lets me down

And pain of sickness has set in

I know He is my healer and my strength

It’s now that I must trust Him most

To heal me in His time

The stripes upon His back provided health

 

No matter what the circumstance

Or what my life will bring

Each day I need to rise from sleep and sing

His praises should adorn my lips

And worship guide my tongue

As I give Him thanks for everything

 

I thank you Lord, you’re watching over me

I thank you Lord, you won’t abandon me

I lift my highest praise

To you my hands are raised

I think you Lord for saving me.

The Requirement

Leave a reply

What does the Lord require of me?

How can I know His will for me?

What does He ask that I should see?

Lord, help me know your plan

 

First we must do the things that are just

So that others will know we are men of trust

For our principles we will not adjust

Just to win one more friend or two.

 

Then we show mercy to all we meet

For Jesus showed mercy to us in our need

We must pass on His mercy to all that we greet

To be what He wants us to be

 

And last but not least, the most difficult part

We must walk with a humble and lowly heart

Putting others before self in all regards

So His light will shine through me

 

These words are not new, but from ages past

The old prophet Amos did speak them first

And for these three things we all should thirst.

As this is the will of God for me.

 

I pray you will heed these words this day

Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly I pray

For these are the words that the prophet did say

Are requirements of our God.

Jesus, You Are

Jesus, what a wonder

You put the stars in place

Separated earth and sky

Set the sun in space

Brought up food from fertile ground

Spoke and animals abound

Jesus, what a wonder you are

 

Jesus, your incredible

Came to earth a babe

Left your throne in glory

In a manger lay

Shepherds bowed in worship

Wise men brought great gifts

Jesus, how incredible you are

 

Jesus, your amazing

Ministered three years

Walked among the people

Joy flowed out in tears

Lowly men would hear Him

Learned men turned from Him

Jesus, how amazing you are

 

Jesus, you are mercy

Died upon the cross

Gave your life so freely

Paid such a big cost

Ransomed me from all my sin

Then you brought me peace within

Jesus, you are mercy to me

 

In all the ways of time and space

There’s no one who can take your place

I long to be in your embrace

Safe from any harm

 

So I will praise your mighty name

You ransomed me, Your name I’ll raise

For all the marvels you have made

Your worth is more than life
