All throughout time
God’s sovereign grace
Has kept us close
To His dear face
He gives us blessings
Undeserved
And show us how
Pour friends to serve
He pampers us
With peace and joy
And many other
Gifts employs
But with all this grace
There’s one more thing
That must be trusted
If we’re to win
Because future lies
In prophecy
And Only comes
By His mercy
Prophecy In response to the daily prompt
There are many thing in earth
That take my breath away
Every day I can observe
The marvels that come my way
From the brilliant sun at dawn
To the colors of sun set
The birds melodious song
And the flowers powerful scent
Then I think about my body
And the way it’s carefully made
There is no other copy
Unique in all it’s ways
All these things bring wonder
To my big imagination
I marvel as I ponder
The vastness of creation
It’s awesome, Oh, so awesome
That God would care so much
To give us this great earth
So He could stay in touch
But even more than awesome
Is the love He has for me
That He would give His son
To take my sin from me
So now I stand amazed
At all that He has done
But I truly am in awe
Of His abiding love
In response to the Daily Prompt Awe
I can’t imagine
What God will do today
Every day is a new miracle
When I trust His way
Nobody ever knows
The blessings that will come
When I yield to His spirit
And trust in His love
Today might bring trials
That challenge my faith
Designed so I’ll run
To His awesome grace
Sickness may come
In the midst of the night
Will I trust on His healing?
To end my plight?
Friends might desert me
And ruin my name
It’s then I need Jesus
To weather the pain
Days are not always
Blessings and joy
There are times in the valley
When we need to grow
So God allows these things
To strengthen our faith
If we’ll only just trust
In His awesome grace
I cannot imagine life without God
I cannot imagine not knowing His touch
I cannot imagine not knowing His love
I cannot imagine it at all
Truth is, I used to be there
Living without God
Living in an aimless life of sin
I didn’t have much hope
In what the future held
And I surely had no lasting peace within
But then I met the Savior
Jesus is His name
He gave His life to take away my sin
But more than that He promised
That He’d prepared a plan
So I would not go aimlessly again
If your destination
Is not so clear to you
And aimless is your life’s detour
Then why not come to Jesus
And see His plan for you
Take aim at being all He made you for
Written in reeponse to the Daily Prompt 6-19-2016 Aimless
I once had a Father on earth
Who I barely knew at all
He left us when I was young
And He hardly ever called
We would get a gift at Christmas
And a visit here and there
But through time I grew bitter
And didn’t even care.
The anger inside grew mighty
As I reached my teenage years
I got into things angered my mom
And had her often in tears
I could not find my way through life
I struggled just to survive
The time had to come to turn around
Or I might take my life
Then a friend from a long time ago
Came and told me a story I knew
But He told it in such a different way
I listened and heard the truth
I have a heavenly Father
Who loves me very much
A heavenly Father up above
Who came my heart to touch
He gave His own son
To die in my place
And covered my sin
With amazing grace
His mercy is greater
Than all my shame
He’ll live in my heart
And call me by name
And one day he’ll come
And take me home
To a life everlasting
Around His throne
I love my heavenly Father
He takes care of all my needs
My heavenly Father
He’ll always be there for me
The Psalmist
