There was a time that I was not welcome
Banned is a better word
I had not accepted criteria
For eternity with the Lord
But then I asked His forgiveness
For all of of the sins of my past
And He washed me whiter than whitest snw
And said enter into my rest
Now I’m not banned any longer
I’m welcome for all of time
I sure hope that you know the Savior
So you can share in my rhyme
In response to the daily prompt Banned
Changes come and changes go
You never know what’s next
Hairstyles, fashion, colored toes
It’s hard to know what’s best
But all these changes just don’t last
They make no difference
And when the change has come to pass
Most people could care less
I know one change that is for real
A brilliant transformation
For when I came to Jesus Christ
He gave me Salvation
My life was changed in every way
His Word becamse my ration
As I applired it to my life
It gave me inspiration
From weak I now became strong
From poor He filled me up
I was a sinner, shame throughout
He cleaned my inner cup
My life was bound for hell that day
But now I’m heaven bound
The transformation Jesus brought
Chnaged me from kost to found
In response to the daily prompt Transformation
One day every knee will bow
And every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord of all
In heaven and in earth
One day everyone will gather
‘Round the throne of God
Some will live eternally
Some will be cast out
He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today
This day you can make the choice
That one day will decide
Whether you will live eternally
Or be the one cast out
This day make the choice for Jesus
He’s the only way
Take Him as your Lord and Savior
Call on Him today
He will take your sins away
Wash them white as snow
He will give you peace and joy
That you have never known
He will grant deliverance
From all that holds you down
He will replace all your fear
With faith that you can grow
He will give you hope that lasts
For all eternity
His love will encompass you
And let’s you know you’re his
He’s calling out today
For all to find His way
So why not bow and pray
To Jesus Christ today
If I could say one word to Jesus
What word would it be
What word would summarize
All my Savior means to me
How can a single word take in
His royal majesty
There must be such a word
That I could speak
Amazing.
So Amazing
So Amazing is His love for me
Truly Amazing
Simply Amazing
How Amazing that Jesus would love me
From on His throne in heaven
He looked down to see my plight
And came to earth to die
So that I could have new life
It’s hard to comprehend such love
For such a worm as I
Amazing
If He would grant me one word
Perhaps He’d grant me two
The next word would be just as hard
To think about and choose
My thoughts would wander through a list
Of words that call-in praise
I’d have to find a word
That would live His holy name
Magnificent
So Magnificent
So Magnificent is my Savior’s love for me
Magnificent
Surely Magnificent
Magnificent that He would care enough
He tells me every day
How much He loves me so
He fills me with His peace
And calms my weary soul
The joy that He bestows on me
It lightens up my load
And His Spirit leads the way
Everywhere I go
Magnificent
Shout to the Lord
Sing out His praise
He is magnificent
In all of His ways
Dance for the Lord
With a heart full of joy
He is Amazing
And, Oh so much more
He formed the earth
Divided the seas
Set up the sun
He created the trees
Brought up the beasts
And birds of the air
Then He made man
His image He shared
And when He was done
He said all was good
Creation was done
It is wonderful
Give to the Lord
All of your praise
Worship His holiness
Lift up His name
Raise up your hands
Lift up your eyes
He is exalted
God only wise
Came down from heaven
Gave up His throne
Suffered and beaten
Left all alone
Forgiving my sin
Washing it white
Filling my life
With His glorious light
Placed in the tomb
Sealed with a stone
Rose up to life
Will soon take me home
Taking my shame
My quilt and my fear
Filled me with peace
He dries every tear
I will rejoice
In Jesus my Lord
Day after day
He’s the one I adore
Forever and ever
I’ll praise His name
For He is worthy
Of all of my praise
I must admit that I don’t give
My time away a lot
There’s only so much in a day
I treasure all I’ve got
Invitations come and go
To volunteer my aid
But mostly I just pass them up
To do things that will pay
But when I was asked by Jesus
To volunteer for Him
I looked at that he offered me
A and found out it’s all win
He starts by taking sin away
And filled me with His love
Then He gave eternal life
When He rose up above
He gave me peace and joy and hope
He caused me to rejoice
So now I’ll volunteer each time
He calls me with His voice
In respnse to the daily prompt Volunteer
I couldn’t ask the Lord for more
Of His amazing grace
Or His everlasting mercy
Or His loving soft embrace
I couldn’t ask the Lord for more
Of His abiding peace
Or His overwhelming joy
Or His Spirit of release
He gives and gives then gives some more
And all He asks of me
Is to follow in His footsteps
And His disciple be
I couldn’t ask for blessings
Because He gives me oh so much
I couldn’t ask for miracles
I’m surrounded by His touch
But I can ask for guidance
That He lead me every day
And I could ask for wisdom
That I follow in His way
I can ask forgiveness
When I wander from His plan
And I can ask protection
In the palm of His hand
He gives and gives then gives some more
And all He asks of me
Is to follow in His footsteps
And His disciple be
There’s nothing He won’t do for me
To follow in His ways
He’ll walk with me and talk with me
For all my coming days
So I will lift my praises
To my Savior and my Lord
Because He’s with me forever
He’s the one that I adore
Long time ago
He put them in place
Millions of stars
Hung up in space
All bright and shiny
Twinkling above
Telling us nightly
Of His great love
Here on this earth
Millions of us
Looking above
Hoping for love
God loves you more
Thank you’ll ever know
Gave His own Son
His love to show
Don’t look at thee stars
To show you the way
Look at the Son
He loves you today
In respnse to the daily prompt Millions

And I will lift my voice
In highest praise
Jesus I magnify
Your mighty name
I’ll worship you Lord
All of my days
For you are worthy
Of all of my praise
I was once steeped in sin
And I had no way out
I was ready to quit
And then I heard about
How Jesus had died
On a cross long ago
To pay off my debt
Wash my sins white as snow
Now my sins ancient history
And I’m free from my shame
I know that my life
Will not be the same
Maybe you need some
Relief in your life
Just cry out to Jesus
He’s right by your side.
