Guiding Light

8 Replies

For such a time as this
I was born into this world
To write this little poem God gave to me
Then also in this time
He brought you to this place
That you would read these words that God has breathed

Our Father calls to you
From deep within your soul
Asking you to make His plan fulfilled
His love is so immense
His compassion so intense
He gave us life to carry out His will

Do justly love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
That is what our Lord requires of you
It may sound rather simple
But it takes all of our days
Do learn what these words ask us all to do

Ask the Lord today
His wisdom to impart
That you would know all he wants you to do
To carry out these things
Make a difference in this world
As His word becomes alive all over you

It is no coincidence
That you have read these words
The Lord has given me this day to write
Do justly love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
Let these three things become your guiding light

 

Miscolored

Purple trees against a green sky
Polka dot clouds passing by
Red grass covers the ground
A barking dog makes not a sound

I float above the ground so light
My arms spread out and I take flight
Above the tallest mushrooms soar
The alligators cheer and roar

Is this my imagination
Or unfettered fascination
With things that just can’t be
Things I know I’ll never see

But in this world where truth is rare
There is one truth that I can share
Jesus love you this I know
For the bible tells me so

Unlimited

Power that nobody else can gain
Wisdom that nobody else can attain
Mercy that forgives again and again
Unlimited is our God

Joy that will fill me when troubles arise
Peace that will come when the storm clouds rise
Hope that will carry me all of my life
Unlimited is our God

Unlimited are His days
Unlimited is His grace
All that I need
He gives to me
He is unlimited

There is no measure there is no end
There is no boundary stopping His hand
When God is for me no harm can stand
Unlimited is our God

Unlimited are His days
Unlimited is His grace
All that I need
He gives to me
He is unlimited

Then there’s His love
Unlimited love
That reached to a sinner like me
He suffered so much
Than died on a cross
Unlimited love set me free

Unlimited are His days
Unlimited is His grace
All that I need
He gives to me
He is unlimited

Groupies of Nature

3 Replies

A gaggle of geese
A Flock of doves
A battery of barracudas

A swarm of bees
A herd of sheep
Leopards group in leaps

A host of sparrows
A buzzard wake
Alligators congregate

All these critters
Made by God
Creator of all things
Spoke the Word
Jesus Christ
He’s the King of Kings

All these critters
Give Him praise
Every single day
Should not we
The man He loves
Lift His holy name

Hunters, Crabs and Bears, Oh My

2 Replies

I have seen the big and little dog
I have seen the hunter’s belt
I’ve seen the crab and the ram
The twins were there as well

Shining high above the sky
In all their astral beauty
I look up and behold their light
I listen to their story

They tell of a creator
Who placed them one by one
They tell of His great glory
They tell me of God’s son

He came down from the heaven’s
To redeem us from our sin
The next time you see that bear
I pray you’ll follow Him

Be Still

4 Replies

Silently I come before you
Listening for the Spirit’s call
Seeking you in humble reverence
Giving you my heart and soul

Lord I want to draw in closer
Have you whisper in my ear
Feel your presence as I linger
Bringing you my heartfelt prayer

Being still before you
To know that you are God
I come to thee
Silently
Listening for your love

Now I wait in expectation
Knowing you will honor faith
Patiently I bow before you
Your voice I anticipate

Being still before you
To know that you are God
I come to thee
Silently
Listening for your love

I long to hear your voice
I long to see your face
I look up and rejoice
To you I lift my praise

Being still before you
To know that you are God
I come to thee
Silently
Listening for your love

Learning to Speak

3 Replies

I love tell my story
Of what my life has brought
I’ve learned to speak to people
Things Toastmasters has taught

This learning brought me knowledge
In nearly everything
I have become conversant
When topics people bring

The subject I enjoy the most
Is of my Saviors love
How even when my sin was huge
He loved me from above

He came to earth so long ago
Became my sacrifice
Now I can have His peace and joy
He gives eternal life

I’ll tell you that you too can know
This precious love He gives
Just ask Him to forgive your sins
Then you as well shall live

Simple Trust

2 Replies

Flush with excitement
Hopelessly in love
I await Him
I know He will soon come
Because I called out to Him
He promised He would always be near
I don’t worry
I don’t doubt
I simply trust He’ll be here
His loving arms will wrap around me
He’ll hold me close
He’ll tell me that He loves me
What a mighty God I serve!

Simply Amazing (Music Video)

God gave me this simple chorus back in 2011.  The chords change as I go through the song, which I always enjoy.  The fact is that we serve an amazing God.  Amazing in so many ways.  This worship chorus is called “Simply Amazing”

 

Refine Your Plans

2 Replies

It used to be in days of old
That miners would assess their gold
By biting in and taking hold
To see how soft it was

Then men developed great techniques
To check the gold for strength and weak
When the assay was done they’d speak
To tell what they had found

We all are like gold in God’s hands
He tests us and refines our plans
To make the most of every man
By taking out the bad

So give your life to Him today
Let Him be your guide every day
He’ll lead you in His golden ways
Because He loves you so
