It’s Not Up To Me

It’s not up to me

To save a soul

To take their sins

And make them whole

But it is up to me

To tell them of Christ

So That they can accept Him

And change their lives

 

It’s not up to me

To heal the sick

To take their pain

And help them live

But it is up to me

To help them see

The one who heals

And dries their tears

 

My task is to tell them of Jesus

And the wonders He’s done for me

To open their eyes to the light of His love

So that they will truly believe

 

It’s not up to me

To convict of sin

To judge the lost

And purify them

But it is up to me

To witness each day

Of the love of Christ

And to pray and pray

 

It’s not up to me

To look down on them

Or to think I’m better

Because I have Him

But it is up to me

To love them with all

My heart must go out

To both big and small

 

My task is to tell them of Jesus

And the wonders He’s done for me

To open their eyes to the light of His love

So that they will truly believe

 

For I do not know what tomorrow brings

It just might be their last day

I need to tell them of Jesus

And pray, and pray, and pray

Down with the Giant

David was a teenager

When he faced the giant

Goliath had a victors laugh

But David brought him down

 

The giant in our lives is sin

We’ve no way to defeat it

But Jesus paid the price for us

The giant’s been defeated

 

Today take Jesus as your Lord

And He will be your Savior

The giants in your life will fall

Before His mighty name

 

In response to the daily prompt Giant

Crossing the Great Divide

There’s a great divide between God and man

The gulf is large and deep

It’s been in place since Adam ‘s day

It’s way the angels keep

 

When Jesus died upon that cross

He paid the price for sin

And He became the crossing bridge

For all of us to win

 

The only way to God you see

Is Jesus Christ today

So come and take Him as your Lord

And He’ll show you the way

 

 

 

 

 

 

In rsponse to the daily prompt Bridge

Merciful Savior

When I begin to think about

What Jesus did for me

I always must remember

The day He set me free

 

My sins were overwhelming

I couldn’t find my way

I tried so many other things

That just led me astray

 

But Jesus said He’d rescue me

From the depths of sin

I needed to escape my past

And find some peace within

 

Oh, what a merciful Savior

Oh, what grace divine

Jesus is my answer

Jesus now is mine

 

So I sat down and prayed a prayer

And asked Him in my heart

There was no doubt He touched me

As I felt Him from the start

 

From that day on He stayed with me

I grew in His embrace

And now I trust Him every day

To cover me with grace

 

My heart shouts out His praises

As I lift my voice in song

He’s all I ever needed

With Him I can’t go wrong

 

Oh, what a merciful Savior

Oh, what grace divine

Jesus is my answer

Jesus now is mine

The Fog Lifted

I used to live life in a fog

My mind was always cloudy

And smoke swirled ’round my head all day

My life was kind of rowdy.

 

But then I met my Savior

Jesus is His name

The fog lifted

Life was changed

i’ll never be the same

 

Now I’m free from sin and shame

I have reason to live

I’m free at last

From troublled past

My praise to Him I give

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Smoke

Now I’m Weclome

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

From Lost to Found

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

He’s Calling Out

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

God Only Wise

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
