It’s His Time Now

1 Reply

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

I Was Ready to Quit

1 Reply

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.

The Greatest Victory

2 Replies

I’ve been waiting all day to write this

Fresh home from a visit to Doc’s

Now I can sit down and write it

Good news from the doctors report

 

I’ve been taking a med that brings trouble

Neuropathy bad in my feet

So the doctor is switching me off it

It’s a verdict that is oh so sweet

 

But  the greatest of victories I have

Is what I found in Jesus Christ

He paid all the debt for my sin

And gave me eternal life

 

So stop waiting for something better

Like a  very good doctors report

Today give your life to Jesus

His love will never fall short

I sit and wonder why, Lord
Do people not choose thee
When they hear you’ve paid the price
From sin to set them free

Down here they feel so happy
And they think it’s the best
But if they just choose you today.
They would be richly blessed

In this life they party
Thinking all of life’s a game
If you would fill them with your joy
They’d never be the same

And when the party’s over
And the happiness is gone
They sit their all alone and wonder
When some peace will come

But I can tell them truly
That the peace that Jesus gives
Will permeate  their soul each day
As long as they shall live

You ask me how I know these things
So I’ll tell you here and now
‘Twas not that long ago my friend
That I refused to bow

I loved the party life at night
But hated waking up
My mind was filled with torment
My thoughts were so corrupt

It took at least 10 times
For me to head His call
But when I did, He kept His word
And gave to me His all

He blesses me each day
With His presence,  oh so sweet
He fills my heart with joy
Happiness just can’t compete

His peace is so remarkable
It soothes me every day
And His love is unforgettable
He walks along my way

But most of all His mercy
Is always reaching me
And His grace is so amazing
As it works to keep me free

You see it really is no contest
What the best life is
So why not turn your life around
And make your heart be His.

The Hope of Heaven

It may seem far away to you

So your not in any hurry

Your lie is going on just fine

So you don’t need to worry

 

But Jesus said the hour is near

And no one knows the day

That He will come with trumpet sound

To take His own away

 

So if you don’t know Him as your Lord

It’s urgent that you ask Him

To come into your heart today

If you ask, He’ll come in

 

And you will have that peace of  mind

That you are not alone

He’ll give you hope for all of time

And heaven will be your home

Where is Your Trust?

Leave a reply

I used to be a wild kid

Just wandering through life

I placed my trust in many things

But all of them just brought strife

 

Then I put my trust in Jesus

And He came into my heart

Now I have a calm assurance

That He never will depart

 

From now on I’ll trust Him always

My own wisdom put aside

I will give Him praise for everything

And He will daily be my guide

A Little Smoother Now

I used to be clumsy with speech

I’d juggle and mess up my words

I liked to talk

And I wouldn’t balk

At saying things really absurd

 

I joined a group called Toastmasters

They taught me to speak really well

I now had a voice

And made the right choice

Of which words to use – it is swell!

 

 

Now I can speak so much smoother

I can share what’s important to me

The Lord Jesus Christ

Has transformed my life

And He wants to set you free!

Great, Great Love

One day every knee will bow

In heaven and in earth

And every tongue will confess

That Jesus Christ is Lord

 

It matters not what they believed

While living on this earth

They must acknowledge He is Lord

For all the world to see

 

And those who served Him here below

Will then a mansion gain

But those who chose another road

A fire awaits them

 

As for me I’ll sing His praise

As long as I have breath

For He’s the one who gave His life

So I’d be free from sin

 

Oh, the great, great love of God

Who sent His only Son

To die and take my sin away

And rose to give me life

 

Oh the great. Great love of God

Who looks down from above

And helps me every day I live

To grow in grace and truth

 

I’ll lift my praise Hosanna

Glory to the King

Highest Hallelujahs

Praise His mighty name

 

Praise and adoration

To Jesus Christ my Lord

Worthy of my highest praise

Now and evermore.

You travel through life a day at a time

Trying to find your way

It seems you are not getting anywhere fast

As you tackle life every day

Then you meet Jesus, and you ask Him to com

Into your heart to stay

And now you feel there’s a purpose to life

So you start to ask as you pray.

 

Lord, why have I had so many hurts

And difficult times in my life

Why have I faced such a series of tests

That have brought me a good deal of strife

And God answers back that now you’re prepared

To help others with things in their life

Because your an original, one of a kind

But what you have learned helps mankind

 

So get out and share your experiences

And see who wil heed your call

What you  have gone through will help many come

And answer the Masters call

Every Time I Think

Every time I think about your grace, Lord

And how your blessings fall on me

I look up to the sky

A tear forms in my eye

As I lift my hands in praise to thee

 

Every time I think about your mercy

And the fact that you forgave all of my sin

My heart leaps in my chest

And my soul becomes so blessed

My worship comes from way down deep within

 

You are high above all others

You are greater than I know

You are more than mighty

You are more than worthy

Of the praise that I can show

 

So I will lift my voice and sing out

My worship song to all the earth

I’ll shout it all around

The streets of my small town

Until they all have heard the word

 

Every time I think about the hope, Lord

That you have put within my soul

I raise my eyes to heaven

Where soon I will be dwelling

You made it my eternal home

 

Every time I think about your love, Lord

And how you gave your life to set me free

I lift my voice in praise

To your mighty, glorious name

Because before I knew you, you loved me

 

You are high above all others

You are greater than I know

You are more than mighty

You are more than worthy

Of the praise that I can show

 

So I will lift my voice and sing out

My worship song to all the earth

I’ll shout it all around

The streets of my small town

Until they all have heard the word
