Proceed With Caution

2 Replies

I  used to never be careful

About what I said or did

I just had fun and I partied

And most of my life was hid

 

But then I made Jesus my Savior

And He asked much more of me

He asked me to be His disciple

And live a life for His glory

 

So I put aside all of the parties

And I watched every word that I said

I wanted to glorify Jesus

And not bring reproach to His name

 

Now I know it’s hard to be perfect

In all that we say and do

So I will proceed with caution

As I witness to  all the world

The Only Way

2 Replies

I just woke up this morning

The sleep is still in my eyes

I opened up my computer

That’s when I realized

I had to write out this poem

And not give it any disguise

Because no one can say I’m a fool

I have Jesus, and He makes me wise

 

Some would start up an argument

Others would question why

Why do you say He’s the only way

To get to the other side?

The answer is really quite simple

It’s because He can not lie

He says no one comes to the Father

Except through His sacrifice.

 

I will trust Him forever

Because He has shown me grace

And one day that is very soon

I will finally look on His face

Won;t you believe His word today

And ask Him your sins to erase?

If you call on Him He will save you

And you’ll feel His loving embrace

Crossing Over

Leave a reply

In my youth I visited Canada many times

On family vacations

Crossing the border was easy

No hassles, no problem

 

As an adult, I visited Mexico

Cancun to be precise

We flew, so went through customs

At he airport, easy as pie!

 

These border crossings were on this earth

And there were many ways to do it

But the border crossing to heaven

Has one way

Jesus.

 

In you want to cross that border

So heaven will be your reward

Then call on the name

The precious name

The only way

The truth

And he life

Jesus, the Lamb slain for you.

Now I Know

Leave a reply

I once though God was far away

And did not care for me

I lived my life for just myself

I  thought I was so free

 

But then I came to realize

That sin had kept me bound

The freedom that I thought I had

Was nowhere to be found

 

So I gave my life to Jesus

Because He died for me

And now I know He cares for me

And He has set me free!

The Coming Storm

Leave a reply

Winds are swirling

Seas are churning

Storm is drying near

Windows boarded

Food is hoarded

Forecast bringing fear

 

Time is wasting

Storm’s approaching

Skies are growing black

Rain starts falling

Wind is howling

No time to turn back

 

We see the forecast looming

And prepare for what’s to come

Anticipate the worst case

And hope for much more calm

 

And when the storm has passed

And the skies all start to clear

We start the lengthy clean-up

That will last throughout the year

 

But a different storm is coming

One that has no warning signs

It’s a promise in the Bible

And it’s getting close to time

 

Jesus will return soon

To take His children home

And once we all leave with Him

You won’t want to be alone

 

But today you can prepare

For this day that’s coming soon

If a storm you will prepare for

Why not the coming doom?

 

Just ask Jesus to be Lord

And repent of all your sin

He will come and save your soul

And come to live within

The Way is Now Open

Man once lived in a garden

That was pure and full of life

They had their choice of fruit

And berries brought delight

 

But one tree was forbidden

The tree of knowledge called

Good and evil it would show them

But God said don;t eat at all

 

But man was way to curious

And he ate forbidden fruit

So God blocked the way to life

From the garden man did go

 

Generations later

Jesus came to die

He’s the only way

To eternal life

 

The tree of life is open

To all who call on Him

So open up your heart

And ask Him to come in.

The Road Less Traveled

1 Reply

I’m not one to take a big chance

Or go out on a limb

Or venture into unknown waters

 

I tend to take the road more traveled

One that I know

That i’m comfortable with

That I’ve traveled before

 

I was at home in my unbelief once

Easy life down an easy road

No responsibility

No worries

 

Then I learned that road went

Where I did not want to go

It was a road well traveled

Going the wrong way

 

I heard about another road

One that took daring to travel

It led the right way

And it was much less traveled

 

I decided to choose the less traveled road

I accepted Jesus Christ

As Lord and Savior

Now I am on the right road

Won’t you come along with me?

Thoroughly Broken

Lost

Lost

Alone
Confused
Restless
Life out of control
That was me

Mind wasted
Body tested
Stomach molested
What a mess
Thoroughly Broken was I

Then
An old friend
A new story he told
About Jesus
Died just for me
On a tree

I asked Him In
Breakthrough to win
He is mine
I no longer was bound
He changed my life
Now I’m thoroughly alive
And I walk with Him all the time

Greatest Value Ever!

1 Reply

I like to find bargains

In the grocery store

It’s a challenge to find he best deal

And when I choose one

That seems like the best

I feel good that the bargain is real

 

Now groceries are one thing

We need them each day

To strengthen our bodies and minds

And the value we get

From the food that we eat

Is essential to everyday life

 

But the best value ever

Was the price that we pay

To have all our sins be wash away

Because it costs us nothing

The price has been paid

And I’m fee from my sin every day

 

Jesus gave His blood

There on the cross

And bore all my burden away

Now I can walk

In freedom and hope

Because Jesus blood made a way

More than Enough

2 Replies

I once did not know that grace was around

I squandered my life like a big circus clown

Mischief and parties were where I was bound

I didn’t give much thought to God

 

But then I learned that He loved me so much

And I heard His voice, and I felt His touch

I learned that He’s graceful, more than enough

To forgive me of all of my sin

 

So I asked Him then to make me His own

And I will eternally bow to His throne

Because of His grace I will not be alone

He will walk with me everyday
