My Heavenly Father

1 Reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

Passing Grades

Leave a reply

Every day we face them

Tests to help us grow

Hopefully were ready

With what we need to know

Because passing grades define you

In the eyes of this old world

Each test will bring us closer

In the end we reach our goal.

 

More important then the testing

Is the subject we have picked

There’s one topic that we must pass

If we want to fully live

Four questions, answered right

Will a passing grade be given

Four questions that will change you

And ready you for heaven

 

Is Jesus Christ your Savior?

Have you asked Him to forgive?

Have you turned away from your sin?

Are you living to please him?

If you answered yes to all

Your salvation is assured

then you get the passing grade

And eternity in heaven

Will be your resting place

Is He Coming for You?

Leave a reply

He’s coming soon.  He’s coming for me

Because I asked Jesus to save me

I bowed me head and made my plea

And that’s why Jesus is coming for me

 

When Jesus died so long ago

He died a death that all should know

Because on the cross He saved our souls

My sin has been washed white as snow

 

But there is something I must say

Ask forgiveness right this day

And then repent and turn away

And walk in His way every day

 

I must apply the blood of Christ

To all the old life left inside

And let His Spirit override

My past of loving fleshly life

 

And as I do He will transform

My life to His desired form

I’ll see a new and living swarm

Of God’s desire becomes my own

 

And then He can work out the plan

He had for me when He began

To transform me by His sweet hand

So I’ll become a Godly man

 

And as I live my life for Him

He promised I’ll forever live

In heaven, and I’ll walk with Him

For all of time His praises give

 

He’s coming soon.  He’s coming for me

Because I asked Jesus to save me

I bowed me head and made my plea

And that’s why Jesus is coming for me

 

Is He coming for you?

Are You Finished?

Are you finished telling me that you don’t want to hear

About the love of Jesus, the friend I love so dear?

How He died to take your place so that you won;t have to fear

Where you will up up for eternity?

 

Well, I’m sorry, but I really have to ignore your request

Because i am unfinished in showing how your blessed

So I will keep on planting seeds whenever I assess

That you need Jesus just as much as me

 

He died for you, and took your sin

He provided peace and joy within

And one day you can enter in

To heaven’s wondrous doors

 

So won’t you come to him today

And He will wipe your sin away

He’ll brighten up your darkest day

With His wondrous love

Crossing Over

7 Replies

I was drowning

A mountain of sin  encompassed me

And I had no way out

Then I heard about Jesus

And His love for me

And His sacrifice to take away

my sin

And I took the jump

From sinner to saint

From sorrow to joy

From turmoil to peace

From doubt to faith

From worry to hope

From guilty to forgiven

From Hell to Heaven

Crossing over was easy

Won’t you take the jump?

Born Again

1 Reply

I was born to be holy; I was born to be free

I was born to take part in His ministry

I was born when the spirit came in like a dove

I was born when I accepted God’s own son

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

 

I was born to be righteous in Christ alone

I was born to live here but make heaven my home

I was born to praise Jesus with all of my heart

I was born to serve Him and to do my part

 

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder why

The God of the Heavens would come here to die

When I think of the mercy and grace He displayed

I can’t help but worship His wonderful name

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

Once upon a time I was a sinner
Caught up in a world of shame
I didn’t have much hope
And I really couldn’t cope
With the fact that I just could not change

Then I heard about a man named Jesus
They said He was the only Son of God
Because of His great love
He came down from above 
And sacrificed His life upon a cross

They told me if I’d just accept His mercy
And ask Him to come in my heart
He’d wipe away my sin
And give me peace within
And I would have a brand new start

I cried out and I asked Him to forgive me
And told Him I would make Him Lord
And now I have new life
‘Cause Jesus made things right 
I’ll live hap’ly ever after evermore 

Far From a Winner

It may seem irrational

Or even quite radical

That one man could make such a change

But I’m here to tell you

That this change is quite true

Through Jesus life was rearranged

 

From a dirty, ugly sinner

I was far from a winner

When I found out that He really loved me

I asked Him to come in

My life was cleansed from sin

And now I know He’ll meet all of my needs

 

So if you need a change

And life needs rearranged

Why don’t you cry to Jesus Christ today

He’ll gladly save your soul

And make your spirit Whole

Then guide you as you travel in His way

Elegance displayed

Leave a reply

Royal is a word we often hear

To describe the grandest of clothes

Or the rich way that decorators

Will garnish the walls of our homes

 

Regal means kingly attire

Garments that show majesty

I awe at their brilliance and splendor

And wonder how they’d look on me

 

But more Elegant was our Savior

As He died upon that tree

Wearing the blood of our sins

As a sacrifice for me

 

No love has been more beautiful

So much has never been given

As His elegant act to save us

And take us to heaven with Him
