More Than Enough for Me

More peace when I believe
More joy abundantly
More grace from Calvary
You’re more than enough for me

More hope within my dreams
More mercy for my need
More love flows like a stream
You’re more than enough for me

More than enough for me
More than enough for me
Jesus my Lord
It’s you I adore
More than enough for me

More than my heart can imagine
More than my mind can grasp
More than my soul has ever seen
Your strength will always last

More than the stars in the heavens
More than the sand of the sea
More than a number I can count
Are your precious thoughts of me

More than enough for me
More than enough for me
Jesus my Lord
It’s you I adore
More than enough for me

Precious Treasures

I placed the stars in the heavens
I painted the rainbows hue
I taught the birds how to sing
I did this all for you

I brought the rain in due season
I capped the mountains with snow
I started rivers and streams
My love for you for to show

For you are my precious treasures
Each one of you dear to me
Don’t ever believe
My love is not real
Remember the marvels you see

I cause the flowers to bloom
I bring the fruit of the vine
I gave you all this creation
So you would know you are mine

Not a day goes by that my love will fade
Not a minute can block my desire
To be close to you
And all that you do
I’m so glad that you are alive

For you are my precious treasures
Each one of you dear to me
Don’t ever believe
My love is not real
Remember the marvels you see

A Mouthpiece for Jesus

What’s it about oh Lord my God
These words you give to me
Each day that goes by bring more and more
They never seem to cease

I write only what I hear from you
I write at those times you speak
Your voice comes so gentle yet so clear
As your presence I do seek

Sometimes it’s a poem of rhythmic gait
Sometimes it is in free verse
Sometimes it’s a song and melody
Sometimes it’s a chorus of praise

You then have my post on the blog as you ask
Then onto my Facebook page
With the mission complete I pray they will touch
Many lives with your wisdom that day

But what’s it about to you my Lord
What is it that you require
Am I doing all that I can do
Because that is my heart’s desire

My son just keep on listening and writing my words
Your mission is clear as day
I’ve chosen you to be a mouthpiece of mine
To show all my children my ways

You have been faithful in so many ways
Through good times and horrible trials
You’ve listened and written with joy in your heart
The words that have brought many smiles

I’ll keep asking you to write down these words
As sure as the sun will rise
Don’t worry about the timing or length
And don’t be concerned with the whys

You are reaching a people I love very much
With words that they need to hear
And it will continue as long as you keep
A longing and attentive ear

With that I bowed down and wept in my heart
As I realized my task
I’ll write every word for your benefit
Because that us what He has asked

And all of your likes and comments each day
Will bring blessings that never depart
I’ll know beyond doubt that He’s working through me
To bring joy and peace into your hear

I thank you my Lord for the mercy you’ve shown
To make me a Psalmist for you
Forever I offer myself as your scribe
Do with me as you want to do.

His Light Speaks

Three in the morn
Darkness
Fills the skies
Fills the air
Fills my sight
Cloud fused moonlight
Stars obscured
Street light shine in town
Some house lights ondarkne
To keep the darkness out
But out on the path
Way at the end
No light filters in
Eyes don’t see the trail
Flashlight needed to navigate
Finding my way
In the dark
Solitude
Quiet all around
No one else moving
No dogs barking
No cars moving
No birds singing
Only the sound of silence
Fills the air
Beautiful quiet
In which to pray To meditate
To reflect on God’s goodness
He speaks
I listen
I hear
Poems come
Return to house
I write
You read
Mercy flows
All are blessed
By the darkness
Into which His light speaks

I Will Bow My Knee (Music Video)

This is not the poem that I write Sunday put to music.  This chorus was given to me Sunday morning.  I was preparing for the service and planning to read that poem, called “I Will Bow My Knee”.  As I leaned on the piano asking God for guidance during the service (I was preaching also), He gave me this chorus.  Today, he asked me to record it and post it for all of you.  Hope you are blessed by it, but more than that, I hope God is glorified through it.

 

 

Wonder of Wonders

Stars shining bright
Sprinkle the night
Far distant light
Glorious sight

Flowers that bloom
Thunderstorms loom
Threatening doom
Late afternoon

Wonder of wonders Jesus provides
King of creation came here to die
Lord of Lords pardoned my sin and my shame
Wonder of wonders Jesus His name

Lungs breathing air
Eyes focused here
Ears that do hear
Body so dear

He put this vessel together
That I would bring glory to Him
All I can do is lift up His name
And give all my praises to Him

Wonder of wonders Jesus provides
King of creation came here to die
Lord of Lords pardoned my sin and my shame
Wonder of wonders Jesus His name

Where, Oh Where, Is the Daily Prompt

It seems I may have missed something along the merry way
I haven’t seen a daily prompt since the end of May
I hope that WordPress has not made this wonder go away
It’s so much fun to face the test every single day

So WordPress if you’re listening please bring this true test back
My day will not be full if this is something that I lack
And I’m sure I’m not alone in my thinking on this fact
This popular attraction should never be attacked!

I Will Bow My Knee

O’er the mountains grandeur
O’er the fruited plains
O’er the rolling oceans
Jesus always reigns

O’er the swaying treetops
O’er the dawning rays
O’er the painted sunsets
Jesus is His name

King of Kings eternal
Lord of Lords is He
Glorious and mighty
I will bow my knee

I will bow me knee in reverence
I will bow my head in awe
I will bow myself before Him
Jesus Lamb of God

King of Kings eternal
Lord of Lords is He
Victorious Redeemer
I will bow my knee

I will lift my voice in worship
I will lift my heart in praise
I will lift my hands adoring
Jesus is His name

King of Kings eternal
Lord of Lords is He
Worthy of all glory
I will bow my knee

Signs

The storm gathers
The thunder roars
Lightning fills the sky
The wind billows
The air is humid
Amazement fills my eyes

I can see the signs of a thunderstorm
As it travels from afar
I know enough to find shelter
To protect me from its harm

The wars are raging
The earth is groaning
The weather changes fast
The people fighting
The darkness gaining
His time has come at last

These are the signs of His coming
You can see them bright and clear
He’ll soon part the Eastern sky
And meet us in the air

One day the trump will sound
All the saved shall fly away
If you don’t know the Savior
Repent and be saved today

Downright Weird

There used to be a TV show as silly as could be
You often could not figure out just what you’re going to see
From silliness to downright weird they’d throw these skits at you
You’d find yourself just laughing ’cause it was the thing to do

Today we don’t have Laugh-In or any show that’s close
Well maybe He-Haw fits the bill but that’s not what I chose
I’ll choose the joy of Jesus that He gives me everyday
My spirit always can partake of His amazing grace

In response to the daily prompt Partake
