What God Can Do

by Pete, posted in Daily Prompt, Poetry

He placed the stars in heaven one by one
He made the earth the moon and the sun
He set them all in flight
They move both day and night
To make this planet just the place for us

He made a man from dust that was the earth
He breathed into the man his spirit birth
Then He took a rib
And made a wife Him
So they would multiply and fill this earth

It is incredible what God can do
It is phenomenal He does this for you
It is remarkable that he loves you
Isn’t it wonderful this is all true

He sent His only Son to take all our sins
Died on a cruel cross our victory to win
Then He rose again
Eternal life to gain
He did it all so we’ll be with Him

It is incredible what God can do
It is phenomenal He does this for you
It is remarkable that he loves you
Isn’t it wonderful this is all true

Worthy Are You Lord

by Pete, posted in Poetry

When I wake from my night’s sleep
Then I find my soul did keep
In my heart I gently weep
With joyful praise to God

When my feet first hit the floor
Then I walk right to the door
My spirit lifts up high and soars
To sing the highest praise

Worthy are you Lord, my keeper
Worthy are you God most high
Worthy are you Lord, my strength and shield
Worthy are you Jesus Christ

When my eyes behold the light
Then I look to sunrise bright
My soul rejoices in His sight
My voice sings out His song

Worthy are you Lord, my refuge
Worthy are you God most high
Worthy are you Lord, my joy and peace
Worthy are you Jesus Christ

All that I am
All that I will be
All that I can fathom
Dwells in thee
All the mercy
All the grace you give
Never ending fountain
Come from thee

Worthy are you Lord, my Savior
Worthy are you God most high
Worthy are you Lord, you set me free
Worthy are you Jesus Christ

My Dream was Toast

by Pete, posted in Daily Prompt, Poetry

I once was a full fledged hippie
My hair was scraggly and long
I usually didn’t look pretty
And my smell always seemed very strong

Back then I wrote a story
About a man who grew to be rich
By the time he was 25
Millions had come as he wished

This story became my dream
But my lifestyle was not even close
As I approached that golden age
I thought that my dream was toast

Then I met Jesus my Savior
And I gave my life to Him
Now the riches of heaven are all mine
And His promises fill me within

Maybe I don’t have the money
That the dream said I would have
But the riches of heaven far surpass
Anything else I could have asked.

Open the Flood Gates

by Pete, posted in Poetry

His mercy and grace abounded to me
When I saw the blood at Calvary
Was meant to pardon and set me free
The flood gates were open wide

Now when I look up at that old rugged cross
I now longer see the life that was lost
My eyes now are open to know of the cost
He paid just to give me life

Wonderful Savior
Glorious Lord
Abounding in mercy
Fulfilling your word
Perfect redemption
Bought with your blood
I lift your praise up high

Open the flood gates of mercy today
Open them wide so all can be saved
Open my mouth so I’ll declare your ways
Sharing the message of life

My heart will worship
My lips will praise you
My soul will honor your name
My voice will sing out
Hosanna to Jesus
Open the flood gates of praise

Wonderful Savior
Glorious Lord
Abounding in mercy
Fulfilling your word
Perfect redemption
Bought with your blood
I lift your praise up high

 

A New Painting

by Pete, posted in Daily Prompt, Poetry

I love a brilliant sunrise
When the clouds are gilded in gold
Seeing this marvel unfolding
Is something that never grows old

Then as the sun is leaving
The sunset is equally grand
A new painting  done every minute
By the master’s loving hand

So beautiful is this ceation
It’s hard to imagine much more
But the wonder of His sweet mercy
Is an aesthetic I can’t ignore

He forgave all of our sins
By sending His son to die
Then He shows His wonderful grace
By giving eternal life

The next time you see some beauty
Just remember that Jesus loves you
Then you will see that His mercy
Like that painting is always new

He is Fair, He is Just, He is Good

by Pete, posted in Poetry

I know that we all go through our struggles
At times we feel that God misunderstood
But we always must remember He us with us
He is fair
He is just
He is good

I have had those times when things seem so useless
Things just don’t turn out the way we think they should
Remember He is with me in the valley
He is fair
He us just
He is good

He is fair He is just He is good
He is fair He is just He is good
When I may not understand
He still holds me in His hand
He is fair He is just He is good

The next time you are caught up in your problems
When you’ve done all that you can and then you stood
Look to Jesus who will never leave you helpless
He is fair
He is just
He is good

He is fair He is just He is good
He is fair He is just He is good
When I may not understand
He still holds me in His hand
He is fair He is just He is good

Blessings Cup

by Pete, posted in Daily Prompt, Poetry

Sometimes things come to an end
It’s time to say goodbye
I bid farewell and move on past
A tear drops from my eye

Then out of nowhere comes a note
Of an incipient place
Where all of it can start again
Like nothing was erased

Our thanks to Sheryl for the time
She took to start this up
I pray it works the way she wants
And fills her blessing cup

Hello Fellow Bloggers Who Miss The Daily Prompt

A New Daily Prompt for all of you who miss that aspect of WordPress. Starts today!

Your Daily Word Prompt

A New Daily Prompt

Starting tomorrow on June 11th, 2018 I will post a daily word prompt. 

The appearance of this prompt site will be different from the Daily Prompt from WordPress for now. If this site is successful and there is enough daily participation I will look into adding the block image links.

For now, it’s simple. I will provide a Daily word prompt and a URL link to copy and paste into your post.  You can do this by putting it at the bottom or highlighting a word and making that word the URL link. If you have questions let me know.

Once you have a post that is linked you can put your post link into the comment line with a small comment or description. Readers can click on your link to visit your site.

This prompt is for words and images. The goal is to have fun and share your…

That Wand’ring Spirit

by Pete, posted in Poetry

There are times that I get caught up in the battle
My enemies will come to taunt and shout
It seems my situation will defeat me
And all that taunting starts to grow my doubt

Then I hear a voice so gently come and whisper
It’s the voice of my dear Savior calling me
My son do not be troubled by the trial
It’s there to make you all that you can be

I let this trial come so you would trust me
No matter what the circumstances bring
If you will just determine to go through it
You’ll find that soon your soul will dance and sing

I’ll give you strength to hold up under pressure
I’ll give you hope to come and light the way
I’ll give you joy and peace to calm your spirit
And you will see the victory one day

I slowly heard the voice of doubt go weaker
The taunting want it’s evil way as well
The only voice I heard no was my Savior
Guiding me out of that wand’ring spell

The trouble quickly faded into nothing
As I determined I would trust His word
I knew that I had grown a little stronger
The next storm would not throw as much a curve

He gave me strength to hold up under pressure
He gave me hope to come and light the way
He gave me joy and peace to calm my spirit
I now I see the victory today
