Is Fear Stalking?

5 Replies

I remember back when I was young
I loved the drive-in movies
We’d go in bunches to enjoy
The big screen from our Chevy’s

The movies that I liked the most
Were one’s that made me scream
Creature features were the best
I felt I had to see them

Today I steer away from fear
I’d rather have His peace
Why fill my life with dread and drear
When from fear I’m released

If fear is stalking you today
If life seems rather scary
Just ask the Lord to help you pray
He’ll take away your worry.

He Covered Me

2 Replies

I will not be denied
The blessings of the Lord
He’s laid them out for all the world to see
I’ll seek His will each day
I’ll draw close to His side
Then I’ll become what he wants me to be

Mercy flowing freely
For His mercy covered me
I’ll always see the best in everyone
Grace that covers mistakes
For His grace has covered me
Forgiving and forgetting those things done

Joy that never ceases
For His joy has covered me
No matter what the test I still feel blessed
Peace that calms my spirit
For His peace has covered me
The storms of life all pass me as I rest

Hope for life eternal
For His hope has covered me
Nothing can distract me from my goal
Love that knows no bounds
For His love covered me
The love of God will fill my heart and soul

Then when the day is over
When the sun is settling down
I will know that all these blessings guide my life
I’ll climb into my bed
Then I’ll lift my praise to God
For keeping me attracted to His light

I will not be denied
The blessings of the Lord
He promised them for all the world to see
You too can claim them now
There close within your grasp
Just give your all each day
Make Him your only way
Then all these blessings will be yours to keep

Survival

You say you can’t find rest
That there’s too much going on
Your brain just can’t turn off the thoughts inside
You say you can’t find joy
That this world is such a mess
The terrors are what causes you to hide

You say you can’t find hope
Because things just spin round and round
There seems to be no future up ahead
You say you can’t find love
In this crazy mixed up world
So you stay inside the safety of your head

I can sympathize with you
Because I’ve been there before
It is not a very fun place to live
One day I turned a corner
Everything became all right
I knew that surely now I would survive

You see, I met Jesus
I asked Him to save me
I asked Him to be Lord of my life
Now all the world’s distractions
Can’t phase me in the least
He’s given more than I could buy

Peace in every storm
Joy in every sorrow
Hope when all the hope escapes me
Love that’s everlasting
Mercy for all time
Grace so amazing and so free

You can know this Jesus
He can do the same for you
Just open up your heart and let Him in
You never will regret it
He’ll be there every day
To brighten up the new life you begin

He Comforts Me (Video)

This is the promised video recording of the song I wrote two day ago.  It i far from perfect, but it will give you an idea of what the melody sounded like in my head when He gave it to me early Thursday morning.

Safe and Sound

Perplexed is not the right word
To describe where I had been
Dazed and confused is closer
To really know my life of sin
I was puzzled trying to find a way
I could ever be clean within
Until I met the Savior of my soul

Jesus took perplexity
And turned it into joy
Dazed He tuned to peace
Confused was not my hope
My puzzled days were over
When His love took over me
Now I’m safe and sound for all to see.

The Culture of Peace Love and Dope

4 Replies

I wish it was different in our world today
I wish people had more respect
But this will not be
As long as we see
A culture profuse with neglect

Neglect of accountability
Neglect of respect for the law
Not knowing what’s right
Not having the light
No care for morality

We seem to have lost our way somewhere
In the culture of peace love and dope
Now true joy is gone
Real peace never dawns
Most people have lost all their hope

But there is a hope that is sure
One that never will fail to win
Just turn to the one
Who’s Gods only Son
All you need can be found in Him

His perfect love
Is casting out
The fear inside
That comes with doubt

His bubbling joy
Has overcome
The sorrow felt
By hurtful ones

He comforts me
He comforts me
His watchful eye stays fixed on me
When I am weak
His strength I see
His loving hands take hold of me

His calming peace
Has overwhelmed
The roaring storm
That I had felt

His blissful hope
Is filling me
With thoughts of life
He’s all I need

And when the shadows block the sunshine
And my day turns into night
He parts the clouds and brings a rainbow
To let me know all things are right

He comforts me
He comforts me
His watchful eye stays fixed on me
When I am week
His strength I see
His loving hands take hold of me me

His blissful hope
Is filling me
With thoughts of life
He’s all I need

 

I will be recording this soon. Watch for it.

So Should I

I have seen His brilliant sunrise
I have seen the heavens glow
I have seen the shooting star fly through the sky
I have seen the tow’ring storm clouds
I have seen the lightning flash
I have seen the brilliant stars shine in the night

All creation shows His glory
All creation shows His beauty
All creation sings His praises
So should I
So should I

I have heard the songbirds singing
I have heard the leaves in gales
I have heard the north wind blowing in the night
I have heard the sleet and hail
I have heard the babbling brook
I have heard the thunder roar it’s sounds of fright

All creation shows His glory
All creation shows His beauty
All creation sings His praises
So should I
So should I

I will show the world His glory
By the life I live each day
I will tell them of His mercy
By my words and by my ways
I will lift the name of Jesus
As creation does each day
He is worthy or my worship
He is worthy of my praise

All creation shows His glory
All creation shows His beauty
All creation sings His praises
So should I
So should I
