My poems often turn into songs. I have recently discovered Suno where I can take those songs and create music for them. I think this one really came out nicely. let me know!

(verse 1)
Hallelujah, My God reigns
He reigns in beauty and majesty
He wraps his loving arms around me
Hallelujah, My God reigns

(verse 2)
Hallelujah, Jesus reigns
He reigns in power and authority
He sent His mercy to comfort me
Hallelujah, Jesus reigns

(chorus)
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns above the heaven and the earth
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns forevermore within my heart

(verse 3)
Holy Spirit, reign in me
Fill my life with humility
Give me words that I might win the lost
Holy Spirit, reign in me.

(chorus)
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns above the heaven and the earth
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns forevermore within my heart

(bridge)
He reigns in all my ways
He reigns in all my days
He reigns so I will praise
His wonderful name

(musical interlude)

He reigns in all my ways
He reigns in all my days
He reigns so I will praise
His wonderful name

(alternate chorus)
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns above the heaven and the earth
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns forevermore within my heart

(fade out)
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns
He reigns

Washed Away

Leave a reply 
A crowd gathered in the street
Welcoming the King
Palm leaves scattered on the ground 
Robes laid at His feet

Hosanna to the King who comes 
Riding on a colt 
Proclaiming highest praise to Him
Before the rocks cry out

He overturns the temple wares
Rebukes the Pharisees 
Tells stories of hard times to come
The crowd now disbelieves

By night they take Him quickly
A fast and unfair trial
He stands before the crowd again 
They shout crucify

A crowd gathered in the street
To mock this would be king
His body whipped and beaten down
He walks in suffering

Up to Calvary they go
Hands and feet are nailed 
They raise Him up for all to see
A sign says He is Lord 

Then He spoke three words of hope
Father forgive them
And all down through the ages 
His mercy now does win

He gave His life that day for us
No one took it from Him
Through His sacrifice for us
He's washed away our sin

Oh what a wonderful Savior
Who died that day for me
Purchased my salvation
From sin He set me free

Sweet Showing of Grace

Leave a reply 
The death angel roamed through the city
His mission he had to obey
The firstborn would die 
There’s be sorrow that night
For Pharaoh was stuck in his ways

The people of God were prepared for the angel
They took a new lamb to their care
For three days He stayed
Then a sacrifice made
The lamb was their meal to share

There was a sign for the angel to pass
So the firstborn would be left alive
If the blood was applied 
They all would survive
The death angel passed in the night

Sin has been passed to us from Adam’s seed
All are infected within
One day will soon come
The return of the Son
Will He find we have covered our sin

He shed His own blood as our Passover lamb
On that cruel cross so long ago
When His blood is applied
To the sin in our lives
He washes us whiter than snow

Be prepared for the day that the Son will return
Accept His sweet showing of grace
It’s for you that he died
In the tomb He did lie
Then in three days He rose from the grave

With Every Breath

He gave up all His glory
To come to earth a lowly child
No pomp or royal feast announced His birth
His childhood was quiet
Though His parents knew His fate
They knew just who He was and His great worth

Then when the time was comes
That He should start to show Himself
He submitted to the baptizing of John
The heavens opened wide
A voice spoke loud and clear
God said Behold This is my beloved Son

For three years He did preach
And heal the sick and raise the dead
As He put the wisdom of the wise to shame
The people followed close
The leaders of that day sought ways
They could rid themselves of Him and all His fame

The plot against Him thickened
When He tore the leaders down
They determined It was time for Him to go
They riled up the crowds
They condemned Him in great haste
Urged the crowd to cry out Crucify Him now

He was whipped and beaten
Spit upon, a crown of thorns
Then they nailed His hands and feet to that tree
He cried Father God forgive them
As He bowed and gave His life
Taking all my sin and shame, He set me free

He was buried
Stone secured Him
The hope they had was dead
Then early Sabbath morning
The guards fainted in dread
The stone rolled away
He arose from that old grave
Victory forevermore
For His children, young and old

With all that I have in me
With every breath I take
I will lift my song of praise up to the Lord
His worship fills my heart
And flows out through my lips
Forever He's the one that I adore

A Beautiful Sight

Leave a reply 
I look up at the stars tonight
All in their places and shining so bright
I say Lord what a beautiful sight
Your glory displayed in the skies tonight

Then the sun begins to cast its rays
Turning clouds crimson red from their pre-dawn grays
Golden beams stretch across my gaze
What a beautiful sight to start my day

As the sun crosses the sky His beauty grows
The trees wave their arms in praise below
The birds sing a song because they know
This beautiful sight is for all to behold

Then the dusk arrives and the sun begins to set
He paints the sky all across the west
His majesty is on display again
This beautiful sight brings day to end

Don't miss a single moment of His grace
No matter what may come He'll make a way
The beautiful sights He gives to us each day
Are a token of His love so give Him praise

Sometimes I Need

(Note:  I put these song to music this morning using Suno.  Here is a link.  https://suno.com/s/gwSTAv9KH4eQKB8k)

Sometimes I need guidance
Sometimes I need peace 
Sometimes I need refuge
From storms that never cease
Sometimes I need healing
From the pains my body feels
But most of all I need Jesus

Sometimes I need shelter 
Sometimes I need warmth
Sometimes I need friendship 
When I feel so all alone
Sometimes I need someone 
To tell my sorrows too
But most of all I need Jesus 

I need Him in the morning
I need Him through the day
I need Him in the evening
As the sun just drifts away
I need Him through the night
I need Him when I pray
I need Him every hour of every day

Sometimes I need comfort
Sometimes I need joy
Sometimes I need wisdom
When my dreams have been destroyed
Sometimes I need mending
When my heart is broke
But most of all I need Jesus

He is all these things to me
All of this and so much more
He fills my every longing
He’s what I’m living for
He’s always right beside me
In my darkest hours
He’s my ever-present help 
In time of need

I need Him in the morning
I need Him through the day
I need Him in the evening
As the sun just drifts away
I need Him through the night
I need Him when I pray
I need Him every hour of every day
