Give Your All

It only takes confession
Jesus Christ as Lord
Acceptance of His sacrifice
To take the place of yours

Do these things and you’ll be saved
From hells dark endless days
Your home will be in heaven
He’ll help you find your way

But why stand at the doorstep
When the blessings past the door
Go beyond the minimal
Give your all and reap rewards

Greater peace and joy are there
True hope and no more fear
Faith will come to drive out doubt
And He’ll wipe every tear

Give your all for Jesus
Give your all today
Give into the word of God
Let blessings come your way

I Love God and He Loves Me

I love God.  He loves me
What a blessed life I lead
New each day is His mercy
I love God and He loves me.

I love God and keep His word
Knowing I must tell the world
Of this love that never fails
I love God and He loves me

He loves me His promise clear
He has promised to be near
And to listen to my prayer
He loves me His promise clear

I love God and do my best
To follow all His commandments
They’ll testify to all the rest
I love God and do my best

He loves me and gives His grace
All my sins He does erase
And one day I shall see His face
He loves me and gives His grace

I love God and trust in Him
No matter what this life may bring
When trials come my heart will sing
I love God and trust in Him

God loves me and lends His hand
Helps me find His loving plan
His spirit helps me understand
God loves me and lends Hs hand

I love God and God loves me
What a blessed life I lead
I pray you will know His peace
I love God and God loves you

Many thanks

An extra post today
To thank you in my way
For you have made my day

You may ask me how
I got such a big wow
I’ll tell you here right now

Thius day is the first time
100 viewed my rhymes
I’m thrilled you took the time

So I give my thanks to you
To everyone who viewed
I pray God blesses you!

Your Children

I have to admit it’s true
I hope it’s not true of you
I have a tendency
To lack the decency
Of giving each person their due

I have been quilty for years
Of giving a label from fear
If someone is different
I get defiant
And judge them from what I can see

Lord, help me to have compassion
To all who I have interaction
Let me see their heart
And know that they are
A child of yours just as I am

Past the cherubim and the flaming sword

Lead to the slaughter like a sheep

My savior died

Taking my hand and leading me back to Eden

Back to the garden

Past the cherubim and the flaming sword

Beyond the veil we walk

And sitting there on the mercy seat

Is One from whom all life flows

My source

Abba Father

I see the most brilliant light

And colors so beautiful

I want to stay here in His presence forever

Thank you Jesus for bringing me back to Eden

Back to life

Back to the beginning

Back to my Source and Father

Past the cherubim and the flaming sword

Every Single Time

When I am down and feeling blue
I lift my eyes and look to you
Because I know you’ll see me through
Every single time

When I am sick or feeling pain
I look to you, Lord, yet again
Because I know your healing came
Every single time

Your mercy is remarkable
Your grace is ever free
I never will quite understand
The love you have for me

When I’m alone and feeling down
I look to you before I drown
Then you bring me to higher ground
Every single time

No eye can see
No tongue can tell
The greatness of your love
No one can start
To count the times
You’ve touched them from above

Your mercy is remarkable
Your grace is ever free
I never will quite understand
The love you have for me

Running To You

I’m running to you Lord, running to you
This world doesn’t offer the peace that you do
When I am in trouble you always come through
That’s why I’m running to you

I’m waiting on you Lord, waiting on you
Your timing is perfect.  You know what to do
My faith in your goodness will carry me through
That’s why I’m waiting on you

I can depend on your mercy
I can depend on your grace
I can depend that you’ll always do good
So I lift up my heart in praise

I’m hoping in you, Lord, hoping in you
When it comes to my future you know what I’ll do
No matter the storm you’ll carry me through
That’s why I‘m hoping in you

And when the storm clouds gather
And it seems there’s no way out
I’ll lift my hands to worship
I’ll lift my voice and shout
I know that you are with me
Through every trial and test
That’s why I’ll bring my praises
You deserve my best

I can depend on your mercy
I can depend on your grace
I can depend that you’ll always do good
So I lift up my heart in praise
 

Lord of All

If you will put your trust in Him
The one who saved you from your sin
The one who died upon that cross
Jesus, Lord of all

Then He will wipe away your tears
You’ll conquer doubt, you’ll conquer fear
Because His strength will pull you through
Jesus, Lord of all

There s no mystery to this
He conquered death so we could live
His Spirit lives within us now
Jesus, Lord of all

I will lift my voice n praise
To the one who my life saved
Gives me victory each day
Jesus, Lord of all

 

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Conquer

If You Could, Would You?

If you could walk up to a bind man
And pray that he would see
Then watch as his eyes opened
Would you?

If you could touch a deafened ear
And proclaim that he could hear
And watch as he rejoiced
Would you?

If you could look up at a storm cloud
And ask it to change course
Then watch as blue skies opened
Would you?

If you could see the homeless hurting
And give them food to eat
Then watch as they gained favor
Would you?

Well, you can
In Jesus mighty name
You can
All these things are possible
With faith
Step out of your comfort zone
And pray
That they be saved
And healed today

If your finances were hurting
Your desire was to give
To a needy missionary
Would you?

If someone asked for prayer
When you met them on a street
And you said you’d pray for them
Would you?

If a friend offended you
Very deeply in your heart
And asked you to forgive
Would you?

Well, you should
Trusting God each moment
You should
All these things are needful
For your peace
Don’t delay one moment
Follow through
So that God will bless you
And bless those around you
With His love

A Brand New Start

When I accepted Jesus my friends thought I was nuts
I’d always been the party guy, no ifs, ands or buts
Now I spoke of love and peace, and they all turned their nose
They thought that I had lost my mind, and I should turn and go

But I persisted in my way of telling them the truth
There was no controversy on the change that I’d gone through
And as I witnessed of the cross, and what He’d done for me
They slowly opened up their minds so I could help them see

One, then two, then a couple more finally gave in
They asked me how they too  could know this freedom from within
I told them it was simple, just ask Jesus in your heart
He will come just as He said, giving you a brand new start
