I sit here thinking what to do
In early morning hours
I’ve been awake for quite a while
And I’ve taken my shower
And then I see my email
Has a message just for me
So I move the mouse on over
And I take a little peek
It’s the daily prompt, oh goody
Now I’ve got something to do
And in the privacy of my lounge chair
I write this poem to you
In response to the daily prompt Privacy
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Overwhelms me every day
And I find that I am trusting
In His mercy and His grace
When I think about His majesty
And How He reigns supreme
I can’t fathom why he gave His life
To save a wretch like me
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Reaches out to touch my heart
And I find that I am resting
In the peace He does impart
When I think about His royalty
The King of Kings is He
I am awed that he would take the time
To walk beside of me
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Fills me with a raging fire
Beckons me to tell all that I meet
They are His hearts desire
I am a poem composer
And in way of a disclosure
I give my Jesus exposure
Because I love Him so
He took my life from chaos
Where I was headed for great loss
He paid such a great cost
Because He loved me so
So now I praise with a shout
To tell what He’s all about
His message has to get out
Because He loves you so
In response to the daily prompt Exposure
I wait for you
In the quiet night
To come and shed
Your glorious light
I got my letter the other day
Directly from the SSA
The wrote me to gladly say
Disability approved
Right now my job I cannot do
Cancer has my chemo due
I have to see the program through
To make my cancer cured
So writing blogs now fills my days
It seems more overworked always
But I have so much left to say
Enjoying this tiime off
In response to the daily prompt Overworked
I’m waiting for the sunrise
The air is filled with fog
I know the light will be delayed
But it will come along
When all the fog burns off
And sunlight fills the sky
I’ll see the gorgeous frosted trees
As we go driving by
I love a winters frosting
It makes the day go right
To see the glistening branches
Reflecting the sunlight
I only hope that my life
Is a little like this day
That others see the love of Christ
Reflect in what I say
Not only in the words I speak
But in all that I may do
Lord please let my reflection
Always show that I love you
I still remember when I first met Jesus
Sitting on a couch in Iowa
He came into my heart
Gave me a brand-new start
I knew that He was with me all the way
It’s been over 40 years since that day
When the burden of my sin was washed away
Since then I’ve learned to pray
And to follow in His ways
But most of all I’ve learned to praise His name
My heart cries out to praise Him
For all He’s done for me
His mercy’s overwhelming
His grace is sweet indeed
I lift my hands in worship
To Jesus Christ my King
My heart cries out to praise Him
He is my everything
Today I know He teaches me His truth
And He’s become my guiding light
I trust in Him always
I know He plans my days
I will never be out of His sight
And should this day bring troubles
That make me doubt and fear
I know He’ll comfort me
And in His arms I’ll be
Safe and sound, His love will be so near
My heart cries out to praise Him
For all He’s done for me
His mercy’s overwhelming
His grace is sweet indeed
I lift my hands in worship
To Jesus Christ my King
My heart cries out to praise Him
He is my everything
You may have seen I got a little antsy
And hit the publish button way to soon
And my asthetic post
Went out with too much haste
So I changed what this quick post was going to do
I was going to talk about my Saviors beauty
Asthetically He’s way beyond compare
Instead I think I’ll say
I’ll praise Him everyday
And hope that you will help me fill the air
Fill it with His praises
Loud Hosannas ring
Fill it with your worship
Of Jesus Christ our King
Fill with Hallelujahs
Lift your voice and sing
Fill the air with praises
To Jesus Christ our King
In response to the daily prompt Aesthetic
The desire wells up within me
Until I cannot contain it inside
My heart starts to beat a bit faster
And my hands lift up high to the sky
I raise my voice to the heavens
And His praise comes flowing out
My feet cannot keep from dancing
As I worship my Lord with a shout
I lift Him up
The name of Jesus Christ
I lift Him up
The one who gives new life
I lift Him up
My Savior and my Lord
The one that I adore
The King of Kings forever
I lift Him up
I sense His presence around me
As I lift up my voice and sing
Eternal Hallelujahs
To Jesus Christ my King
I lift Him up
The name of Jesus Christ
I lift Him up
The one who gives new life
I lift Him up
My Savior and Lord
The one that I adore
The King of Kings forever
I lift Him up
He is to be magnified, Jesus
He is to be glorified, Jesus
He is to be exalted
Jesus Christ my Lord
I lift Him up
The name of Jesus Christ
I lift Him up
The one who gives new life
I lift Him up
My Savior and Lord
The one that I adore
The King of Kings forever
I lift Him up
Perhaps you don’t have peace today
Or your joy has just run out
Maybe hope has vanished
And your life is filled with doubt
Maybe trials and troubles
Are closing in real fast
You don’t know where to turn to
And you wonder if you’ll last
There’s an open invitation
That is waiting just for you
Jesus knocking on your heart
He wants to comfort you
Won’t you ask Him in today
With a simple little prayer
“Jesus come into my heart,
I’m trusting in your grace”
Now just thank Him for His peace
Though you may not feel it yet
Thank Him for His love
And he joy He’s fill you with
But most of all just thank Him
That He waited just for you
To accept His invitation
Now to Him be ever true
In response to the daily prompt Invitation
