The house of worship
Is a place
That I hold very dear
The time I spend
Inside those walls
Bring me to God so near
The music starts
To play the tunes
Of His amazing grace
And soon our praise
Is lifted high
Filling up the place
Let’s go to the house of worship
Let’s sing with hands up raised
Let’s sing our Hallelujahs
Let’s give Jesus our praise
Our praises ring out
Higher still
I feel the Spirit come
He floods on in
To touch the saints
Who sing the worship songs
His presence there
Is oh so sweet
He reaches deep within
To comfort all
Brings healing too
And eases suffering
Let’s go to the house of worship
Let’s sing with hands up raised
Let’s sing our Hallelujahs
Let’s give Jesus our praise
What a mighty God we serve
He comes into our midst
He so desires our highest praise
I’ll always do my best
To worship Him with all my heart
My mind my soul my strength
I’ll raise my voice to heaven
To honor His great name
Let’s go to the house of worship
Let’s sing with hands up raised

Let’s give Jesus our praise
Many will say their life is just fine
And I think that’s terrific
But when they talk about what comes next
They don’t get too specific
Some say maybe heaven’s for me
Others think a party in hell
Some say they will just rot in the ground
And some just cannot tell
I’d like to get real specific today
There is only one good choice to make
Accept Jesus Christ and heaven’s your home
If not, then in hell you will bake
In response to the daily prompt Specific
I will sing of the wonderful love of Jesus
How he came to earth that day
He gave up His throne in the heavens
To be born in a stable of hay
I will sing of His wonderful mercy
And His amazing grace
I will sing my Hallelujah’s
And give Him all my praise
Bless His name
His lovely name
There’s no sweeter name than Jesus
Bless His name
So sweet the sound
Jesus, Jesus
I will sing of the teaching He brought us
How He showed the Fathers love
He healed the sick and the blind man
And delivered those who were bound
I will sing of the way He provided
For the crowds that gathered round
I will sing of His glorious presence
And make a joyful sound
Bless His name
His lovely name
There’s no sweeter name then Jesus
Bless His name
So sweet the sound
Jesus, Jesus
Then He gave His life
On a cross of shame
Crucified for me
Bless His Holy name
He died to set me free
And give me life eternally
Bless His name
His lovely name
There’s no sweeter name than Jesus
Bless His name
So sweet the sound
Jesus, Jesus
It dawns on creation
I watch
As wispy clouds
Dust the pre-dawn sky
With grey
Suddenly
A splash of pink
Announces an expected event
The pink turns
Into soft yellow
And gold begins to gild
The clouds
Brilliant gold
Encasing several yellow shapes
While bright red
And orange
Spread to clouds
Seemingly a distant
Ways off
Now the gilding subsides
Light starts to illuminate
The sky
And the eye
Of the sky
Starts creeping high
Brighter
And brighter
Welcoming
The new day
A beautiful poem and a must read
I am often tempted
In this world so full of sin
And III have so many battles
With this flesh I’m living iin
But when temptations come
I have Christ who helps me win
For He gives me the strength
To overcome them deep within
In response to the daily prompt Tempted

When you’re looking for a friend
To help you to the end
Turn to Jesus
When you’re looking for a healing
Because you’ve been ill feeling
Turn to Jesus
When you’re looking for some joy
‘Cause you feel your life’s destroyed
Or you need a little peace
To set your mind at ease
When you need a bunch of love
‘Cause this world can’t give enough
Turn to Jesus Christ

To meet all your needs
He will show you that He cares
When prayer is received
Please just turn to Him today
And look on His face
He will help you find your way
By amazing grace
When you get to a railroad crossing
You see signs everywhere
And often there’s a bar to keep you back
I figure you all see these signs
And take them serious
‘Cause if you don’t, you’ll wind up in a wreck
We see strange things a-brewin’
All around us anymore
The signs of the times are really clear
Jesus said He’s coming back
When these signs appear
Have you made Him your Savior and Lord
For when He returns in the clouds
A crossing will take place
For all of those who’ve given Him their lives
Those who are left behind
The worst of times they’ll face
Will you avoid that wreck and and save your life
In response to the daily prompt Crossing
