The Resting Place

Leave a reply

I need to find a resting place

Where troubles will all cease

It seems the daily battles rage

And I can’t find His peace

 

I long to find a resting place

Where healing will be mine

It seems this worn out body

Gets sorer all the time

 

I hope to find a resting place

Where doubt is cast aside

Where faith is all that rules

My heart and soul and mind

 

I’m searching for a resting place

Where I can dwell in peace

I need a calm, assuring voice

To end my worried speech

 

And when the day is over

And my rhyme is almost done

A small voice whispers in my ear

And now I can rejoice

 

Jesus is the resting place

That I am longing for

In His arms your comfort waits

Come and make Him yours
He’ll heal you and deliver you

And peace will flood your soul

And soon you’ll find a quiet rest

That soothes and makes you whole

 

Come into the resting place

Where peace is all for you

Jesus is the resting place

He’s there awaiting you.

In The Midst of the Storm

Leave a reply

In the midst of the storm
When the lightning flashes
The thunder claps
And the rain drop splashes
The wind is howling
The storm clouds rolling
I cry out to the Lord to rescue me
And He’s in the middle of the storm

God’s in the middle of the storm
He is there with you
When you’re overwhelmed
God’s in the middle of the storm
You don’t have to fear
He will be right there
To walk you through the storm

There are storms in my life

That rage deep within

And I often will struggle

Wondering if I will win

As my storms create turmoil

And my heart faints with fear

I can turn to my Savior

Because He’s always near.

 

God’s in the middle of the storm
He is there with you
When you’re overwhelmed
God’s in the middle of the storm
You don’t have to fear
He will be right there
To walk you through the storm.

 

So when the storm clouds gather

And you’re not sure what to do

Just turn your eyes n Jesus

He will see you through

Yes, he will see you through

 

God’s in the middle of the storm
He is there with you
When you’re overwhelmed
God’s in the middle of the storm
You don’t have to fear
He will be right there
To walk you through the storm.

Living in this world has it’s moments

When it seems everything goes wrong

As a Christian if I witness with my comments

Theres a chance I won’t be free for very long

 

Because the Bible says that sin is only covered

By the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

And when we accept ths Son and are converted

We must turn away from sin amd walk with God

 

If I dare proclaim that sin is sin to some

There are those who’d say I’m speaking out of hate

And they would love to make a martyr of me

Because they don’t want to leave their sinful ways

 

It matters not what they might do to harm me

My calling is to preach the word of God

So excuse me if I follow what He tells me

I would rather follow Him than man’s applause

The Songs of Christmas

Leave a reply

Hear the songs of Christmas

Ringing in the air

Sounds that warm your heart

Meant for all to hear

 

Jingle Bells are jingling

Everywhere you go

Wishing Merry Christmas

To all who hear them toll

 

The First Noel has sounded

From choirs bringing cheer

Noel, Noel Born is the King

Is music to our ears

 

Precious songs of Christmas

Songs of warmth and cheer

Sung with all your heart

Every single year

 

And then a chorus fills the air

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Voices of the highest praise

Glory to the newborn King

 

Oh, little town of Bethlehem

A town we’ve grown to love

Is visited by three wise men

Who saw the star above

 

Sing the tale of Christmas

With familiar lines

From children to our elders

Enjoying every rhyme

 

Away in lowly manger

No room was found for them

In hay they laid their baby

And there His tale begins

 

Silent Night, Holy Night

When Jesus Christ was born

The songs of His appearing

Are songs that bring us joy

 

Joy to the World

Jesus Christ has come

Born to die for all mankind

Praise the Holy One

 

Sing the songs of Christmas

Lift your praise above

Sing with all your heart

Songs we know and love

In a Flash

Leave a reply

One day it’s going to happen

And it’s too far away

Jesus Christ will split the Eastern sky

And all have accepted Him

As Lord of all their lives

Will vanish as from earth they take their flight

 

Imagine all the chaos

That will happen on that day

When millions will be gone iin just a flash

If you don’t want to stay behind

Ask Jesus to come in

And you will rise with us because you asked

I Love The Name

​

I love to come into His house
And lift my voice in praise
Raise my hands up high
And lift His holy name

Jesus, name above all names 
Jesus, worthy of my praise
Jesus,  let my lips proclaim 
I love the name of Jesus

My voice will lift His mighty name
Each day I am alive
Loud Hosannas ring
His spirit testifies

Jesus, He’s the King of Kings 
Jesus, He’s the Lord of Lords 
Jesus, blessed forevermore 
I love the name of Jesus

My hands are raised to heav’n above 
I offer Him my life 
I want to be with Him
For all the rest of time

Jesus, every knee shall bow 
Jesus, sovereign Lord of all
Jesus, reigning over all
I love the name of Jesus

His name can move the mountains 
His name can calm the sea
His name can heal our sickness
And wipe out all disease
His name can wash our sins away 
His name can set us free
His name can fill our hearts desire
Supply all of our needs

Jesus, gave us His great love 
Jesus, His name is enough
Jesus, let my voice lift up
I love the name
The wondrous name
I love the name
of Jesus.

I used to be running scared all the time

That hell was awaiting me

I’d finally taken a look at myself

And realized I wasn’t free

This spiriitual evaluation

Then brought me to my knees

And I prayed a prayer to Jesus

And asked Him to forgive me

 

He did for me just as I asked

Then He made a change by decree

He just rearranged a few letters

To make scared into sacred for me

My life now is totally different

It’s a wonder that He set me free

So now I willl live for my Savior

And through Him, how sacred I’ll be!

That Baseball Card is Worth How Much?

1 Reply

Back so many years ago

When i was just a lad

I had a panoply of baseball cards

Today I sometimes weep

When I think of what would be

If I had kept them clean and in safe guard

 

But now I see my life

And I smile with no regrets

Because I’ve taken Jesus as my Lord

And he has given me

A panoply of blessings

That is much more precious that a million cards

I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing. (John 15:5, The Message)

In the U.S., the Thanksgiving holiday is over. Yet my thankfulness exceeds a five-day weekend feast.

I am incredibly thankful for the peace-filled place I am in, joined with Christ who led me into my Father’s embrace. God’s arms are full of unconditional love, extravagant compassion and outrageous grace and mercy.

My mission as a follower of Jesus is

to bring others back to Him. It is central to our good news that God was in Christ making things right between Himself and the world. This means He does not hold their sins against them. But it also means He charges us to proclaim the message that heals and restores…
