After The Blessing

Leave a reply 
After the blessing is over
After your song is gone
How do you act in the valley
When all is said and done?
When you are not on the mountain
But falling into the abyss 
How do you lift yourself upward
And handle the times such as this?
There's no better time to praise Him
For the mercy He's shown to you
He never will leave you hopeless
He sees everything you do
He'll walk through that valley with you
And pull you up from the abyss
So don't be distraught or down hearted
He's there for a time such as this
Remember He died for your sins
And He rose to give eternal life
The stripes on His back bring you healing
And His peace will forever abide
He gives you the air that you breath 
And He waters the earth with His rain
The sun light is there at His pleasure
And He brings them again and again
There is no lacking in His sweet mercy
Or the grace that He shows you each day
So forget what you think of as blessings
The lesser things here are His way
And please never cease to praise Him
Even when through the valley you go 
For your praises will lift up your spirit
More than you'll ever know.



Day Of Wonder

Leave a reply 
I’ve been sitting here this morning
Wondering what to do
Searching for the words
To worship you
It’s another day of wonder
Another day of grace
And I desire to look 
Upon your face
So I’ll sing Holy, Holy
Holy is your name
I sing Glory, Glory
Lift your name in praise
I’ll sing Worthy, Worthy
Worthy are you Lord
I’ll sing Jesus, Jesus
It’s you that I adore
For you bring love into my heart
Every day
You bring joy into my soul
All the way
You bring peace into my mind
As I pray
I love you Lord. I love you Lord
So I’ll sing Holy, Holy
Holy is your name
I sing Glory, Glory
Lift your name in praise
I’ll sing Worthy, Worthy
Worthy are you Lord
I’ll sing Jesus, Jesus
It’s you that I adore




The Flow

Leave a reply 
There is a fountain of life
That flows from Calvary’s tree
It comes from God above
And washes over me
But when it hits my heart
It’s not for me to hold
I have an obligation
That others must be told

There is a river of hope
That tells me heaven’s my home
There is no doubt of where
I’ll rest when life is o’er
This hope should flow through me
To others that I know
For I am just a vehicle
To bring friends into the fold

There is a stream of joy
That flows throughout my heart
It reminds me of the blessings¬¬¬
He does to me impart
These blessings are for everyone
Who call upon His name
So I must share this joy
By giving Him all praise

There is a flood of peace
That keeps me safe and warm
It flows from knowing God
Is always on the throne
My friends all need this peace
In this chaotic world
So I must let it flow through me
To touch and make them whole

And last there is His love
That flows eternally
It reaches out to everyone
No matter what they be
I must tell all I come to know
Of this great love divine
So the love, joy, peace, hope, life He brings
Will not just stay as mine

This Christmas Day

It’s Christmas Day
The night is done
The Sky is bright
The child has come

The angels sang
Their joyous song
The shepherds came
Here they belong

The kings have seen
The brightest star
And they have traveled
From afar

It’s your turn now
What will you do
This little child
Has come for you

He came to teach
You how to live
He came tow you
How to give

He came to bring
God down to man
He came to prove
God’s loving plan

He came to die
For all your sins
He came to rise
To Heaven again

Will you accept
His sacrifice
Will you receive
Eternal life

The Christmas Day
Receive this Child
The Son of God
Emmanuel

The Day After

Leave a reply 
The day has quickly past 
The gifts are all unwrapped 
The wrappings have been swiftly thrown away
The Christmas feast is done
Guests have all gone home
Now you rest from such a busy day 

Your mind goes drifting back
To the year that has just past  
You write down all the wonderful events
Then you start to plan
For the year that is at hand
Hoping to achieve the very best

You start to make a list
Of thinks that you would wish
Would come true in the coming year
Perhaps this year would be
A good year to agree
A closer walk with God would be so dear

Take more time to pray
Read the word each day
Listen for the sound of His sweet voice 
Help those who have needs
Be a friend indeed
Always strive to make the righteous choice

Tell God all your fears
Let Him dry your tears
He will fill your heart with His sweet peace
Bring your needs to Him
And you will always win
All your doubts and worry He’ll release

With these resolutions
We know that the conclusion
Will open up a year that’s full of life
So please take time to pray
That you would find a way
To have a closer walk with Jesus Christ

Christmas Poetry

It’s Christmas Day

Leave a reply 
It’s a day of great excitement
It’s a day of warmth and mirth
It’s a day of friends and family
It’s Christmas Day

It’s a day to exchange presents
It’s a day to have a feast
It’s a day share an eggnog
It’s Christmas Day

It’s a day we all year long for
It’s a day we hope for snow
It’s a day of favorite music
It’s Christmas Day

But more than all these wonderful things
More than almost anything
It’s a day that we all celebrate
The birthday of the King

For Jesus came to earth this day
In a lowly manger He did lay
He came to take our sins away
On this Christmas Day

Let’s all make sure we celebrate
The birthday of our Savior great
Who came to die in our place
On this Christmas Day

The Best Gift

Leave a reply 
What can I give you this Christmas
That would really touch your heart
What gift would last for your lifetime
What gift could rise off the charts

I could give you joy that will keep you
Through every hard day that you see
This joy would be deep down inside you
And would rise up whenever you need

I could give you peace that is lavish
That is more than this world has known
This peace would endure through the hard times
Because it’s peace that you always will own

I could give you hope for the future
Even when things look so bleak
You’ll have a hope that will always endure
And will carry you when you’re weak

Or maybe it’s love that you need
In a world where there is not enough
I could fill you with all you’re in need of
So your brimming to top with this love

After thinking all of this over 
I’ve decided to give you a gift
One that comes with all that I’ve mentioned
One that lasts every day that you live

I give you Jesus, who died for your sins
Jesus, who gives you a new life within
Jesus, who asks you to please let Him in
So He can bring all these gifts

You can accept Him if only you’ll pray
Jesus, I’ve sinned, and I’ll stop today
I know that you died for my sin on that day
And all of my sins you will now take away
You rose again from the depths of the grave
To give me a life in heaven to stay,

If you prayed that prayer, that is enough
You have all the gifts that are listed above
And you’ll always be surrounded by love
Because Jesus now lives in you.

Music To My Ears

Leave a reply 
When I think about the fact
That He left His royal throne
I can’t help but praise His name
When I think about the fact
In a stable He was born
I can’t help but praise His name
When I think about the star
That led the wise men there
And the great angelic choir
That the shepherds saw in fear
When I think about His love
To become a babe so dear
I can’t help but praise His name

Bless His name.  His mighty name
The name of Jesus is so sweet and so fair
Bless His name.  The matchless name
The name of Jesus is music to my ears

When I think about the fact
He bore the stripes for me
I can’t help but praise His name
When I think about the fact
That He died to set me free
I can’t help but praise His name
When I think about the pain
That He endured for me
How He gave His life for all
That day at Calvary
When I think about the grace
That He poured out for me
I can’t help but praise His name

Bless His name.  His mighty name
The name of Jesus is so sweet and so fair
Bless His name.  The matchless name
The name of Jesus is music to my ears

I’ll sing His praise
Every day
With Loudest voice
And hands up-raised
I’ll lift Him high
With all my might
The wondrous name
Of Jesus

Bless His name.  His mighty name
The name of Jesus is so sweet and so fair
Bless His name.  The matchless name
The name of Jesus is music to my ears

Meek and Mild

Leave a reply 
She came riding on a donkey
From many towns away 
Ready to give birth to her first child 
The ride she took was rugged
The trail sometimes was steep 
Her journey would go on for many miles

Joseph walked and held the reins
Guiding her along 
Wishing he could ease the pain she felt
When they reached their destination 
Relief did fill their souls
They sought a room to settle for the night

The innkeeper did all He could
To find for them a room 
But a stable was the only place he had
Mary's child was born that night
In a manger filled with hay 
Wrapped in rags the blessed Savior lay

Meek and mild
Mother and child
Filled all prophecy that night 
Angels praised
Shepherds gazed 
Below the star so bright

Shepherds watching flocks that night 
Were summoned by the angels
Go and see the babe in Bethlehem 
He us Savior Christ to all
Peace is what He brings
Glory be to God in the highest 

As they knelt before Him
They realized their place
As all of history would mark this day
Simple lowly shepherds 
Were called to be the ones
They were the first to bow to Him and pray 

Not the rich
Not the mighty
Not the ones in power
He calls us in humility
To worship Him this hour

Meek and mild
Mother and child
Filled all prophecy that night 
Angels praised
Shepherds gazed 
Below the star so bright


Have You Seen the Star

Leave a reply 
Have you seen the star
Have you bowed in awe
Have you traveled far
From your sin

Have you given gold
All the world beholds
So that you can hold
Onto Him

Has the frankincense
Cleansed you from your sin
Are you born again
A priest for Him

Has the myrrh applied
From yourself to die
Giving up your life
All for Him

Have you seen the star
Has it changed your life
Come to Jesus now
And be saved
