Quickly Overgrown

2 Replies

My garden was incredible this year
A used a new ingredient called Preen
For in the past I did not have the time
And soon my plot was overgrown with weeds

Our walk with Christ is very much the same
For it is easy to get pulled aside
This world can quickly overgrow our faith
And cause His word to gradually subside

So make sure you take time each day in prayer
Read the scriptures regularly to grow
The last thing you must do will keep you safe
Give thanks for all the blessings He bestows

Forgive Them

6 Replies

Has someone said some words
That are absurd and caused deep hurt
They have sent you reeling
Hurt your feelings
Now you’re dealing with these thoughts
They have wrought
In your heart
Forgive them, for they know not what they do

Has someone done something
That starts to ring and leaves a sting
To your pride
Down deep inside
You try to hide and want payback
Except you lack
A plan of attack
Forgive them, for they know not what they do

Have people whipped you hard
Beaten with a rod for who you are
Put thorns on your head
Falsely accused and led
To death
Upon a cross crucified
Left to die
Forgive them, for they know not what they do

We do not have
A life that is so bad
Yet we complain
Of the pain
That others cause us
And we discuss
Those things that sting
With those who can do nothing
To fix the pain
And we disdain
From what God said
In His word
Forgive them, for they know not what they do

The next time you feel hurt
Become the person God intended
Bring an end to any strife
Give out life
As you forgive them
For they know not what they do

Only Jesus

She woke up in the night from the pain
That had plagued her since her teenage years
No relief would come from the torment she went through
Unless she got her hands on drugs not hers

He woke up In the night from the thoughts
That plagued his heart and soul everyday
He could not right his mind from the sin that lurked within
Unless he started looking once again

What they need is Jesus, only Jesus
What they need is time spent in the Word
As they turn their thoughts toward Him
Their minds won’t turn within
And the struggles of this life will quickly dim

This life can be a catalog of struggles
That can captivate our mind and soul
But when we turn our hearts and minds to Jesus
His Words will bring us out of this old world

Only Jesus can save us
Only Jesus can raise us
Out of the murky land of sin
Only Jesus delivers
Only Jesus rescues sinners
Out of the guilt and shame within

What we need is Jesus, only Jesus
What we need is time spent in the Word
As we turn their thoughts toward Him
Our minds won’t turn within
And the struggles of this life will quickly dim

Richer Than This World

Leave a reply

This world sees abundance in so many things
Possessions are what we most crave
My God makes me richer than this world can know
In the wonderful things that He gave

Abundant in mercy that forgives my sin
Abundant in grace for the moment
Abundant in love everlasting and free
Jesus my all in all

Abundant in peace that calms every storm
Abundant in joy never ceasing
Abundant in hope that endures for all time
Jesus my all in all

Abundant in healing my body and soul
Abundant in faith through His word
Abundant in patience for me and my ways
Jesus my all in all

All these blessings and more are mine today
Because He gave His life on the cross
If you give your life to Jesus today
Your days will also be blessed

I’m Holding On

Leave a reply

I’m holding on
To the promise of redemption by His grace
On the cross He bore my sins and took my place
And one day soon I’ll see His blessed face
I’m holding on

I’m holding on
To the promise of the comforter He gave
When He sent the Holy Spirit in His place
To teach me truth and guide me in His ways
I’m holding on

I’m holding on
To the promises His Word provides for me
Every day they guide me to my destiny
He is making me what He wants me to be
I’m holding on

I’m holding on
To the promise that He’s coming back one day
And all those who are saved will fly away
Then by His side is where we’ll always stay
I’m holding on

Oh The Blood

Leave a reply

The blood of Jesus rescued me
From living Satan’s destiny
I am not longer bound to sin
His grace has washed me from within

The blood of Jesus purchased me
From living life in misery
I am no longer bound by shame
I am alive in Jesus name

Oh the blood
Oh the blood
Washes white as snow
Oh the blood
Oh the blood
By His blood I am made whole

The blood of Jesus made me free
Hell is not my destiny
I now am bound by His great love
A home in heaven waits above

Oh the blood
Oh the blood
Washes white as snow
Oh the blood
Oh the blood
By His blood I am made whole

Fly Away

1 Reply
It won’t be long

The day will come
The trumpet shall resound
And just like that
Well blink our eyes
And rise up from the ground
We’ll go to meet Him
In the air
All those who call Him Lord
Then with the angels
We’ll rejoice
With Him forevermore
Now is the time
Do not delay
To heed the harvest moon
Tell of His love
To all you meet
The Lord is coming soon
They must accept
His sacrifice
Upon the cross that day
Then when He comes
Upon the clouds
We all can fly away

Limitless

4 Replies

This world is full of questions
Asking what this life is for
Why have we been put on earth
What purpose is in store
Some people look for answers
In horoscopes and stars
Some might find a talisman
To find out who they are

There’s really only one true way
To find your destiny
Give your life to Jesus Christ
And He will give you peace
He is the creator
Of everything we see
That is why He is the one
Who knows what you shall be

He has a plan for everyone
No matter what their size
He wants to take you in His arms
And show you what is wise
He wants the best for you each day
His plan is limitless
If you’ll just trust your life to Him
You truly will be blessed
