Turn Your Back

Leave a reply 
I can't wait to get to heaven
It's the place that I call home
There I'll share a feast with Jesus
Sorrow exits at the door
You can't find a place more peaceful
There's a mansion for your home
When I get there pain will go away
I don't want to go alone. I want to take you with me
All you have to do is turn your back on all your sin
Ask the son of God to come and live deep down within
Confess that He is Lord and He has risen from the dead
Then you will be born again and heaven you will win
I can't wait to walk the streets of gold
Enter in the pearly gates
See the saints if God all gathered there
Singing songs of highest praise
All the angels gathered to His throne
Echo holy is His name
What a day of wonder that will be
I don't want to go alone
I want to take you with me
All you have to do is turn your back on all your sin
Ask the son of God to come and live deep down within
Confess that He is Lord and He has risen from the dead
Then you will be born again and heaven you will win
I want to take you with me

Perfect Timing

Leave a reply 
I sit here and wait for an answer from God
Only He knows the day He will answer my call
I do not have to fear what tomorrow may bring
So I'll sit right here waiting for Him.
His timing is perfect, on Him I rely
Even though I can't see it He's working inside
I just have to sit here and offer my prayer
He'll always come through, He'll always be there.
So I sit here waiting on an answer from Him
I'll wait 'til He answers and I'll ask again
Because one small request said a million times o'er
Is better than one that is uttered so sure
How about you? Can you just wait on Him?
Or do you require an answer right quick
perhaps He knows best, and your answer will come
When He knows you're ready to receive what He's done

So Tenderly

Leave a reply 
I have drifted, I have strayed
I have gone to far away
Can my Lord find me here
In my sin?
Feeling outcast, tired and lonely
I don't really want to own me
I just want to get back
Into His arms
I know He hears my cry
I know He hears my plea
As I pray through my tears
Down on my knees
Crying, weeping for my sin
And the struggle within
To give up all the things I desire
I know He hears my cry
I know He hears my plea
And He lifts me in his arms
So tenderly.
Forgiven!
I'm forgiven!
He will not hold my sin against me
Forgiven!
Yes, forgiven!
I have this blessed hope eternally
Why did I wait?
Why did I linger in my sin?
I knew He'd listen
Why did I hold on?
Why did I not let go?
I knew He'd free me from my burden
I know He hears my cry
I know he hears my plea
As I pray through my tears
Down on my knees
I know He hears my cry
I knew He hears my plea
And He lifts me in His arms
So tenderly
Forgiven
I'm forgiven
he loves me in spite of my faults
Forgiven!
Yes, forgiven
Now go and share the glorious results
he always hears our cries
he always hears our pleas
So come before His throne
Down on your knees!

When I think about the time the dead man rose to breath
I'm in awe of you
When I think about the time you calmed the raging sea
I'm in awe of you
When I think about the time you made the blind man see
I'm in awe of you
Jesus, I'm in awe of you

You are magnificent
You are amazing
You are more than wonderful to me
You are extraordinary in the way you love me
Jesus, I'm in awe of you

When I think about the time that Mary was set free
I'm in awe of you
When I think about the time you fed the crowd for free
I'm in awe of you
When I think about the time you made the demons flee
I'm in awe of you

You are magnificent
You are amazing
You are more than wonderful to me
You are extraordinary in the way you love me
Jesus, I'm in awe of you

Then I think about the fact that you died for me
On a hill so far away called Calvary
I think about the day you rose eternally
And I lift my voice in praise to you

You are magnificent
You are amazing
You are more than wonderful to me
You are extraordinary in the way you love me
Jesus, I'm in awe of you

Need Help?

Leave a reply 
Quietly sitting
Unable to sleep
Go for a walk
The night air to breath
Once around, twice around
This circle we share
Enjoying a cool breeze
In the night air

I hear a faint sound
And then see a light
A neighbor is outside
In the midst of a plight
In the darkness I walk up
And ask him :"Need help?"
Startled he looks up
Why yes, I need help

Funny how we never know
'When we might be used
To help a stranger
Out in the night
God sets my path
He marks every step
I pray He can use me
Day after day.

What An Awesome God

Leave a reply 
Thunder on the horizon
Lightning brightening the sky
The glory of the Lord revealed in nature
What an awesome God we serve

The flowers bloom across the prairie
The song birds fill the air with tunes
The wind brings waves across the blowing grasses
What an awesome God we serve

He's an awesome God
Full of wonder and might
He's an awesome God
I bow at His sight
All of nature displays His majesty
He is an awesome God
The stars dazzle up above
The crescent moon brings smiles to all
The constellations are created by His hand
What an awesome God we serve

The sunrise brings another day
The evening sky is painted brightly
As He shows us His creative hand at work
What an awesome God we serve

He's an awesome God
Full of wonder and might
He's an awesome God
I bow at His sight
All of nature displays His majesty
He is an awesome God

His Grace Is Greater

Leave a reply 
His grace is greater
Than all my troubles
He watches o’er me
When I fall down

His grace is greater
Than all my weakness
He keeps me floating
When I could drown

His grace is greater
Than all my struggles
He walks beside me
When I’m alone

His grace is greater
Than my temptations
He speaks so softly
And gives me hope
Just enough for today
And not for tomorrow
Yesterday’s grace is gone
Day after day
Like the manna from heaven
I have to depend on Him

Grace, grace, Great grace
Greater than all my life could need
Grace, grace
God’s grace
Grace that is greater than anything.

Are You Alive?

Leave a reply 
Are you alive?
Is blood flowing through your veins?
Is your heart beating?
Are you breathing?
Then praise the Lord!
That is all that matters
No trial should keep us from praising Him
No test,
No sickness
No injury
No heartache
No setback
No hurt
Nothing should keep us from Praising Him
Not because He blesses me,
Not because He saved me
Not because He delivers me
Not because He heals me
Not because He guides me
But just because He is!
Let everything that hath breath
Praise the Lord!

Jesus, I’m In Awe of You

When I think about the way that you reach out to me
I am in awe of you
When I think about the way you gave your life for me
I am in awe of you
When I think about the fact you died on Calvary
I am in awe of you
Jesus, I’m in awe of you.

When I feel your presence close and I hear you call my name
I am in awe of you
That your mercy would reach down and cover all my shame
I am in awe of you
When I realize your grace has taken all my pain
I am in awe of you
Jesus I’m in awe of you

You pick me up when I am down
You hold my hand when I’m alone
You call my name when I feel sad
You Fill my heart and make me glad
You heal my wounds when they are sore’
You fill my cup when I am poor
You give me strength when I am weak
You’re always right there when I seek

When I think about your spirit guiding me along the way
I am in awe of you
When I think about your healing that touches me each day
I am in awe of you
When I think about how lost I’d be if I did not have you
I am in awe of you
Jesus, I’m in awe of you.
Christmas Poetry

Join The Chorus

Leave a reply 
I see cherubim and seraphim as they dance in sheer delight.
The elders bow before the Lamb as he comes full in their sight.
The sound of anthems fill the skies and the clouds bear majesty
As we sing around His throne

All hail the King, who is sitting on the throne
All hail the one who came to earth below.
He chose to bleed and die
So that I could have new life.

Now the heavens sound his praise forevermore.
As angels gather ’round the throne of God, and their praises soar to the heavens,
I enter the throne room and bow on my face at the sight of Holy splendor.
I hear loud hosannas ring, and Hallelujahs sing,
And I can’t help but join the chorus with my praise

All hail the King, who is sitting on the throne.
All hail the one who came to earth below.
He chose to bleed and die
So that I could have new life.

Now the heavens sound his praise forevermore.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to the King.
Loud Hosannas in the highest is the chorus that we sing.
