Come To The Real Deal

3 Replies

When you think about freedom or morality
You have to think abstractly at best
For these things are subjective it matters who you ask
One person things much different  than the rest

Many think that God is at the top of abstract thought
His existence they aren’t sure is real
But I surely tell you that He is more alive
More than sun or wind or rain or stars reveal

You see I know these things because He changed my life
From someone who was rough and full of wrong
He gave me purpose in my life and filled my heart with love
His presence is with in me all day long

So if you need something to keep you from an abstract life
I have the answer you are looking for
Just ask my Jesus to come in and take away your sin
And take away your sin forevermore

He is here very near
Guiding me each day
Helping me to overcome
Trials on the way
He is watching eyes on me
Keeping me from harm
Seeing that I have His love
In His outstretched arms

I will never doubt His love
What He wants will be
Holding me hearing me
Loving me watching me
Guiding me cares for me
Grace in everything
Jesus my dear Savior
What a friend To Me

Always cares
Filling all my needs
Jesus precious Jesus
My redeemer King
Watching me
Hearing me

Tell It Like It Is

6 Replies

Some people trust in stars
To come and tell their fate
Others use a horoscope
I see if they should date

To others it’s a Ouija board
And others use a seance
I’ll just take God at His word
In Him there is no nuance

He always tells it like it is
The truth is always clear
You’ll be much better off each day
If His words you will hear

Meant For God

Note to reader:  This is a very different type poem for me, but it is how I received it yesterday as I was taking my chemo infusion, watching the squirrels at the bird feeder.  It is in free verse.  The first two stanzas have 7 lines, the next two 6 lines, the next two five and so on.  I would appreciate any comments you might have.

Watching a squirrel
Dangling
By his toes
Barely holding on
Trusting his grip
On the wire
Holding the bird feeder

Eating the seeds
Meant for the birds
Not for him
He doesn’t care
Whose food it us
It’s his
Today

Reminds me
Of the thief
Who comes
To steal
Steal our lives
Not meant for him

Meant for God
Our creator
Our provider
Our protector
Our deliverer
Our Savior

We open the door
To the enemy
Allow him in
Unwittingly
 
Open the door
To God
Let Him in
Willingly

The enemy
Will steal
God’s blessings

God
Will restore
What the enemy steals

Resist
The enemy

Run
To God

Be

Blessed

In The End

I can’t imagine how I would feel
If  I didn’t know where I would go
There’s eternal bliss in heaven above
Or fire and torture below

There’s a way you can know where you will go
So you won’t have to be nervous again
Make Jesus your Lord by asking Him in
And in heaven you’ll be in the end

Taking The Bait

Leave a reply

My mind was blank
I didn’t care about life
Or after life
Many said I was
A human vegetable
At one time
Party after tumultuous party
Always a little
Out of my mind
Not caring
Who I hurt
Or where I was going

Then an old friend
Caused me to ruminate
About a Savior
Who my life would illuminate
I heard his words
And I took the bait
Now I am born again

You Are My Keeper

Leave a reply

As a wandering soul
In the desert of life
I try to find my way
And I travel through
This sin filled world
Tempted day by day
I can read a book
Or watch a show
They seem to satisfy
But the promises
Soon turn into lies

Then I realize
That you have been there
Waiting all the time
Your still, small voice
Was calling me
But I just walked on by
In the quiet of
My darkest hour
Your voice has broken through
And I realize
That all I need is you.

You are my keeper.
You keep me safe from all harm
You are my shelter
In the storm.
You are my refuge
When I don’t know where to run
You are my strength
When my strength is gone

Now I boldly walk the road
Where I used to turn and run
Your mercy has restored my faith
New life has begun
I train myself to listen
To your whisper in my ear
Until the day you suddenly appear

On that day
I will rise to meet you
Caught up in the sky
Kept by your
Holy Spirit
All throughout my life

You are my keeper.
You keep me safe from all harm
You are my shelter
In the storm.
You are my refuge
When I don’t know where to run
You are my strength
When my strength is gone

You Will See Mercy

Leave a reply
I cried unto the Lord
Lord hear my cry
I’m trying so hard
But there’s sin in my life
Oh Lord I desire
To please you th1s day
Why won’t these thorns be removed
I wept before the Lord
Lord see my tears
I’ve been struggling with troubles
For too many years
Oh Lord my desire
Is to walk in your ways
Why won’t these troubles subside
He said Mercy
I give you my mercy
All of your sin
and troubles too
Are under the blood
Mercy
All of my mercy
Just keep your eyes
Focused on me
And you will see mercy
I looked up at the Lord
Lord I need you
I need to look at your word
And not what I do
Oh Lord my hearts cry
Is To only see you
Then all these thorns
And all my troubles
Will fade away
As long as my eyes
Are looking at what’s inside
These troubles will not ever die
But when I make my eyes
Look at my Lord on High
He will be the focus of my life
He said Mercy
I give you my mercy
All of your sin and troubles too
Are under the blood
Mercy
All of my mercy
Just keep your eyes
Focused on me
And you will see mercy

Give Me The Valley

Give me the valley
The bountiful valley
Where rivers roam
The animals home
I love the valley
The wonderful valley
It’s life in the valley for me
The mountain top
Is a beautiful place
Storm clouds below me
Clear sky is all I see
Peaceful and calm
I feel no alarm
It seems like the place to be
The mountain top
High above problems
High above trouble
Seems closer to God
But I look around
And see nothing growing
Just rocks and blue sky
On the mountain top
Down in the valley
Life is abundant
Flowers are blooming
Songbirds are singing
Rivers are flowing
Everything’s growing
Give me the valley
The deep, lonely valley
Where I can be growing too
Our tendency is
To look for the high spot
Above all our problems
And trials of life
But growth occurs
When I walk in the valley
Where there’s nowhere
To go but up.
Give me the valley
The bountiful valley
Where rivers roam
The animals home
I love the valley
The wonderful valley
It’s life in the valley for me
