Precious Time 

I’m awake

Sleep still lingers 

Eyes are opening 

Dim light

From the kitchen 

Dull illumination

Filters in

I’m awake

First things first 

Time to praise Him

The Lord of all

Kings of Kings

My Savior 

Jesus Christ 

I lift His mighty name 

And thank Him

He has been so good to me

Now prayer

Prayer for healing 

Of my friends 

They need a touch

Today 

Prayer for direction 

For finances 

For protection in Turkey 

For provision 

All for friends 

A thank you Lord

From me

I feel His hand upon me

As I write these simple words

I cannot help but wonder 

Who am I

That He would take the time

To hear my little prayer

The God of all creation 

By my side

And on this quiet morning 

While everyone’s asleep 

I pen these words before 

I rise from bed

I know the Lord goes with me

As my day will soon begin

So I roll back on my side

And rest my head

Early morning 

No one waking

Quiet fills the room

Time with God 

Precious time

Can’t wait 

‘Til it comes again

My Plight

 

At first  I didn’t think it right
That it had been an  oversight
When I found I was drowning in my sin
But when I realized my plight
I gave to Christ my oversight
Then He restored me way down deep within

So now I have a brand new life
And I desire to shine His light
To all who wish a new life to begin
I’ll testify that it is right
To give to Him the oversight
Of all your heart and life and then you’ll win

Shine

Shine
Like a beacon
Shine
Let the light show
Shine
So the world will see

Shine
Unabated
Shine
For the Savior
Shine
Light the way for all
You are the light of the world
Because Jesus shines through you
Don’t let the darkness overcome
Let your light shine
Let your light shine
Shine
Bright and glorious
Shine
We’re victorious
Shine
Life in Christ is grand
Shine
Sing His praises
Shine
Lift His name up
Shine
Loud Hosannas raise
When we lift His name in high
He will draw men to Himself
Let’s shine the love of Christ
For all the world to see
So many will believe
They’ll come and be set free
Let’s shine

Stay In His Word

What does it take
How much will it cost me
How long will it last
How changed will my  life be

The questions that come
When we seek successful
When we follow the world
It can be quite stressful

But in following God
The path is the best
Just stay in His word
And you’ll have success

My Disclosure

I am a poem composer
And in way of a disclosure
I give my Jesus exposure
Because I love Him so

He took my life from chaos
Where I was headed for great loss
He paid such a great cost
Because He loved me so

So now I praise with a shout
To tell what He’s all about
His message has to get out
Because He loves you so

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Exposure

I Wait For You

I wait for you
In the quiet night
To come and shed
Your glorious light

I wait for you
In desperate need
To feel your touch
And soon be healed
I wait for you
In hope and peace
I know your love
Is here with me
And when I wait
Upon you Lord
I know my strength
Will be restored
And I shall rise
On eagles wings
I’ll run not tired
I’ll walk and sing
I’ll sing your praises
Loud and clear
For all the world
To plainly hear
I’ll shout glory
Hallelujah
Jesus Christ
My Lord Messiah

Reflection

I’m waiting for the sunrise
The air is filled with fog
I know the light will be delayed
But it  will come along

When all the fog burns off
And sunlight fills the sky
I’ll see the gorgeous frosted trees
As we go driving by

I love a winters frosting
It makes the day go right
To see the glistening branches
Reflecting the sunlight

I only hope that my life
Is a little like this day
That others see the love of Christ
Reflect in what I say

Not only in the words I speak
But in all that I may do
Lord please let my reflection
Always show that I love you

My Heart Cries Out

I still remember when I first met Jesus

Sitting on a couch in Iowa

He came into my heart

Gave me a brand-new start

I knew that He was with me all the way

 

It’s been over 40 years since that day

When the burden of my sin was washed away

Since then I’ve learned to pray

And to follow in His ways

But most of all I’ve learned to praise His name

 

My heart cries out to praise Him

For all He’s done for me

His mercy’s overwhelming

His grace is sweet indeed

I lift my hands in worship

To Jesus Christ my King

My heart cries out to praise Him

He is my everything

 

Today I know He teaches me His truth

And He’s become my guiding light

I trust in Him always

I know He plans my days

I will never be out of His sight

 

And should this day bring troubles

That make me doubt and fear

I know He’ll comfort me

And in His arms I’ll be

Safe and sound, His love will be so near

 

My heart cries out to praise Him

For all He’s done for me

His mercy’s overwhelming

His grace is sweet indeed

I lift my hands in worship

To Jesus Christ my King

My heart cries out to praise Him

He is my everything

 

Fill The Air

You may have seen I got a little antsy
And hit the publish button way to soon 
And my asthetic post
Went out with too much haste
So I changed what this quick post was going to do

I was going to talk about my Saviors beauty
Asthetically He’s way beyond compare 
Instead I think I’ll say
I’ll praise Him everyday
And hope that you will help me fill the air

Fill it with His  praises 
Loud Hosannas ring
Fill it with your worship 
Of Jesus Christ our King 
Fill with Hallelujahs 
Lift your voice and sing 
Fill the air with praises
To Jesus  Christ our King

I Lift Him Up

The desire wells up within me

Until I cannot contain it inside

My heart starts to beat a bit faster

And my hands lift up high to the sky

 

I raise my voice to the heavens

And His praise comes flowing out

My feet cannot keep from dancing

As I worship my Lord with a shout

 

I lift Him up

The name of Jesus Christ

I lift Him up

The one who gives new life

I lift Him up

My Savior and my Lord

The one that I adore

The King of Kings forever

I lift Him up

 

I sense His presence around me

As I lift up my voice and sing

Eternal Hallelujahs

To Jesus Christ  my King

 

I lift Him up

The name of Jesus Christ

I lift Him up

The one who gives new life

I lift Him up

My Savior and Lord

The one that I adore

The King of Kings forever

I lift Him up

 

He is to be magnified, Jesus

He is to be glorified, Jesus

He is to be exalted

Jesus Christ my Lord

 

I lift Him up

The name of Jesus Christ

I lift Him up

The one who gives new life

I lift Him up

My Savior and Lord

The one that I adore

The King of Kings forever

I lift Him up
