Turn to Jesus

Leave a reply

Quick note:  I have started a new Bible Study on Ephesians in my Travelling with Paul blog.  Lease check it out if you have a few minutes.  CLICK HERE

When you’re looking for a friend
To help you to the end
Turn to Jesus
When you’re looking for a healing
Because you’ve been ill feeling
Turn to Jesus

When you’re looking for some joy
‘Cause you feel your life’s destroyed
Or you need a little peace
To set your mind at ease
When you need a bunch of love
‘Cause this world can’t give enough
Turn to Jesus Christ

He promised He will be right there
To meet all your needs
He will show you that He cares
When prayer is received
Please just turn to Him today
And look on His face
He will help you find your way

By amazing grace

Avoid the Wreck

Leave a reply

When you get to a railroad crossing
You see signs everywhere
And often there’s a bar to keep you back
I figure you all see these signs
And take them serious
‘Cause if you don’t, you’ll wind up in a wreck

We see strange things a-brewin’
All around us anymore
The signs of the times are really clear
Jesus said He’s coming back
When these signs appear
Have you made Him your Savior and Lord

For when He returns in the clouds
A crossing will take place
For all  of those who’ve given Him their lives
Those who are left behind
The worst of times they’ll face
Will you avoid that wreck and and save your life

Look What I Found

i used I wonder why life would bring a frown
I never could get myself quite turned around
The drinking and drugs had certainly brought me down
My mind was slipping away
I sank further every day
I worried I’d just fade away
Then I found Jesus

Now all my doubts and fears have faded away
Gone are the drink and drugs that had me in sway
I’m finding that life just keeps getting better each day
I have new peace of mind
And joy that is so fine
Hope fora  future divine
Since I found Jesus

I find myself resting
With peace never ceasing
And joy never ending
In Him

I have hope fulfilling
My hearts overflowing
And love that is glowing
In Him

In Christ, I am blessed beyond measure
His grace is amazing to me
I’ll lift up His name
In glorious praise
For Jesus is all that I need

I am healed everyday
And delivered always
My needs are sustained
In Him

My faith is renewed
My mind is restored
I’m free evermore
In Him

In Christ, I am blessed beyond measure
His grace is amazing to me
I’ll lift up His name

For Jesus is all that I need

There is no valley that I can’t go through
No mountain that’s too hard to climb
There is no battle His strength will not win
In Him, the victory’s mine

In Christ, I am blessed beyond measure
His grace is amazing to me
I’ll lift up His name
In glorious praise

Pardon My Abuse

2 Replies

I walked the walk
And talked the talk
So many years ago
And people thought
That I had sought
The Lord in all I showed

But in actuality
I was not what I appeared
My interior was messy and confused
So I took time out to pray
And I got pride out of the way
And I asked the Lord to pardon my abuse

Now I quietly
Walk in humility
Knowing I can easily fall
I listen intent
I speak a lot less
And I silently wait for His call

Many Blessings

I think about the fact
That Jesus loves me so
And it seems my love for Him
Just grows and grows and grows

My heart will sing His praises
Every single day
As I count the many blessings
That He has sent my way

He died for me so long ago
To take away my sin
He walks with me from day to day
Gives me peace and joy within

His Holy Spirit comforts me
Whenever I am down
I know that I can trust in Him
To keep me safe and sound

I lift my praise to Jesus
For the blessings in my life
I will worship Him forever
I will lift His name on high

He brought me to my wife
A thousand miles away
He put a love within me
That still is strong today

Three children blessed our marriage
Five grandchildren too
They share their love for us
In everything they do

He’s blessed me with good work
And friends that bolster me
And helps me be a blessing
To others in their needs

I lift my praise to Jesus
For the blessings in my life
I will worship Him forever
I will lift His name on high

I have many Christian friends
Who will listen when I talk
And the pastors in my life
Have helped me in my walk

But more than anything
I’m blessed with His sweet grace
And His mercy overwhelms me
Oh, I long to see His face

I lift my praise to Jesus
For the blessings in my life
I will worship Him forever
I will lift His name on high

A Look Behind

1 Reply

I cannot let a day go by
Without praising His name
And every week I take some time
To  write of His domain
Not a single month goes by
That I have not seen change
Due to prayers lifted up
In Jesus name

Then when  the years is over
I take a look behind
And see all of the blessings
That I  can surely find
The Lord has been so good to mme
So loving and so kind
And all because I spent some time
With Him

If you need a blessing
From the Lord today
Just take the time to call on Him
Take some time to pray
And if you’ll do that every day
At end of year you’ll say
The Lord has been so
Good to me

SPECIAL NOTE:  I will begin a study in Ephesians on my “Traveling with Paul” blog today.  My hope is to  post  every day.  Please join me by CLICKING HERE

This year I will praise Him
With all my heart and soul
I’ll lift my voice to heaven
To Jesus Christ our Lord

 This year I will love my neighbor
And those who are in need
I’ll ask the Lord for wisdom
And plant some gospel seeds
I am resolved to walk
Everyday as a light
My greatest desire is to see
Sinners saved from their plight
Lord help me be a witness
In everything I do
I am resolved to live
So that others will see you
This year I’m going to pray
With a fervent and faithful heart
Work down my list each day
Of those who have crossed my path
This year I will have mercy
On those who may do me wrong
I will extend your grace Lord
To all who may come along
When I see
Lives get changed
By your loving
Holy hand
I will lift up
My voice in thanks
And give you all the praise
I am resolved to walk
Everyday as a light
My greatest desire is to see
Sinners saved from their plight
Lord help me be a witness
In everything I do
I am resolved to live
So that others will see you

A New Year of Praise

2 Replies

As one year goes out
And another comes in
We wonder what now will unfold
There’s anticipation
Of what is to come
There are things that we still will hold

There is one thing I know
Will not change in  my life
No matter what a new year will bring
I will lift up my voice
And sing out the songs
Of praise to Jesus the King

Nothing will silence me
From my desire
To lift up His name every day
I will listen intently
To the words that He gives
And write out His poems of praise

Join me, my friends
Let us make a great noise
Of praise to Jesus our King
He is so worthy
Of all of our praise
Lets lift up our voices and sing
