The Requirement

Leave a reply 
What does the Lord require of thee?
How can know His will for me?
What does He ask that I should see?
Lord, help me know your plan

First we must do the things that are just
So that others will know we are men of trust
For our principles we will not adjust
Just to win one more friend or two.

Then we show mercy to all we meet
For Jesus showed mercy to us in our need
We must pass on His mercy to all that we greet
To be what He wants us to be

And last but not least, the most difficult part
We must walk with a humble and lowly heart
Putting others before self in all regards
So His light will shine through me

These words are not new, but from ages past
The old prophet Amos did speak them first
And for these three things we all should thirst.	
As this is the will of God for me.

I pray you will heed these words this day
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly I pray
For these are the words that the prophet did say
Are requirements of our God.

Heal Our Land

Leave a reply 
I sit amidst the chaos
Of a lost and dying world
And I wonder when they’ll come to realize
That the softening of morals
And the sin they now condone
Is truly a reproach in God’s eyes
But I also wonder when the church
Will rise up and start to pray
That this world will turn away from all their sin
For it is our duty and our task
To know what the Bible says
And to pray from very deep down within
I must first humble myself
And know that I am no better
We are all the same in the sight of God
And if I lift my neighbor
As I would like to be lifted
My prayers will soon be heard in heaven above
And once I humble myself I pray
For the lost soul deep within
Everyone who has followed the devils’ lies
I do not judge nor condemn
But pray the light will shine through
And open the sinner’s eyes
Then I seek God’s grace
To know how to pray
For the Holy Spirit will give me the words
I must go to Him
To pray righteously
And not have my own thoughts be heard
And last but not least
I put my sin aside
If God is to answer my prayer
For If I regard 
Sin in my heart
The Lord will not hear what I say
After all this 
His promise is true
He says He’ll forgive our sin
And then, only then
Will our country revive
For He says He will heal our land

Pray and Give Thanks

Leave a reply 
Lord, I thank you for my family
As we share this special day
You know they mean so much to me
In a multitude of ways
And especially I'm thankful
For the wife you've given me
She's more thank I could ask for
She is my everything
I pray for those who are not blessed
With family on this day
Or for those who've lost a loved one
And don't have the words to say
I ask that you would comfort them
In this theirytime of need
And help me to avail myself
To be their friend indeed
I thank you for my health dear Lord
For all that's going right
Even though I have this cancer
That has given me a fight
I know that you will heal this
And my feet and shoulder too
So I thank you for my health
Because my healing comes from you
I pray for those who suffer
Through sickness and through pain
And do not trust you fully
To bring them health again
I pray you give me words to say
That will encourage them
And then they'll know your healing
Will touch them in the end
Lord, I thank you for your joy and peace
They are with me all the time
I am filled with great awareness
Of the blessings that are mine
Your joy fills me abundantly
And helps me feel just fine
And your peace keep me from fear
When the trials are so nigh
I pray for those who suffer
With depression or dis-ease
And I ask your Holy Spirit
To bring comfort and bring peace
Help them feel the joy you promised
Down deep inside their soul
So that even in their troubles
Their heart will be made whole.
Lord, I thank you for salvation
You paid the price for me
When you gave your life a sacrifice
Your blood did set me free
You rule my life as Lord of love
And now I plainly see
Whom the Son of God has purchased
He has been set free indeed
I pray for those who don't know you
That this Thanksgiving day
As we share about the blessings
That you have brought our way
That our words will reach their hearing
And someone will boldly say
How can I get salvation
I want to ask today!

Jesus, You Are

Leave a reply 
Jesus, what a wonder
You put the stars in place
Separated earth and sky
Set the sun in space
Brought up food from fertile ground
Spoke and animals abound
Jesus, what a wonder you are

Jesus, your incredible
Came to earth a babe
Left your throne in glory
In a manger lay
Shepherds bowed in worship
Wise men brought great gifts
Jesus, how incredible you are

Jesus, your amazing
Ministered three years
Walked among the people
Joy flowed out in tears
Lowly men would hear Him
Learned men turned from Him
Jesus, how amazing you are

Jesus, you are mercy
Died upon the cross
Gave your life so freely
Paid such a big cost
Ransomed me from all my sin
Then you brought me peace within
Jesus, you are mercy to me

In all the ways of time and space
There’s no one who can take your place
I long to be in your embrace
Safe from any harm
So I will praise your mighty name
You ransomed me, Your name I’ll raise
For all the marvels you have made

While the world is running wild
I remain both calm and mild
Since your hope is nestled way below

The enemy’s defeated by your word
All I have to do is speak
And the enemy retreats
Since your victory is mine for sure

You surround me with your love, Of Lord
I will seek you as it’s you I adore
My I never cease to praise
Your wonderful, sweet name
Since your love is mine and so much more.

The Believers Life

More Of Him

Leave a reply 
This world goes after power
Fame and fortune is their goal
They often buy things they cannot afford
And in the end they’re empty 
None of these can satisfy
The emptiness that lives within their soul

I have found that living
In this world is quite a test
Day to day the choices are a chore
But this one thing I realize
Can settle my heart down
All I need is more of my Lord

More of Him in the morning
Before the breaking dawn
When darkness rules the skies in all the land
The silence is so quiet
I can listen for His voice
I can hear Him whisper all of His sweet plans

More of Him at daybreak
When morning gilds the skies
Golden beauty lines the clouds above
The sun peeks out in splendor
Reminding everyone
That this day will be filled with God’s love

More of Him in the daytime
As I work to earn my way
He guides me step by step in my pursuits
I honor Him and praise Him
From the bottom of my heart
He keeps reminding me of His great truths

More of Him at sunset
When day is growing short
He paints His awesome clouds so brilliantly
I want Him to draw closer
As the light fades into dark
The picture in the clouds goes quietly

More of Him at nighttime
When I lay my head to rest
His spirit holds my heart so tenderly
Every day I’ve spend with Him
The more I come to know
That more of Him is all I really need

So Much More

1 Reply


What can I bring as an offering
To Jesus, who gave His all?
What is the proper expression
That would not be considered too small?
How can I even begin to show
The depth of my grateful heart?
There’s only one way I can think of
That’s to give Him my praise from the start.


I’ll open my lips and sing
The praises of Christ the King
He’s given me everything
And so much more


I’ll lift up my hands to His throne
Adoring the love He has shown
He made me His very own
And so much more


I’ll lift up my eyes to His face
His beauty I will embrace
He keeps me safe in this place
And so much more


One thing above all I must bring
My life as an offering
I must give Him everything
And so much more



He Took and He Gave

Leave a reply 
When He died upon the cross that day
His love came down through time
He gathered all my sins away 
And replaced them with His life
He took my unforgiveness 
My bitterness and grief
And showed me what forgiveness really means

For I was undeserving
Of the mercy He gave me
Now I try to understand my brothers needs
He took my doubts and fears
Of who I really was
And showed me His great plan to change my life

For I was wandering aimless 
Never touching anyone
Now I help the lost to change their lives
He took my insecurity 
Of what the future holds
And showed me there's a hope for all of time

For I was wasting all my time
On dead end pursuits
Now i can truly know that heaven will be mine
He took my lousy attitude
And the venom my mouth spewed 
And showed me that His joy could overcome

For I was only happy
When things would go my way
Now this joy always reminds me He has won
He took away my anger
At all the hurts Ihad endured
And showed me that to love is so much more

For I was always lonely 
And was closed off deep inside 
Now I try to make myself an open door
The change He made in my life
Didn't happen overnight
In fact He still has so much work to do
But one thing that I know
Is when I asked Him in my heart
My life became much better through and through

Start With Praise

Leave a reply 
If you want to have 
A great day
I suggest that you
Start with praise
God is worthy of
Every word you have to say

Maybe music is 
What you need
To get out of bed
On your feet 
Set your radio
So your heart awakes to beat

Because praise will 
Lift your spirit 
Worship will 
calm your worries 
Putting Him first 
Will bring you peace

So put your 
Whole heart in it
Don't let your world 
Or your duties
Crowd out the praise 
That puts your mind at ease

Singing Hallelujahs 
Glory to the King
Hallelujahs 
Lord of Everything

Glory, glory 
Savior of the world
Glory, glory
Giver of the word

Holy, holy
Perfect sacrifice
Holy, holy
Died to give me life

Loud Hosannas 
Rose again that day
Loud Hosannas 
Gave us power to pray

So many ways to praise Him
So many things He's done 
So don't forget to start each day
By singing of His love!
