No Complaints

Some people give out hatred
Others emit fear
There are those who always have complaints
Some will bring you down
Others make you doubt
There’s even some who have a hundred pains

All of the above
And many more beside
Can truly work to bring a person down
It’s not the way to be
If Christ is in the lead
The words He spoke gave mercy all around

Let us dispense His mercy
To everyone we meet
That we might speak in words of love and grace
No place for our complaining
No murmuring or doubt
Only those things that fill our hearts with praise

Misunderstood

Some people will believe a lie instead of seeking truth
Some people will tell gossip tales that end up harming you
Some people drink their alcohol each night so they feel good
Some people do their harmful drugs and stay misunderstood

Some people think it’s quite alright to swear in Jesus name
Some people think that causing pain is all just fun and games
Some people cannot say a word unless they swear and curse
Some people will refuse to listen and their life just gets worse

None of this is natural
It’s not what we’re made for
This world has got it all wrong
When His word they do ignore
We were made to walk with Him
In the garden He prepared
So put aside your wicked ways
And praise His name instead

A Sanctuary

I awoke this Monday morning
Looking forward to the day
I rose to greet the sunrise
As it lightened up the gray
I ate a bit of breakfast
With coffee on the tray
Then I walked out of my house
And I began to say

Thank you, Lord for giving me
Your mercy on this day
Thank you Lord, for your sweet grace
Which blesses me always
Thank you Lord for peace of mind
Provided by your grace
Thank you for the joy you give
And hope that always stays

Thank you Lord for this creation
Beautiful and wise
Thank you Lord for singing birds
Filling up the skies
Thank you Lord for flowers and trees
Colors for my eyes
Thank you Lord for loving me
And helping me through trials

As I finished my short song
Of praise unto my King
I thanked Him once again
For providing everything
And in that moment I could feel
The Spirit praises bring
My porch became a santcuary
For the King of Kings

The eLifve

The Lab of Life

I used to love the science room where we could have real fun
Mixing up those chemicals could bring up things that stunk
I also like the movies that scared us half to death
Frankenstein was one of them I think he was on meth

Our laboratory fun was a place of learning much
But most of us grow older leaving lab work in the dust
Yet if we really seek the truth the lab of life still runs
We are an experiment until we think we’re done

I know in my daily walk with Jesus Christ my Lord
The tests and trials that will come are things I can’t ignore
For each is there to help me grow and become all I can be
I just want to be the clay while God is making me

Without Apps

Email is so nifty
It gets there very quick
Messenger is just as fun
And WhatsApp is real slick
Instagram exposes you
Pinterest your likes
The phone is always handy
A letter finds a smile

All these different ways
To touch each other’s lives
Yet all of them are lacking
In portraying what’s inside
Today’s communication
Lacks time for face-to-face
To see their true expression
To hear a voice that’s raised

Let’s try to put aside
Our gadgets and our apps
To walk up to our neighbor
And share a heartfelt chat
Perhaps then love will win out
Over all the ugly ways
That have captured so much news
In too many of our days

Our Salvation

White as Snow

We used to build big snowmen
When young and full of fun
Our imaginations were on fire
We rolled the balls real big
And set them one by one
We always wanted to go so mush higher

Abominable was not our aim
With this massive man of snow
We hoped that it would be a work of art
We did all that we could
To make it look real good
Carrot, buttons, scarf and a top hat

If your really want that something
That defines unpleasantness
Something much worse than gruesome men of snow
Then simply turn your back
To the mercy Jesus shows
When life is over pain is all you’ll know

Right now it’s not too late
To avoid hell’s horrid fire
And a future so abominable
Just give your heart to Jesus
Ask forgiveness for your sins
He’ll make your heart as white as snow

Every Cry

There was a day when I was young
So many years ago
My wife would bear three children
Before I was to old
Before the time did come for birth
They said we should expect
A child would come no doubt to us
Their cry we would protect

Today I have a different task.
To pray for those in need
The word of God said pray in faith
Expect results to be
Help me have that faith dear Lord
My expectations high
That you will answer every prayer
And hear my every cry

National Pride

Restore our Nation

In years gone by I hung around the bar ’til late at night
We’d drink our beer and hard stuff until the mood was right
Then we’d drive around the countryside until the morning light
Not caring about anything at all

But those days have been replaced by my faith in Jesus Christ
Now I linger at the altar as I seek His guiding light
My soul seeks His assurance when I go to sleep at night
My desire is to heed His sacred call

Put aside your earthly habits to come and join the fight
To restore our nations heart and set it’s morals right
Seek the Lord and all His wisdom so that all will see the light
Before our nation suffers from a fall

Not Ordinary

Sometimes I just don’t fit into the crowd
Sometimes I speak to soft other times I’m just too loud
Most people don’t care much if I’m around
So I go my merry way
Make the most out of each day
And don’t worry if I just don’t make a sound

I guess I’m not compatible with life
At least not like most ordinary guys
I just don’t want to live a life of stories and of lies
I live authentically
I try to live at peace
This world is not my home to no surprise

You see I am a child of the King
He asks that I would think on pure and honest things
He gave His life so I would not be trapped by anything
I’m free from sin and doubt
My life is all about
Bringing honor to the Lord of Lords in everything

Our Salvation

Choose

That happy birthday song
Rings on and on and on
As it seems I get new greetings
All night long

Then the next day comes
And there are more than one
Who bring belated cheers
Before it’s done

I know that I don’t always
Remember people’s birthdays
But thanks for good old Facebook
I can delay

When choosing your life’s options, though
You’d better choose while here below
For their is no belated way to go

For once this life has come and gone
Christ Jesus will wait on the throne
To judge the choice you made within your soul

There is no second chance you see
No purgatory made for me
My choice was made while here upon this earth

I chose Jesus Christ as Lord
He carries with Him His reward
My choice will give me life eternally

I urge you choose Jesus
I beg you choose Jesus
He’s the only way through heaven’s gate
It is time choose Jesus
Don’t be late choose Jesus
Choose Him now before it is too late
