A river flows from Calvary
Washing my sin away
The blood of Jesus flows so free
Sweet meercy from above
As grace has overcome my past
I pray the you’ll use me
To send a rivulet of love
To all I come to meet
For God so loved the world
That He sent His only Son
Now He sends me to share His grace
Each day to everyone
In response to the daily prompt
I’ve seen pink elephants in a drunken dream
Acid rainbows in a paisley scheme
Horror movies that made me scream
These things all have stuck in my mind
These eyes have seen much in their sixty plus years
But the notable act that will bring the most tears
Is when someone accepts the love Jesus brings near
As He washes over them His grace so divine
There is something about a soul being saved
That brings out much joy in in an ocean-like wave
If you don’t know Him why not call out today
He’ll give a new heart and a new lease on life

I used to be a paper boy
So many years ago
A long and uphill road I walked
With daily news in tow
It never failed along the route
A cur would try to scare
But I delivered faithfully
Ignoring dog beware
When circumstances come in life
That rob us of our peace
God is right there to come beside
And set our minds at ease
Never turn away from troubles
That would test your faith
But joyfully walk on with hope
That answers won’t be late
in response to the dailt prompt Cur
They say that I have a way with words
It seems that they might be right
When i sit down to write a story
My fingers just start to take flight
It’s really hard to explain it
So I will not elaborate
I’ll simply say God guides my finger
With Him I colaborate
From start to finish i marvel
At what’s flowing out of me
I’ll give the Lord all the glory
Without Him this blog would not be
In response to the daily prompt Elaborate
This world can give much that we all hunger for
Great riches and fame and power untold
A bunch of good friends and a family too
All of these things we can see and can hold
But Jesus bestows on us much greater gifts
His love and mercy bring peace to our life
Joy, faith and hope come so freely from Him
All because He paid your sin sacrifice
If you are missing these great gifts today
Why don’t you come to the Savior’s side
He gave these gifts to all who obey
With the bonus on top of eternal life
In response to the daily prompt Bestow
So many things in this world
Are not clear at all
With news reporting differently
On stories near and far
To sort out truth is difficult
To know who’s right is hard
Both sides pick their favorite source
And arguments are made
As far a heaven i concerned
The Bible is not vague
Jesus said be born again
He told us He the way
If you have a question
That concerns eternity
Please put it in the comments
I’ll answer as God leads
In response to the daily prompt Vague
I want to have more of Jesus
More of His love and His grace
More of the joy He gives me
I want to see His face
I want to partake of His blessings
Abundant they are to me
I want to live in His fullness
And bask in His liberty
There’s only one way to do this
I must daily abide in His word
His life-giving message is written
So I can know just what’s in store
His promises are everlasting
His mercy and grace will endure
As long as I stay close beside Him
And make Him my Savior and Lord
In response to the daily prompt Partake
I was a sinner
Dazed and confused
Just barely getting through life
My life was spiraling
Out of control
Drugs and booze helped me survive
I finally came
To a fork in the road
I heard of a Savior above
They needed no mallet
To beat into me
That I needed this Saviors love
I bowed on my knees
And prayed a short prayer
I felt a change come over me
And since that great day
I truly am saved
And I long to be all I can be
If your life is headed
Down similar paths
And you’d like a way of escape
Call out to Jesus
Give Him your life
Trust Him before it’s too late
In response to the daily prompt Mallet
I’ve been the one who appeared to be good
Singing and praising the Lord
I’ve been the one who all thought was meek
Knowing a lot in the word
But inside my pride was boiling up
I made real bad choices alone
I put on a mask of being so good
But deep down inside my heart roamed
Then God brought me low before His great cross
I realized the depth of my sin
I started to live an authentic faith
Where Christ reigned supreme within
Today I watch daily that pride does not rise
My wife helps my eyes to behold
My Savior is there to help me along
I thank Him that He brings me low
In response to the daily prompt Authentic
I love to watch gymnastics
The athletes are superb
They balance on a little beam
And fly above the earth
Between the bars called parallel
They toss themselves and swing
They vault and spin and land so fair
They do most anything
Great practice and long years are spent
To learn the feats they do
Just as anything in life
It’s really up to you
What do you take the time to learn
What is your chosen path
If you would choose a Godly life
It’s His word that will last
The Bible is our source of strength
Where all the truth is heard
So take the time practice great
In God’s most Holy word
In response to the daily prompt Parallel
