No More Hockey Pucks

Leave a reply

When I was young I had much zip in every step I took
My days were filled with busy things not usually by the book
Climbing trees and catching frogs and slapping hockey pucks
The fact that I was rarely hurt I passed it off to luck

When I grew older, wiser too, I found myself messed up
I’d taken drugs and drink in droves and other nasty stuff
I needed remedy real fast or thought that I would die
No luck could get me out of this.  I wanted to survive

One day I heard that Jesus died to cleanse me of my sin
I asked Him to forgive me and come to live within
No luck or circumstance can ever take the place of Him
I now know peace and joy are real, and with Him I can win

So if your feeling down and out and have no where to turn
Please listen to these words of mine before you die and burn
Ask Jesus too forgive your sins, He’ll give a brannd  new start
You never wll regret the day He comes into your heart

Turn the World Around

Leave a reply

It’s not a little thing at all
Though people will  discount it
I’m not even reluctant
To say it changed the world

In it’s time it was enormous
Truly massive in it’s scope
Because a new beginning
Was about to now unfold

When Jesus died upon that cross
There were just a few take notice
But when He rose up from the grave
The world was turned around

Twelve men and many others
Began to preach His story
The church was born by His dear plan
And victory abounds

Feeding Time

1 Reply

It seems it’s a natural occurrence
To eat and drink plenty each day
It’s something we do by instinct
To survive there’s no other way

But there is another part to us
That needs  to nourished as much
The spirit that lives within us
Is hungry to feel wisdom’s touch

Your body is well taken care of
Your spirit guides you in this world
Make sure that you feed your spirit
For me that means time in God’s word

Where Will You Gather?

Leave a reply

Some people get caught up in things
Like soap operas and TV shows
Their lives revolve around a set
Of characters they think they know

Others are consumed by work
They toil all day and night it seems
Their goal is to achieve the top
But often they get caught in schemes

I prefer to immerse myself
In the Word of God, where life abounds
As I look through His words each day
I hear just joyful, peaceful sounds

To God I’ll gather ’round each day
For that is where I find my rest
If you need more from life today
Open the Word and find God’s best.

Life Takes It’s Turns

Leave a reply

I’ve always loved good music
It causes my heart to dance
There’s always a joy when I’m singing
To a song that I find by chance

We used to listen to records
Forty-five RPM was the speed
Those singles would jump on the turnstile
And we’d all start dancing with ease

Then 8 track and CD and DVD came
The records still there, but now small
And I listen to much different music
That lifts up a praise to the Lord.

Life changes fast in this world of ours
There’s little that remaiins the same
The only exception is Jesus
His truth and love will never change

If you need some come assurance
That will always be there for you
Just call on the name of Jesus
His record is always true.

Life Anew

Leave a reply

I could hear the echo softly
As I went to see old friends
Their quiet murmuration
Came so quickly without end

A change had taken place in me
That made them stop and pause
They saw a new man standing there
And wondered ’bout the cause

I told  them I’d been born again
Asked Jesus in my heart
I put away my dark old life
He gave me a new start

Now that they had seen it
They had to know it’s true
And thus began my journey
To start my life anew

Escape The Rat Race

1 Reply

There’s a pattern this world likes to follow
Of hustle and bustle and fame
Go after riches and fortune
Live life and never be tame

I use a pattern that’s different
That seeks peace and joy, love and hope
Following Jesus is simpler
Then the pattern that makes this world cope

Why not step out and come with me
Escape the rat race as they say
Come to the Savior, He’s waiting
To change your life’s pattern today

Tell It Like It Is

6 Replies

Some people trust in stars
To come and tell their fate
Others use a horoscope
I see if they should date

To others it’s a Ouija board
And others use a seance
I’ll just take God at His word
In Him there is no nuance

He always tells it like it is
The truth is always clear
You’ll be much better off each day
If His words you will hear

In The End

Leave a reply

I can’t imagine how I would feel
If  I didn’t know where I would go
There’s eternal bliss in heaven above
Or fire and torture below

There’s a way you can know where you will go
So you won’t have to be nervous again
Make Jesus your Lord by asking Him in
And in heaven you’ll be in the end

Taking The Bait

Leave a reply

My mind was blank
I didn’t care about life
Or after life
Many said I was
A human vegetable
At one time
Party after tumultuous party
Always a little
Out of my mind
Not caring
Who I hurt
Or where I was going

Then an old friend
Caused me to ruminate
About a Savior
Who my life would illuminate
I heard his words
And I took the bait
Now I am born again
