When I read about Heaven
It’s plain to see
That’s Heavens the place
That I want to be
With a colorful mind
A vivid mind set
I picture a scene
Like none I’ve seen yet
Streets of gold
Gates of pearls
A foundation of gems
Light of Jesus
Shines so bright
There’s no need for the sun
Can you picture it?
Do you know you’ll be there?
Jesus is the way
That you can be sure

The devil met God aone day long ago
Said I’ll fight your Son nd His blood will flow
God said go ahead I’ll send Hiin to earth
Just give Him some time to show them His worth
The devil agreed on thirty three years
The parley thus ended the demons all cheered
When Jesus had finished the time that was planned
He turned Himself over to the devil’s mean band
They beat Him and whipped Him and crowned Him with thorns
He carried His cross His flesh was all torn
Nails were then put in His hands and His feet
The devil cried victory Jesus died, sure defeat
But three days later He arose from the grave
The devil was doomed Jesus sealed his fate
God just smiled big as His Son now came home
He knew all along His side had won
In response to the daily prompt Parlay
When I was a baby
All I’d ever want
Was love, sleep, food
And a dry diaper.
When I was just 10
The things that I craved
Were adventure, junk food
And time with my friends
When I was twenty
I was all messed up
Lived on drugs, booze
Sex and little sleep
But then came twenty-four
A big change in my life
I learned of Jesus Christ
And His stunning sacrifice
Ever since that day
My desire’s been
To love Him with my all
And love my fellow man.
In response to the daily prompt Desire
Do not fear
Do not doubt
God is on your side
Give a cheer
Give a shout
God is drawing near
See His peace
See His joy
God will grant your prayer
Feel His touch
Feel His love
God is drawing near
He’ll never ever leave you
He’ll be right by your side
He’ll free you from your sin
And give to you new life
Lift your hands and praise Him
Lift your voices to the sky
Lift your hearts and worship
Our God, the Lord Most High
In response to the daily prompt Doubt
I heard a tale I’d heard before
When I was just a child
I wondered if it’s truth or lore
Because this time I was wild
It told of one who gave His life
To take away my sins
It said He was my sacrifice
To bring me peace within
When I realized the tale was true
I did not hesitate
To try Him out as something new
Before it was too late
Now I must say He rescued me
From all my guilt and shame
Come to Him and you will see
For you He’ll do the same
In response to the daily prompt Hesitate
It won’t make us faster
Or taller or thinner
When we give our hearts to the Lord
It won’t make us stronger
Or better or purer
To start to rely on His word
But He promises us
He will quicken our bodies
That means we will be more alive
Most days I need a good
Boost to my spirit
So I’m glad to give Him my life
It won;t make us fastIn response to the daily prompt Quicken
Not to the left
Not to the right
Will I find your way, oh Lord
Right down the middle
I’ll center my life
On the straight and narrow path
For wide is the gate
And broad the path
That leads to destruction down here
Narrow the gate
And straight the path
That leads to my heavenly home
In response to the daily prompt Center
First, I start to giggle
Then there is wiggle
As I see this word today to prompt us all
My belly starts to jiggle
As I start that silly giggle
Like a bowl of jello ready to devour
But as I give it thought
I realize it’s not
Such a funny word to laugh about
There’s one place I can’t jiggle
Or give a little wiggle
In the word of God I must be stout
You see there is no doubt
What Jesus was about
Love and mercy were His stock in trade
If we’re to follow Him
Then love for all must win
Our wiggling and jiggling must fade
In response to the daily prompt Jiggle
The life I lived was full of drink
Not water I’m afraid
I never thought I’d stop and think
How helpless I became
My life was going nowhere fast
My arid soul was weak
Then someone helped me know at last
It’s Jesus I should seek
I looked into the word of God
The living water flowed
That day I took Him as my Lord
His life did fill my soul
He rescued me in every way
He gave me life brand new
If you are struggling day by day
He’ll do the same for you
In response to the daily prompt Arid
Sometimes I feel all grown up
Like I knew all needed to know
Then someone comes
And makes me feel dumb
My ego has nowhere to go
It is then I am meek as a baby
And I try to take in every word
For there’s so much to learn
The truth I do yearn
As I hear the sweet voice of my Lord
It is time to rely on the bible
And the wisdom that God has put there
He will show us the way
Teach us day after day
If we only will lend Him and ear
