Celebrate Him

3 Replies

Some trust in gazing

At stars in the sky

Thinking their future is told

Some trust in cards

That are turned one by one

Their story they hope to behold

 

But now it is Christmas

And many there be

Who wonder if it’s just not cynical

To have such a frenzy

About gifts and food

Around something that seems so mystical

 

A baby was born

So long ago

And He is our reason for joy

He came to redeem

All of mankind

From the curse of sin here below

 

So please don’t be fooled

By the gifts and the food

Those things are second to Him

He came to save

We give Him our praise

This Christmas, let’s celebrate Him

Forever Mine

Leave a reply

Life has it’s little ups and downs

As we go about our day

And often in our travels

We seem to lose our way

 

It’s nice to know that there’s a place

Where we come home to hide

From all the troubles that we face

A place where we abide

 

That place for me is Jesus

He is my hope secure

Whenever I need comfort

He’s there I can be sure

 

He said He’d never leave me

Or forsake me for all time

So I will rest in Him alone

He’ll be forever mine

Fulfilled Heart

4 Replies

The drugs I was abusing

The booze that I was drinking

The girls that I was kissing

Did not fill my spirit from the start

 

The money I was making

The laughter I was faking

But something still was missing

That would satisfy my longing heart

 

Then He came and saved me

Jesus Christ gave me His mercy

From my past sins I was set free

And I got a barnd new start

 

Now my life is filled with love

That was sent down from above

And joy and peace enough

To fulfill my grateful heart

Where Is Yours?

7 Replies

Some people have possessions

Their money or their fame

They gather up their treasure

Here on earth to lift their name

But they don’t realize

That all that stuff is just a game

To keep them occupied

Until the final judgment day

 

There are those of us who store up

All our treasure up above

Where the Lord of all the heavens

Will protect it with His love

Our families and friends

And all the good deeds we have done

Will fill our treasure chest

Until the judgment day has come

 

On that day, one by one

We’ll be called before his throne

He will open up the book

To see who made Jesus their own

And if their name is written there

Then heaven is their home

And their treasure will be theirs

Forevermore

Living in this world has it’s moments

When it seems everything goes wrong

As a Christian if I witness with my comments

Theres a chance I won’t be free for very long

 

Because the Bible says that sin is only covered

By the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

And when we accept ths Son and are converted

We must turn away from sin amd walk with God

 

If I dare proclaim that sin is sin to some

There are those who’d say I’m speaking out of hate

And they would love to make a martyr of me

Because they don’t want to leave their sinful ways

 

It matters not what they might do to harm me

My calling is to preach the word of God

So excuse me if I follow what He tells me

I would rather follow Him than man’s applause

In a Flash

One day it’s going to happen

And it’s too far away

Jesus Christ will split the Eastern sky

And all have accepted Him

As Lord of all their lives

Will vanish as from earth they take their flight

 

Imagine all the chaos

That will happen on that day

When millions will be gone iin just a flash

If you don’t want to stay behind

Ask Jesus to come in

And you will rise with us because you asked

I used to be running scared all the time

That hell was awaiting me

I’d finally taken a look at myself

And realized I wasn’t free

This spiriitual evaluation

Then brought me to my knees

And I prayed a prayer to Jesus

And asked Him to forgive me

 

He did for me just as I asked

Then He made a change by decree

He just rearranged a few letters

To make scared into sacred for me

My life now is totally different

It’s a wonder that He set me free

So now I willl live for my Savior

And through Him, how sacred I’ll be!

That Baseball Card is Worth How Much?

1 Reply

Back so many years ago

When i was just a lad

I had a panoply of baseball cards

Today I sometimes weep

When I think of what would be

If I had kept them clean and in safe guard

 

But now I see my life

And I smile with no regrets

Because I’ve taken Jesus as my Lord

And he has given me

A panoply of blessings

That is much more precious that a million cards

Which Do You Choose?

3 Replies

Some people quote Confucius

Or Plato  or Gandhi

Others look at stars and think

They need astrology

 

I prefer the words of Jesus

They echo down through time

Not only are they full of truth

They also changed my life

 

For I was once a sinful  man

Who did a whole lot wrong

But Jesus took my sin away

So now I sing His song

 

It is amazing how just words

Can make a difference

I pray that my words echo down

And touch my grand children
