Make the Right Choice

1 Reply

I used to listen to music

That was considered underground

Acid Rock, gross in lyrics

Revolution and dissent all around

 

I didn’t know how it had shaped me

And the attitude I would live by

For I definitely had a bad spirit

And the music it just multiplied

 

Now I have changed all my music

Christian is the name of the game

And my thought life is oh, so much better

I can tell since music has changed

 

So if you find your thoughts are struggling

Maybe a change will help clear

Come up from those negative kyrics

And try Christian to bring you good cheer

The Hope of Heaven

Leave a reply

It may seem far away to you

So your not in any hurry

Your lie is going on just fine

So you don’t need to worry

 

But Jesus said the hour is near

And no one knows the day

That He will come with trumpet sound

To take His own away

 

So if you don’t know Him as your Lord

It’s urgent that you ask Him

To come into your heart today

If you ask, He’ll come in

 

And you will have that peace of  mind

That you are not alone

He’ll give you hope for all of time

And heaven will be your home

Where is Your Trust?

Leave a reply

I used to be a wild kid

Just wandering through life

I placed my trust in many things

But all of them just brought strife

 

Then I put my trust in Jesus

And He came into my heart

Now I have a calm assurance

That He never will depart

 

From now on I’ll trust Him always

My own wisdom put aside

I will give Him praise for everything

And He will daily be my guide

Subdued and Contemplative

Sometimes i sit quietly

And think about my life

Subdued and contemplative

In awe of Jesus Christ

How He took this poor lost sinner

And He gave me a new wife

Then some children and some grands

In a wonderful new life

 

He also took my sins away

And washed me up snow white

And He asked me to go out

And share His wondrous light

He’s given me a purpose

And He gives me Spirit sight

To find those that are hungry

And are struggling in their life

 

Sometimes I sit and wonder

Why my God would rescue me

Subdued and contemplative

I bow down on my knee

And I thank my Lord and Savior

For the life He’s given me

What an awesome God he is

And will forever bez

Lending the Light

1 Reply

A birthday cake is always fun

When children are involved

Their faces will light up the room

As the we sing a familiar song

 

The candle count goes with their years

They are lit and shining bright

The light reflects in the child’s eyes

As they blow them out of sight

 

But much more important is the light

That my candle shines each day

The love of Jesus in my heart

Must show others the way

 

And I must guard real closely

That it never gets blown out

Because that child depends on me

To know what God’s about

 

Keep your candle burning

Let it always lend it’s light

To those who need a Savior

Let it shine both day and night

A Little Smoother Now

2 Replies

I used to be clumsy with speech

I’d juggle and mess up my words

I liked to talk

And I wouldn’t balk

At saying things really absurd

 

I joined a group called Toastmasters

They taught me to speak really well

I now had a voice

And made the right choice

Of which words to use – it is swell!

 

 

Now I can speak so much smoother

I can share what’s important to me

The Lord Jesus Christ

Has transformed my life

And He wants to set you free!

Keeping His Word

1 Reply

I remember when my kids were young

I’d make promises so fast

And the my work would swallow me

And the promise would not last

 

They’d get all disappointed

And they remembered every line

So when it came to teenage years

It was hard to get their time

 

God made His promises to us

And wrote them in His book

He always keeps those promises

We just have to take a look

 

So open up your bible now

And see what He has said

There’s a promise there for you today

And It will come true today.

Made to Make a Difference

3 Replies

You travel through life a day at a time

Trying to find your way

It seems you are not getting anywhere fast

As you tackle life every day

Then you meet Jesus, and you ask Him to com

Into your heart to stay

And now you feel there’s a purpose to life

So you start to ask as you pray.

 

Lord, why have I had so many hurts

And difficult times in my life

Why have I faced such a series of tests

That have brought me a good deal of strife

And God answers back that now you’re prepared

To help others with things in their life

Because your an original, one of a kind

But what you have learned helps mankind

 

So get out and share your experiences

And see who wil heed your call

What you  have gone through will help many come

And answer the Masters call

Proceed With Caution

2 Replies

I  used to never be careful

About what I said or did

I just had fun and I partied

And most of my life was hid

 

But then I made Jesus my Savior

And He asked much more of me

He asked me to be His disciple

And live a life for His glory

 

So I put aside all of the parties

And I watched every word that I said

I wanted to glorify Jesus

And not bring reproach to His name

 

Now I know it’s hard to be perfect

In all that we say and do

So I will proceed with caution

As I witness to  all the world

The Only Way

2 Replies

I just woke up this morning

The sleep is still in my eyes

I opened up my computer

That’s when I realized

I had to write out this poem

And not give it any disguise

Because no one can say I’m a fool

I have Jesus, and He makes me wise

 

Some would start up an argument

Others would question why

Why do you say He’s the only way

To get to the other side?

The answer is really quite simple

It’s because He can not lie

He says no one comes to the Father

Except through His sacrifice.

 

I will trust Him forever

Because He has shown me grace

And one day that is very soon

I will finally look on His face

Won;t you believe His word today

And ask Him your sins to erase?

If you call on Him He will save you

And you’ll feel His loving embrace
