Perplexed is a word that we often use
When seeing the plight of this world
There seems to be conflict on every side
And everything’s up in a swirl
If we could just reach out in love and not hate
As Jesus would have us to do
Perplexed is a word that would soon disappear
As we follow the golden rule
In response to the daily prompt Perplexed
It may seem irrational
Or even quite radical
That one man could make such a change
But I’m here to tell you
That this change is quite true
Through Jesus life was rearranged
From a dirty, ugly sinner
I was far from a winner
When I found out that He really loved me
I asked Him to come in
My life was cleansed from sin
And now I know He’ll meet all of my needs
So if you need a change
And life needs rearranged
Why don’t you cry to Jesus Christ today
He’ll gladly save your soul
And make your spirit Whole
Then guide you as you travel in His way

When I feel down
And life seems so hard
I go to the cross
To get recharged
Then praise to the Lord
Spring forth from my lips
And my soul is uplifted again

We all live our lives the best that we can
Trying to leave some mark on the land
When our time is done and our life is at rest
Our bodies are laid in the ground
The graves are all marked with a stone of some kind
With some words written to keep through time
And the dates of the life of the person are there
Separated by a dash of a line
That dash is now sandwiched between birth and death
All of your life is wrapped up in it
What does that dash say about you?
That is the question we one day will get.
So let’s make a sandwich that touches our friends
That reaches beyond to incredible ends
Don’t let that dash just be a small line
Let it bring joy and peace through the land
In response to trh daily prompt Sandwich
Royal is a word we often hear
To describe the grandest of clothes
Or the rich way that decorators
Will garnish the walls of our homes
Regal means kingly attire
Garments that show majesty
I awe at their brilliance and splendor
And wonder how they’d look on me
But more Elegant was our Savior
As He died upon that tree
Wearing the blood of our sins
As a sacrifice for me
No love has been more beautiful
So much has never been given
As His elegant act to save us
And take us to heaven with Him
In response to the daily prompt Elegant
I remember well
The Alka Seltzer tale
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz
Would fix you when you ail
But that was temporary
And wouldn’t last for life
Relief would need to come again
When you weren’t feeling right
When you come to Jesus
He wipes away your sin
And sends it far away from you
It won’t come up again
The relief that brings inside you
Is more than you can know
So put your faith in Jesus
And see those ailments go
In response to the daily prompt Plop
It’s an easy life
To just eat cake
Sit back and take it easy
But in the end
You’ll be alone
And hell will make you queasy
The harder road
Is sacrifice
A life that’s lived for Christ
But in the end
Heaven will win
You’ll enjoy eternal life
And when in Christ
The blessings far
Outweigh the price you pay
The cake you eat
While serving Christ
Gets sweeter every day

In Wonderland she walked
Trying to find her way
Alice wasn’t sure
If she really should stay
Then she saw a funny thing
A moon eclipse she thought it was
But when it was revealed
A Cheshire cat smile as the cause
The cat was full of joy
And funny little tricks
He made himself invisible
Except his smile and licks
As we go through this life of ours
It seems joy can be fleeting
But the joy of the Lord will never cease
It’s abundance is relieving
So make your joy be in the Lord
And not in earthly things
And you w ll see how it endures
When earthly joy is fleeing
In response to the Daily Prompt Eclipse
My hometown is real pretty
With streets set up in squares
And it’s easy to walk through
With sidewalks everywhere
I kius happened to be walking
Down a sidewalk yesterday
When I meet a man that limped
And was obviously in pain
I asked if I could pray for Him
That God would Heal his leg
He told me that would be great
So I took His hand and prayed
I saw a tear come down his face
As I finished up my words
He said thank you so very much
I know your prayer was heard
We went out on our merry way
A smile broke on our face
A joy filled up my peaceful heart
I was glad I shared His grace
In response to the daily prompt Sidewalk
It’s a song for the ages
Sung in heaven above
The angels sing it boldly
Telling of God’s love
The melody is beautiful
The chorus fills the skies
Cherubim and seraphim
Sing it as they fly
His love is so amazing
His love is so divine
It reaches down from heaven
And touches you and I
