I Stand Amazed

Leave a reply

There are many thing in earth

That take my breath away

Every day I can observe

The marvels  that come my way

 

From the brilliant sun at dawn

To the colors of sun set

The birds melodious song

And the flowers powerful scent

 

Then I think about my body

And the way it’s carefully made

There is no other copy

Unique in all it’s ways

 

All these things bring wonder

To my big imagination

I marvel as I ponder

The vastness of creation

 

It’s awesome, Oh, so awesome

That God would care so much

To give us this great earth

So He could stay in touch

 

But even more than awesome

Is the love He has for me

That He would give His son

To take my sin from me

 

So now I stand amazed

At all that He has done

But I truly am in awe

Of His abiding love

Take Aim

2 Replies

I cannot imagine life without God

I cannot imagine not knowing His touch

I cannot imagine not knowing His love

I cannot imagine it at all

 

Truth is, I used to be there

Living without God

Living in an aimless life of sin

I didn’t have much hope

In what the future held

And I surely had no lasting peace within

 

But then I met the Savior

Jesus is His name

He gave His life to take away my sin

But more than that He promised

That He’d prepared a plan

So I would not go aimlessly again

 

If your destination

Is not so clear to you

And aimless is your life’s detour

Then why not come to Jesus

And see His plan for you

Take aim at being all He made you for

His Perfection

Leave a reply

I used to try and do it all

Not wondering if wrong or right

But it wasn’t long before I’d fall

And get lost in the fight

 

I wanted to be perfect

To impress all of my friends

But I soon found the difference

To gain any respect

 

Because I can never be perfect

In this human flesh I have

The only chance at that aspect

Is to call on Jesus name

 

Because when He comes to live in me

His Spirit makes me whole

And His perfection dwells in me

Forever in my soul

The Celestial City

Leave a reply

I can’t wait to get home to glory

Where my precious Jesus I’ll see

I;ll walk through those pearly gates

And onto the celestial sea

 

Golden streets will welcome my footsteps

Trees of healing will line the street

And I’ll sit at the feast He has made me

And then my Jesus I’ll meet

 

Oh what singing there ll be in that City

The Celestial City of God

All praises to Him will be lifted

I will stand before Him in awe

 

I urge you to make sure your ready

By making Jesus your Lord

And one day you’ll enter to heaven

The Celestial City of God

Open Up

Have you closed your heart?

Have you shut your mind?

Is your spirit all cooped up?

Are you stuck in time?

Wondering how to change?

Then it’s time to open up!

 

Open up to the fact that God loves you

Open up to His mercy and grace

Open up to the knowledge He knows you best

And He cares for you more than you know.

 

Open up to the Spirit’s calling

His sweet voice is sounding your name

He will take all your sin and bury it

He will wash you as white as snow.

 

Are you wanting peace?

Joy and hope within?

Faith and love to win?

Then Open up today

To Jesus

 

 

 

 

What a Universe!

Can you see the beauty of creation  all around you

Flowers blooming in the springtime

Leaves falling in the fall

Do you stop and look at stars up above you

Or the way the sun keeps time

Or the way the stars can fall?

 

Does it ever occur to you

That there’s an order to it all

That cannot be just circumstance

The course of nature’s due

To one celestial call

It is not a matter of just chance

 

So the next time someone says

A bang is what explains

The start of this great universe we love

 

I’d ask you to take days

To speak to them real plan

And tell them of our precious God above

No More Struggling

Struggle  Written in response to the Daily Prompt

I used to blame God for my hardships

It seems He was out to get me

I wandered in drugs and  some drinking

And thought He’d abandoned me

 

But one day I turned toward His mercy

And I asked Him to enter my life

I can still remember His answer to me

As He walked in and opened my eyes

 

He said my struggle was not against Him

But against my own sinful heart

But now that I had Him walking with me

The path would not be so hard

 

He said He’d walk with me every day

And help me with anything hard

So I smiled and I took hold  of His hand

And my struggles all seemed to depart

 

Building Blocks

4 Replies

What have you been building

All throughout your life?

Is it wealth and admiration

That you exchanged for strife?

Is it power and your passions

That does your soul ignite?

Or maybe its the things you do

To enjoy the party Life?

 

I was that way so long ago

I went after all those things

But  found them to be empty

They didn’t lead to anything

So I decided to tear down the old

And rebuild my life into one that sings

 

I build upon the Love of God

A foundation true and strong

I built upon His mercy

And His grace just came along

I built upon His sacrifice

His final ending sigh

I built my Life on Jesus Christ

The Building Block of Life

Rebuild

When I’m Under Standing

2 Replies

Sometimes my understanding

Is with knowledge and with words

Ignorance is banished

My mind is now renewed

But only when I’m understanding

The wisdom of the Lord

Can I truly have the wisdom that I  need

For understanding God

Is to stand under His shadow

And be infused with His knowledge

Which leads to all understanding

So ‘ll be Under Standing God

And walk in all His mercy

And the wisdom He imparts

Will light my way.

 

 

 

Understanding written in response to the Daily Prompt

A Simple Life

Leave a reply

Written in response to the prompt from the daily caller

Life often gets  complicated

The time just slips on by.

With work, family and social things

I wish I could sometimes fly

 

I am often off running in circle

To get where I need to be

It’s not that I think it’s annoying

It’s just that I can’t schedule me

 

My Lord says to be a like a child

To live in simplicity

They don’t have a plan book or schedule

They just live by faith in mercy

 

Lord, help me to be like thia child

Who totally trusts in your love

Let me live a life that’s simple

Not complicated with stuff
