Only one savior only one Lord
Only one Jesus to be adored
Only one life that I want to live
Loving my savior totally His

Only one Father sent his only son
Giving his all my victory won
Only one peace only one Joy
Only one love from Jesus my Lord

He is the only one worthy of praise
He is the only one full of all grace
He is the only one to bear the name
Jesus Jesus

Only one way only one truth
Only one gospel full of good news
Only one way to heaven above
All of my sins washed in the blood

I will lift up my eyes to the only one
Who can save me
Who can raise me
I will lift up my heart to the only one
Jesus Jesus

He is the only one worthy of praise
He is the only one full of all Grace
He is the only one to bear the name
Jesus Jesus

New Blog Coming Soon

Hello to all my fellow bloggers. Many of you know that I have been working on a book that is entitled The A.S.K. Principle. I blogged about this topic extensively a few months ago on my other blog site called God’s Maintenance Man. I am now going to bring it back on a separate blog. I’m doing this because the book is now in full swing and is at the editors at this time. The publisher that I’m working through also suggest that I blog about the book to enable everyone to be more informed.

I will be sharing with you thoughts behind the book, how the publishing is progressing and excerpts from the book. There will also be posts about prayer and answered prayers. I pray this will be a blessing to you and will build your faith as we go along.

I have no plan as to what days or how often I will be posting on this site. Most of the posts will probably be simple and not very long so I might update it more often. In any case I hope you will follow alonmn take a closer look at prayer and how it works in our lives.

I thank you for following this bloh.. it is a pleasure to be able to give you what God gives to me in poems. I only speak and write what He tells me to. So I can never tell you how long it will be between posts but the Psalmist blog will continue as is

Be blessed my friends

I long to be broken before my God

Poured out and empty inside

Because when I have lost all of myself

His spirit will transform my life

 

I long to be humbled by His patient hand

To lose all myself and my pride

Because when I have lost all me selfishness

His spirit will transform my life

 

I long to be lost

Lost to myself

Lost in His love divine

For when I am weak

He makes me strong

And I grow in Him every time.

 

I long to be led ever day just by Him

Not by my own selfish pride

Because when I yield up my will to His

His spirt will transform my life

 

He’ll carry me through every trial

He’ll lead me through every hard test

And then, in the end, I will know

He has always done what is best

 

I long to be lost

Lost to myself

Lost in His love divine

For when I am weak

He makes me strong

And I grow in Him every time.

Lonely People

I walk into the church here in Iowa
Waiting for the choir to begin
I settled into the back of you as I always do
As an elderly gentleman walks in

 

I have seen him here before, but it had been a while
His appearance seems to drive some folks away
I was sitting on the pew on the other side
As the congregation starts to sing God’s praise

 

Why are there so many lonely people
In a country where so many claim to know
That Christ came for the Lost
And He paid such a cost
Now our mission is His love to show

 

As I sang I couldn’t help but notice him
Tears were welling up with in his eyes
His feeble voice did lift his praise to Christ the King
I sensed His heart was breaking inside

 

The worship service came to a mighty end
In the sermon was inspiring to all
As the pastor gave an altar call prepared that day
The old man slowly rose and went aisle

 

Why are there so many lonely people
In a country where so many claim to know
That Christ came for the Lost
And He paid such a cost
Now our mission is His love to show

 

A sudden urge came over me to join him there
So I went and knelt beside him for a while
He was weeping as he bowed his head in silent prayer

Then he turned and looked at me with a smile

 

He said “Son, my wife passed on 5 years ago

And I was blaming God that she was gone

But this morning I awoke and felt the Holy Spirit call

And I knew that God had loved me all along

 

I hadn’t been to church

For all those many years

And when I heard the choir sing, I was so blessed

For God to still love me

When I had turned on Him

Overwhelmed me and brought me to His rest

 

We left the church that morning as friends

And vowed that we would keep in touch through time

I thanked the Lord He’d given me this day to realize

That a simple deed can change a person’s life

 

Let’s all try to look for lonely people

And ask the Lord what he would have us do

His mission is the same

His love will never change

He desire is to reach them through you

The Little Dash

2 Replies

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

Even through the trials, even through the tests

How do I love you, Lord?

Let me try and count the ways

There are so many things I thank you for

And I give you all my praise

 

I love you as the creator

You gave us all that we see

You provided a world where we can live

Such a marvelous place to be

 

I love you as my provider

I have no need that you can meet

You watch out for me and care for me

Every day your grace is so sweet

 

I love you for you are my healer

When I’m hurt I can trust in you

I never should doubt or fear the result

For I know you will bring me through

 

I love you for all of the blessings

That flow out to me so many ways

I cannot begin to count all the times

You have touched me day to day

 

I love you for you are my Savior

You shed your blood to set me free

And you rose again to give eternal life

I’m in awe of your great mercy

 

There are so many ways I love you

For all the things that you’ve done

My praise will continue for all of my days

Because my victory you’ve won

 

But above all these things I love you

Just because of who you are

You are Lord of all Lords forever

I am constantly in awe

 

And I will lift my praises

No matter what life brings

Because you are seated in heaven

And are crowned King of all Kings

Closer

I want to be closer.  Closer to your side

I want to be nearer.  Never let me hide

I want to be purer.  As I walk through life

I want to be yours.  In you I will abide

 

There is never a time you will leave my side

But I may wander away

When I do I can rest assured you abide

In my heart each and every day

 

You promised you’ll never leave or forsake me

Even if I should mess up

When I find myself far from where I should be

You come and fill my cup

 

When I cannot hide from the trials I face

I just want to walk away

But you come and guide me to a peaceful place

Where I can bow and pray

 

These are the reasons I trust in you

Every promise I know is true

You will be with me my whole life through

Jesus, my Lord

If you had a Rolex watch

And it was not working properly

You would take it to an expert Rolex watchmaker

 

If you had an expensive camera

And the pictures were not coming out clear

You would take it to an expert in cameras

 

Any piece of equipment we have

If it is broken

And we would want it repaired

We would take it to

An expert

 

So why do we seek out all kinds of help

When we are broken

Or run down

Or needing help

Instead of going  to the expert

The God who formed us in our mother’s womb

The God who created all things by His word

The God who loves us more than we can imagine

 

Next time your life is just not working

Go to the expert

Go to God
