I was drowning
A mountain of sin encompassed me
And I had no way out
Then I heard about Jesus
And His love for me
And His sacrifice to take away
my sin
And I took the jump
From sinner to saint
From sorrow to joy
From turmoil to peace
From doubt to faith
From worry to hope
From guilty to forgiven
From Hell to Heaven
Crossing over was easy
Won’t you take the jump?
In r0esponse to the Daily Prompt Jump
When I came to Jesus and asked Him to save
I knew I had little to give
He took what I had, and washed it away
And gave in return precious gifts
I gave Him my sorrows for all of the things
That I never seem to do right
He gave me His joy, unspeakable joy
Oh what a sheer delight
I gave Him my troubles, and many they were
They compass me every day
He gave me His peace, a peace so complete
Too wonderful to explain
I gave Him my doubts, and the fears in my life
They buried me in deep despair
He gave me His faith, so that mountains would move
If I’d call to Him in prayer
I gave Him my hurts, my aches and my pains
It seems they’re new every day
He gave me His healing, complete and secure
He heals me in every way
I gave Him my thoughts that the future was bleak
That nothing was there in the end
He gave me His hope, eternally sure
Now I know I will see Him again
I gave Him my life and my heart and my soul
It seemed I had messed them all up
He gave me salvation, and new life began
I’m free from all that can corrupt
These precious gifts, and so many more,
His mercy and grace has supplied
I just go to Him, and lay them all down
And He gives to me a new lfe.
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
This day we remember an enemy lurks
Who would love to harm us much
He has looked at our land and despises the fact
We’ve been blessed by the Master’s touch
As our morals decline and our streets fill with hate
He slowly creeps in like a fog
We better stand up and shout from the roofs
This enemy must be stopped
We love America
Land of the free
Brave soldiers bled and died
For liberty
Let all who threaten us
Be brought to dust
By the Mighty hand of God
In Him we trust
In this year of great division
All across our land
It is time we come together
And make a bold new stand
One that says we are united
And our country’s standing tall
When we rise up as a nation
We can never fall
So let us boldly lift our voices to the sky
And pray that God will hear our heartfelt cry
When we bow down on our knees
And Him only do we seek
He will come and heal our land that very day
We love America
Land of the free
Brave soldiers bled and died
For liberty
Let all who threaten us
Be brought to dust
By the Mighty hand of God
In Him we trust
I cannot help but wonder
How he came to love me so
And I cannot imagine
How his love I came to know
So is it any wonder
That I lift His name in praise
He’s more than I imagined
His worship fills my days
Oh how amazing is His love for me
He came to save me, and set me free
I am in awe of His sweet grace
I cannot wait to see His face
I cannot help but wonder
Why He left His throne above
And I cannot imagine
Why He’d die to show His love
So is it any wonder
That I give my life to Him
He’s more than I imagined
That is why His praise I sing
My wonderful redeemer will soon return for me
And take me home to heaven where His I’ll always be
All pain and sorrow He’ll erase and death will be no more
I cannot wait to see His face
The one that I adore
Oh how amazing is His love for me
He came to save me, and set me free
I am in awe of His sweet grace
I cannot wait to see His face
Oh how amazing is His great love for me

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

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

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
