Reality is hard to come by
In today’s old, mixed up world
Who knows what to believe
In the new cycle whirl
Artificial stories
Making headlines pop
One will never know
When the rumor stops
But nothings artificial
About God’s love for you
If you want something really real
He’ll always be the truth
In response to the daily prompt Artificial
Spring time showers bringing life
Raindrops splashing through the night
Storm clouds billow up so tall
Like the raindrops, mercy falls
Our great God is oh so wise
Mercy keeps us all alive
Through his endless, boundless love
He desires us all above
Winter cold is drawing near
North wind chill that you can hear
Snow is swirling in the air
Like the snowflake, mercy falls
Our great God the seasons made
This His promise does remain
Mercy is His promise too
It will come and rescue you
Mercy falls, oh praise His name
Mercy falls, our lives are changed
His great love reaches to all
Oh what joy when Mercy falls
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.
In response to the daily prompt Promises
One day every knee will bow
In heaven and in earth
And every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
It matters not what they believed
While living on this earth
They must acknowledge He is Lord
For all the world to see
And those who served Him here below
Will then a mansion gain
But those who chose another road
A fire awaits them
As for me I’ll sing His praise
As long as I have breath
For He’s the one who gave His life
So I’d be free from sin
Oh, the great, great love of God
Who sent His only Son
To die and take my sin away
And rose to give me life
Oh the great. Great love of God
Who looks down from above
And helps me every day I live
To grow in grace and truth
I’ll lift my praise Hosanna
Glory to the King
Highest Hallelujahs
Praise His mighty name
Praise and adoration
To Jesus Christ my Lord
Worthy of my highest praise
Now and evermore.
I need to find a resting place
Where troubles will all cease
It seems the daily battles rage
And I can’t find His peace
I long to find a resting place
Where healing will be mine
It seems this worn out body
Gets sorer all the time
I hope to find a resting place
Where doubt is cast aside
Where faith is all that rules
My heart and soul and mind
I’m searching for a resting place
Where I can dwell in peace
I need a calm, assuring voice
To end my worried speech
And when the day is over
And my rhyme is almost done
A small voice whispers in my ear
And now I can rejoice
Jesus is the resting place
That I am longing for
In His arms your comfort waits
Come and make Him yours
He’ll heal you and deliver you
And peace will flood your soul
And soon you’ll find a quiet rest
That soothes and makes you whole
Come into the resting place
Where peace is alt for you
Jesus is the resting place
He’s there awaiting you.
I’m tired of the doubt that’s within me
That is welling up deep down inside
I want to have faith like a mustard seed
So I’ll know that this pain will subside
I’m tired of feeling this weakness
That my treatments have brought about
I want to have strength like an eagle
So I can His praises shout
I’m tired of being all cooped up
Inside my nice little home
I want to get out and be strong again
So once again I can roam
But I trust the Lord in all things
And I know He will bring me through
Right now the low point of my life
But soon He will miracles do
Until that day I’m delivered
From the weakness I currently have
I still will not cease to praise Him
For He is my refuge that lasts
So I will sing Hallelujah
Praise God from the depths of my heart
He is my Lord forever
From Him I will never depart
Oh what a wonderful Savior
He’s always right here with me
Oh what an awesome creator
He supplies all of my needs
I’ll always trust in His mercy
I’ll always lean on His grace
Until that wonderful, glorious day
That look upon His face.
There are times when I can hear Him
Whisper softly in my ear
And I listen so intently
Yes, my Lord, I am here
There are times when I can feel Him
Reaching out to touch my pain
Warmth flows through His hand of mercy
And my hurt will not remain
There are times when I can sense His
Holy Spirit by my side
He’s protecting me from danger
As His presence there abides
There are times I see His power
Working miracles for me
With amazing grace providing
All that I will ever need
There are times His peace comes flowing
Like a river over me
It is always overwhelming
To be covered by His peace
There are times joy comes in bubbling
Like a fountain in my soul
Even when my heart grows weary
In His joy I can be whole
There are times His love surrounds me
With a presence oh so sweet
And I know that I must share it
With each person that I meet
His love is the life blood
That fills up my veins
It is through this great love
That His fruit remains
His joy overwhelms me
It’s unspeakable
My heart bubbles up
Like an overflowed well
His peace calms my thoughts
And drives out my fear
It passes my knowledge
And dries every tear
The patience He gives me
Through trials and tests
Helps me to witness
To all of the rest
The gentleness He gives
Softens my speech
It helps me to reach more
When others I teach
The goodness He puts in
My oft evil heart
Helps me touch others
Who may have it hard
The faith that He grows
By His marvelous word
Gives me the courage
To stand and be heard
His meekness brings awe
And humility
It beats down my pride
And helps me to see
And finally temperance
Keeps me in line
So I don’t indulge
Too much at a time
The fruit of the spirit
I love them so dear
They keep me in line
As I travel this earth
My God is mercy
More than enough
To wipe away all of my sin
He gave His own Son
To die in my place
So I could have peace deep within
My God is grace
Amazing and True
He places His Spirit in me
Each day He guides me
Into His truth
As I grow to what I’m made to be
He’s more than enough
More than enough
More than enough for me
And when I lay down
To sleep, I have found
His peace washes over me
My God is love
Compassion abounds
He loved me before I knew Him
And each day he sends
This wonderful love
Into my heart once again
My God is holy
Purer than gold
His holiness Is what I yearn
He calls me to be
As holy as He
He is patient and kind as I learn
He’s more than enough
More than enough
More than enough for me
And when I lay down
To sleep, I have found
His peace washes over me
My God is faithful
Day after day
He’s always right there by my side
When I call on Him
He hears every word
And answers when it’s His time
All of these things
My God is to me
He says that’s how I ought to be
I must spread the word
Of my wonderful God
To all that He brings close to me
This one thing I know
Is that God always bestows
His gifts to all of those
Who love His son
The list s oh so long
Of gifts that now belong
To those who now belong
To Jesus Christ, God’s son
His love and His forgiveness
His joy and His sweet peace
His mercy and His grace
His hope and healing too
His deliverance and love
His Spirit and Eternal Life
The list goes on and on
Because He’s generous to us
He gives more than enough
To show us His strong love
He’ll always be right there
To hear my every prayer
