There Are Times

Leave a reply

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 

Fruit of the Spirit

Leave a reply

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

The Little Dash

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

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

Who knows where the waves take form and start out?

Who knows where they travel, or when they will stop?

Who knows how high or how far they will go?

Only the God I serve

 

Who knows where the clouds have taken their shape?

Of how big they’ll get, or when dissipate?

Who guilds them at morn and paints them at night?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is amazing, He knows everything

From the depths of all nature to what makes birds sing

His wisdom is more than imaginable

And He loves me just as I am.

 

Who placed the stars and calls them by name?

Who has arranged them to show us His grace?

Who knows how for their light will stay bright?

Only the God I serve

 

Our God is incredible.  There’s no one like Him

He sits in the on His throne and controls everything

Yet He still takes the time to hear when I pray

And He loves me just as I am.

 

So I will lift up His praise to the sky

I’ll shout from the rooftops as others pass by

My God is the one who can transform your lives

And He loves you just as you are.

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

A week of toil and labor
Has left my spirit dry
My daily meditation
Has silently slipped by
I need a restoration
Of my spirit here today
So open up the heavens
As I lift my voice in praise

I enter in the church door.
And I hear the choir sing
Amazing grace how see the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I marvel at God’s mercy
And I feel my spirit soar
Hallelujah is the chorus
That the choir has in store

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by

The congregation sings
And they lift their worship high
I can feel the Spirit moving
As King Jesus passes by
My spirit is uplifted
I feel revival here
Being in thus corporate worship
Is exactly what I need

So I lift my voice to praise Him
That He brought me to this place
There’s no substitute for worship
With the saints who seek His face

Awake, my soul, awake
For the King is drawing nigh
Arise and lift your praises
To Jesus, Lord most high
His majesty is radiant
His glory fills the sky
Awake, my soul, awake
The King of Heaven is close by
