Walking With Jesus

Leave a reply

Walking with Jesus

All the day long

Fills me with hope

Fills me with song

He is my Savior

My master, My Lord

There is no other

That I will adore

 

When I was a sinner

He still loved me

He took all my burdens

To Calvary’s tree

My sin wiped away

By His sacrifice

He died in my place

To give me new life

 

When He rose again

Death no longer could win

He provided a mansion

For me to dwell in

My hope is now anchored

In His word of life

That heaven’s my home

‘Til the end of all time

 

If you do not know

This Jesus today

Just ask Him to come

And make your heart His home

Ask Him to guide you

Each day that you live

You’ll never regret it

If in Him, you live

 

Walking with Jesus

All the day long

There’s no other way

To make heaven your home

Please walk along with us

And find His sweet love

You’ll soon know His peace

And the Joy from above

The Requirement

Leave a reply

What does the Lord require of me?

How can I know His will for me?

What does He ask that I should see?

Lord, help me know your plan

 

First we must do the things that are just

So that others will know we are men of trust

For our principles we will not adjust

Just to win one more friend or two.

 

Then we show mercy to all we meet

For Jesus showed mercy to us in our need

We must pass on His mercy to all that we greet

To be what He wants us to be

 

And last but not least, the most difficult part

We must walk with a humble and lowly heart

Putting others before self in all regards

So His light will shine through me

 

These words are not new, but from ages past

The old prophet Amos did speak them first

And for these three things we all should thirst.

As this is the will of God for me.

 

I pray you will heed these words this day

Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly I pray

For these are the words that the prophet did say

Are requirements of our God.

Heal Our Land

Leave a reply

I sit amidst the chaos

Of a lost and dying world

And I wonder when they’ll come to realize

That the softening of morals

And the sin they now condone

Is truly a reproach in God’s eyes

 

But I also wonder when the church

Will rise up and start to pray

That this world will turn away from all their sin

For it is our duty and our task

To know what the Bible says

And to pray from very deep down within

 

I must first humble myself

And know that I am no better

We are all the same in the sight of God

And if I lift my neighbor
As I would like to be lifted

My prayers will soon be heard in heaven above

 

And once I humble myself I pray

For the lost soul deep within

Everyone who has followed the devils’ lies

I do not judge nor condemn

But pray the light will shine through

And open the sinner’s eyes

 

Then I seek God’s grace

To know how to pray

For the Holy Spirit will give me the words

I must go to Him

To pray righteously

And not have my own thoughts be heard

 

And last but not least

I put my sin aside

If God is to answer my prayer

For If I regard

Sin in my heart

The Lord will not hear what I say

 

After all this

His promise is true

He says He’ll forgive our sin

And then, only then

Will our country revive

For He says He will heal our land

He Took and He Gave

When He died upon the cross that day
His love came down through time
He gathered all my sins away
And replaced them with His life
He took my unforgiveness
My bitterness and grief
And showed me what forgiveness really means
For I was undeserving
Of the mercy He gave me
Now I try to understand my brothers needs
He took my doubts and fears
Of who I really was
And showed me His great plan to change my life
For I was wandering aimless
Never touching anyone
Now I help the lost to change their lives
He took my insecurity
Of what the future holds
And showed me there’s a hope for all of time
For I was wasting all my time
On dead end pursuits
Now i can truly know that heaven will be mine
He took my lousy attitude
And the venom my mouth spewed
And showed me that His joy could overcome
For I was only happy
When things would go my way
Now this joy always reminds me He has won
He took away my anger
At all the hurts Ihad endured
And showed me that to love is so much more
For I was always lonely
And was closed off deep inside
Now I try to make myself an open door
The change He made in my life
Didn’t happen overnight
In fact He still has so much work to do
But one thing that I know
Is when I asked Him in my heart
My life became much better through and through

Awake to the Fact

Rumor has it grace has won

There’s no longer need for repentance

I am here to say this is false

And hell is still the death sentence

 

Jesus told us more of Hell

Then heaven when He spoke

If He so strongly used those words

Isn’t it time we awoke

 

Awake to the fact that we still need to repent

Awake to the fact that we must confess

Awake to the fact that we must ask forgiveness

For all on which we have obsessed

 

Awake to the fact that we must ask

Christ Jesus into our heart

And we must make Him our Lord and King

And promise to never depart

 

And we must Awake to not sin again

But do all our best to be Holy

Live our life like our Lord Jesus  Christ

Then grace takes over the story.

 

So do not be fooled by the lies that exist

That all you need is His grace

You must step out in faith and do what He says

Then heaven will be your place

Words From My Savior

Leave a reply

I open my eyes

And what do I see

My Blessed Savior

Looking at me

 

A smile on His face

His eyes open wide

He takes hold of my hand

And sits down at my side

 

“Hello Son” He says slowly

“I’ve so much to say

I want to guide you

Through all of your days.

 

I want to tell you

Of my wondrous plans

Drawn up I’m heaven

They’ll help you to stand

 

You see, trials will come

And sorrows you’ll know

These things are a part

Of what makes you grow

 

There’ll even be times

You’ll be sick or in pain

But what I allow

Is there for your gain

 

The problem that comes

And you don’t understand

Is that you think these things

Are not in my plan.

 

I implore you, my son

When you take time to.pray

That you also take time

To listen each day

 

So often you fill

Your prayers up with words

That you can’t hear me speaking

My soft, gentle words

 

In my words are your comfort

Your peace and your joy

So.please don’t miss out

Take time to enjoy

 

Then He got up and left

And the lesson was taken

When I.pray words don’t matter

It’s the listening that makes it

Restore The Land

Leave a reply

The enemy gathers daily

Just before the dawn

To plan a way to take you down

They gather up the gossip

Rumors and lies

And start a chain to spread it all around

 

Wording carefully crafted

And very neatly spun

Their web of deception knows no shame

The little minions gather

One by one they flee

To the human destination with their name

 

The saints of God gather

Just before the dawn

To plan a way to lift you to the King

They sound aloud their prayers

For healing and strength

To fight the battles this day’s going to bring

 

Interceding Prayers

And praises to our God

Their voices sing a song of victory

The angels gather round

To protect the saints of God

From any and all attacks of the enemy

 

With which of these groups

Do you work today?

The one lifting up?

Or the one breaking down?

 

Because as Christians we seem

To take both sides in stride

One minute we tear up

And the next we edify.

 

This ought not to be

In our lives as His church

We ought to be always

Lifting up those who hurt

 

Gossip and tale bearing

Have no place in the body

Putting others down for fun

Is an affront to our Lord

 

So come on church, rise up

Let the good words win out

Let the body of Christ

Rise up with a shout

Encourage each other

Pray for the sick

Help out the lonely

Make your faith stick

 

If all of us would

Take the time for this plan

The church would rise up

And restore this land

I Need Jesus

I need Jesus
More today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus
When life takes a turn
And I can’t discern
The path to return
I need Jesus
When sorrow arrives
And I want to hide
From sadness in life
I need Jesus
When peace can’t be found
And troubles abound
And chaos is loud
I need Jesus
When joy goes away
And I have dismal days
When every smile fades
I need Jesus
And every time I call on Him
He’s swiftly by my side
Bringing His sweet mercy and His grace
I know I can depend on Him
To constantly abide
He always gets me back to the right place
My need for Him is more than life
It’s more than breath or blood
My need for Him is deep inside my heart
So give me Jesus every time
The storms of life get rough
And every time He’ll give me a fresh start
I need Jesus
More to today than yesterday
I need Jesus
More tomorrow than today
I need Jesus

My Heavenly Father

Leave a reply

I once had a Father on earth

Who I barely knew at all

He left us when I was young

And He hardly ever called

 

We would get a gift at Christmas

And a visit here and there

But through time I grew bitter

And didn’t even care.

 

The anger inside grew mighty

As I reached my teenage years

I got into things angered my mom

And had her often in tears

 

I could not find my way through life

I struggled just to survive

The time had to come to turn around

Or I might take my life

 

Then a friend from a long time ago

Came and told me a story I knew

But He told it in such a different way

I listened and heard the truth

 

I have a heavenly Father

Who loves me very much

A heavenly Father up above

Who came my heart to touch

 

He gave His own son

To die in my place

And covered my sin

With amazing grace

 

His mercy is greater

Than all my shame

He’ll live in my heart

And call me by name

 

And one day he’ll come

And take me home

To a life everlasting

Around His throne

 

I love my heavenly Father

He takes care of all my needs

My heavenly Father

He’ll always be there for me

 

Love Inescapable

Leave a reply
Hard times hit us all
Even happy people fell
Even we have days that cause us harm
But when we get real low
We know just where to go
Back to our Father’s loving arms
He holds His arms out wide
He’s ever at my side
He’s there to pick me up when I fall down
And if I bruise my soul
He heals me ’til I’m whole
And sets my feet on solid ground
He loves me
More than anything
He loves me
So amazing
He loves me
Even when my love grows cold
He loves me
Through my troubled days
He loves me
When I’ve lost my way
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
His grace will cover me
Whenever I’m in need
His blessings come in every size and shape
His mercy overflows
My selfish, prideful soul
And helps those things to quietly escape
His sweet perfection slides
Into this heart of mine
Without me even knowing it’s His hand
And then one day I see
His humility in me
And I realize that this is what He planned
He loves me
He fills me with joy
He loves me
His peace is employed
He loves me
More than I can ever know
He loves me
I will sing His prsise
He loves me
I’ll worship His sweet name
He loves me
I cannot escape His love
