Walking With Jesus

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

Knowing His Love

It’s not hard to explain

The love I have inside

For Jesus Christ my Lord

The one they crucified

He took away my sin

The day he bled and died

And when He rose again

He gave eternal life

 

His love fills me with joy

And that abundantly

This joy that lasts all day

And always comforts me

No circumstance can change

This joy that’s deep in me

It bubbles out in love

For all the world to see

 

His peace is always there

To brighten up my day

It keeps me safe and sound

Wherever I may stray

I never have to worry

When trials come my way

Because His peace is there

It gives me strength to pray

 

I’ll never lose the hope

Of heaven that’s ahead

My future is secure

I will not fear or dread

When all of life is gone

And to most I will be dead

My hope has made a mansion

Where I will rest my head

 

This poem could go on

For days and even years

Listing all the ways

His love is oh so dear

And all the benefits

He whispers in my ear

My prayer is that you’ll come to know

The love this poem shares

One Way

I dreamed I was in heaven
And Jesus walked with me
We went out by the pearly gates
Where a long line I did see
I asked my Lord about it
And He told me just to watch
And listen for a moment
As the line moved slowly past
The first one was a man
Who had given to the poor
He had always put his neighbor first
And never took rewards
To many here on earth
His life had been a blessing
But the angels said I’m sorry
The main thing is still missing
The second was a women
Who had given up her life
As a living testimony
To the church and as a wife
She baked and cleaned and chored
Spent all her time for God
But the angels said I’m sorry
There is one thing you have not
A third and forth and fifth came down
And all had done great things
Some were even pastors
Who were living offerings
But as they told their stories
Of works that they had done
The angels said I’m sorry
You can’t enter, not a one
Then I saw another angel
With a woman who was plain
The angel brought her past the line
To a door with Jesus name
They stopped but for a moment
And the guard opened the book
Then they entered into heaven
And the other stood and looked
I said dear Lord please tell me
What does all of this mean
He looked at me and smiled
It’s simple to explain
The people in the line
Think works will get them in
But this lady had accepted me
And help me deep within
You see my son, the truth is
There is no other way
To enter into heaven
Then to call upon my name
The works you do don’t matter
Nor what you have to give
But if you make me Lord of all
You will in heaven live

My Source

When I thirst I need a fountain

When I am sad I need more joy

When I’m in turmoil peace will comfort me

When I have doubts I turn to faith

When I seem lost I can’t lose hope

When I feel down, love is what I need

 

There are times my life gets dry and hard

I just wallow in the dust

It is in these times the living water flows

You’re my source for strength in battle

As you quench my thirsting soul

I can feel the Holy Spirit in me grow

 

When life brings situations

That bring sadness to my life

I can count on you for overwhelming joy

You’re my source for inspiration

When the burden gets to hard

I can count on you to make my spirit soar

 

In days of great confusion

When I don’t know where to turn

I know that your sweet peace will comfort me

You’re my source for calm assurance

That all things will turn out good

And I’ll rest in the abundance of your peace

 

There are times my doubts take over

And I wonder where to turn

Then I read your word and faith is lifted high

You’re my source for truth and wisdom

In the times I trust my flesh

You renew the faith that gives eternal life

 

In this world of greed and power

It is easy to get turned

From the hope you have instilled within my heart

You’re my source for all the future

I can know heaven’s my home

And forever my abode will not depart

 

Your love is so amazing

Your love is so divine

It sought me out when I was full of sin

You’re me source for loving others

The way that you loved me

Help me, Lord, to keep your love within

Homeward Bound

I’m waiting for the trumpet sound
When dead believers leave the ground
They rise to Him
Free of their sin
And will go with Him, homeward bound
Then those of us who still remain
And confess the Lord, Christ Jesus name
Will leave this earth
And rise with mirth
And join Him in the clouds that day
But all who do not know the Lord
Will stay here on this earth forlorn
The judgment day
Will soon take place
And they will weep, and cry and mourn
The book of Revelation comes
God’s wrath us poured out on everyone
Though some get saved
That will be spared
The rest will suffer pain unknown
And when the final battle ‘ s won
Christ’s victory will all be done
If we’re with Him
We also win
And heavens home for everyone
But those who lose this fateful day
Will with their last breath surely pay
The Lake of Fire
Is their last pyre
Hells’ torment is where they remain
You must tell those around you now
That Jesus soon is coming down
Please get them saved
So they’ll evade
The judgement coming in the clouds

Journey Home

This world has been good to me

I’ve enjoyed friends and family

I have tried to live God’s plan for me

As I take this journey home

 

For I know this life is just a test

To see what I’ll do if I am blessed

Will I share with others or just rest

As I take this journey home

 

There is one choice I must make

If I want to always live by grace

I must accept the price He paid

When He died at Calvary

 

That one choice must be for Him

Because it tells my journey’s end

Well it be joy in Heaven’s realm

Or forever stay in hell

 

 

 

 

 

Written in response to the Daily Prompt Tourist

The Lukewarm Fence

 

I made a decision

A long time ago

To accept Jesus as my Lord

I know heaven will be my home

 

There are others who choose

To ignore God’s  call

They have rejected the Lord

And to hell they will fall

 

But the bible says many

Will decide not to choose

They will always remain lukewarm

Those many who take

This stance in life

Really need to be warned

 

You cannot have one foot in heaven

From hell there is one sure defense

You must come to Jesus with all ofm your heart

And get off of that lukewarm fence

The Celestial City

I can’t wait to get home to glory

Where my precious Jesus I’ll see

I;ll walk through those pearly gates

And onto the celestial sea

 

Golden streets will welcome my footsteps

Trees of healing will line the street

And I’ll sit at the feast He has made me

And then my Jesus I’ll meet

 

Oh what singing there ll be in that City

The Celestial City of God

All praises to Him will be lifted

I will stand before Him in awe

 

I urge you to make sure your ready

By making Jesus your Lord

And one day you’ll enter to heaven

The Celestial City of God

 

In response to the Daily Prompt City

With You, Lord

I want to be with you, Lord
To dance around your throne
To praise your name forever
To make heaven my home
I want to be with you, Lord
To walk the streets of gold
To see those gone before me
To no more getting old
Yes, heaven will be wonderful
A lovely place to stay
But I won’t wait for heaven
To walk with you each day
Because you said you’re with me
And will never leave my side
I choose to walk with you, Lord
While I on earth abide
I am always with you, Lord
To weather every storm
To see me through my trials
To keep me from all harm
I am always with you, Lord
To guide me day by day
To teach me by your Spirit
To walk in all your ways
Your promises are true Lord
And if I walk thus way
When I come to deaths door
I’ll pass through heavens gates
So if you want a heav’nly home
Then make this your daily chore
Walk with Jesus here on earth
And heaven will be yours.

Choosing to Win

What is this life about?
Is it learning all that I can?
Is it making a lot of friends?
Or making my own special plans?
What is this life about?
Is it partying into the night?
Is it trying to always be right?
Or winning each quarrel or fight?
I think life is about much more than this
It is more than just playing a game
This life is a journey, it’s running a race
That awaits us when we reach the end
You see life doesn’t stop when we take our last breath
It has actually only begun
This life will determine where the next one starts out
So you need to be choosing to win.
What exactly was Jesus life all about?
It was saving the lost gone astray
It brought healing to sick and sight to the blind
And it taught all of us the right way
What exactly was Jesus life all about?
It was laying His life down for us.
It was teaching us pride has no place in the wise
And showing us mercy and grace
His example is clear and His message us true
So shouldn’t we follow His lead?
He showed us what this life should be all about
About filling our neighbors needs.
So put of your thoughts of me first and mine
Let’s do what He put us here for
Treating our neighbor as deserving of love
That is what this life is for.
