Royal Pedigree

1 Reply

He cam to a manger, cold and bare
To be born of a lowly virgin there
He grew as a son to a carpenter
Learning the trade and how to work

He taught only what He heard from above
He showed us all of His Father’s love
He served day and night as the people came
He treated them all as they were the same

Then they hailed Him as soon and coming King
They shouted Hosanna His praises they sing
A few days later they had changed their cry
They looked up at Him and cried crucify

They beat Him and mocked Him and laughed Him to scorn
They put on His head a crown of long thorns
They made Him carry His cross down the street
Then they put long sharp spikes in His hands and feet

He gave up His life on the cross that day
He died for us all and the price He did pay
He left heaven’s home to set us free
He put aside His royal pedigree

For God loved us so much He gave us His son
That all who believed in this meek holy one
Would find that their life would now be set free
And they’d live in heaven eternally

No Pretending

I look around at all the people running to and fro
I cannot help but wander where they all will go
For one day soon the clouds will part above
Jesus will return and gather those who He does love

I cannot look and see which ones will go with Him that day
I cannot determine who has followed in His ways
You see there’s only one thing that will qualify us then
Only one slight difference that no one can pretend

We must have Jesus as our Lord and Savior of our lives
We must have seen out wretchedness and asked Him to forgive
We must have turned away from things displeasing in His sight
We must now walk with Him each day and follow in His light

Will you be one to rise and meet Him on that fateful day
Will you avoid the wrath of God that’s coming anyway
If you have not decided yet and given Him your heart
Make today the day that you ask Him to be Lord

Always Enough

Where do I go when I’m hurting
Deep down I’m lost in despair
I look to Jesus my Savior
I know I’ll find comfort there

Where do I go when I’m restless
Wondering what life will bring
I look to Jesus my Savior
His peace will calm everything

All that I need
I find in Him
All I desire
Will come from Him
He’ll never leave
He’ll always love
Trusting in Him
Is always enough

Where do I go when I’m lonely
Feeling my friends have all gone
I look to Jesus my Savior
He’ll walk with me through the storm

Where do I go when I’m weary
When I just can’t finish the race
I go to Jesus my Savior
He strengthens me by His grace

Then when I finish this journey
When my life on this earth is done
He’ll come along
And carry me home
Through His sweet mercy I’ve won

All that I need
I find in Him
All I desire
Will come from Him
He’ll never leave
He’ll always love
Trusting in Him
Is always enough

Freely Given

When I observe the heavens and the way the stars are placed
I cannot help but stand and be amazed
When I observe the earth and all the beauty it contains
I cannot help but give God all the praise

When I observe a sinner that repents in earnest prayer
I cannot help but marvel at God’s grace
When I observe a life that by His mercy has been changed
I cannot help but lift my voice in praise

Of all the observations we can make upon this earth
And all the things that God supplies us with
No greater thing will mesmerize our hearts and souls alike
Than the love that God through Christ so freely gives

I See

I see beauty all around me
I see life abundantly
I see healing for my weakness
In my storms I see His peace
I see hope for my tomorrows
I see love for all I meet
When I keep my eyes on Jesus
All I see is victory

I see joy within my sorrows
I see freedom for the bound
I see the lame man leaping
I see the lost are found
I see hearing for the deaf
I see all the blind can see
When I keep my eyes on Jesus
All I see us victory

There is nothing too hard
Nothing to small
Nothing escapes Him
God sees it all
His timing is perfect
His love is immense
When I look to Jesus
My faith will be blessed

I see rest when I’m weary
I see faith when I doubt
I see comfort when teary
Jesus makes a way out
I see oceans of mercy
I see mountains of grace
I see vict’ry abounding
When I look on His face

There is nothing too hard
Nothing to small
Nothing escapes Him
God sees it all
His timing is perfect
His love is immense
When I look to Jesus
My faith will be blessed

Just One Touch

One touch from God is all that it took
To stop the rain and place a rainbow
One touch from God is all that it took
To tear down the walls of Jericho

One touch from God is all that it took
For Samson to bury the Philistines
One touch from God is all that it took
For Daniel to walk from the lion’s den

Just one touch Jesus
Just one touch now
Is all that I need from you
My life can change
In an instant I know
When I get one touch from you

One touch from God is all that it took
For water to turn into better wine
One touch from God is all that it took
To bring Lazarus back to life

One touch from God is all that it took
To save my life from despair
One touch from God is all that it took
For joy to rush into my heart

Just one touch Jesus
Just one touch now
Is all that I need from you
My life can change
In an instant I know
When I get one touch from you

I’m just a vessel
Broken and marred
Needing a touch
So I can be used
Used by the master
To share of His love
Touch me now, Lord, make me new

Just one touch Jesus
Just one touch now
Is all that I need from you
My life can change
In an instant I know
When I get one touch from you

The Day of Salvation

1 Reply

I dreamed I was rising to heaven
Jesus waited for me in the clouds
He had come back just as He promised
The trumpet had sounded aloud

I could see others rising beside me
All colors and ages were there
This day we had all been awaiting
When we would meet our dear Lord in the air

Then I looked for my friends and my neighbors
There were many making the flight
But several were not rising with me
I feared they had not seen the light

They had not asked the Lord to forgive them
Of the sins that He died for that day
They had not asked Him to be their Savior
They had not followed in His way

I know I had told them the good news
That Jesus had died for their sins
But they never decided for certain
Thinking there would be time in the end

For a moment a sadness was present
At knowing they were left behind
But His joy quickly came in and calmed me
As His presence filled up my mind

I hope if you’re reading this poem
That Jesus is Savior and Lord
If not take a moment this instant
To give Him your heart and your soul

For we don’t know the hour or the moment
When He comes there will be no more time
Today is the day of salvation
It is time to make up your mind

The Bonus on Top

2 Replies

This world can give much that we all hunger for
Great riches and fame and power untold
A bunch of good friends and a family too
All of these things we can see and can hold

But Jesus bestows on us much greater gifts
His love and mercy bring peace to our life
Joy, faith and hope come so freely from Him
All because He paid your sin sacrifice

If you are missing these great gifts today
Why don’t you come to the Savior’s side
He gave these gifts to all who obey
With the bonus on top of eternal life

Jesus Is Enough

With all this world does offer
To me most everyday
From wealth and fame and fortune
To pleasures when I stray

With all it’s glitch and glamour
That try to pull and tug
The one thing I have found
Is that Jesus is enough

Jesus is enough
His mercy fills me up
His grace pours down each day
His Spirit guides the way
His love is everlasting
His joy exhilarating
His peace does fill my cup
Yes Jesus is enough

I’ve seen the charms of this world
I’ve tasted many times
I though I had a good life
But I was dead inside

I heard about a Savior
Who cares not if I’m rough
Since I gave Him my life
I know that Jesus is enough

Jesus is enough
His mercy fills me up
His grace pours down each day
His Spirit guides the way
His love is everlasting
His joy exhilarating
His peace does fill my cup
Yes Jesus is enough

I do not need riches
I do not need fame
I do not need pleasures
I am not the same

Jesus is enough
His mercy fills me up
His grace pours down each day
His Spirit guides the way
His love is everlasting
His joy exhilarating
His peace does fill my cup
Yes Jesus is enough
