Ease Your Load

The anger I had when I was young
Was nasty and bitter and mean
I’d lash out with words that hurt and bebased
And often I’d say things obscene

Then one day I figured out how wrong I’d been
It’s a day I will never forget
My friend over years did provoke me to change
So I made a move I don’t regret

I asked Jesus to come change my life for the good
I made Him my Savior and Lord
Now my words show His mercy as blessings they give
To all who like kind gentle words

Do you need a change in your life today
Is your anger out of control
Jesus loves you and will answer your call
His blessings will ease your load

Looking for Answers

Some reach here
Some reach there
Some will reach most anywhere
Looking for answers
Why they are here
Grasping at straws
Nothing to cheer

Come right here
Come here now
Come to Jesus Christ the Lord
He has a plan
Designed for you
As the Creator
He knows what’s good

Forever With You

My eyes long to see you
My arms long to hold you
My ears long to hear your voice
My soul lifts in worship
I enter your presence
My heart leaps and I rejoice

What a Savior you are
Sweet Jesus
What a kind gentle Lord to me
You are here by my side
In your love I’ll abide
Forever with you I will be

My lips long to praise you
My heart longs to love you
My spirit longs for your truth
You come and surround me
With your grace and mercy
I bow down and worship you

What a Savior you are
Sweet Jesus
What a kind gentle Lord to me
You are here by my side
In your love I’ll abide
Forever with you I will be

Not a day goes by
That I’m not satisfied
With the blessing that your love brings
Not a minute
Not a second
There’s no time like the present
To lift up my voice and sing

What a Savior you are
Sweet Jesus
What a kind gentle Lord to me
You are here by my side
In your love I’ll abide
Forever with you I will be

 

A Better Way

I’d been a mess most of my life
From high school on I caused much strife
My mouth was harsh with nasty words
My actions full of devilish works

I ran into a childhood friend
Who told that my life could mend
He said that Jesus loved me so
I doubted all the words he spoke

I went to visit him one day
Convinced there was a better way
I bowed my head and softly prayed
Then suddenly by life was changed

If you are headed down a road
That seems to leave you with a load
Cast all your cares on Christ today
He’ll  show you that better way.

Things We Shunned

Give a little
Take a little
That’s the world today
Wrong is right
Right is wrong
You must all now obey

The problem is
The things we give
Are lifestyles from the past
Replacing them
With things we shunned
Our moral code has lapsed

When Jesus walked
Upon this earth
He was uncompromising
He told the truth
About God’s love
His word is justifying

The church are those
Who call Him Lord
The live in righteousness
Keep following
The word of God
His moral code is best

In response to the daily prompt Uncompromising

Fact Check

We hear speeches every day
Asking us to not be swayed
By someone who finds a way
To make a better life

Solemnly their plans they teach
Hoping we will hear their speech
Promising the best for each
End to all our strife

The next day people start to doubt
Fact checks show what their about
Good ideas are all thrown out
Thinking they are lies

In the end one truth will stand
Above all else throughout the land
Jesus died and rose again
His kingdom never dies

If you seek the truth today
Come to Jesus kneel and pray
He’s the truth the life the way
He will give you life

Forever Over All

The time is coming soon
When Jesus will return
The clouds will open wide
The trumpet shall be heard

He’ll come for all the saints
Who are faithful to His word
They will meet Him in the air
Forever with our Lord

We’ll sing glory hallelujah
Holy is His name
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy Holy Holy
Is the King of Kings
Forever over all He shall reign

In one blink of an eye
The scene above will come
Are you ready for His call
Have you made Him number one

If you haven’t now’s the time
Bow your knee and call to Him
He is ready to forgive you
And cleanse you from your sin

We’ll sing glory hallelujah
Holy is His name
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy Holy Holy
Is the King of Kings
Forever over all he shall reign

A Higher Plateau

Is your peace fading fast from your trials
Are you losing your joy day by day
Do you still have great hope for the future
Or does this world just seem to betray

Perhaps it is time for a retsart
Take your life to a higher plateau
It’s easy to find a new pathway
That will forge a new life for you

Jesus died on a cross long ago
To provide all these blessings no charge
Just accept Him and make Him your Lord
Then you’ll find life won’t be so hard
To provide all these blessings to you

Once Upon A Time

I once had sorrow then joy filled my heart
I once had troubles then peace stilled the storm
I once was doubtful then faith came along
My life is not what it once was

Once upon a time I was lost
Wondering if I would survive
Then Jesus came in
He took all my sin
Now I am free and alive

I once was bound up then hope brought me out
I once was fearful then love brought a shout
I once had weakness them He gave me strength
Now my life rests in Him

Once upon a time I was useless
Nothing of good came from me
Then Jesus did call
Now I give my all
To be what He made me to be

No more will I go drifting
No more will I live in fear
No more will I be doubting
Jesus is all I need

Once upon a time I was lost
Wondering if I would survive
Then Jesus came in
He took all my sin
Now I am free and alive

Once upon a time I was useless
Nothing of good came from me
Then Jesus did call
Now I give my all
To be what He made me to be
