All Worked Out

Leave a reply

I once had stinking thinking
When my head was screwed on wrong
When I got drunk and high on drugs
I thought good things would come

For several years I wandered far
And messed up my own life
But then one day I thought a sec
And opened up my eyes

I couldn’t help but criticize
The mess I’d made so far
I quickly came to realize
That life was one big scar

So I gave my heart to Jesus
And He healed me inside out
Now I have a joy and peace
My life has all worked out

One More Soul

Leave a reply

Come to Jesus
He is waiting
Waiting here to comfort you
Come to Jesus
He is calling
Calling out to rescue you

If you do not know my Savior
If you have not asked Him in
Now’s the time to pray in earnest
Today’s the day to call to Him

Long ago He died to save you
Took your sin upon that cross
You no longer have to worry
Jesus Christ has paid the cost

Listen close this is important
He is waiting just for you
Ask the Savior for forgiveness
Ask the Lord to rescue you

Tell Him that you need His mercy
Tell Him you will follow Him
Thank Him for His great salvation
When that’s done He will come in

He will bring you peace that calms you
He will bring abundant joy
He will fill your heart with His love
You’ll have hope forevermore

A song of praise will rise within you
Hallelujahs fill the air
Angels will rejoice in heaven
One more soul is saved down here

Then you’ll share it with your neighbor
He will see the change in you
He will want to share this blessing
One more soul will be rescued

Come to Jesus
He is waiting
Waiting here to comfort you
Come to Jesus
He is calling
Calling out to rescue you

I Am His Child

5 Replies

I knelt before the Lord today
I bowed my head so I could pray
‘Twas then I heard Him softly say
I love you, son.  You are my child

The words were music to my ears
I closed my eyes and felt my tears
The joy inside my heart was real
I felt His love.  It made me smile

I love you too, Lord.  That you know
I asked you in so long ago
You’ve been with me and helped me grow
I thank you, Lord.  I am your child

My child, you have grown in faith
Now it is time you run the race
Please go tell others of my grace
They need to know my love as well

Yes, Lord.  I will do my part
I’ll go tell them to give their heart
I know you’ve loved them from the start
I’ll testify you love them all

With that I lifted up my praise
To Jesus Christ for His sweet grace
I thanked Him for His love this day
Because I know I am His child

Saving Grace

1 Reply

I can’t find a way to tell you
How much Jesus means to me
Until you recognize His saving grace
He is more than just a friend
And more than just a crutch
He’s the one who on the cross did take my place

I was lost and meant for hell
When He came to me and called
He told me that He loved me more than life
That’s why so many years ago
He gave His life for me
And rescued me from all my sin and strife

And in case you didn’t know
He did it for you, too
For everyone who calls on Him He saves
So won’t you pray today
And ask Him to come in
And then you’ll recognize His saving grace

Simpler Life

I’ve tried real hard 

throughout my life

To be a step ahead

The hurry and the scurry 

always kept my

Wondering

What if I resist

The urge

To keep up with the Joneses 

And I just lived

A simpler life

With Christ
What I found 

When I slowed down 

Was peace

And joy

I’d never known

I found contentment 

Even in hard times

Because I knew

He was there

What a find

What a privilege 

To have Him

There
Now I do my best

To resist 

The call of the world 

And respond to

The call of

Christ

Sweet Smelling Savor

Leave a reply

A movie was made a while ago
Scent of a Woman the story told
Al Pacino won the Oscar gold
A performance I truly admired

I’ll trade any day the scents from this world
For the sweet smelling savor of prayers to our Lord
Rising to meet Him in heaven adored
As an offering He will accept

So enjoy all you can this old world and it’s smells
Because one day He’ll come we know this quite well
The day and the hour no human can tell
Be ready for His soon return

The Only Way

Leave a reply

It seems there’s substitutes
For everything these days
From cracker jacks to table salt
There’s always one more way

But that’s not true with heaven
Jesus is the only way
No replacement can be found
For the price that He did pay

If you’re looking for he answers
And your stuck in middle ground
Juts give your life to Jesus
He’ll turn your life around

My Heart Cries Out

1 Reply

I’m not sure what this day will bring
Or how it will turn out
I only know what I feel now
And what I think about
It’s early in the morning
The sun has just come out
And though I am still waking up
I feel a coming shout

A shout of praise is welling
Deep down inside my soul
I cannot stop the movement
I love to praise my Lord
This feeling overtakes me
My voice begins to toll
Like a loud and clanging bell
I ring out for my Lord

Hallelujah, Praise His name
Jesus  Christ my King
Hallelujah, He is Lord
He’s my everything
Glory to His holy name
I will shout and sing
Hallelujah, worship Him
Jesus Christ my King

This day would never be complete
If I did not praise His name
I start out in the morning
And praise Him all the day
Then when the sun is setting
My heart will sing His praise
This day will be fulfilling
Because His name was raised

Hallelujah, Praise His name
Jesus  Christ my King
Hallelujah, He is Lord
He’s my everything
Glory to His holy name
I will shout and sing
Hallelujah, worship Him
Jesus Christ my King

Confound he Wise

Leave a reply

It’s not that complicated
It doesn’t take a lot
To free yourself  from sin
And make it right with God

In fact, it’s rather simple
And that confounds the wise
All you have to  do is pray
And accept His sacrifice

Once you’ve taken that step
You’re life is right with Him
You can know your heaven bound
And have His peace within
