Where Is Christ

Leave a reply

​

I see you

Sitting in darkness

Covered by life

Smelly

Dirty

Overtaken in dismay

Disheartened 

Defeated 

Lost

I wonder 

How you got there

What was you’re life

Successful

Happy

Enriched by children

Bright future 

Victorious 

Alive

Then it all fell apart

Crumbled 

Like a house of cards

All gone 

Job

Family

Respect 

Position 

One mistake

All gone

I don’t see

Your need

I blind myself 

I shut my mind

I walk on by

Where is Christ 

Where is mercy

Where is compassion 

Where is love

Christ

Is in you

Calling out

Wanting me to turn

To open the door 

To let you in

Christ 

Is in me

Begging to act

To touch you

To heal you

To bring peace

Bring joy

I don’t listen

I walk on by

I fail

Help me, Lord

To open my eyes

And my heart

To you.

Harmful Destination

2 Replies

I never would have guessed
That what I thought was best
Was really just a harmful destination
When I looked around
I ultimately found
My life was headed for some devastation

So I listened to  a friend
Cared for where I’d land
He told me I should give my  life to Jesus
I did the very same
And now my  life is tame
I  know that in  His mercy I can trust

Oh, The Great, Great Love Of Jesus

2 Replies

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Overwhelms me every day
And I find that I am trusting
In His mercy and His grace

When I think about His majesty
And How He reigns supreme
I can’t fathom why he gave His life
To save a wretch like me

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Reaches out to touch my heart
And I find that I am resting
In the peace He does impart

When I think about His royalty
The King of Kings is He
I am awed that he would take the time
To walk beside of me

Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Fills me with a raging fire
Beckons me to tell all that I meet
They are His hearts desire

My Disclosure

1 Reply

I am a poem composer
And in way of a disclosure
I give my Jesus exposure
Because I love Him so

He took my life from chaos
Where I was headed for great loss
He paid such a great cost
Because He loved me so

So now I praise with a shout
To tell what He’s all about
His message has to get out
Because He loves you so

I Wait For You

5 Replies

I wait for you
In the quiet night
To come and shed
Your glorious light

I wait for you
In desperate need
To feel your touch
And soon be healed
I wait for you
In hope and peace
I know your love
Is here with me
And when I wait
Upon you Lord
I know my strength
Will be restored
And I shall rise
On eagles wings
I’ll run not tired
I’ll walk and sing
I’ll sing your praises
Loud and clear
For all the world
To plainly hear
I’ll shout glory
Hallelujah
Jesus Christ
My Lord Messiah

Reflection

2 Replies

I’m waiting for the sunrise
The air is filled with fog
I know the light will be delayed
But it  will come along

When all the fog burns off
And sunlight fills the sky
I’ll see the gorgeous frosted trees
As we go driving by

I love a winters frosting
It makes the day go right
To see the glistening branches
Reflecting the sunlight

I only hope that my life
Is a little like this day
That others see the love of Christ
Reflect in what I say

Not only in the words I speak
But in all that I may do
Lord please let my reflection
Always show that I love you

My Heart Cries Out

5 Replies

I still remember when I first met Jesus

Sitting on a couch in Iowa

He came into my heart

Gave me a brand-new start

I knew that He was with me all the way

 

It’s been over 40 years since that day

When the burden of my sin was washed away

Since then I’ve learned to pray

And to follow in His ways

But most of all I’ve learned to praise His name

 

My heart cries out to praise Him

For all He’s done for me

His mercy’s overwhelming

His grace is sweet indeed

I lift my hands in worship

To Jesus Christ my King

My heart cries out to praise Him

He is my everything

 

Today I know He teaches me His truth

And He’s become my guiding light

I trust in Him always

I know He plans my days

I will never be out of His sight

 

And should this day bring troubles

That make me doubt and fear

I know He’ll comfort me

And in His arms I’ll be

Safe and sound, His love will be so near

 

My heart cries out to praise Him

For all He’s done for me

His mercy’s overwhelming

His grace is sweet indeed

I lift my hands in worship

To Jesus Christ my King

My heart cries out to praise Him

He is my everything

 

Fill The Air

Leave a reply

You may have seen I got a little antsy
And hit the publish button way to soon 
And my asthetic post
Went out with too much haste
So I changed what this quick post was going to do

I was going to talk about my Saviors beauty
Asthetically He’s way beyond compare 
Instead I think I’ll say
I’ll praise Him everyday
And hope that you will help me fill the air

Fill it with His  praises 
Loud Hosannas ring
Fill it with your worship 
Of Jesus Christ our King 
Fill with Hallelujahs 
Lift your voice and sing 
Fill the air with praises
To Jesus  Christ our King

I Lift Him Up

Leave a reply

The desire wells up within me

Until I cannot contain it inside

My heart starts to beat a bit faster

And my hands lift up high to the sky

 

I raise my voice to the heavens

And His praise comes flowing out

My feet cannot keep from dancing

As I worship my Lord with a shout

 

I lift Him up

The name of Jesus Christ

I lift Him up

The one who gives new life

I lift Him up

My Savior and my Lord

The one that I adore

The King of Kings forever

I lift Him up

 

I sense His presence around me

As I lift up my voice and sing

Eternal Hallelujahs

To Jesus Christ  my King

 

I lift Him up

The name of Jesus Christ

I lift Him up

The one who gives new life

I lift Him up

My Savior and Lord

The one that I adore

The King of Kings forever

I lift Him up

 

He is to be magnified, Jesus

He is to be glorified, Jesus

He is to be exalted

Jesus Christ my Lord

 

I lift Him up

The name of Jesus Christ

I lift Him up

The one who gives new life

I lift Him up

My Savior and Lord

The one that I adore

The King of Kings forever

I lift Him up

Ever True

Perhaps you don’t have peace today
Or your joy has just run out
Maybe hope has vanished
And your life is filled with doubt

Maybe trials and troubles
Are closing in real fast
You don’t know where to  turn to
And you wonder if you’ll last

There’s an open invitation
That is waiting just for you
Jesus  knocking on your heart
He wants to comfort you

Won’t you ask Him in today
With a simple little prayer
“Jesus come into my heart,
I’m trusting in your grace”

Now just thank Him for His peace
Though you may not feel it yet
Thank Him for His love
And he joy He’s fill you with

But most of all just thank Him
That He waited just for you
To accept His invitation
Now to Him be ever true
