Many Blessings

1 Reply

I think about the fact
That Jesus loves me so
And it seems my love for Him
Just grows and grows and grows

My heart will sing His praises
Every single day
As I count the many blessings
That He has sent my way

He died for me so long ago
To take away my sin
He walks with me from day to day
Gives me peace and joy within

His Holy Spirit comforts me
Whenever I am down
I know that I can trust in Him
To keep me safe and sound

I lift my praise to Jesus
For the blessings in my life
I will worship Him forever
I will lift His name on high

He brought me to my wife
A thousand miles away
He put a love within me
That still is strong today

Three children blessed our marriage
Five grandchildren too
They share their love for us
In everything they do

He’s blessed me with good work
And friends that bolster me
And helps me be a blessing
To others in their needs

I lift my praise to Jesus
For the blessings in my life
I will worship Him forever
I will lift His name on high

I have many Christian friends
Who will listen when I talk
And the pastors in my life
Have helped me in my walk

But more than anything
I’m blessed with His sweet grace
And His mercy overwhelms me
Oh, I long to see His face

I lift my praise to Jesus
For the blessings in my life
I will worship Him forever
I will lift His name on high

It Doesn’t Matter

Will the new year bring a healing
To my feet and shoulder too
It doesn’t matter, Lord
Because I will still praise you

Will the new year bring a blessing
To these finances of ours
It doesn’t matter, Lord
I’ll still praise you every hour

Will I start to work again
And have good response from all
It doesn’t matter, Lord
I will answer when you call

My heart is set to worship you
And lift your holy name
No matter what I may go through
I’ll always lift your praise
And when the storm clouds gather
And my life is rearranged
I’ll lift my voice to heaven
And magnify your name

Will all my strength come back to me
So I can golf again
It’s doesn’t matter, Lord
I’ll praise your mighty name

Should this cancer not quite go away
And further treatment come
It doesn’t matter, Lord
I’ll still proclaim your love

Now, folks, don’t get me wrong
I’m believing God for all
For healing and deliverance
For financial windfall
For cancer to be gone
And me back to standing tall
There’s no doubt in my mind
That He will do it all

But my praise is not based
On what He does for me
My praise goes to Jesus
He is all I need
He is the King of Kings
And I can plainly see
That He deserves my praise
No matter what might be

I will worship Jesus
Until my dying breath
He’s my Lord forever
My songs will never end
His name is just so powerful
His mercy is so great
I’ll lift my hands and praise Him
For His amazing Grace

King Forever

It’s time to rise up on our feet
And sing the vist’ry song
Christ Jesus is the Lord of all
He makes us battle strong

Let’s give a loud ovation
And shout our words of praise
He is King forever
His worship we do raise

Hallelujah, Chris is King
Seated on the throne
Bless His holy, matchelss name
Now and evermore

My Christmas Gift

10 Replies

I searched for a gift this Christmas

A gift I could give to all

It would have to be inexpensive

And hopefully rather small

 

I shopped on the net for days

And nothing seemed quite right

So I went to some stores in the city

And I looked for several nights

 

But the perfect gift was elusive

Nothing I saw seemed to fit

I started to think it was hopeless

But then found the perfect gift

 

It was free to any who wanted

It was small, so I’d keep it in hand

It was easy to give out to others

I decided that this fit the plan

 

This gift didn’t need to be wrapped up

And it wasn’t some cute little toy

All I had to do was give it

The recipient would have much joy

 

I’m giving Jesus this Christmas

I’m telling my friends of His love

I’m sharing with them His salvation

And His mercy that rains from above

 

I’ll share with them the Christmas story

And the Easter story as well

They will hear how much He loves them

They’ll be touched by the story I tell

 

This gift will last them a lifetime

And they’ll live for eternity

Safe in the arms of the Savior

Forever they will be free

 

This Christmas give all a present

That will last for the rest of time

Give everyone Jesus

And give them the gift of life.

Gift Of Love

Leave a reply

It was anything but silent
In Bethlehem that day
The streets were full of travelers
Who finally found their way

A census had been called for
And the rules were very clear
Every man had to go back to
The tribal village through the years

Joseph lived in Nazareth
With Mary, full with child
They had to travel many days
And cover many miles

When they arrived in Bethlehem
There was no place to stay
They found a shelter for the night
In a stable filled with hay

The child was born next morning
In a manger he was laid
It seemed a normal birth to them
As the looked down at the babe

Then shepherds came and told them
Of an angel choir that night
That had come to them alone
They were fearful of the sight

The shepherds shared the words
That the angels had proclaimed
Peace on earth was come today
And goodwill to all of man

Mary smiled at hearing
The story that they told
For she knew this special child
Was the Son of God foretold

As the morning sun was rising
The baby slept in hay
Now the Son of God had come
His gift of love was here to stay

Is your heart prepared for Jesus
Have you made some room for Him
He wants to share His love with you
Oh won’t you ask Him in

Chosen Star

Leave a reply

I look up at the stars

And I see the Master’s plan

He placed them one by one

Before our time began

 

All down through the ages

Those stars have shown their light

Always in formation

To guide us in the night

 

Then one night, change was seen

One star was singled out

To shine much brighter than the rest

A loud celestial shout

 

Oh brightest star, Oh chosen star

You shine your glorious light

To lead us all to Christ the King

On this most Holy night

 

This star then found its special place

To shine those brighter rays

It took its place above a town

Where God’s own Son was laid

 

Three kings had seen the star so bright

From lands so far away

They came to bring gifts to the child

In a manger filled with hay

 

Gold, because He’s royalty

As priest, the Frankincense

Myrrh, anointing for His death

Which would be so intense

 

On brightest star, Oh chosen star

You shine your glorious light

To lead us all to Christ the King

On this most Holy night

The Reason

2 Replies

Shoppers are shopping

Mailmen are walking

Delivering gifts bought on line

Trees all are glimmering

Houses are shimmering

Lights hung to cheer us in time

 

Carols are ringing

Sleigh Bells are jingling

Songs of the season are here

Bright lights are glowing

Egg nog is flowing

All midst the words of good cheer

 

We all are running

From each day’s beginning

To celebrate Christmas each year

But how about stopping

Take time from shopping

And realize the reason where here

 

The star was a’shining

The cattle were lowing

When Mary gave birth to a son

Shepherds were praising

Sheep were there grazing

A Savior for all had now come

 

He went ‘round teaching

And gave many healing

His words filled the hearer with life

But leaders were seething

And they started pleading

To have Jesus crucified

 

He went through the suff’ring

And became the off’ring

For all of the sins of mankind

The grave not confining

He came out a’rising

Defeating death for all of time

 

This is the reason

For Christmas season

Let’s not forget why we sing

For this is God’s son

Who became the one

To save all of us from ours sin

 

So, I will sing praise

To His wonderful name

I will lift up my voice to the King

He’s always the same

And His love will remain

He has given to us everything

 

 

 

 

Forever Mine

Leave a reply

Life has it’s little ups and downs

As we go about our day

And often in our travels

We seem to lose our way

 

It’s nice to know that there’s a place

Where we come home to hide

From all the troubles that we face

A place where we abide

 

That place for me is Jesus

He is my hope secure

Whenever I need comfort

He’s there I can be sure

 

He said He’d never leave me

Or forsake me for all time

So I will rest in Him alone

He’ll be forever mine

Fulfilled Heart

The drugs I was abusing

The booze that I was drinking

The girls that I was kissing

Did not fill my spirit from the start

 

The money I was making

The laughter I was faking

But something still was missing

That would satisfy my longing heart

 

Then He came and saved me

Jesus Christ gave me His mercy

From my past sins I was set free

And I got a barnd new start

 

Now my life is filled with love

That was sent down from above

And joy and peace enough

To fulfill my grateful heart

To Tell

Leave a reply

Why do I write these words of mine
Words from my mind that come out in rhyme 
Why do I often take the time
To write down these words of mine

To tell of His love, His wonderful love
That came down from God,  our Father above
Born in a manger, that was enough
To tell of His wonderful love

To tell of the peace He has for you
That helps to sustain you in all you do
And lead you through trials that you’ll go through
To tell of His precious peace

To tell of the joy that bubbles inside 
No matter what life may ask you to hide
This joy overcomes every time you might slide 
To tell of unspeakable joy

To tell of His mercy so rich and free
For on that cross He pardoned me
Rose from the grave so with Him I’ll be
To tell of His marvelous mercy

To tell of His grace so abundant and vast 
To me He brings blessings that will always last 
He showers my life with a glorious blast 
To tell of amazing grace

To tell you that you can be saved today 
All you must do is call on His name 
And Jesus will came so you can give praise
To tell you that Jesus saves

Those are the reasons I write my rhymes 
I desire salvation for all of mankind
These blessings are yours if you’ll take the time
To ask Jesus Christ to abide.
