The Flow

2 Replies

There is a fountain of life

That flows from Calvary’s tree

It comes from God above

And washes over me

But when it hits my heart

It’s not for me to hold

I have an obligation

That others must be told

There is a river of hope

That tells me heaven’s my home

There is no doubt of where

I’ll rest when life is o’er

This hope should flow through me

To others that I know

For I am just a vehicle

To bring friends into the fold

There is a stream of joy

That flows throughout my heart

It reminds me of the blessings

He does to me impart

These blessings are for everyone

Who call upon His name

So I must share this joy

By giving Him all praise

There is a flood of peace

That keeps me safe and warm

It flows from knowing God

Is always on the throne

My friends all need this peace

In this chaotic world

So I must let it flow through me

To touch and make them whole

And last there is His love

That flows eternally

It reaches out to everyone

No matter what they be

I must tell all I come to know

Of this great love divine

So the love, joy, peace, hope, life He brings

Will not just stay as mine

Accepted

When I first came to Jesus

I just did not know

If He would take me as I was

Or say I’d have to go

My life was a disaster

I’d been a mess for years

And when I learned my fate was hell

I burst out into tears

I couldn’t understand

How He could still love me

Because I’d done so many things

To shun His great mercy

Drinking, drugs and lust galore

Filled my thoughts each day

I figured there was no way out

I’d truly lost my way

But then a good friend told me

Of His amazing grace

That He had taken all my sins

And died to take my place

Now all I had to do

Was accept His sacrifice

So when I asked Him in my heart

He’d fill me with new life

I figured why not try it

I had nothing to lose

The thought of hell forever

Had me shaking in my boots

So I knelt down at the alter

And I asked Him to come in

And I felt a stirring in my soul

Like a rushing, mighty wind

From that day forth my life has changed

Now heaven Is my home

And life on earth is so much more

Of joy and peace and hope

I know deep in my heart

That Jesus loves me so

And now that He accepted me

There’s something you should know

He loves you right where you are

With a love that never dies

He wants to have you as His own

He wants to change your life

So don’t wait until your ready

Just cry out to Him today

And you will be accepted

Your sins He’ll wipe away

Knowing His Love

It’s not hard to explain

The love I have inside

For Jesus Christ my Lord

The one they crucified

He took away my sin

The day he bled and died

And when He rose again

He gave eternal life

His love fills me with joy

And that abundantly

This joy that lasts all day

And always comforts me

No circumstance can change

This joy that’s deep in me

It bubbles out in love

For all the world to see

His peace is always there

To brighten up my day

It keeps me safe and sound

Wherever I may stray

I never have to worry

When trials come my way

Because His peace is there

It gives me strength to pray

I’ll never lose the hope

Of heaven that’s ahead

My future is secure

I will not fear or dread

When all of life is gone

And to most I will be dead

My hope has made a mansion

Where I will rest my head

This poem could go on

For days and even years

Listing all the ways

His love is oh so dear

And all the benefits

He whispers in my ear

My prayer is that you’ll come to know

The love this poem shares
