Beauty of Creation

Beauty On Display

I love to see a rainbow
Draped across the sky
It’s beauty overwhelms me
It’s colors fill my eye

I love to see the colors
That sunset brings each day
I dare not miss a moment
As colors often change

It always fascinates me
To think about the fact
That white light is all colors
While crayons mixed turn black

The first thing God created
Was Light with all it’s hues
Monochromatic boredom
Has never been God’s view

He wanted us to enjoy
The beauty that He made
So Light became all colors
Their beauty on display

Fake News

This world is full of guessing
What the truth is and is not
The news around the world
Seems often to be bought

Two sides that can’t agree
On what course they should take
Makes for a lot of wordplay
That makes the truth seem fake

There’s one thing that I know
Will always speak the truth
That is the Holy Bible
God’s Word to me and you

It tells me Jesus came earth
And gave His life away
A sacrifice for all my sins
So He could make a way

No oversimplification
Is in these words today
If you will ask forgiveness
You too will find the way

His way is to eternal life
With Peace and joy for you
The fake news that appears down here
Gives way to God’s good news

Face to Face

I reach out to my friends
Through social media lines
Facebook Twitter Instagram
All will work just fine

It seems we talk of subjects
From politics to pets
We find a common element
That gives us cause to vent

This method to connect
I feel is used too much
How often do I reach out
To feel a good friends touch

Those face to face encounters
Get rarer all the time
I need to get much better
And connect with them offline

What Glorious Things

If i could see the future what would my eyes perceive
I’d likely see much more than my mind could now conceive
If i could know what’s planned for all of us who do believe
What glorious things I’d witness on that day

I’d see a band of elders gathered round the throne of God
Cherubim and Seraphim would fill the sky aloft
Singing holy holy holy with their voices sounding loud
What glorious songs I’d sing with them that day

I’d see the Lamb of God who gave His life to save my soul
He’s the only one that’s worthy to open heavens scrolls
The worship choir praises Him and loud hosannas roll
What glorious things I’d hear them sing that day

I’d see the vials and the scrolls pronounce the wrath of God
I’d hear the trumpets sound aloud from angels in the clouds
I’d see the beast be lifted up and worshipped from the crowd
What glorious truth I’d know He’d do that day

I’d see Him riding a white horse His countenance so bright
He’s leading heaven’s army to a victory in the fight
I’d see the supper of the lamb prepared for birds of prey
What a glorious triumph I would see that day

I’d see the lake of fire and the beast be thrown within
I’d smell brimstone and ashes as he plunged to death from sin
I’d see the saints of God whose name the book contains
What glorious things He’d have for us that day

I’d see the new Jerusalem descending from above
I’d see the streets of gold and gates of pearl be opened up
I’d see the healing of the lands because of His great love
What glorious things await us on that day

Most of all I’d see my Savior Lamb of God is He
I’d see the one who came to earth and gave His life for me
I know these visions are the way the future’s meant to be
What glorious things He has in store that day

If you don’t know my Jesus and haven’t made Him Lord
The time is now my friend He should not be ignored
Cry out to Him for mercy he will here your cry and more
What glorious things your life will know that day

 

No Other God

He spoke and there was light
He made the heaven and earth
His voice brought forth the plants
Creation heeds His word
The animals were next
He made them every one
Then man was formed by Him
Beginning then was done

There is no other God like Him
There is no other God like Him
Beginning and the end
All was made by Him
There is no other God like Him

His mercy is so evident
His grace is ever free
He fills us with His joy
He keeps our souls at peace
He understands our sorrows
He feels our deepest pain
When our lives take a fall
He picks us up again

There is no other God like Him
There is no other God like Him
Beginning and the end
All was made by Him
There is no other God like Him

When I have doubts
When I have fears
His loving hand
Will wipe my tears
When I am lost
When I’m alone
His voice will say
I am His own

There is no other God like Him
There is no other God like Him
Beginning and the end
All was made by Him
There is no other God like Him

Meet Bandit

We have a brand new puppy
My wife and I are thrilled
He likes to go on bike rides
My basket he does fill
We get a lot of comments
While riding down the street
That he is so adorable
From his ears down to his feet

His love is unconditional
He’s glad he’s here to stay
He wants to come up in my lap
To pet him makes His day
And then when he gets anxious
He lets me know it’s time
Then playtime comes along
He fetches things real fine

My Savior has a love like that
He’ll never let me down
He’s always there for me
He calls me as His own
When I look up to Him
He holds me in His arms
Providing everything I need
He keeps me safe and warm

Through the Muck

It’s easy to be calm and cool when things are going right
My mind seems so much clearer and my outlook seems so bright
Every thought and every action comes out shining in the light
My day becomes a breeze that soothes my soul

I’m glad that I can say this verse describes most of my days
There is no sign of conniption as I go about my ways
When offenses come against me I just do what Jesus says
Shake the dust off of my feet when tales are told

When we follow Jesus there’s no place to hold a grudge
Forgiveness should be foremost as through the muck we trudge
We should never think we have a right to be another‘s judge
Just take the high road when the gossip rolls

Keep your mind on things that bring good thoughts and stay away from bad
Do not say a word that hurts someone but strive to make them glad
When trouble comes about you keep yourself cool and relaxed
No worry should prevent you from this goal

Promise Kept

Rain is falling heavily
Has been all night long
Raindrops in the puddles
Make a merry song

Wind is whipping loudly
Rustling the leaves
Birds are huddled closely
Covered in the tree

Suddenly I hear a chirp
Sounding in my yard
Then I hear some others
Listening real hard

Looking out my wind
Cerulean skies appear
Clouds are rolling back
Sun is shining clear

Rain still falling gently
I look to the east
Rainbow casts its splendor
Bringing with it peace

God had made a promise
Many years ago
He’ll never flood the earth again
Like in the days of Noah

I look at to the rainbow
And thank God for the rain
I thank Him for the sunshine
His promise kept again

Let it Rain

I am tired
I am worn
I am weak
I am torn
Holy Spirit
Come and fill my cup today

I am empty
I am dry
I am running
Out of time
Holy Spirit
Come and quench this thirst of mine

Let it rain
Let It rain
Let the Holy Ghost rain down on me
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let the Holy Ghost rain down on me

I an hear a distant thunder
Drawing closer
Sounding louder
I can smell the rain approaching
Rain on me
Rain on me

Let it rain
Let It rain
Let the Holy Ghost rain down on me
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let the Holy Ghost rain down on me

The Good Life

It’s just a fact of life
We think we know it all
We have it figured out
Why question it at all

After this life’s done
There’s not much more for me
I might as well have fun
For this is all there’ll be

That misses one big question
That can’t escape my mind
Why are we here at all
Why is there a mankind

When I truly think about it
One basic truth comes out
We were put here on this earth
To help one another out

We’re not here for ourselves
How pointless that would be
We’re here to lift each other
And live in harmony

Let’s stop all the confusion
That comes when it’s just me
Let’s put the other first
How good would life then be
