To Tell

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.

Where Is Yours?

Some people have possessions

Their money or their fame

They gather up their treasure

Here on earth to lift their name

But they don’t realize

That all that stuff is just a game

To keep them occupied

Until the final judgment day

 

There are those of us who store up

All our treasure up above

Where the Lord of all the heavens

Will protect it with His love

Our families and friends

And all the good deeds we have done

Will fill our treasure chest

Until the judgment day has come

 

On that day, one by one

We’ll be called before his throne

He will open up the book

To see who made Jesus their own

And if their name is written there

Then heaven is their home

And their treasure will be theirs

Forevermore

As I Wait

I cried out to God
In the midst of my need

And I prayed He would give me relief 
I asked Him for mercy 
And told Him my plea 
And then I began to believe

 

One day, then two days 
A week then passed by 
And I had not received a reply 
I went back to God 
And I asked Him what’s up
And He then spoke and told me why

 

It’s time to be still
And know I am God 
Your prayer will be answered on time
Until then you wait
And trust in my love 
The best timing is always mine.

 

I knew He was right 
As He always is 
So I summoned the patience He gives 
And my spirit raised up 
And praise filled my heart
So I lifted my worship to Him

 

Praise the Lord for His mercy 
Praise the Lord for His grace
Praise His mighty name with every breath 
All glory to Jesus 
My Savior divine 
Praise the Lord for His loving embrace

 

So now when a trial 
Comes into my life 
I lift up my voice in praise
For He is worthy
Every day
As I wait I will lift up His name

 

All glory to Jesus
My fortress and rock 
He’ll keep me safe in the storm 

And I’ll cling to Him

As I wait for His time

Safe and secure in His arms

He Outlasted Me

I fought against the Lord 

For many long years

Thinking He’d eventually give up

I did protest His wanting me

To give my life to Him

There were things I just did not want to give up
But He remained persistent 

And I learned I needed Him

Because my life was spinning out on control

So I finally called out

And I asked Him to come in

And I gave to Him complete control
Now I wonder why I protested 

My life is now complete 

And I have the blessed assurance of His love

His joy and peace are constant 

And His grace does cover me

And His mercy is abundant by His love

The Resting Place

I need to find a resting place

Where troubles will all cease

It seems the daily battles rage

And I can’t find His peace

 

I long to find a resting place

Where healing will be mine

It seems this worn out body

Gets sorer all the time

 

I hope to find a resting place

Where doubt is cast aside

Where faith is all that rules

My heart and soul and mind

 

I’m searching for a resting place

Where I can dwell in peace

I need a calm, assuring voice

To end my worried speech

 

And when the day is over

And my rhyme is almost done

A small voice whispers in my ear

And now I can rejoice

 

Jesus is the resting place

That I am longing for

In His arms your comfort waits

Come and make Him yours
He’ll heal you and deliver you

And peace will flood your soul

And soon you’ll find a quiet rest

That soothes and makes you whole

 

Come into the resting place

Where peace is all for you

Jesus is the resting place

He’s there awaiting you.

In The Midst of the Storm

In the midst of the storm
When the lightning flashes
The thunder claps
And the rain drop splashes
The wind is howling
The storm clouds rolling
I cry out to the Lord to rescue me
And He’s in the middle of the storm

God’s in the middle of the storm
He is there with you
When you’re overwhelmed
God’s in the middle of the storm
You don’t have to fear
He will be right there
To walk you through the storm

There are storms in my life

That rage deep within

And I often will struggle

Wondering if I will win

As my storms create turmoil

And my heart faints with fear

I can turn to my Savior

Because He’s always near.

 

God’s in the middle of the storm
He is there with you
When you’re overwhelmed
God’s in the middle of the storm
You don’t have to fear
He will be right there
To walk you through the storm.

 

So when the storm clouds gather

And you’re not sure what to do

Just turn your eyes n Jesus

He will see you through

Yes, he will see you through

 

God’s in the middle of the storm
He is there with you
When you’re overwhelmed
God’s in the middle of the storm
You don’t have to fear
He will be right there
To walk you through the storm.

 

Tell it Like It Is

Living in this world has it’s moments

When it seems everything goes wrong

As a Christian if I witness with my comments

Theres a chance I won’t be free for very long

 

Because the Bible says that sin is only covered

By the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

And when we accept ths Son and are converted

We must turn away from sin amd walk with God

 

If I dare proclaim that sin is sin to some

There are those who’d say I’m speaking out of hate

And they would love to make a martyr of me

Because they don’t want to leave their sinful ways

 

It matters not what they might do to harm me

My calling is to preach the word of God

So excuse me if I follow what He tells me

I would rather follow Him than man’s applause

The Songs of Christmas

Hear the songs of Christmas

Ringing in the air

Sounds that warm your heart

Meant for all to hear

 

Jingle Bells are jingling

Everywhere you go

Wishing Merry Christmas

To all who hear them toll

 

The First Noel has sounded

From choirs bringing cheer

Noel, Noel Born is the King

Is music to our ears

 

Precious songs of Christmas

Songs of warmth and cheer

Sung with all your heart

Every single year

 

And then a chorus fills the air

Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Voices of the highest praise

Glory to the newborn King

 

Oh, little town of Bethlehem

A town we’ve grown to love

Is visited by three wise men

Who saw the star above

 

Sing the tale of Christmas

With familiar lines

From children to our elders

Enjoying every rhyme

 

Away in lowly manger

No room was found for them

In hay they laid their baby

And there His tale begins

 

Silent Night, Holy Night

When Jesus Christ was born

The songs of His appearing

Are songs that bring us joy

 

Joy to the World

Jesus Christ has come

Born to die for all mankind

Praise the Holy One

 

Sing the songs of Christmas

Lift your praise above

Sing with all your heart

Songs we know and love

In a Flash

One day it’s going to happen

And it’s too far away

Jesus Christ will split the Eastern sky

And all have accepted Him

As Lord of all their lives

Will vanish as from earth they take their flight

 

Imagine all the chaos

That will happen on that day

When millions will be gone iin just a flash

If you don’t want to stay behind

Ask Jesus to come in

And you will rise with us because you asked

 

 

 

In respone to the daily prompt Vanish

I Love The Name

I love to come into His house
And lift my voice in praise
Raise my hands up high
And lift His holy name

Jesus, name above all names 
Jesus, worthy of my praise
Jesus,  let my lips proclaim 
I love the name of Jesus

My voice will lift His mighty name
Each day I am alive
Loud Hosannas ring
His spirit testifies

Jesus, He’s the King of Kings 
Jesus, He’s the Lord of Lords 
Jesus, blessed forevermore 
I love the name of Jesus

My hands are raised to heav’n above 
I offer Him my life 
I want to be with Him
For all the rest of time

Jesus, every knee shall bow 
Jesus, sovereign Lord of all
Jesus, reigning over all
I love the name of Jesus

His name can move the mountains 
His name can calm the sea
His name can heal our sickness
And wipe out all disease
His name can wash our sins away 
His name can set us free
His name can fill our hearts desire
Supply all of our needs

Jesus, gave us His great love 
Jesus, His name is enough
Jesus, let my voice lift up
I love the name
The wondrous name
I love the name
of Jesus.
