I used to be running scared all the time

That hell was awaiting me

I’d finally taken a look at myself

And realized I wasn’t free

This spiriitual evaluation

Then brought me to my knees

And I prayed a prayer to Jesus

And asked Him to forgive me

 

He did for me just as I asked

Then He made a change by decree

He just rearranged a few letters

To make scared into sacred for me

My life now is totally different

It’s a wonder that He set me free

So now I willl live for my Savior

And through Him, how sacred I’ll be!

The Right Words

I hardly know what to write

When I sit down at my keyboard

My own words just don’t seem to carry

The message that comes from my Lord

 

So I do all I can to block out

My own thoughts and words for my rhyme

And I turn to the Holy Spirit

To construct my posts one at a time

The King Eternal

Leave a reply

He started in a manger filled with hay 
At death borrowed tomb is where He lay
He never owned a home
In ministry He roamed
Teaching of the truth, the life, the way.

 

He was the King who came to die

A minister of light and life

The masses followed Him

He eased their suffering

And told them words that opened up their eyes

 

He is the King eternal

The everlasting God

The mighty creator

The one who reigns above

His victory is forever

He shed his precious blood

He died for you and me

So we could know His love

 

The leaders of the day were mad

The words He shared they thought were bad

They sought to take His life

Against Him the conspired

They turned the crowd against Him and were glad

 

This King was beaten mercilessly

He carried His cross to Calvary

His feet and hands were nailed

The soldiers had prevailed

They crucified Him there upon that tree

 

The borrowed tomb became His grave

The guards had sealed the tomb and stayed

But death could not hold Him

Over the grave, He wins

Now eternal life is mine always

 

He is the King eternal

The everlasting God

The mighty creator

The one who reigns above

His victory is forever

He shed his precious blood

He died for you and me

Which Do You Choose?

Some people quote Confucius

Or Plato  or Gandhi

Others look at stars and think

They need astrology

 

I prefer the words of Jesus

They echo down through time

Not only are they full of truth

They also changed my life

 

For I was once a sinful  man

Who did a whole lot wrong

But Jesus took my sin away

So now I sing His song

 

It is amazing how just words

Can make a difference

I pray that my words echo down

And touch my grand children

Let’s Worship

Leave a reply

I’ll clap my hands

I’ll lift my voice

I’ll shout His praise

And I’ll rejoice

The King of Kings

Salvation brings

Let’s worship Him today

 

He bore the price

For all my sin

So I would have

A way to win

His grace did reign

That fateful day

As on the cross

My debt He paid

 

He did not balk

He did not fail

He took the whip

He took the nails

He walked the road

He bore His cross

He gave His all

At such a cost

 

They buried  Him

In borrowed tomb

They sealed it tight

A darkened room

The stone rolled back

The soldiers slept

He rose again

His promise kept

 

And now He stands

By Father God

He prays for me

He watches out

His love for all

Reached out to me

Now heaven’s home

Eternally

 

I’ll clap my hands

I’ll lift my voice

I’ll shout His praise

And I’ll rejoice

The King of Kings

Salvation brings

Let’s worship Him today

 

Praise to Jesus

Praise on high

Lift your voice

Unto the sky

Shout His praise

Oh, shout and sing

Loud Hosannas

To the King

Beneath the Light

The stars shine so brightly at night

They really are quite a sight

I love when they twinkle

My heart feels a sprinkle

Of joy as I watch in delight

 

Yet as soon as the sun shows it’s face

The stars are all faded away

And though they’re still there

Way up in the air

They seem to be gone out of space

 

When Jesus came into my life

I faded beneath His pure light

Jesus shines through

In all that I do

I pray that His ligt outshines mine

Amazing Love

Leave a reply

I came running to my Lord today
I had Jesus on my mind
He wrapped His arms around me
And He said “My son, your mine”

A calming reassurance
Flooded through me from above
As He held me close beside Him
I could feel His awesome love

Love that overlooks my faults
Love that conquers all
Love that washes sin away
Love that hears my call

His love is amazing
It is with me everyday
I’m not sure what I would do
Without His love today

I found that I was lost again
And couldn’t find my way
Somehow, I’d walked away from Him
So I knelt down to pray

I asked Him to draw close to me
And soon I felt Him near
His tenderness surrounded me
And wiped out all my fear

Love that wipes away my fears
Love that calms my heart
Love that tells me I’m okay
Love that never parts

His love is amazing
It’s always there for me
Even when I’ve lost my way
He fills my deepest need

This time I stayed real close to Him
I did not want to leave
He told me that He loved me
And He’d always be with me

Now I must go tell others
About His wondrous love
So they can know the Savior too
And be blessed by God above

Love that took Him to the cross
Love that gave His life
Love that washed away my sin
Love that came to die

His love is amazing
He gave His life for me
And rose again so I could be
With Him eternally

I’ll shout about this wondrous love
As long as I have breath
For He has given everything
From birth until His death

I will sing His praises
Everywhere I go
For He is Lord of all the earth
And everyone should know

His love is amazing
His love conquers sin
His love is for everyone
His love always wins

His love gives and gives some more
Until the day is done
No one can out give His love
No, not anyone

When to Wake?

Leave a reply

Today;s Daily Post challenge was One, Two, Three!  I decided to take the last three days and do a short limerick for each one.  I hope this satisfies the requirement

Two days ago sleep was real easy

I woke up to sun shining through

I couldn’t believe

That late I did sleep

I was happy I’d finally slept through

earl-morniing-dark

Yesterday I woke up real early

Couldn’t go back to sleep

So I got in my chair

At computer I stared

Until I was fast asleep

one-light

I woke up this morning in darkness

One light on in the house

So I went back to bed

And I laid down my head

Never even waking a mouse

It’s All About Your Heart

2 Replies

I watch the news each morning

And what do I often see

Our cullture seems to be amidst a change

So many feel their slighted

And the balance is not fair

They think the way their treated is quite strange

 

I have news for each of them

Who feel entitlement

To have their own way be the way of life

It wonlt make any difference

What laws are put in placed

Unless you work to make your heart just right

 

The only way to change a heart

Is to give yourself to God

Let Him repair that broken heart with love

Jesus died uopn that cross

To take your sin away

You will find His grace is quite enough

 

So stop the demonstrations

And the murders and the hate

Let’s bring out culture back to moral ground

The heart is all that needs to change

To make our country great again

Today’s the day to let His love abound

Chasing The Blues

Leave a reply

Sometimes I just don’t feel like

Lifting up my voice in praise

My mood is down and dreary

And My hands don’t want to raise

There’s  no joy in my heart

My peace has been disturbed

I just want to jump back into bed

Where my moans will not be heard

 

But something deep within me

Starts to stir my spirit ‘round

And from somewhere in my being

A song begins to sound

It’s not a song of mourning

Or of grief or deep despair

But it’s a song of praise

That struggles to find air

 

Hallelujah, He is Lord

He rules the heaven and earth

Hallelujah, He is Lord

I’ll praise His matchless worth

I’ll sing a song of worship

As I lift my voice to Him

Hallelujah, He is Lord

To Him my praise I bring

 

Now I feel much better

My mood has turned around

I feel the peace of God

Praise fills my heart with sound

It’s the sound of heaven’s angels

As they praise the Lord with me

I’m no longer down and dreary

My spirit’s been set free

 

The lesson here today

Is that moods can be erased

Just open up and praise Him

And your blues will leave when chased

Your heart is ready always

To lift His holy name

So, prepare yourself for worship

Let’s lift up Jesus Name!

 

Hallelujah, He is Lord

He rules the heaven and earth

Hallelujah, He is Lord

I’ll praise His matchless worth

I’ll sing a song of worship

As I lift my voice to Him

Hallelujah, He is Lord

To Him my praise I bring
