No Filter Now!

I’ve always enjoyed a cup of coffee

When I rise up in the morn

It used to be I would percolate it

But now Mr Coffee’s the norm

 

I used to percolate things of God

I’d filter out what I opposed

That left me wondering if God was real

Or if he was just a big hoax

 

But then I met Jesus one fateful day

And my whole attitude was changed

Now I take in the whole word of God

And I’ll never be the same

 

 

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Percolate

Divine Blessings

What if I was to tell you that joy could be yours 
Unspeakable joy ever day
No matter what trials and tests come along 
This joy never goes away

 

What if I was to tell you that peace could be yours
A peace the world can’t understand
Instead of the worry you now dwell upon
This peace is at your command

 

These blessings and more can be yours
Divine blessings from God up above
If you’ll call on His Son
And accept He’s the one
Who redeemed you from sin with His blood.

 

What if I was to tell you that hope could be yours
A hope everlasting and sure
Instead of wondering what tomorrow may bring 
This hope will always endure.

 

What if I was to tell you that healing was yours
From all of your aches and pains
When your body is hurting and nothing will help
This healing will sooth your complaint

 

His power to forgive

His mercy that gives

His grace everlasting and true

All these are His gifts

And they are yours if

You accept that He died for you

 

What if I was to tell you that love could be yours

A love that defies human thought

This love reaches down to the depth of your soul

It’s a love that can never be bought

 

These blessings and more can be yours
Divine blessings from God up above
If you’ll call on His Son
And accept He’s the one
Who redeemed you from sin with His blood.

I Was A Righteous Dude!

I used to be called righteous

Because I was really cool

I was oft called a righteous dude

As I walked through my school

But then I learned my righteousness

Was filthy rags so gross

So I gave my life to Jesus

And He washed me white as snow

Now I walk each day with Jesus

He calls me His son

And He gives me His righteousness

I’m so glad I  found His love

In response to the daily prompt Filthy

Sweet Jesus

Isn’t He amazing
Isn’t He wonderful
Isn’t He marvelous
Jesus

 

Isn’t He glorious
Isn’t He magnificent
Isn’t He delightful
Jesus

 

More than I imagined
More than I could see
More than I can fathom
Is His love for me

 

Isn’t He graceful
Isn’t He merciful
Isn’t He peaceful
Jesus

 

Isn’t He my healer

Isn’t He deliverer

Isn’t He Savior

Jesus

 

More than I imagined
More than I could see
More than I can fathom
Is His love for me

 

Like no other name

High above all

Worthy of praise

His name we call

Power and dominion

Unto His name

Jesus, sweet Jesus

 

Glory and honor

Offered to Him

Holy of Holies

He enters in

Gives His own life

A ransom for all

Jesus, sweet Jesus

 

Isn’t He King of Kings

Isn’t He Lord of Lords

Isn’t He Emmanuel

Jesus

 

Isn’t He the crucified one

Isn’t He the Lamb on the throne

Isn’t He our risen Lord

Jesus

 

More than I imagined
More than I could see
More than I can fathom
Is His love for me

Jesus, sweet Jesus

Jesus, sweet Jesus

He Holds My Heart

I love to just bite in

To a pastry filled with sweet

It makes my face to smile

Oh, a tart is such a treat.

 

But better yet is Jesus

The sweeest name I know

He fills me with His Spirt

My heart is all aglow

 

We all have a choice today

Between Jesus and a tart

I choose Jesus every time

Because Jesus holds my heart

My Warrior King

He comes riding on the clouds

Dressed in brilliant white

His robes flow free behind Him

As He breaks upon my sight

 

With crowns upon His head

Flames of fire in His eyes

The Word of God rides in

As a warrior in the skies

 

He is the King Almighty

Faithful and True

Coming in the last day

To rescue me and you

 

His armies ride behind Him

Clothed in robes of white

Their horses match the color

As they gallop with the Light

 

On His thigh, His name is written

King of Kings and Lord of Lords

A sharp sword in His mouth

To smite the nations with His word

 

He is the King Almighty

Faithful and True

Coming in the last day

To rescue me and you

 

An angel cried through heaven

Come and gather for the feast

And the birds all came to answer

Time to rid earth of the beast

 

The feast was set before them

Kings and armies of the earth

The battle waged and finished

The King of Kings the victory earned

 

He is the King Almighty

Faithful and True

Coming in the last day

To rescue me and you

 

His name is high above

Every other name or sound

Jesus is the Lord of all

He wears the royal crown

 

I’ll sing His praise forever

My mighty warrior King

He fights my battles for me

He rules o’er everything

A New Catch

When I was a kid, the water

Was one place I liked to play

Catching bullfrogs, skippping rocks

Was how we spect our day

 

And one more thing consumed our time

And sent us ’round the town

The thirll of catching one big fish

That I could call my own.

 

Iit wasn’t easy work too do

Those fish would fight real hard

To be quite honest, I was not

A fishermann at heart..

 

So fishing is a memory

That I don’t live today

The thought of stannding, waiting

Just doesn’t make my day.

 

However there’s anothe kind

Of fishing that I know

This kind is something I  can do

Wherever I might go

 

Jesus came to save me

And to set me free indeed

But He alos had a plan for me

To help find those in need.

 

He said I’d be a fisherman

The lost would be the catch

So now I fish ’bout every day

And hope someone to bless

 

 

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Fish

Don’t Get Burned

I love to camp in the summer

And cook on the open flames

The food is so delightful

When we cook that way

 

Once in a while I’ll slip up

And get too close to the fire

I feel the heat on my hand

And I know that’s not my desire

 

I just can’t imagine the suffering

Of eternity spent in Hell

The heat of those flames unceasing

For all who who missed Christ and fell

 

So today put your trust in Jesus

And ask Him into your heart

Avoid the flames of that fire

And make a brand new start

What A Friend

What a friend, an awesome friend

He’s with me all my life

He promised He won’t leave me

Or forsake me for all time

 

We have in Jesus, wonderful Jesus

Came to earth, God’s only Son

Gave His life, His precious life

Now the victory has won

 

All our sins, every one

Are washed as white as snow

Now I walk free and complete

Each day He shows me how

 

And griefs to bear, h\He gives me peace

And joy has filled me heart

His blessings overwhelm me

They flow when day does start

 

What a privilege, an awesome right

Has mercy will always be

It’s amazing I can approach Him

King of Kings and Lord to me

 

To carry. bring to Him

As He’s seated on His throne

Up in heaven, ruling all

The universe is His alone

 

Everything, every little thing

All my worries and my doubts

When I give them all to Him

I can know He cares about

 

To God in prayer, heartfelt prayer

To the King of Kings on high

He hears every word I pray

And He answers in His time

 

Oh, what peace we often forfeit

There’s no need be distressed

When we call out to the Savior

He will always give His best
Oh, what needless pain we bear

There’s no need for suffering

When we cry in heart felt worship

He will come and mercy bring

All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

I’m Not Into That!

I’m not really into digital

Or even much on vegetal

They just seem to leave my mind at such a loss

But I am into Jesus Christ my Lord

For He is the one that I adore

He freed me from sin forever at such a cost

For He gave His life at Calvary

To make away for you and me

To share in His soul salvation for all time

So please won’t you ask Him in today

He’ll hear you when you humbly pray

And you will make heaven yours with eternal life
