I used to be clumsy with speech
I’d juggle and mess up my words
I liked to talk
And I wouldn’t balk
At saying things really absurd
I joined a group called Toastmasters
They taught me to speak really well
I now had a voice
And made the right choice
Of which words to use – it is swell!
Now I can speak so much smoother
I can share what’s important to me
The Lord Jesus Christ
Has transformed my life
And He wants to set you free!
In response to the daily prompt Clumsy
All to thee, my Savior
All to thee I give
I will lift my praise to you
As long as I shall live
All for you, my Savior
All my works for you
Everything I do on earth
Your glory will show through
All you ask, my Savior
All you ask of me
I will listen closely
Your voice is what I seek
And when the day is done
When the sun has gone to rest
I will lift my voice in song
So God will be most blessed
I’ll sing Hallelujah, Praise Him
Lift Hosannas to the sky
Praise and adoration
To the Lord most high
I’ll sing Holy is the Lord of Hosts
He’s the King of Kings
Glory to the Lamb of God
Lord of Everything
All my praise to you Lord
All my praise I give
I will worship you, my God
As long as I shall live
I remember when my kids were young
I’d make promises so fast
And the my work would swallow me
And the promise would not last
They’d get all disappointed
And they remembered every line
So when it came to teenage years
It was hard to get their time
God made His promises to us
And wrote them in His book
He always keeps those promises
We just have to take a look
So open up your bible now
And see what He has said
There’s a promise there for you today
And It will come true today.
In response to the daily prompt Promises
One day every knee will bow
In heaven and in earth
And every tongue will confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
It matters not what they believed
While living on this earth
They must acknowledge He is Lord
For all the world to see
And those who served Him here below
Will then a mansion gain
But those who chose another road
A fire awaits them
As for me I’ll sing His praise
As long as I have breath
For He’s the one who gave His life
So I’d be free from sin
Oh, the great, great love of God
Who sent His only Son
To die and take my sin away
And rose to give me life
Oh the great. Great love of God
Who looks down from above
And helps me every day I live
To grow in grace and truth
I’ll lift my praise Hosanna
Glory to the King
Highest Hallelujahs
Praise His mighty name
Praise and adoration
To Jesus Christ my Lord
Worthy of my highest praise
Now and evermore.
You travel through life a day at a time
Trying to find your way
It seems you are not getting anywhere fast
As you tackle life every day
Then you meet Jesus, and you ask Him to com
Into your heart to stay
And now you feel there’s a purpose to life
So you start to ask as you pray.
Lord, why have I had so many hurts
And difficult times in my life
Why have I faced such a series of tests
That have brought me a good deal of strife
And God answers back that now you’re prepared
To help others with things in their life
Because your an original, one of a kind
But what you have learned helps mankind
So get out and share your experiences
And see who wil heed your call
What you have gone through will help many come
And answer the Masters call
In response to the daily prompt Original
Pride is the enemies most valuable weapon
Pride is the way he maintains his possession
Whenever I get tied up inside of myself
Pride convinces me I’m okay.
Pride will take me to heights of elation
Pride will send me to the depths of depression
Whenever I get tied up inside my own self
Pride convinces me I must stay.
Pride is the enemy of God in our hearts
Pride is the first thing that has to depart
Whatever it takes to get out of myself
Pride must be left in the past
Because to come to God we must acknowledge our sins
We must ask His forgiveness and grace
We must bow down before Him and say He is Lord
Then, and only then, we’ll be saved
Then we will know of His ultimate love
Then we will know that He rules from above
Then we will know that He that He wants to know us
In the very depths of our hearts
And if we humble ourselves before God on that day
We will taste of His marvelous, wonderful grace
We will start to feel love as the pride we erase
And allow His meek Spirit to thrive
So won’t you please recognize all of the pride
That you’ve bottled up way down deep inside
And bow on your knee and lay it aside
And be humbled before your God?
I used to never be careful
About what I said or did
I just had fun and I partied
And most of my life was hid
But then I made Jesus my Savior
And He asked much more of me
He asked me to be His disciple
And live a life for His glory
So I put aside all of the parties
And I watched every word that I said
I wanted to glorify Jesus
And not bring reproach to His name
Now I know it’s hard to be perfect
In all that we say and do
So I will proceed with caution
As I witness to all the world
In response to the daily prompt Careful
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 alt for you
Jesus is the resting place
He’s there awaiting you.
I just woke up this morning
The sleep is still in my eyes
I opened up my computer
That’s when I realized
I had to write out this poem
And not give it any disguise
Because no one can say I’m a fool
I have Jesus, and He makes me wise
Some would start up an argument
Others would question why
Why do you say He’s the only way
To get to the other side?
The answer is really quite simple
It’s because He can not lie
He says no one comes to the Father
Except through His sacrifice.
I will trust Him forever
Because He has shown me grace
And one day that is very soon
I will finally look on His face
Won;t you believe His word today
And ask Him your sins to erase?
If you call on Him He will save you
And you’ll feel His loving embrace
In response to the daily prompt Argument
I’m tired of the doubt that’s within me
That is welling up deep down inside
I want to have faith like a mustard seed
So I’ll know that this pain will subside
I’m tired of feeling this weakness
That my treatments have brought about
I want to have strength like an eagle
So I can His praises shout
I’m tired of being all cooped up
Inside my nice little home
I want to get out and be strong again
So once again I can roam
But I trust the Lord in all things
And I know He will bring me through
Right now the low point of my life
But soon He will miracles do
Until that day I’m delivered
From the weakness I currently have
I still will not cease to praise Him
For He is my refuge that lasts
So I will sing Hallelujah
Praise God from the depths of my heart
He is my Lord forever
From Him I will never depart
Oh what a wonderful Savior
He’s always right here with me
Oh what an awesome creator
He supplies all of my needs
I’ll always trust in His mercy
I’ll always lean on His grace
Until that wonderful, glorious day
That look upon His face.
The Psalmist
