Are You Finished?

sowing-gospel-seeds

 

Are you finished telling me that you don’t want to hear

About the love of Jesus, the friend I love so dear?

How He died to take your place so that you won;t have to fear

Where you will up up for eternity?

 

Well, I’m sorry, but I really have to ignore your request

Because i am unfinished in showing how your blessed

So I will keep on planting seeds whenever I assess

That you need Jesus just as much as me

 

He died for you, and took your sin

He provided peace and joy within

And one day you can enter in

To heaven’s wondrous doors

 

So won’t you come to him today

And He will wipe your sin away

He’ll brighten up your darkest day

With His wondrous love

 

 

In response to the daily prompt Unfinished

The Songs of Heaven

Isaiah saw the seraphims

Flying ‘round the throne

In the year that King Uzziah died

They were shouting highest praise

As the flew with all their might

And the posts and doors moved as they cried

 

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

 

John saw four beasts in Heaven

Appear before the throne

The likes of which were clear for Him to see

One like a Lion, one a calf,

Then a man and last a flying eagle

Singing night and day these words of praise

 

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

John saw four and twenty seats

Gathered ‘round the throne

Four and twenty elders came along

Clothed in white they gathered

Crowns of gold upon their heads

They bowed before the throne and sang their song

 

Thou art worthy, oh Lord

To receive glory and honor and power;

For thou hast created all things,

And for thy pleasure they are and were created

 

Then he saw the four beasts gather

With the elders ‘round the throne

As the lamb of God appeared in majesty

They were looking for the one

Who could open up the book

And only He could bear the task, so they start to sing

 

Thou art worthy to take the book,

And to open the seals thereof:

For thou wast slain,

And hast redeemed us to God by thy blood

Out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:

And we shall reign on the earth.

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

Then I saw the angels gather

With the beasts and elders there

Around the Lamb who sat upon the throne

And the number of them grew

Ten thousand times ten thousand

As they sang aloud the praises of my Lord

 

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

To receive power, and riches, and wisdom,

And strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

 

And every creature up in heaven,

And here upon the earth,

And even those who dwell under the earth,

And all the creatures of the sea,

Lift up their voice on high,

Their praises to our Lord and King

 

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

More Than Enough

My God is mercy
More than enough
To wipe away all of my sin
He gave His own Son
To die in my place
So I could have peace deep within

My God is grace
Amazing and True
He places His Spirit in me
Each day He guides me
Into His truth
As I grow to what I’m made to be

He’s more than enough

More than enough

More than enough for me

And when I lay down

To sleep, I have found

His peace washes over me

 

My God is love

Compassion abounds

He loved me before I knew Him

And each day he sends

This wonderful love

Into my heart once again

 

My God is holy

Purer than gold

His holiness Is what I yearn

He calls me to be

As holy as He

He is patient and kind as I learn

 

He’s more than enough

More than enough

More than enough for me

And when I lay down

To sleep, I have found

His peace washes over me

 

My God is faithful

Day after day

He’s always right there by my side

When I call on Him

He hears every word

And answers when it’s His time

 

All of these things

My God is to me

He says that’s how I ought to be

I must spread the word

Of my wonderful God

To all that He brings close to me

Lost

I long to be broken before my God

Poured out and empty inside

Because when I have lost all of myself

His spirit will transform my life

 

I long to be humbled by His patient hand

To lose all myself and my pride

Because when I have lost all me selfishness

His spirit will transform my life

 

I long to be lost

Lost to myself

Lost in His love divine

For when I am weak

He makes me strong

And I grow in Him every time.

 

I long to be led ever day just by Him

Not by my own selfish pride

Because when I yield up my will to His

His spirt will transform my life

 

He’ll carry me through every trial

He’ll lead me through every hard test

And then, in the end, I will know

He has always done what is best

 

I long to be lost

Lost to myself

Lost in His love divine

For when I am weak

He makes me strong

And I grow in Him every time.

Stay Calm

Image result for calm

I see a lot of people

Who panic at the news

That fills our ears and eyes most every day

It seems the world’s in chaos

And nothing  comes out right

Killings, bombings, protests are the way

 

But I know a secret

To rid myself of fear

And every time it works just like a charm

I simply trust in Jesus

And He fills me with peace

He says He’ll always hold me inHis arms

 

So when you’re feeling panicked

And your trouble way to much

Why not turn to Jesus Christ for peace

He always is the answer

And He will never fail

To calm your soul and fear will be released

 

In response to trhe daily prompt Panic

More Than Enough

This one thing I know

Is that God always bestows

His gifts to all of those

Who love His son

The list s oh so long

Of gifts that now belong

To those who now belong

To Jesus Christ, God’s son

 

His love and His forgiveness

His joy and His sweet peace

His mercy and His grace

His hope and healing too

His deliverance and love

His Spirit and Eternal Life

The list goes on and on

Because He’s generous to us

 

He gives more than enough

To show us His strong love

He’ll always be right there

To hear my every prayer

Riding on the clouds to take His children home

Arise, Arise

The day is fast approaching

Don’t be left behind and all alone

 

I love the way He loves me

And fills me with His joy

It keeps me singing every single day

I love the peace He gives me

Way down deep inside

It fills my heart with calm along the way

 

He gives me hope that lasts

Through the good times and the bad

I can depend that He will care for me

And then He grows my faith

For He always guides my life

Through every single trial that I see

 

He’s always right there with me

And He hears my every prayer

I know He’ll answer when the time is right

He also has a plan for me

A plan that’s good for me

So II can always know the future’s bright

 

But nothing will compare

To the day that He arrives

It will come in the twinkling of an eye

And those who have accepted

His loving sacrifice

Wil join Him as they rise up to the sky

Riding on the clouds to take His children home

Crossing Over

I was drowning

A mountain of sin  encompassed me

And I had no way out

Then I heard about Jesus

And His love for me

And His sacrifice to take away

my sin

And I took the jump

From sinner to saint

From sorrow to joy

From turmoil to peace

From doubt to faith

From worry to hope

From guilty to forgiven

From Hell to Heaven

Crossing over was easy

Won’t you take the jump?

Born Again

I was born to be holy; I was born to be free

I was born to take part in His ministry

I was born when the spirit came in like a dove

I was born when I accepted God’s own son

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

 

I was born to be righteous in Christ alone

I was born to live here but make heaven my home

I was born to praise Jesus with all of my heart

I was born to serve Him and to do my part

 

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder why

The God of the Heavens would come here to die

When I think of the mercy and grace He displayed

I can’t help but worship His wonderful name

 

Born again – He gave me new life

Born again – the old man must die

Born again – by the power of His hand

Praise the Lord, I’ve been born again

What is Your Passion

Our world has turned love

Into lust

And it is called passion

But passion is so much more

More than lust

More than emotion

More than a desire or need

Passion is what you pour your heart into

Your life into

Your soul  into

Your mind into

Your strength into

The Word says

Love the Lord your God

with all your heart

And all your mind

And all your soul

And all your strength

In other words

Be passionate about Jesus
