Shine
Like a beacon
Shine
Let the light show
Shine
So the world will see
Shine
Like a beacon
Shine
Let the light show
Shine
So the world will see
What does it take
How much will it cost me
How long will it last
How changed will my life be
The questions that come
When we seek successful
When we follow the world
It can be quite stressful
But in following God
The path is the best
Just stay in His word
And you’ll have success
In response to the daily prompt Successful
I sit here thinking what to do
In early morning hours
I’ve been awake for quite a while
And I’ve taken my shower
And then I see my email
Has a message just for me
So I move the mouse on over
And I take a little peek
It’s the daily prompt, oh goody
Now I’ve got something to do
And in the privacy of my lounge chair
I write this poem to you
In response to the daily prompt Privacy
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Overwhelms me every day
And I find that I am trusting
In His mercy and His grace
When I think about His majesty
And How He reigns supreme
I can’t fathom why he gave His life
To save a wretch like me
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Reaches out to touch my heart
And I find that I am resting
In the peace He does impart
When I think about His royalty
The King of Kings is He
I am awed that he would take the time
To walk beside of me
Oh, the great, great love of Jesus
Fills me with a raging fire
Beckons me to tell all that I meet
They are His hearts desire
I am a poem composer
And in way of a disclosure
I give my Jesus exposure
Because I love Him so
He took my life from chaos
Where I was headed for great loss
He paid such a great cost
Because He loved me so
So now I praise with a shout
To tell what He’s all about
His message has to get out
Because He loves you so
In response to the daily prompt Exposure
I wait for you
In the quiet night
To come and shed
Your glorious light
I got my letter the other day
Directly from the SSA
The wrote me to gladly say
Disability approved
Right now my job I cannot do
Cancer has my chemo due
I have to see the program through
To make my cancer cured
So writing blogs now fills my days
It seems more overworked always
But I have so much left to say
Enjoying this tiime off
In response to the daily prompt Overworked
I’m waiting for the sunrise
The air is filled with fog
I know the light will be delayed
But it will come along
When all the fog burns off
And sunlight fills the sky
I’ll see the gorgeous frosted trees
As we go driving by
I love a winters frosting
It makes the day go right
To see the glistening branches
Reflecting the sunlight
I only hope that my life
Is a little like this day
That others see the love of Christ
Reflect in what I say
Not only in the words I speak
But in all that I may do
Lord please let my reflection
Always show that I love you
I still remember when I first met Jesus
Sitting on a couch in Iowa
He came into my heart
Gave me a brand-new start
I knew that He was with me all the way
It’s been over 40 years since that day
When the burden of my sin was washed away
Since then I’ve learned to pray
And to follow in His ways
But most of all I’ve learned to praise His name
My heart cries out to praise Him
For all He’s done for me
His mercy’s overwhelming
His grace is sweet indeed
I lift my hands in worship
To Jesus Christ my King
My heart cries out to praise Him
He is my everything
Today I know He teaches me His truth
And He’s become my guiding light
I trust in Him always
I know He plans my days
I will never be out of His sight
And should this day bring troubles
That make me doubt and fear
I know He’ll comfort me
And in His arms I’ll be
Safe and sound, His love will be so near
My heart cries out to praise Him
For all He’s done for me
His mercy’s overwhelming
His grace is sweet indeed
I lift my hands in worship
To Jesus Christ my King
My heart cries out to praise Him
He is my everything
You may have seen I got a little antsy
And hit the publish button way to soon
And my asthetic post
Went out with too much haste
So I changed what this quick post was going to do
I was going to talk about my Saviors beauty
Asthetically He’s way beyond compare
Instead I think I’ll say
I’ll praise Him everyday
And hope that you will help me fill the air
Fill it with His praises
Loud Hosannas ring
Fill it with your worship
Of Jesus Christ our King
Fill with Hallelujahs
Lift your voice and sing
Fill the air with praises
To Jesus Christ our King
