Don’t Get Burned

5 Replies

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

Wonder or Wander?

1 Reply

When I was young I’d wander

Through life with little hope

The many days I squandered

Kept me on a slippery slope

 

My soul was caught in trouble

My mind was bent on fun

I sought drink on the double

I thought my days were done

 

I had no cares of future

I partied day and night

Then I became a searcher

And wandered toward the Light

 

The Light, I learned, was Jesus

I learned He died for me

I asked Him for forgiveness

From sin, I was set free

 

Now I wonder at His mercy

I marvel at His grace

One day to heav’n He’ll take me

And I will see His face

 

From wandering to wondering

This change brought peace and joy

There is no more meandering

My life I now enjoy

 

fI you are wondering through life

And wonder what to do

Why not give Him all your strife

And new life He’ll give you?

I Just Want To Thank You

I just want to thank you

For all you’ve done for me

I wouldn’t be alive without you

I just want to thank you

For your great love for me

You loved me before I knew you

 

You give me air to breath

And light so I can see

You keep me on the ground with gravity

You keep my heart beating

You keep my lungs breathing

You keep my body functioning

 

You place beauty everywhere

Like birds up in the air

They fly majestically everywhere

The trees are beautiful

The sky with clouds are full

The sun comes up and sets as usual

 

I just want to thank you

For all you’ve done for me

I wouldn’t be alive without you

I just want to thank you

For your great love for me

You loved me before I knew you

 

And then you sent your Son

Your one and only Son

To come and share your love for me

He taught the masses truth

From elderly to youth

He taught us how think and how to be

 

And then He gave His life

Became my sacrifice

And from my sin I was set free

He died to conquer sin

And He rose from death again

To give me life eternally

 

I just want to thank you

For all you’ve done for me

I wouldn’t be alive without you

I just want to thank you

For your great love for me

You loved me before I knew you

I Fixed My Thinking!

I thought once about all of my sin

And the life I was living so fast

That first time I chose not to change

Anything that I’d done in the past

 

But upon second thought, I decided

That hell ws not taking my life

So I fell on my knees before Jesus

And I asked His forgiveness that night

 

He washed my sins whiter than snow

And now Heaven’s my home for all time

There’s no second thoughts in me now

I’m blessed in my Savior divine

What A Savior

It’s hard to explain

This joy I have inside

It makes my disappointments

Run away and hide

When sorrow tries to come

I tell it to subside

Because the joy I have from Jesus

Will constantly abide

 

It’s hard to comprehend

This peace I have attained

When trouble comes my way

It never causes pain

When fear tries to surround me

I tell it to refrain

Because the peace I have from Jesus

Will constantly remain

 

What a Savior

What a friend

Jesus is to me

Giving Hope

Giving mercy

He is all I need

Answering my prayers

Always guiding me

Wonderful Messiah

Jesus is to me

 

Impossible to know

The depth of His great love

He showers it upon me

From heaven up above

It overflows my spirit

There is more than enough

I’m so glad He gives me

His unfailing love

 

And then there is His greatest gift

His Amazing grace

It forgives me when I falter

And lifts me when I praise

I’ll look to Him each morning

In hopes too see His face

I’ll never turn away from

His amazing grace

 

What a Savior

What a friend

Jesus is to me

Giving Hope

Giving mercy

He is all I need

Answering my prayers

Always guiding me

From  proclaiming His dear name

At every chance I’m given in this life

So  though it may irk some

If I can reach just one

I’ll mention His salvation every time

Sings His praise

Broken hearts

And wounded souls

Arise to live again

From sins dead grasp

He brings us out of chains

Our sin is washed

As white as snow

He frees us from our shame

 

His name is Counselor

His word is truth

Teaches me

To follow in His ways

 

I hear His name

His Glorious name

His praise flows from my lips

Worthy of my praise

And praise His mighty name

Not like a Hot Dog

2 Replies

I am a lover of hot dogs

Mustard and relish on top

They taste oh so good

A wonderful food

Three with the buns is enough

 

But when it comes to my soul

Only Jesus can satisfy

Nothing to garnish

Like mustard or relish

Just His precious grace gives me life
