He Outlasted Me

1 Reply

I fought against the Lord 

For many long years

Thinking He’d eventually give up

I did protest His wanting me

To give my life to Him

There were things I just did not want to give up
But He remained persistent 

And I learned I needed Him

Because my life was spinning out on control

So I finally called out

And I asked Him to come in

And I gave to Him complete control
Now I wonder why I protested 

My life is now complete 

And I have the blessed assurance of His love

His joy and peace are constant 

And His grace does cover me

And His mercy is abundant by His love

Living in this world has it’s moments

When it seems everything goes wrong

As a Christian if I witness with my comments

Theres a chance I won’t be free for very long

 

Because the Bible says that sin is only covered

By the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

And when we accept ths Son and are converted

We must turn away from sin amd walk with God

 

If I dare proclaim that sin is sin to some

There are those who’d say I’m speaking out of hate

And they would love to make a martyr of me

Because they don’t want to leave their sinful ways

 

It matters not what they might do to harm me

My calling is to preach the word of God

So excuse me if I follow what He tells me

I would rather follow Him than man’s applause

One day it’s going to happen

And it’s too far away

Jesus Christ will split the Eastern sky

And all have accepted Him

As Lord of all their lives

Will vanish as from earth they take their flight

 

Imagine all the chaos

That will happen on that day

When millions will be gone iin just a flash

If you don’t want to stay behind

Ask Jesus to come in

And you will rise with us because you asked

I used to be running scared all the time

That hell was awaiting me

I’d finally taken a look at myself

And realized I wasn’t free

This spiriitual evaluation

Then brought me to my knees

And I prayed a prayer to Jesus

And asked Him to forgive me

 

He did for me just as I asked

Then He made a change by decree

He just rearranged a few letters

To make scared into sacred for me

My life now is totally different

It’s a wonder that He set me free

So now I willl live for my Savior

And through Him, how sacred I’ll be!

The King Eternal

Leave a reply

He started in a manger filled with hay 
At death borrowed tomb is where He lay
He never owned a home
In ministry He roamed
Teaching of the truth, the life, the way.

 

He was the King who came to die

A minister of light and life

The masses followed Him

He eased their suffering

And told them words that opened up their eyes

 

He is the King eternal

The everlasting God

The mighty creator

The one who reigns above

His victory is forever

He shed his precious blood

He died for you and me

So we could know His love

 

The leaders of the day were mad

The words He shared they thought were bad

They sought to take His life

Against Him the conspired

They turned the crowd against Him and were glad

 

This King was beaten mercilessly

He carried His cross to Calvary

His feet and hands were nailed

The soldiers had prevailed

They crucified Him there upon that tree

 

The borrowed tomb became His grave

The guards had sealed the tomb and stayed

But death could not hold Him

Over the grave, He wins

Now eternal life is mine always

 

He is the King eternal

The everlasting God

The mighty creator

The one who reigns above

His victory is forever

He shed his precious blood

He died for you and me

Which Do You Choose?

Some people quote Confucius

Or Plato  or Gandhi

Others look at stars and think

They need astrology

 

I prefer the words of Jesus

They echo down through time

Not only are they full of truth

They also changed my life

 

For I was once a sinful  man

Who did a whole lot wrong

But Jesus took my sin away

So now I sing His song

 

It is amazing how just words

Can make a difference

I pray that my words echo down

And touch my grand children

The King of Kings

Let’s worship Him today

 

He bore the price

For all my sin

So I would have

A way to win

His grace did reign

That fateful day

As on the cross

My debt He paid

 

He did not balk

He did not fail

He took the whip

He took the nails

He walked the road

He bore His cross

He gave His all

At such a cost

 

They buried  Him

In borrowed tomb

They sealed it tight

A darkened room

The stone rolled back

The soldiers slept

He rose again

His promise kept

 

And now He stands

By Father God

He prays for me

He watches out

His love for all

Reached out to me

Now heaven’s home

Eternally

 

I’ll clap my hands

I’ll lift my voice

I’ll shout His praise

And I’ll rejoice

The King of Kings

Praise to Jesus

Praise on high

Lift your voice

Unto the sky

Shout His praise

Oh, shout and sing

Loud Hosannas

It’s All About Your Heart

I watch the news each morning

And what do I often see

Our cullture seems to be amidst a change

So many feel their slighted

And the balance is not fair

They think the way their treated is quite strange

 

I have news for each of them

Who feel entitlement

To have their own way be the way of life

It wonlt make any difference

What laws are put in placed

Unless you work to make your heart just right

 

The only way to change a heart

Is to give yourself to God

Let Him repair that broken heart with love

Jesus died uopn that cross

To take your sin away

You will find His grace is quite enough

 

So stop the demonstrations

And the murders and the hate

Let’s bring out culture back to moral ground

The heart is all that needs to change

To make our country great again

Today’s the day to let His love abound

Unthinkable Stink!

Leave a reply

If you had a choice

To have one simple smell

That would be with you for all time

Would you choose something pungent

That makes you quite sick

Or a sweet smelling savor divine?

 

I’m here to tell you

You do have that choice

It must be made while you’re alive

Because hell is a place

Of unthinkable stink

While heaven has scents so sublime

 

To avoid the bad stink

And eternity’s flames

One choice is all you must make

Accept Jesus Christ

As Lord of your life

And you’ll pass through those heavenly gates

When it comes to heaven or hell

It is not really easy to tell

Which ones will be going

Without really knowing

Who sits on the liminal wall

 

You see you can’t sit in between

And hope to make heaven your scene

If Jesus is Lord

Then Heaven is yours

So make sure from sin you are clean

 

His blood washes whiter than snow

If you ask Him in you will know

He wil set you free

From sin’s dread disease

And Heaven will be your new home
