AWOL ~
As soldiers of God,
we mustn’t be at ease
we can’t go and do
whatever we please.
We must always be,
in conflict mode
there’s no down time
in our battle code.
Our assigned posts,
we can never leave
in our daily fight
there is no reprieve.
We need to be ready,
with our battle plans
we must always obey
His fight commands.
As soldiers of God,
we mustn’t go AWOL
lest into Satan’s hands
we will surely fall!

“Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary
the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:”

I’m Waiting For You Lord ~
I am waiting for You Lord,
because You told me to
and I am anticipating
what it is that You will do.
I am being strong Lord,
for I have put my trust
in You because I know
You’re always fair and just.
I am waiting for You Lord,
just like You said I should
and I know I can expect
from You something good.
I’m remaining calm Lord,
see I’m not trembling
for I have put my faith in
whatever You’re assembling.
I am waiting for You Lord,
again I say I’m waiting . . .
for I know that with You
there can be no debating!

be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen
thine heart: wait,
I say, on the Lord.”

Amen and Amen ~
God’s made a way before,
He will make one again
I know this too shall past
got no reason to complain.
I made it through before,
I will get by once more
I know God has a plan
and He will open a door.
I’ve been here before,
God guided me through
I know He will again
show me what to do.
This isn’t anything new,
I know what to expect
so I am just going to let
God lead and direct.
God’s made a way before,
He will make one again
now all I have to do . .
is say, Amen and Amen!

Strengthen Me Lord ~
Lord, strengthen me,
let me not be a doubter
don’t let my weaknesses
steal away Your power.
Lord, strengthen me,
give me spiritual stability
let me not falter
due to my human frailty.
Lord, strengthen me,
as only You can do
let not my feebleness
take me away from You.
Lord, strengthen me,
fill me with Your might
give me endurance
in the faithful fight.
Lord, strengthen me,
be my power source
let Your Spirit’s might
though my body course!

The Path of Grief ~
The path of grief,
is long and steep
day’s pass slowly
night’s just creep.
The road’s winding,
the pain reels
brokenness
is all one feels.
The path of sorrow,
is wide and deep
one never knows
when they’ll weep.
The way is hard,
the despair intense
the valley seems
so immense.
The path of grief,
is long and steep
but Jesus comforts
His grieving sheep!

and carried our sorrows:”

Two Roads, One Path ~
There are two roads,
two different destinies
one has a remedy
the other has penalties.
One leads to heaven,
the other one to hell
both determine where
in eternity we will dwell.
One takes endurance,
strength and firmness
one takes indifference
greed and worldliness.
Each one of us,
has a decision to make
we must choose the road
we are willing to take.
There are two different roads,
but only one true path
that will lead us away . . .
from knowing God’s wrath!

“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the gate, and broad
is the way, that leadeth to
destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.”

What Love Is ~
Love is patient,
love is kind
love doesn’t have
a haughty mind,
It will not boast,
it is not proud
it doesn’t stand
out in a crowd.
Love is pleasant,
it doesn’t envy
it is cheerful
always friendly.
It’s full of joy,
mercy and favor
it is faithful
never a traitor.
Love is calm,
it is peaceful
never angry
always grateful.
It’s brings light,
rays of hope
love helps others
how to cope.
Love is patient,
love is kind
for love has . . .
a forgiving mind!
~~~~~~~~~
“Charity suffereth long,
and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil;”
King James Version

The Saving Light ~
Lord, I pray those in the dark,
may see Your saving Light
I pray they will come to know
it’s with Satan that they fight.
I pray they will find the Truth,
so they can seek the Way
I pray Your mercy and favor
will cause their hearts to sway.
I pray their eyes be opened,
to the darkness of their deeds
I pray they will come to know
it is the devil who misleads.
I pray their ears will hear,
the Good News that You sent
I pray to Your love and grace
they will give their consent.
Lord, I pray for those under,
Satan’s bondage and control
I pray they will come to know
only You can save their soul!
~~~~~~~~
“To open their eyes, and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from the
power of Satan unto God, that they
may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them which
are sanctified by faith that is in me.”
