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!

“Wait on the Lord:
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!
~~~~~~~~~
” Surely he hath borne our griefs,
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;”

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.”

Closer Everyday ~
I’m being drawn,
closer every day
I’m getting further
down the narrow way.
I’m being pulled,
in the right direction
I’m being drawn
by a divine connection.
I’m being guided,
down the righteous way
I’m getting nearer
to the goal every day.
I’m being lead,
towards the eternal light
I’m being taught
to win the faithful fight.
I’m being drawn,
closer in every way
I’m moving nearer
to God each day!
~~~~~~~

and he will draw nigh to you.

A Joyful Life ~
Life is more joyful,
when in God we trust
it is more beautiful
when He’s working in us.
It is more pleasurable,
when we let God lead
it is more bearable
when His laws we heed.
Life is more joyful,
when in God we trust
it is more delightful
when He controls us.
It is more enjoyable,
when God shows the way
it is more gratifying
when to Him we pray.
Life is more joyful,
when we are still
it is more fruitful
when we do His will!
~~~~~~~~
“Delight thyself also in the Lord:
and he shall give thee the desires
of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he
shall bring it to pass.”

To The Heavens and Back ~
I love You Lord,
to the heavens and back
I trust You Lord
for all that I lack.
I know You’re watching,
looking out for me
I have faith in You for
the things I can’t see.
I love You Lord,
from here to eternity
I trust You Lord
You have my fidelity.
I believe when You said,
I’d not be forsaken
I love You so much
my faith can’t be shaken.
I love You Lord,
from here to Your throne
I will trust You Lord
till You take me home!

will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord, hast not
forsaken them that seek thee.”

Digging Down ~
Lord, I’m digging down,
going way deep inside
all my selfish desires
I’m going to put aside.
It’s going to get dirty,
as I clear out the way
but, it must be clean
if I want You to stay.
I’m clearing a path,
by repenting of the sin
and all the wickedness
still hidden deep within.
In my heart of hearts,
way deep in my soul
tis where I want You
to take complete control.
Lord, I’m digging down,
going way down inside
making ready a place
where You can abide!

If Walking in The True Light ~
If we are walking,
in the True Light . . .
we will be given
a new heavenly sight.
We’ll begin to see,
God’s full glory
for our past sins
we’ll truly be sorry.
For the Light brings,
unworldly clarity
as it illuminates
our soul’s impurity.
It will expose,
the filth in our heart
so God’s mercy in it
He can impart.
If we are walking,
in the True Light . . .
with spiritual darkness
we’ll not have to fight!
~~~~~~~
“This then is the message
which we have heard of him,
and declare unto you,
that God is light, and in him
is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have
fellowship with him, and walk
in darkness, we lie,
and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood
of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.”

Without God’s Mercy ~
Without God’s mercy,
I would be pitiful
without His favor
I would be miserable.
Without His compassion,
I wouldn’t be sympathetic
without His humbleness
I wouldn’t be apologetic.
Without God’s clemency,
I would be hopeless
without God’s patience
I would be useless.
Without His mildness,
I would not be forgiving
without His tenderness
I would not be accepting.
Without God’s mercy,
I would be deplorable
without His favor
I would be just horrible!
~~~~~~~~~
“Put on therefore, as the elect of God
holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving
one another, if any man have a quarrel
against any: even as Christ forgave
you, so also do ye.”

A Vessel in Use ~
I’m just a vessel,
daily God uses . . .
any way or how
He so chooses.
Whatever His purpose,
whatever is His will
I yield unto Him . . .
to use my given skill.
I want to be a vessel,
that brings honor
so I may glorify . . .
my heavenly Father.
No matter the occasion,
I am open to
whatever He may have
for me to do.
I am just a vessel,
for God to use
no matter the way . . .
He should choose!

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
