A Brewing Storm ~
There’s a coming storm,
for years its been brewing
we all have been privy
to its ominous warning.
It’s been building up,
for many a decade
you can smell in the air
the filth, rot and decay.
There’s a disturbance,
it’s out on the horizon
off in the distance
there is an eerie siren.
If you listen closely,
you will hear its roar
soon God’s wrath
will be coming ashore.
There’s a storm coming,
soon there no longer will be . . .

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these; Adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions
heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings,
and such like: of the which I tell you before,
as I have also told you in time past, that
they which do such things
shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

To Be Like Jesus ~
To be like Jesus,
our minds need to entwine
and then our hearts to Him
will begin to align.
For us to finally put off,
our former, sinful ways
to our old worldly desires
we must daily reappraise.
Our old lustful thoughts,
must daily be transformed
our greedy attitudes
will need to be reformed.
Our minds have to be,
continuously changed
from our corrupt attitudes
we must become estranged.
To be like Jesus,
takes the Holy Spirit’s doing
it may take a lifetime . . .
but, it’s so worth our pursuing!
~~~~~~~
” That ye put off concerning the former
conversation the old man, which is
corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man,
which after God is created in
righteousness and true holiness.”

The Promise ~
Further than the stars,
that my eyes can see
is the promise of rest
God has awaiting me.
Higher than the moon,
hanging in the sky
is the promise of peace
coming from up high.
Beyond the sun’s ray,
beaming from above
is the promise of bliss
bathed in eternal love.
Wider than the ocean,
deeper than the blue sea
is the promise of calm
waiting just for me.
Beyond what I envision,
further than all I can see
I know heaven is waiting
one day to welcome me!
~~~~~~~~~
“And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

The Great Exchange ~
He forgives,
the unforgivable
He loves
the undesirable.
He redeems,
the unjust
He atones
the corrupt.
He justifies,
the wicked
He paid for
the crooked.
He pities,
the helpless
He delivers
the hopeless.
He condemns,
not a one
He pardons
all evil done.
Jesus exchanged,
His life for ours
so won’t you today . . .
please give Him yours?
~~~~~~~~~~
“For God so loved the world,
that he gave his
only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.”

Glory Hallelujah ~
He is risen,
glory hallelujah
He has risen
triumphant alleluia.
He is alive,
blissful elation
He is alive
joyful celebration.
He is risen,
peaceful expectation
He has risen
eternal transformation.
He is here,
cheerful jubilation
He is here
hopeful affirmation.
Jesus is risen,
just like He had said
Jesus is alive
no longer is He dead!
~~~~~~~
“He is not here, but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,”

The Power of the Blood ~
The power of the blood,
is our souls atonement
for Jesus became for us
our spiritual proponent.
His life and death brought,
with God reconciliation
for our sins Jesus suffered
shame and humiliation.
His blood has the power,
to cleanse us from all sin
to wash away the stains
they have left deep within.
The day He died for us,
was the day of justification
the cross on which He hung
was for our sanctification.
The power of the blood,
brings to all eternal peace
for Jesus died so we could be
from sin, finally released!
~~~~~~~~~
” For the life of the flesh is in the blood:
and I have given it to you upon the altar
to make an atonement for your souls:
for it is the blood that maketh
an atonement for the soul.”

When Trials Blow Our Way ~
When trials blow our way,
on the winds of stress
when we start to feel
tense and hard pressed.
That’s when we need to go,
to the One who’ll ease
the whirlwind we are in
into a tranquil breeze.
When adversity slams,
on the door of our trust
when anxiety’s clamor
starts to overwhelm us.
That’s when we need to go,
to the Savior of our soul
and give to Him our fears
so He can take control.
When trials blow our way,
as worry slams about
that’s when we need Jesus . . .
to chart for us new a route!
~~~~~~~~~
“And he saith unto them,
Why are ye fearful, O ye
of little faith? Then he
arose, and rebuked the
winds and the sea;
and there was a great calm.”

I Have a Friend ~
I have a Friend,
He’s so good to me
a more loyal Friend
there could never be.
My Friend is with me,
no matter where I go
I know my Friend
will never be a no-show.
I have a Friend,
who I can always trust
what ever I am doing
you’ll see the two of us.
My Friend is faithful,
some One who is true
I know my Friend
wants to be yours too.
I have a Friend,
He is so good to me
in fact, my Friend died
because He loves me!
~~~~~~
” Greater love
hath no man than this,
that a man lay down
his life for his friends.”
