What is Your Will Lord ~
What is Your will Lord,
for me today . . .
what have You for me
to learn on this day?
How should I pray,
how should I know
how will Your will
for me, will You show?
What shall I say,
what should I do
how can I be . . .
a delight to You?
How do I find,
the heart of Your will
when on my own heart
will it, You instill?
What is Your will Lord,
for me today . . .
I so need to know it
before I go on my way!

O my God: yea, thy law is

Guard My Feet Lord ~
Guard my feet Lord,
keep them from stumbling
help them to be strong
keep them from wobbling.
Guide my feet Lord,
keep them going straight
help them to proceed
through the narrow gate.
Protect my steps Lord,
keep them from tripping
make them sturdy
keep them from slipping.
Lead my feet Lord,
secure my faith walk
help them to march
to the words I talk.
Guard my feet Lord,
let them not deviate
to the world’s ways
let them not acclimate!
~~~~~~~~
“He will keep the feet of his saints,
and the wicked shall be silent
in darkness; for by strength
shall no man prevail.”

Tumbleweed Faith ~
Tumbleweed faith . . .
gets blown all around
one day it’s lifted up
the next upside down.
It’s root is shallow,
it’s weak and unstable
faith like a tumbleweed
spins like a turntable.
Tumbleweed faith . . .
flips with the wind
under false doctrine
it becomes pinned.
Storms of adversity,
are too much for it
faith like a tumbleweed
to deceit won’t admit.
Tumbleweed faith . . .
gets blown all around
for in the true Gospel
it is not firmly ground!
~~~~~~~
That we henceforth
be no more children,
tossed to and fro,
and carried about
with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men,
and cunning craftiness, whereby
they lie in wait to deceive;”

Our King is Coming ~
Our King is coming,
soon Jesus will reign
He’ll wipe every tear
and heal all the pain.
Our King is coming,
the day is so near
His peace will bring
the end to all fear.
Our King is coming,
soon it will be
when pain no longer
will our eyes see.
Our King is coming,
no more death or dying
no more sounds of sobs
from broken heart’s crying.
Our King is coming,
all things will be new
oh, what joy there will be
for me and for you!
~~~~~~
“And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be
any more pain:
for the former things
are passed away.”

Prayer Prepares Us ~
Prayer changes,
our thoughts
keeps our eyes on
satan’s plots.
Prayer prepares us,
to hold on fast
keeps our faith
sober and steadfast.
Prayer strengthens,
us with power
supplies courage
to the final hour.
Prayer keeps us,
fervently watchful
helps us to remain
fiercely faithful.
Prayer changes,
our thinking
it readies our eyes
for the twinkling!
~~~~~~~~
“But the end of all things
is at hand:
be ye therefore sober,
and watch unto prayer.”

Life Isn’t Fair ~
God’s purposes are bigger,
than all of our troubles
He has His reason
for each of our struggles.
God uses our problems,
to temper our hearts
so His grace and mercy
in them He can impart.
God uses our worries,
to help us focus on
why He sent into this world
His own begotten Son.
God uses our burdens,
so we can learn to be
dependent on Jesus
not in what we can see.
God’s purposes are grander,
than our every care . . .
that’s why in the Bible
you won’t hear, life is fair!
~~~~~~~~~~
“And we know that all things
work together for good
to them that love God,
to them who are the called
according to his purpose.”

Getting Through the Narrow Gate ~
If we’re to get through,
the narrow gate . . .
we need to work on
our stance and gait.
We need to keep,
our heads held high
we need to keep
Jesus in our eyes.
We need to run,
with endurance
we need to walk
with assurance.
We need to hold,
our shoulder’s back
we need to ward off
satan’s every attack.
We need to keep,
sin’s weight off
we need not care
if others scoff.
If we’re to get through,
the narrow gate . . .
we must keep our souls
pointing straight!
~~~~~~
“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.”

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
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
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!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
