Work Out Your Own Salvation ~
You can exercise,
every day at the gym
you can lift weights
to keep fit and trim.
But, if you’re not living,
a Godly life . . .
your soul will experience
eternal strife.
You can go to a clubhouse,
in the day or at night
you can keep your physic
noticeable strong and tight.
But, if you’re not working,
out your own salvation
you could be headed
for eternal damnation.
You can run a marathon,
or any other race
you can groom yourself
to take first place.
But, if you’re not training,
each day for Godliness
you just might miss out on . . .
having everlasting bliss!
~~~~~~~~
“For bodily exercise profiteth little:
but godliness is profitable unto all
things, having promise of the life
that now is, and of that which is to come.

Let The Water Flow ~
Let the Spirit burst forth,
let it flare, let it erupt
so it may save Lord
the depraved and corrupt.
Let the Truth spill out,
let it ooze, let it seep
so it may harness Lord
lost and wayward sheep.
Let the Light flood,
let it drench, let it surge
so that in Your grace Lord
sinful hearts can purge.
Let the Living Water flow,
let it gush, let it release
so that in You Lord . . .
all can find eternal peace!
~~~~~~
In the last day, that great day
of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him
come unto me, and drink.

End Those Painful Memories ~
For some the battle rages,
deep inside their head
where memories of the past
fill them with fear and dread.
They hold on to the picture,
that paints a horrific view
of what people once did . . .
and what they still can do.
Jesus can fix those images,
locked up in your mind
He has a brighter landscape
for you to come and find.
There you’ll have a new life,
one that holds His peace
and those painful old pictures
will fade away and cease.
For some the past fills them,
with sadness, despair and dread
but with Jesus there’s hope . . .
for a joyful future ahead!
~~~~~~~~
 Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things
which are behind, and
reaching forth unto those
things which are before,
I press toward the mark for
the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus.
Let us therefore, as many as be
perfect, be thus minded: and
if in any thing ye be otherwise
minded, God shall reveal
even this unto you.

There’s No Fear Today ~
There is no fear,
of God today . . .
there’s no concern
for judgment day.
There’s no despair,
about hell today
there’s just too many
on the wide way.
There’s no dread,
over evil today
there’s not a soul
satan can’t sway.
There’s no turning,
from sin today
there’s so few left
on the straight way.
There’s no fear,
of God today . . .
but there’ll be trembling
come judgment day!
~~~~~~~
The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of
knowledge: but fools
despise wisdom
and instruction.

Seek The Lord’s Face ~
When you seek,
the Lord’s face
you will find . . .
sufficient grace.
For when the Lord,
you search to find
He will bless you
with peace of mind.
When you explore,
the Lord’s way
you will find . . .
strength for the day.
For when you pursue,
the Lord’s will
He will your heart
calm and still.
When you need,
to find more grace . . .
remember to always
seek the Lord’s face!
~~~~~~~
Seek the LORD,
and his strength:
seek his face evermore.
