Great Expectations ~

Great is my expectation,
Jesus will soon return
vehement is my hope
from this world I’ll adjourn.

Great is my anticipation,
with the saints I will be
robust is my soul’s desire
a twinkling I’ll soon see.

Great is my determination,
to be sober and diligent
confident is my belief
Jesus’ return is imminent.

Great is my excitement,
I’ll hear the trumpet blow
intense is my eagerness
when He calls me to go.

Great is my expectation,
Jesus will soon reappear
great is my prospect . . .
in the clouds we’ll disappear!

Matthew 24:27

For as the lightning cometh out
of the east, and shineth even
unto the west; so shall also
the coming of the Son of man be.

At My Dining Table ~

I invited Jesus,
to break bread with me
the day I gave Him
to my heart the key.

Ever since that day,
we daily sup and dine
and He shows me how to be
a faithful branch on His vine.

Early in the mornings,
His Gospel we sit and read
and through the scriptures
I follow where He leads.

Together we dig into,
the real meat of His Word
so that apostasy
I’ll know when it’s heard.

I invited Jesus,
to sit at my dining table
and now His Word has become
for me a daily staple!

~~~~~~~

Revelation 3:20

Behold, I stand at the door,
and knock: if any man hear my voice,
and open the door,
I will come in to him,
and will sup with him, and he with me.

A Sound Heart ~

 

A sound heart,
doesn’t miss a beat
it lays its cares
at Jesus’ feet.

It puts its trust,
into his hands
it faithfully knows
to follow His plans.

A sound heart,
knows to pray
it’s at peace
night or day.

It allows Jesus,
to live in it
so to be guided
by His Spirit.

A sound heart,
is not shameful . . .
for the Word of God
it is grateful!

~~~~~~

Psalm 119:80

“Let my heart be sound
in thy statutes; that
I be not ashamed.

I’ll Praise Him No Matter What ~

Lord, I’ll praise You in the quietness,
when my soul is at rest
I’ll praise You in the tranquil times
when I’m feeling oh, so blessed.

I’ll praise You while in the valley,
when my spirit is feeling low
I’ll praise You in darker times
when I’m not sure which way to go.

I’ll praise You from the mountain top,
when my heart with You is right
I’ll praise You for each victory
when I’m soaking in Your light.

I’ll praise You in the gusts that blow,
when my soul is tossed about
I’ll praise You in the stormy sea
when I am struggling with doubt.

Lord, I’ll praise You no matter what,
be it I am blessed or stressed
I will praise You regardless . . .
if  I am anxious or at rest!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 46:1-3

“God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed,
and though the mountains be
carried into the midst of the sea;
though the waters thereof
roar and be troubled,
though the mountains shake
with the swelling thereof. Selah.

The Voice ~

If the Holy Spirit’s voice,
you truly want to hear
then you’ll need to give Him
everything that you fear.

For, His voice is low and soft,
you can’t hear it in the roar
and with Him it will be hard
to establish a rapport.

If the Holy Spirit’s voice,
you truly want to heed
then you must trust Him
for everything you need.

For, His voice is powerful,
it can do mighty things
but, you must willingly follow
the instructions that He brings

To hear the Holy Spirit’s voice,
you need to listen carefully
for He will speak right to you . . .
if you do so prayerfully!

~~~~~~~~~~~

John 14:26

“But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Ghost, whom the Father will
send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.”

Spare-Tire Christians ~

Spare-tire Christians,
smooth and tread-bare
only have faith . . .
when they lose air.

Calling on God,
only when deflated
the rest of the time
their ego’s inflated.

Spare-tire Christians,
come out of the trunk
only when they run . . .
out of good luck.

Praying to God,
for an easy, quick fix
then they speed off
back to their old tricks.

Spare tire Christians,
they are all around
they only need God . . .
when they break down!

2 Timothy 3:5

Having a form of godliness,
but denying the power thereof:
from such turn away.
