With A Heart Wholly ~
Lord, help me to seek,
You whenever I am weak
with a heart wholly
devoted to You solely.
Guide me in Your ways,
the rest of my living days
keep me on the path
leading away from Your wrath.
Lord, help me to be wise,
see things through Your eyes
so I may always know
the worthy way to go.
Help me to be earnest,
in knowing Your purpose
whenever I should doubt
may to You I stay devout.
Lord, help me to seek,
You when things are bleak
give my heart a nudge
so from You I’ll never budge!
~~~~~~~~
Blessed are they that keep
his testimonies, and that seek
him with the whole heart.

The Lion and The Lamb ~
One day Judah’s Lion,
will break open seven seals
one day the wrath of God
He will at long last reveal.
One day the Lamb of God,
from each scroll will read
for worthy is He . . .
who was crucified on a tree.
One day Judah’s Lion,
will be crown King of Kings
one day the world will know
the peace that He brings.
One day God’s precious Lamb,
who died for the sins of mankind
will return to conquer Satan
and his enemies for the last time.
One day the Lion of Judah,
God’s sacrificial Lamb once slain
will from heaven’s glorious throne . . .
the whole world will ~ forever reign!
~~~~~~~
And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe
of Judah, the Root of David, hath
prevailed to open the book, and to
loose the seven seals thereof.
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst
of the throne and of the four beasts,
and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb as it had been slain,
having seven horns and seven eyes,
which are the seven Spirits of God
sent forth into all the earth.
And he came and took the book out
of the right hand of him that sat
upon the throne.

If the Lord Should Tarry ~
If the Lord should tarry,
and I should see another day
I’ll continue to press on
as I travel the narrow way.
If I have to remain,
on this earth a while longer
my faith in Jesus . . .
will only just get stronger.
If I have to wait,
until the Lord comes for me
my hope will see me through
until the day with Him I’ll be.
If I have to linger,
and I’m given here more time
I’ll keep on trusting Jesus
as obstacles I climb.
If the Lord should tarry,
and I remain here another day
I’ll be waiting right here . . .
till with Him ~ He takes me away!
~~~~~~~~~~
“For yet a little while,
and he that shall come will come,
and will not tarry.
Now the just shall live by faith:
but if any man draw back,
my soul shall have no
pleasure in him.
My sheep hear my voice,
and I know them,
and they follow me:

On A Roll ~
Hope is the fuel,
of my soul . . .
it keeps my life
in God’s control.
It powers me,
to onward press
gives the oomph
not to stress.
Hope is the fuel,
in my step . . .
it revs my trust
renders me pep.
It propels me,
to safely stay
close to the Truth
the Life and Way.
Hope is the fuel,
of my soul . . .
it keeps my faith
on a constant roll!
~~~~~~~~~~
Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing of
the great God and our
Saviour Jesus Christ;

Putting Faith Into Practice ~
Lord, help me to put,
my faith into practice
so I don’t appear
phony, fake or plastic.
Help me to live,
with hope abounding
so like a skeptic
I am not sounding.
Lord, help me to put,
faith into my behavior
so other’s will see
the love of my Savior.
Help me to perform,
my faith in You out
so I may be a witness
to a world full of doubt.
Lord, let not Your Words,
pass right through my ears
but let them go and do
everything they hear!
~~~~~~
But be ye doers of the word,
and not hearers only,
deceiving your own selves.
