A Bruised Heart ~
Feeling baffled,
a little confused
feeling’s hurting
heart’s been bruised?
Well God doesn’t want,
you to be crushed
so keep giving Him
your complete trust.
Feeling forsaken,
lost and alone
feeling’s exposed
right to the bone?
Well God doesn’t want,
you to feel distraught
so just give to Him
all your weary thoughts.
Feeling deceived,
wronged and misled
feeling’s raw
hurt is widespread?
Well call out to God,
tell Him how you feel
so your despair . . .
He can begin to heal!
~~~~~~~
As for me,
I will call upon God;
and the Lord shall
save me.

When I Leave This World ~
When I leave this world,
joy I am going out with
for to me heaven isn’t
a illusion or a myth.
It’s as real as the sky,
the earth and the sea
I believe there’s a room
waiting just for me.
When I leave this world,
perfect peace I’ll find
for to me heaven isn’t . . .
a fallacy of my mind.
It’s as real as the grass,
the flowers and the trees
for I believe with Jesus
it’s where I’ll forever be.
When I leave this earth,
I will be in paradise
all because of Jesus’ . . .
redeeming sacrifice!
~~~~~~~~~~
In my Father’s house are many mansions:
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I go to prepare a place for you.
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.
But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while
we were yet sinners,
Christ died for us.

A Sip From God’s Mercy Cup ~
When your heart screams,
I can’t take anymore . . .
when it can no longer
continue in torment’s war.
That is when it needs,
God protective shield
so to His perfect peace
it can begin to yield.
When you heart hollers,
stop terrorizing me . . .
when it shouts out loud
why won’t you let me be.
That’s when it needs,
Jesus to console it
so He can bring His calm
into your own spirit.
When your heart comes,
to a place of giving up . . .
stop and take a long sip
from God’s mercy cup!
~~~~~~~~~~
It is of the Lord’s mercies
that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness.
Psalm 23:5
My cup runneth over.

Easer Of My Care ~
Lord of my comfort,
easer of my care . . .
I praise You for always
being for me there.
Through all the trials,
the concern and worry
You give me the faith
to make the journey.
Lord of my grace,
forgiver of my sin
Your perfect peace
I now have within.
Though I am weak,
you’ve made me strong
no longer are You angry
for the things I did wrong.
Lord of my life,
reliever of my fear
You give me hope . . .
just knowing You’re near!
~~~~~~~~~~
And in that day thou shalt say,
O Lord, I will praise thee:
though thou wast angry with me,
thine anger is turned away,
and thou comfortedst me.

Troubled Not ~
Trouble not your heart,
let not fear into it enter
instead keep your eyes
on God front and centered.
Then when troubles come,
you wont be dismayed
as you let God’s mercy
into your soul pervade.
Trouble not your mind,
when worries start to brew
instead keep your eyes
on your eternal view.
Then when problems come,
you won’t be confused
as you let the peace of Jesus
into your thoughts infuse.
Trouble not your heart,
neither your mind or soul
but let the love of Jesus . . .
in them take control!
~~~~~~~~~~
This poor man cried,
and the Lord heard him,
and saved him out of
all his troubles.

Lord, Help Us to Run ~
Lord, help us to run,
this race we are in
help us to finish well
so the prize we can win.
Give us the stamina.
the patience for endurance
give us the spiritual muscle
to keep going the distance.
Lord, help us to run,
right past temptation
help us to keep our eyes
on our true destination.
Give us strength,
keep us fit and strong
so we’ll not be dismayed
when things go wrong.
Lord, help us to run,
so that we may win . . .
this race before us
over evil and sin!
~~~~~~~
Know ye not that they
which run in a race run all,
but one receiveth the prize?
So run, that ye may obtain.

Unwind ~
Come My child,
tell me what’s on your mind
come and rest with Me
from your troubles unwind.
Tell me all about them,
unload yourself on Me
come so from your worries
I may set you free.
Come My child,
sit here with Me for a spell
come so I may give you
water from the living well.
Let Me release into you,
the peace you’re so in need of
come let me soak you in
My mercy, grace and love.
Come My child,
tell me about your fear
come and rest here with Me
come and lets be near!
~~~~~~~~~~
Come unto me,
all ye that labour
and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

The Fickle Heart ~
The heart is a fickle thing,
one moment it’s at peace
the next one that comes
panic it starts to release.
It has its times of faith,
in the things it cannot see
but when problems come
it’s tossed like waves at sea.
The heart is a quirky thing,
one day it’s resting calm
the next it’s flat on its back
as if it was hit by a bomb.
It has its joyful highs,
when all is going well
but it hits rock bottom
when fear begins to swell.
The heart that trusts God,
is a heart that is sound . . .
for it knows He will guard it
when troubles come around!
~~~~~~~~
A double minded man
is unstable in all his ways.
And let the peace of God
rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are
called in one body;
and be ye thankful.

Claiming My Peace ~
I’m claiming my peace,
I am coming to rest
knowing that for me
God only has His best.
But, it up to me,
to trust with all my heart
so I’m claiming my peace
upon morning’s start.
I’m claiming my quietness,
I am going to rely
on Jesus’ to steady me
till this storm passes by
But, it’s left to me,
to trust with all my mind
so I’m claiming my calm
that only in Him I can find.
I’m claiming God’s peace,
my understanding it’ll surpass . . .
and then my heart and mind
fear no longer can harass!
~~~~~~~~~~
And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts and minds
through Christ Jesus.

Fools For Chirst ~
Hurting CHRISTians all around,
I hear your pain, I know the sound
I see the battle that you fight . . .
being for Jesus His saving light.
I know your hurts are for real,
you cannot help how you feel
in the world you are despised
but you’re precious in God’s eyes.
In this world that takes and takes,
there’s no forgiveness for mistakes
if you believe and in God trust
in Jesus’s name you’ll be cussed.
We’re not perfect God knows this,
and the mark we’ll often miss
people can be so mean and cruel . . .
but, for Christ’s sake we’ll be a fool.
Our Lord Jesus saves us from,
the pounding beat of satan’s drum
for it is His wisdom that we seek . . .
tis why His Strong the world calls weak!
~~~~~~~~~~
We are fools for Christ’s sake,
but ye are wise in Christ;
we are weak, but ye are strong;
ye are honourable,
but we are despised.

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

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!~~~~~~~

from him cometh my salvation.

he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
