God, My Creator ~
God, my Creator,
my Former, my Author
I am so thankful
to be Your Daughter.
For You knew of me,
while in my mother’s womb
You gave me a heart eager
to meet Jesus my Groom.
God, my Designer,
my Maker, My Shaper
You knew I was only
a mere, passing vapor.
Yet You cherish me,
so much that You know
the number of hairs
on my head that grow.
God my Creator,
my Originator, my Conceiver
before I was born . . .
You knew I’d be a believer!
~~~~~~~~
For thou hast
possessed my reins:
thou hast covered me
in my mother’s womb.
I will praise thee;
for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth
right well.

Heavenly Minded People ~
Saintly people,
right on earth here
waiting for Jesus . . .
to again appear.
Human bodies,
echoing God’s love
biding our time . . .
til we’re with Him above.
Earthly beings,
living in unity
awaiting to spend . . .
with Jesus eternity.
Foreigners and aliens,
born again anew
ready for Jesus . . .
to make all things new.
Heavenly minded people,
a body of one
reflecting the Life, the Truth
the Way of the Son!
~~~~~~~~~~
That they all may be one;
as thou, Father, art in me,
and I in thee, that they also
may be one in us: that the
world may believe that
thou hast sent me.

In God’s Waiting Room ~
In God’s waiting room,
I sometimes have to stay
it where He teaches me
the whys for His delay.
He wants me to know,
waiting has its due season
and soon I will gather
the answers to His reason.
He uses this waiting time,
for me to focus on His face
so that I can experience . . .
the full measure of His grace.
He wants me to learn,
how to depend on Him
why my pride and conceit
He has to pare and trim.
In God’s waiting room,
I’ve learned all about delay . . .
it’s where He taught me to trust Him
for my tomorrows and today!

be of good courage, and he
shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on

A Walk Worthy Of My Talk ~
Lord, may my walk,
be worthy of my talk
may it resonate You . . .
in all I say and do.
May it be suitable,
to You applaudable
may it be observed
as a walk reserved.
Lord, may my walk,
be worthy of my talk
may it bring to You . . .
the glory You are due.
May it be regarded,
as a walk discarded
of a list of regulations
for one of regeneration.
Lord, may my walk,
be worthy of my talk
may there be unity . . .
in their pursuit of purity!
~~~~~~~~~~
I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,
beseech you that ye walk worthy
of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

Give Me a Sense of Humor ~
Lord, give me a sense of humor,
a spirit that is light . . .
so when I feel the dreariest
my heart can sparkle bright.
Let me learn to giggle,
when something tickles me
like my baby grandson
as I bounce him on my knee.
Let me learn to chuckle,
like I did as a little girl
even when life’s tangles
pull at my thinning curls.
Let me learn to laugh aloud,
even if only to myself . . .
like when a child is playing
with no one but them self.
Let me learn to smile,
when I prefer to wear a frown
like a toddler thick in mischief
and thinks no one is around!

“Who satisfieth
thy mouth with good things;
so that thy youth is
renewed like the eagle’s.”

God, My Purity ~
God, my Purity,
my Moral Compass
following Your ways
brings true holiness.
For Your directions,
make it all so clear
how the wide way
I need to greatly fear.
God, my Wholeness,
my Decency, my Dignity
Your Word shows me how
to live a life of Integrity.
For every Scripture,
is full of Your Goodness
on how to be clothed
in Your righteousness.
God, my Purity,
my Sanctity, my Morality
Your Word brings . . .
Virtuousness into clarity!

Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God;

Like Honey ~
I hear all kinds of evil,
things spoken and said
but, I don’t let them . . .
into my heart or head.
Instead I read my Bible,
daily the Word I study
for the grace of Jesus
to me is just like honey.
Its sweetness is pure,
it comforts and soothes
closer to God my soul
it motivates and moves.
I hear all sorts of words,
that are meant to offend
but, my faith in Jesus
I will always defend.
For, like a bee to a hive,
to Him I am drawn . . .
His words of hope and peace
I’d much rather dwell upon!
~~~~~~~
Gracious words
are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul
and health to the body.
Great peace have they which
love thy law: and nothing
shall offend them.

Keep Me Humble Lord~
Humble me Lord,
into submission
prepare my heart
for the transition.
Take away the pride,
still inside of me
so more like You
I can meekly be.
Humble me Lord,
remove my smug ego
so my self-assurance
I can at last forgo.
Teach me to have,
modest obedience
so I can pledge to you
my full allegiance.
Keep me humble Lord,
so I may bring You honor
keep my spirit meek . . .
so my pride I can conquer!
~~~~~~~~~~
A man’s pride
shall bring him low:
but honour shall uphold
the humble in spirit.

Repentant Tears ~
Repentant tears,
begin to fall . . .
as soon as one
hears the call.
From the Spirit,
of the Holy One
who gave His life
for everyone.
Down somewhere,
in the heart deep
a soul can’t help
but to sob and weep.
For once it encounters,
Jesus’ love and grace
tears flow thankfully
down it’s grateful face.
Repentant tears,
never stop falling
for they always hear
repentance calling!
~~~~~~~
The Lord is nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart;
and saveth such as be of
a contrite spirit.

A New Life In Christ~
A new life in Christ,
works needed no more
now grace and love
opens heaven’s door.
For all things old,
no longer acceptable
once Jesus became . . .
our sin’s receptacle.
A new life in Christ,
death to the law
no longer under
it’s working claw.
For Jesus died,
to set us all free
so under bondage
we’d no longer be.
A new life if Christ,
a matter of the heart
a gift to each of us . . .
only God can impart!
~~~~~~~~~~
For by grace are ye saved
through faith; and that not
of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:
For with the heart man believeth
unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession
is made unto salvation.

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

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!~~~~~~~

"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
