Colossians 3:15

Hard To Be Joyful ~

It’s hard to be joyful,
with uprisings everyday
it’s difficult to see
so many on the wide way.

It’s hard to be happy,
with wars happening
it’s hard to listen to
different sides arguing.

It’s hard to be elated,
as the world is being rocked
it’s tough to be positive
when your beliefs get knocked.

It’s hard to be jubilant,
with so many people dying
it’s hard to believe
the untruthful and the lying.

It’s not easy to be joyful,
when the world’s falling apart
and so I pray dear Lord . . .
bring peace into my heart!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 51:12

Restore unto me the joy
of thy salvation; and
uphold me with thy free spirit.

Matthew 24:7

For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes,
in divers places.

John 16:33

These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Don’t Lose Heart ~

Be of good courage,
in this world fallen
into the devil’s trap
do not fall in.

For as we wait,
for Jesus to return
we need to be able
his lies to discern.

Be of great faith,
be confident and sure
let your mind be strong
so that you may endure.

For as we face,
for our belief threats
our hope and trust in God . . .
will be our greatest assets.

Be of good courage,
be bold, brave and smart
so as we wait for Jesus . . .
we will not lose heart!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 27:14

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

Proverbs 18:21

Keeping My Tongue ~

Lord, keep my tongue,
from speaking any evil
let me not give it over
for the use of the devil.

Instead let it be used,
to offer praise to You
in all that I say . . .
and in all that I do.

Lord, let me not have,
lips that are loose
so they’ll not become
on others a noose.

Let them not be hurtful,
or cause any pain
let them not be foolish
or be used in vain.

Lord take my tongue
and my lips too . . .
use them both only
to bring glory to You!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 34:13

Keep thy tongue from evil,
and thy lips from speaking guile.

1 John 5:21

No One Greater ~

There is no other God
that I have heard of . . .
not one who can claim
the depth of His love.

For God is greater,
than any other one
not one can claim
to be His own Son.

There is but one God,
all others are idols
no other one has
the Holy Spirit’s vitals.

For God is powerful,
merciful and kind
tis why His Son came
to save all of mankind.

There is no other God,
that I have heard about
not one who is greater . . .
in this I have not a doubt!

~~~~~~~~

2 Samuel 7:22

Wherefore thou art great,
O Lord God: for there is none
like thee, neither is there any
God beside thee, according to
all that we have heard with
our ears.

Ecclesiastes 12:14

Too Many Judges ~

Too many judges
without a jury . . .
too many to condemn
others in a hurry.

So many opinions,
without a thought
so many believing
the lies being taught.

Too many hypocrites,
not enough truth
too many being
rude and uncouth.

So many viewpoints,
not enough sight
so many calling
evil now right.

Too many judges,
so many still blind . .
to the One judge
whom we’re all assigned!

~~~~~~~~

Matthew 7:1

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Revelation 20:13

And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and
hell delivered up the dead which
were in them: and they were judged
every man according to their works.
