If Jesus Said ~

If Jesus said,
I will never leave you
then why do we act
as if this weren’t true?

If Jesus said,
Your cares I’ll bear
then why do we think
for us, He’s not there?

If Jesus said,
I’ll forsake you not
then why isn’t this
a captive thought?

If Jesus said,
go and sin no more
then why do we still
open temptation’s door?

If Jesus said,
sufficient is My grace
then why more of it
don’t we embrace?

If Jesus said,
faith is all I require
then why don’t we
our own efforts expire?

If Jesus said,
all of these things . . .
then why onto His words
don’t we daily cling!

and hearing by the word of God.”

My Debt Reliever ~

Jesus is my stress reliever,
my care and burden taker
Jesus is my worry quieter
my perfect peace maker.

Jesus is my pain reliever,
my hurt and grief easer
Jesus is my spirit lifter
my heavy heart stiller.

Jesus is my doubt reliever,
my fear and qualm calmer
Jesus is my hope installer
my anxiety tranquilizer.

Jesus is my wound reliever,
my emotional scar healer
Jesus is my soul redeemer
my eternal life sealer.

Jesus is my grudge reliever,
my envy and ego remover
Jesus  is my pride eliminator
my depraved mind restorer.

Jesus is my debt reliever,
my sin and shame freer
Jesus is my guilt eraser
my heart and soul saver!

Isaiah 1:18

“Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the Lord: though your sins be
as scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow; though they be red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.”

The Comforter of My Soul ~

The Comforter of my soul,
never gets tired of my cares
He never gets fatigued by
my burdens that He bears.

He never turns me away,
when I go to Him for relief
the Comforter of my soul
understands all my grief.

The Comforter of my soul,
always makes things better
taking on my heavy load
gives His heart pleasure.

He makes things easier,
when all else is difficult
the Comforter of my soul
is always there to consult.

The Comforter of my soul,
takes on my every care
tis why I give to Him . . .
my every need to bear!

and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;”

Our Burden Bearer ~

I got me many worries,
an awful lot of cares
but, on my soul . . .
they don’t wear and tear.

When fears come my way,
I simply toss them aside
for, in my mind . . .
I don’t allow them to reside.

Trials may consume me,
fiery ones leap and bound
but, in my spirit . . .
they don’t stay around.

When I’m facing Satan,
I lose not one single hair
for, in my heart . . .
I don’t let His tactics scare.

I got me many concerns,
that could cause me terror
but, I give my every worry . . .
to my Burden Bearer!

Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved.

When Death Comes Suddenly ~

When someone you know dies suddenly,
it leaves a hole in your heart
when a love one is taken quickly
it tears and rips . . . your gut apart.

Sleepless nights, nightmarish days,
you do your absolute best to get by
keeping strong for everyone
but when left alone . . . all you do is cry.

You go through all the motions,
as you make the funeral plans
yet deep inside you don’t believe
this task is now . . . in your hands.

Your mind can’t really wrap around,
the shock, the horror, of it all
“It’s not true, this didn’t happen”
as you relive . . . that awful call.

On the day of the memorial,
you put on your bravest smile
walking the aisle to your seat
feels like it’s . . a million miles.

Oh, the grief, the heartbreak and the pain,
how it’s just too unbearable . . .
but, if on Jesus you cast your sorrow
He will make it ~ more than bearable!
