Sometimes I do,
what I shouldn’t do
for I know it’s not . . .
what Jesus would do.
Sometimes I act,
how I shouldn’t act
for I know it’s not . . .
how Jesus would act.
Sometimes I say
what I shouldn’t say
for I know it’s not . . .
what Jesus would say.
Sometimes I behave,
how I shouldn’t behave
for I know it’s not . . .
how Jesus would behave.
Sometimes I struggle,
Jesus to be like You . . .
and I hate saying and doing
what You wouldn’t say or do!
~~~~~~~~
Romans 7:15
For that which I do I allow not:
for what I would, that do I not;
but what I hate, that do I.

I do not trust,
those in control . . .
I won’t give them
a piece of my soul.
For it is God,
on whom I depend
and my faith in Him
to death I’ll defend.
I do not believe,
in what they say
I won’t be lead . . .
down that wide way.
For I do not fear,
what man can do
for my life oh Lord
I have given You.
To God my soul,
belongs solely . . .
for I’m on the side
of all things holy!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 118:6
The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?

Don’t be misled,
don’t be duped . . .
with bad company
don’t be grouped.
For they’ll corrupt,
your biblical thinking
and soon to sin . . .
you too will be winking.
Don’t be tricked,
don’t be fooled
by bad friends
don’t be ruled.
For they’ll pervert,
your Christian mind
and soon you will too
by satan be blind.
Don’t be conned,
don’t be confused . . .
by bad company
don’t be amused!

1 Corinthians 15.33
Be not deceived:
evil communications
corrupt good manners.

We all need,
tongue control
we all should
our lips patrol.
For the words,
we choose to use
can light a fire
with their fuse.
We all need,
to think ahead
before the words
that are said.
For the tongue,
can be unruly
spewing its own
poison cruelty.
We all need,
to give over the rein
of our tongues
for Jesus to tame!
~~~~~~
James 3:3-10
But the tongue can
no man tame; it is
an unruly evil,
full of deadly poison.

When you trust in the Lord,
you’ll want to do what is right
and pleasing Him will become
what you’ll do day and night.
You will dwell in peace,
your heart will be at rest
and you’ll touch others
so they too can feel blessed.
When faithfulness you befriend,
you’ll find an easier road
so you too can help others
with their burden and load.
When you daily follow God,
your path will be straight
so you too can lead others
to the narrow gate.
When you trust in the Lord,
and you befriend faithfulness
to others your love for Him
you will always express!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 37:3
“Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.”

Don’t let your bitterness,
make you sour . . .
lest it’ll take from you
the Holy Spirit’s power.
For, bitterness will cause,
discontentment to grow
propelling your temper
to erupt and blow.
Don’t let any resentment,
enter into your soul
lest anger and frustration
will start to take control.
For resentment ignites,
the fires of animosity
and begrudging others
only inflames hostility.
Don’t let your bitterness,
stir up resentment and strife
but rather strive to find . . .
God’s peace in your life!
~~~~~~
Hebrews 12:14-15
“Follow peace with all men,
and holiness, without which
no man shall see the Lord:
Looking diligently lest any man
fail of the grace of God;
lest any root of bitterness
springing up trouble you,
and thereby many be defiled;”

In a spiritual slump,
can’t get over the hurdle
your zeal and zest for Jesus
has all but fizzled and curdled?
Going to church each Sunday,
but getting nothing out of it
living the Way and Life
no longer a perfect fit?
Well, it’s time to get back,
to the basics of faith . . .
quit doing the opposite
of what the Bible saith.
You need to be confident,
in the God you trust . . .
keep your nose in the Word
your eyes off worldly lust.
You need to hold on to,
your hope with assurance
continue running the race . . .
with strength and endurance.
You need to reclaim your joy,
recoup your inner peace
recapture your first love . . .
then your faith will increase!

Romans 15:13
“Now the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope, through the power
of the Holy Ghost.”

Oh, Lord my Savior,
I feel so blessed
for Your love on my soul
has been impressed.
You stamped Your Word,
into my heart
now all of my days
You help me to chart.
Engraved into my spirit,
now are Your ways
leaving me, for You
a new path to blaze.
You sealed Your grace,
into my very being
so I could have hope
liberating and freeing.
Oh, Lord My Savior,
keeping impressing in me
Your Spirit’s image . . .
until You’re all I see!
~~~~~~~~
2 Timothy 1:13-14
“ Hold fast the form of sound words,
which thou hast heard of me, in faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus.
That good thing which was committed
unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.”
