I’m Just Passing Through ~

This world is not my home,
I am just passing through
and I am convinced . . .
not to weaken to its view.
Yet, it’s thrust before me,
whether I like it or not
but, I must not concede
to the lies that are taught.
It seems wherever I go,
I find much opposition
but, I refused to be
dragged into submission.
Often I’m called names,
for not giving my approval
so every day my mind
I keep in constant renewal.
This world is not my home,
Lord, I’m just passing through
and I am determined . . .
to stay on the path to You!

“And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing
of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.”

Each New Day ~

Each new day is a chance,
to renew your mind
each new dawn given you
there’s new hope to find.
Each new day is a chance,
your Bible to explore
each new dawn given you
God can heal and restore.
Each new day is a chance,
to grow in His grace
each new dawn given you
seek first to find God’s face.
Each new day is a chance,
to listen and to learn
every new dawn given you
give to God your concern.
Each new day is a chance,
to give God your strife
every new dawn given you
trust Jesus with your life!

“And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind;”

The Journey Into Faith ~

The journey into faith,
is not made by sight
but through the lens
of Jesus’ perfect Light.
It’s a simple act of faith,
in His undying grace
as His forgiveness . . .
you begin to embrace.
It begins with a step,
out of the darkness
into a new life . . .
no longer hopeless.
It fills you with joy,
to keep you pursuing
the kind of love . . .
that is daily renewing.
The journey into faith,
by sight isn’t made . . .
but by the Light of Jesus
that will never fade!
~~~~~~~~
Whom having not seen, ye love;
in whom, though now ye see him
not, yet believing, ye rejoice with
joy unspeakable and full of glory:
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Fortitude ~

Sometimes my eagle wings,
get fatigued and weary . . .
especially when this world
seems so grim and dreary.
But I know I will not faint,
nor give up the flight
as long as God remains
my strength and guiding light.
Sometimes my eagles wings,
get tattered and ripped
especially when my freedoms
from me are being stripped.
But I’m determined to fly,
against the resistance
for I know to endure I need
the wings of persistence.
Daily my eagles wings,
need to be renewed . . .
so I pray to the Lord
give me the fortitude!
~~~~~~~~
But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings
as eagles; they shall run, and
not be weary; and they shall walk,
and not faint.
But he that shall endure
unto the end, the same
shall be saved.

Mind Renewal ~
Sometimes with myself,
I get sick and tired . . .
especially since the old man
I thought had expired.
But, he seems to come back,
every now and then . . .
and I have to figure out
how to get rid of him again.
So whenever I find myself,
with the old man in a battle
on the Word I stand my ground
so my faith he can’t rattle.
For, he would love to see me,
once again in his control . . .
but, I refuse to allow him
back into my heart and soul.
Sometimes I have to fight,
the old man off with the new
that’s why I keep the spirit . . .
of my mind daily renewed!
~~~~~~~~
That ye put off concerning
the former conversation
he old man, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit
of your mind;

Mind Renewing ~
Mind renewing,
is a daily must
if we’re to grow
our faith and trust.
For with it comes,
a heart cleaning
rightness of spirit
and God leaning.
Mind renewing,
is an exercise
so to the world
we won’t compromise.
For it’s transforming,
temptation discerning
keeping our souls
from in hell burning.
Mind renewing,
is a daily must . . .
for it is how God
leads and guide us!
~~~~~~~~~~
I beseech you therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service.
And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect,
will of God.”
