Behold, This Is God’s Son ~

Behold, this is the Babe
this is the Boy
this is the Son of God
who brings eternal joy.

This is the Redeemer,
this is the Cornerstone
this is the Deliverer
who sits on the throne.

This is the Way,
this is the Bread of Life
this is the Truth
who died for our strife.

This is the Word,
this is the Lamb
this is the Image of God
who is the great I AM.

Behold, this is my Lord,
this is my Savior . . .
this is the One reason
I have God’s favor!

Matthew 17:5

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them: and behold a voice
out of the cloud, which said,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him.

Hear My Son ~

This is My Beloved Son,
hear what He has to say
for He is the only Life . . .

Open up your ears,
so that you may hear
how He can bring you

Take heed to His calling,
to witness for yourself
how your every sin
He took upon Himself.

This is My Beloved Son,
He’s speaking to you today

Consider It For Joy ~

Consider it for joy,
when things go wrong
consider when they do
it’s to make you strong.

For when you are tested,
endurance it will bring
so that your faith in God
will not lack anything.

Consider it for joy,
when things go amiss
consider to embrace them
not to wearily dismiss.

For when you are tried,
perseverance it will bring
so that your trust in God
will continue to spring.

Consider it all for joy,
perfect, eternal and blissful
consider how it will make . . .
all things seem less dismal!

~~~~~~~~

James 1:2-4

My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall into divers temptations;

Knowing this, that the trying
of your faith worketh patience.

But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire,
wanting nothing.

We All Have Enemies ~

We all have enemies,
of different kinds
they all want to mess
with our earthly minds.

But we who love God,
our thoughts control
for we trust Him with
all our heart and soul.

We all know people,
who cause us pain
we all see how hatred
in their hearts reign.

But we who love God,
needn’t be concerned
for their wrath for us
will be returned.

We all have enemies,
who are cruel and merciless
but we who love God . . .
have eternal joyfulness!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 12:19

Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give
place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord.

Too Wonderful For Words ~

Too wonderful for words,
too glorious to explain . . .
is what God has in store
for those in Him who remain.

No one has ever seen,
no eyes have been given
a glimpse into paradise
for those who are forgiven.

Too wondrous for the heart,
too marvelous for the mind
the glory God will bring
to those no longer blind.

No ear has ever heard,
no listener has received
the tones of pure delight
from those no more deceived.

Too wonderful for words,
too glorious to understand . . .
the blissful sights and sounds
awaiting those who withstand!

~~~~~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered
into the heart of man,
the things which God
hath prepared for them
that love him.

Closer Everyday ~

As I witness,
the sun slowly set
I feel so blessed
my Savior to have met.

For, its beauty reveals,
the glory I will see
the day Jesus returns
in the clouds for me.

As the sun unfolds,
its nightly display
the hope I’ve found
its splendor relays.

Though it signals,
the end to another day
eternal joy . . .
it brings closer my way.

As I sit here watching,
the setting of the sun
I feel so blessed
to have found the Son!

~~~~~~~~~

Matthew 24:30

“And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven:
and then shall all the tribes
of the earth mourn, and they
shall see the Son of man coming
in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.”

My Happy Place ~

Jesus is . .
my happy place
where I soak up
for me His grace.

It is in Him,
I find true rest
where with peace
I am blessed.

Jesus is . . .
my happy place
where God’s love
I embrace.

Because of Jesus,
I’ve joy endless
where no longer
am I friendless.

Jesus is . . .
my happy place
where hope fills
the empty space!

The Power of Prayer ~

There’s power in prayer,
there is a mighty force
whenever we go to
the Almighty source.

There’s hope in prayer,
it’s our defense and shield
when to God our hearts
we give to Him and yield.

There’s conviction in prayer,
it’s our eternal assurance
it helps us to run the race
with patience and endurance.

There’s joy in prayer,
it’s the means to happiness
for when we trust God
it brings His heart gladness.

There’s power in prayer,
just go to the Almighty source
there’s strength and greatness
behind His mighty force!

Mark 11:24
King James Version

“Therefore I say unto you,
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray,
believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them.”

Going Home ~

I know the valley is before me,
there’s nothing for me to fear
alone I’ll walk death’s path
but, God promises to be near.

His love shall be my comfort,
His strength will get me through
on the other side of the shadow
His light shines bright and true.

I will go to sleep in darkness,
awake to find eternal peace
His glory will bring me happiness
my joy will never end or cease.

The shadow looms ahead of me,
in a future time that is unknown
but, I haven’t anything to fear . . .
for, I’ll just be going home!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 23:4

“Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”
