The Gospel of Grace ~
I believe in the Gospel of grace,
by faith and by faith alone . . .
I believe only through Jesus’ blood
the sins of mankind are atoned.
I believe grace cleanses,
the effects of evil and sin
I believe Jesus our very souls
died so them He could win.
I believe grace pardons,
the guilty and shamed face
I believe Jesus upon Himself
took the brunt of our disgrace.
I believe grace heals,
the hurt, the pain, the ache
I believe Jesus our hearts
can soften, reform and remake.
I believe grace gives rest,
to the depressed and friendless
I believe Jesus came to save
all who are lonely and hopeless.
I believe in the Gospel of grace,
by faith and nothing more . . .
I believe God’s gift of grace
redeems, heals and restores!

“For by grace are ye saved
through faith;
and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God:”

At Jesus’ Feet ~
I found God’s grace,
at Jesus’ feet
I found forgiveness
there at His feet.
I found redemption,
at Jesus’s feet
I found perfect love
there at His feet.
I found pity,
at Jesus’ feet
I found mercy
there at His feet
I found Truth,
at Jesus’ feet
I found eternal joy
there at His feet.
I found Life,
at Jesus’ feet
I found the Way
there at His feet.
I found hope,
at Jesus’ feet
I found healing
at my Savior’s feet!

We Need A Miracle ~
Lord, on this day of celebration,
of freedom and liberty
I am so sad to see . . .
in our country so much hostility.
It grieves my heart,
to see the hateful division
I cringe at the thought
of the future, I envision.
It sickens my stomach,
when I watch the nightly news
at the violence stemming
from those with opposing views.
I wish we’d come together,
on this night of elation
and see our individual need
for Jesus and salvation.
Lord, on this day of celebration,
we need a healing of our land
for, it will take a true miracle . . .
if united we are to stand!
~~~~~~~~
“If my people,
which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.”

Springtime Is In The Air ~
Springtime is in the air,
I can feel its warming trend
though it’s not really here
I know it’s around the bend.
Each day I eagerly await,
for the blessings of Spring
knowing in my weary soul
God will do a new thing.
Springtime is in the air,
I can see its early bloom
melting away the aches
of winter’s chilly gloom.
For Springtime brings,
re-birth and revival
a heart rendering calm
upon its sunny arrival.
Springtime is in the air,
I hope you can feel it too
for it’s God’s promise . . .
the winter soul He’ll renew!
~~~~~~~~
“For, lo, the winter is past,
the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;

is come, and the voice of the turtle

God of All Grace ~
God of all grace,
mercy and favor
Father of Jesus
my Lord, my Savior.
Strengthen me,
with Your power
perfect my faith
in this dark hour.
God of all grace,

slather on me
Your healing balm.
Comfort me,
in this storm
a miracle I need
for You to perform.
God of all grace,
mercy and favor
let not my trust
in You ever waiver!

“But the God of all grace,
who hath called us unto his
eternal glory by Christ Jesus,
after that ye have suffered

The Hand of God ~
I’ve felt the hand of disappointment,
slap me across the face
I’ve handled discouragement
without finesse and grace.
I’ve felt the sting of rejection,
burn from head to toe
I’ve handled the loneliness
by hiding in my own shadow.
I’ve felt the weight of despair,
hanging heavy on my heart
I’ve handled the agony
in ways not always smart.
I’ve felt the pain of self-loathing,
like a deadly cancer spread
I’ve handled the mockery
by repeating what others said.
I have felt the hand of God,
touch my life within . . .
now I am only disappointed
if I don’t spend time with Him!
~~~~~~
” Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou
disquieted within me?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.”

Grace to The Rescue ~
Grace restores,
the broken pieces
fills in the cracks
smooths the creases.
Grace heals,
the heart that aches
mends the wounds
patches the scrapes.
Grace renews,
the mind unraveled
reinforces the thoughts
that have been tangled.
Grace reaffirms,
the soul wanting
provides the strength
brings the calming.
Grace restores,
heals and renews
Grace always comes
to our rescue!

Drawing Closer to God ~
To draw closer to God,
we must be willing
to open our hearts
to spiritual healing.
Healing of the pain,
others inflected on us
healing of the hurt
so we can learn to trust.
To draw closer to God,
we must be open to
letting His Spirit
make all things new.
Newness of thought,
transformation of mind
letting go of the old
so peace we can find.
To draw closer to God,
we must be willing . . .
to make room in our hearts
for His Spirit’s indwelling!
~~~~~~~
“And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of
the living God;
as God hath said,
I will dwell in them,
and walk in them;
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.”

Thankful for Spring ~
Lord thank You,
for Springtime
for the harmony
heard on its chime.
For the renewal,
of the early rain
for the healing
of winter’s pain.
Lord thank You,
for Spring’s flight
for the retreat
of its early light.
For the warmth,
it lazily brings
for the melody
heard on its wings.
Lord thank You,
for Spring’s gift
for giving my face . . .
a needed Son lift!

There is A Cry ~
There is a cry,
deep in my heart
a plea I make upon
a new year start . . .
Transform me Lord,
teach me your ways
instruct and train me
the rest of my days.
Test me Lord,
try me through
impress on me
the image of You.
Touch me Lord,
heal me inside
so Your Spirit
will always abide.
Think of me Lord,
forget me not
keep me always
in Your thought.
Rely on me Lord,
to follow Your will
believe I’ll wait
trust me to be still.
There is a cry,
for God to impart
into my soul . . .
His very own heart!
~~~~~~~~~~
“I will cry unto God most high;
unto God that performeth
all things for me.”
“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.”

We Are All Wounded ~
We are all wounded,
from the battles of life
we all carry with us
scars from the strife.
We have all suffered,
the pain of depression
each of us has felt
the sting of rejection.
We are all wounded,
damaged in some way
we all carry with us
the hurts of yesterday.
We all need healing,
from the harm done
we all need someone
to whom we can run.
We are all wounded,
in need of comforting
we all need Jesus . . .
to ease our suffering!

Words Unspoken ~
Into the vast recesses,
of a heart-broken . . .
are words left unsaid
too painful to be spoken.
Buried so deep within,
words, unable to surface
the broken heart longs . . .
for meaning and purpose.
Too hard to conjure up,
more difficult each new day
tears are the only words . . .
grieving hearts, have to say.
Words with no real rhyme,
for they cannot even reason
why they are so dry . . .
in this, the wettest of seasons.
But, they must be released,
these words, left unspoken
for it’s the only way . . .
God can heal ~ the heart broken!
~~~~~~~~~
Revelation 21:4
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”

it brings to our soul relief.

Deepening Faith ~
Thank You God for this time,
of sorrow, pain and grief
I know You sent it to me
to test my true belief.
Though, I don’t understand,
exactly Your reasoning
I can feel my faith . . .
in You deepening.
As I continue on the path,
I know You will heal . . .
the ache and the sadness
that today, I still feel.
I know You have a plan,
for every one of us . . .
and I know of no one else
in whom I can truly trust.
And so I’ll wait for You,
to bring me out my despair
and until such time . . .
Your faithfulness, I’ll declare!

A Psalm of Peace ~
Mourning ~ greets me,
with a peaceful Psalm
washing over me . . .
like a healing balm.
The soothing effect,

The ointment of peace,
repairs daunting dreams
a Psalm of peace leads me
to quiet, calming streams.
My soul finds its comfort,
in a God who’ll not forsake
who’s peace flows within me
the moment that I awake.
The salve of restoration,
mends the damage done
renews me each new day
with the rising of the Son.
Morning greets me,
with a peaceful Psalm
joy washes over me . . .
like a healing calm!

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
