The god Of This World ~
The god of this world,
blinds and darkens
the souls in this world
who to his lies hearkens.
He causes deaf ears,
hearts to be cold
he tells them the Bible
is a falsehood to behold.
He and his army,
are at war for God’s light
and to the bitter end
for it they will fight.
So they wager a battle,
with all that they can
by telling them Jesus . . .
was just a mere man.
The god of this world,
impairs the sight
of the souls in this world
so they cant see God’s light!
~~~~~~~~~~~
” In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God,
should shine unto them.”

A New Heart ~
A new heart,
is made of flesh
with Jesus’ own
it now does mesh.
It is confident,
its been forgiven
by faith its made
this decision.
A new spirit,
is one at rest
it’s one where grace
has truly blessed.
It’s filled with hope,
joy and elation
it knows Jesus
is its salvation.
A new heart and spirit,
God wants to give
so into our soul . . .
He can come and live!
~~~~~~
“A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit will I put
within you: and I will take
away the stony heart out of
your flesh, and I will give
you an heart of flesh.

Unrepentant ~
Unrepentant,
hearts not yielding
in sin they still
are abiding.
Unremorseful,
minds unfit
to their lusts
they commit.
Unashamed,
souls not saved
care not how
they behave.
Unabashed,
darkness driven
see no need
to be forgiven.
Unrepentant,
need not be
if they’d only let . . .
Jesus set them free!

The Hand of God ~
Sometimes my heart,
seems to just melt
when upon it . . .
the hand of God is felt.
His love for me,
defrosts the icy parts
as mercy and grace
into it He imparts.
Some times my mind,
just simply evaporates
when in it . . .
the hand of God penetrates.
The hope He has for me,
keeps me before Him humble
causing my pride an ego
to dissolve into a puddle.
Sometimes my heart,
and my mind liquidate . . .
when the hand of God
on them permeate!
~~~~~
“Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:

Unclean Things ~
Unclean things,
evil thrills
follow own
not God’s will.
Need saving,
God’s pity
mercy, grace
& charity.
Unclean things,
scarred and bruised
their own souls
they’ve abused.
Lust and greed,
earthy pride
rags of filth
they can’t hide.
Like a leaf,
blown away
from the Truth
they still stray.
Unclean things,
made snow-white
if they could only
see the Light!
~~~~
“But we are all as an unclean thing,
and all our righteousnesses are as
filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf;
and our iniquities, like the wind,
have taken us away.”

Faith Muscles ~
If we’re to have,
spiritual grit . . .
we must keep
our faith muscle fit.
God’s Word we must engage,
so trust can develop
then joy, peace and hope
our lives will envelop.
If we’re to be,
spiritually strong . . .
we’ll need to stop doing
what we know is wrong.
We’ll need to workout,
the sin that is hidden
and to all of our idols
we must say good-ridden.
The muscle of our faith,
we all need to exercise
for it is the very heart . . .
of our eternal prize!
~~~~~~~
“For bodily exercise profiteth little:
but godliness is profitable unto
all things, having promise of the
life that now is, and of that which
is to come.”

God Has His Best For You ~
God knows your needs,
He sees your desires
He knows when fear
inflames doubt’s fires.
God understands,
the conditions you’re under
He hears your thirst
He knows of your hunger.
God hears your pleas,
He listens to your cries
He knows you have
some unanswered why’s.
God understands,
the situation you’re in
He knows you need
to hear back from Him.
God has your best,
interests at heart
so wait and be still
until them He imparts!
~~~~~~~~
“But my God shall supply
all your need according
to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.”

Lost With Jesus ~
Lost in thought,
the Lord and me
so looking forward
to what I can’t see.
Knowing the peace,
passing understanding
keeps me for Him
eagerly awaiting.
Lost in reminiscing,
days without hope
wondering how
I ever did cope.
Thankful and grateful,
each and every day
my Father hears me
when ever I pray.
Lost in thought,
Jesus and me . . .
oh, how behind closed doors
with Him, I love to be!
~~~~~~
“But thou, when thou prayest,
enter into thy closet,
and when thou hast shut
thy door, pray to thy
Father which is in secret;
and thy Father which seeth
in secret shall reward thee openly.”

Night Sky ~
When I look out,
on the sky at night
I stand gaping . . .
at the starry sight.
I recall the days,
when I was young
and the many wishes
on them I made upon.
But, now when I see,
their starry twinkling
they have me on . . .
eternal life thinking.
Instead of wishing,
for things worldly
now my prayer is to see
gates white and pearly.
When I look out,
on the starry night
now I see my name
twinkling in their light!

he calleth them all by their names.”

Resting With My Father ~
Today I am resting,
alone with my Father
none of my worries
my soul will bother.
I am going to soak up,
the peace He imparts
I am going to let it fill
the whole of my heart.
Today I’m taking it,
with my Father easy
none of my troubles
will make me queasy.
I’m fixing my eyes,
on my treasure up above
where I’ll be surrounded
by the glory of His love.
Today I am relaxing,
with my Father all alone
I’m going to be resting
at the foot of His throne!

Come ye yourselves apart
into a desert place,

Pedal to the Metal ~
Sometimes God puts,
the pedal to the metal
He wants to see if we have
the fortitude or the mettle.
So He sends us situations,
to see how we’ll react
testing to see whether
our faith will stay intact.
Sometimes God puts,
speed traps in our day
to see if we’ll race off
or stay on the narrow way.
So He sends us warnings,
to see if Him we’ll obey
or if we’ll race by them
and not do as they say.
Sometimes God puts,
the pedal to the metal . . .
and sends to us obstacles
to see just where we’ll settle!

Soaring On Eagle Wings ~
We all fly on,
broken wings
we all cry over
lost things.
We all fall,
into despair
we all think
no one cares.
We all lose,
our way
we all feel
not another day.
We all fight,
with unrest
we all try
to do our best.
But we who fly,
on eagle wings
can soar . . .
above these things!
~~~~~~
“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.”

For Those Who Love God ~
For those who love God,
we know He is working
His purpose in our lives
for the good He’s preparing.
He uses our weary moans,
and our thankful sighs
He uses our lowest lows
and our highest highs.
For those who love God,
we know there’s a reason
we know He is working
in us in every season.
He uses the sunny days,
and long stormy nights
He uses the dark times
and the one shining bright.
For those who love God,
we know He has a purpose
for with a great price . . .
our lives He has purchased!
~~~~~~
“And we know that all things
work together for good
to them that love God,
to them who are the called
according to his purpose.”

A Heavenly Conversation ~
Today I decided,
to have a conversation
with God in heaven
about His expectations.
So I inquired of Him,
what He wanted from me
He responded simply with
believe in what you can’t see.
As we continued to converse,
I told Him about my fears
He said keep to trusting Him
for in heaven there’s no tears.
I asked Him how in paradise,
with Him I could forever be
He said by the grace of His Son
and the faith dwelling inside me.
Today God and I,
had an honest discussion
and to His kingdom . . .
He gave me the instructions!
~~~~~~~~
“For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look
for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ:”

Look Not ~
Look not to the past,
don’t stop and turn your head
instead look to the future
with Jesus up ahead.
Don’t reminisce,
on that which is already done
rather let your heart
to Jesus be eternally drawn.
Look not to the past,
remember not your regrets
instead look to the future
and the soon coming events.
Don’t agonize,
over what once gave you pleasure
rather let your mind
dwell on your heavenly treasure.
Look not to the past,
don’t look to where you’ve been
instead look onto the cross . . .
and the washing of your sin!
~~~~~~~~
“Brethren, I count not myself
to have apprehended:
but this one thing I do,
forgetting those things
which are behind,
and reaching forth unto
those things which are before,
I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

A Faithful Servant ~
Jesus wants you to be,
a faithful servant
He wants you to have
a love for Him fervent.
He will not force you,
you must come willingly
following after Him
is to be done voluntarily.
Jesus wants you to be,
separated unto Him
a decision that is more
than just a passing whim.
He wants you to go out,
and be for Him a witness
He wants you to help Him
with His Father’s business.
Jesus want you to be,
a willing bondslave . . .
He wants you to share
how souls He can save!

called to be an apostle,

Jesus Is Waiting ~
When your heart is heavy,
when it’s weighted down
when hopelessness has . . .
your faith tied and bound.
Know Jesus hears,
your cries of despair
and He’s waiting for you
to give Him your care.
When your eyes are filled,
with nothing but tears
when your heart pounds
with the beat of your fears.
Know Jesus sees,
each streak on your face
and He’s waiting for you
to seek more of His grace.
When your hopes,
have all but crashed
and your dreams
have been dashed.
Know Jesus knows,
your disappointment
and His love for you
is your healing ointment!

hath no man than this,
that a man lay down

Why Are You Weeping ~
Why are you weeping
why the tears
why do you live out
all of your fears?
What is your sorrow,
what is your grief
what has you living
in disbelief?
Who made you think,
My love wasn’t true
who made you believe
I would desert you?
Where is your hope,
who made you doubt . . .
that from the grave
I would come out?
Why are you weeping,
what has you crying
your faith in Me . . .
was worth My dying!

‘Woman, why are you weeping?'”

This Is My Hope ~
This is my hope,
this is it for me
this is my eyes set
on what I can’t see.
This is my desire,
this is all I need
that’s why to Jesus
my life I now heed.
This is my faith,
this is all I got
this is my belief
Jesus my sins bought.
This is my trust,
this is my take
Jesus died and rose
for my soul’s sake.
This is my hope,
it can be yours too
when you ask Jesus . . .
to dwell inside of you!
