He Lifted Me Up ~

Once I was broken,
beaten and down
then came my Savior
to bring me around.

Who would believe it,
who would have known
Jesus thought of me . . .
as one of His own.

He lifted me up,
high off the ground
making my steps
solid and sound.

Heavenly blessings,
He wants to give
sinful indiscretions
He came to forgive.

He lifted me up,
high off the ground
making my steps
solid and sound.

Angels of mercy,
He sends my way
helping me to walk
on these feet of clay.

Once I was broken,
beaten and down . . .
but, because of Jesus
I’ll receive life’s crown!

~~~~~

Psalm 40:2

“He also brought me up
out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my steps.”

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation:
for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown
of life, which the Lord hath
promised to them that love him

Remain Steadfast ~

When under pressure,
steadfast remain . . .
then from temptation
you will abstain.

Then the crown of life,
you will surely win
for you stood the test
over besetting sin.

When you suffer,
rejoice in your hope
and God will give you
the grace to cope.

Then the character,
God wants in you to see
will be the one . . .
you’re not ashamed to be.

When under pressure,
and you need assurance
ask Jesus to give you . . .
the faith of endurance!

~~~~~~

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to
them that love him.

Romans 5:3-5

And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience; and
experience, hope:

And hope maketh not ashamed;
because the love of God is shed
abroad in our hearts by the
Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

The Hands That Molded You ~

The hands that molded you,
will never let you fall . . .
they’ll always lift you up
when on them you call.

They will uphold you,
when you’re feeling weak
in love they’ll enfold you
when comfort you seek.

The hands that formed you,
are strong and steady
when trials come along
they’ll help you to be ready.

They will wrap around you,
in them courage you will find
they’ll defend and protect you
bring to you peace of mind.

The hands that molded you,
will never let you down . . .
they’ll be the same ones
handing you life’s crown!

Isaiah 64:8

“But now, O Lord, thou art our father;
we are the clay, and thou our potter;
and we all are the work of thy hand.”

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to
them that love him.

On A Road Trip ~

I’ve been on a road trip,
for many of years . . .
some days filled with joy
others soaked in tears.

It hasn’t been an easy ride,
God knows its been hard
but His love left me . . .
by the pain unscarred.

At times it was a struggle,
others were but a breeze
and often I found myself
down on both my knees.

I know it is not over,
until God says so . .
so I’m going to endure
till it’s time for me to go.

I’ve been on a road trip,
filled with up and downs
but, I won’t give up . . .
until I get my life’s crown!

~~~~~~~~

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth
temptation: for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised to
them that love him.

Winning Life’s Crown ~

When you’re discouraged,
feeling down in the dumps
you need to give yourself
in Jesus a joy jump.

For He can bring you out,
of that pit you are in . . .
once you start to focus
on the Goodness of Him.

When you’re disenchanted,
with the world around you
you need to give yourself
a more heavenly view.

For God has a mansion,
filled with numerous rooms
where tears, sorrows and death
no longer lurks or looms.

When you’re feeling sad,
discouraged and down
just think about Jesus . . .
and winning Life’s Crown!

Without The Blood ~

 

Without Your blood,
Lord, we’d still be lost
without Your truth . . .
we’d still be dross.

Without Your grace,
we’d still be hopeless
without Your mercy . . .
we’d still be worthless.

Without Your atonement,
Lord, we’d still be doomed
without Your forgiveness . . .
we’d still by sin be consumed.

Without Your love,
we’d still be lifeless
without Your crucifixion
we’d still be helpless.

Lord, without Your blood,
we’d still be sinners
without Your sacrifice . . .
there’d be no crown winners!

~~~~~~~~~~

Hebrews 9:12

Neither by the blood of goats
and calves, but by his own blood
he entered in once into the
holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us.

James 1:12

Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation:
for when he is tried,
he shall receive the
crown of life, which
the Lord hath promised
to them that love him.

The Daughter of A King ~

I am a daughter of a King,
royalty flows through my veins
I am the child of a Prince
in my heart He lives and reigns.

I am an heir to a mansion,
with walls of pure gold
where precious gem stones
shine brilliant and bold.

I am a daughter of a King,
I have a royal destiny
my citizenship is in heaven
tis where I’ll spend eternity.

I have an eternal treasure,
that is waiting just for me
the crown of life I will wear
when with my Lord I’ll be.

I am a daughter of a King,
waiting for my inheritance
I am the child of a Prince
I can say with all assuredness!

~~~~~~~

Galatians 3:26

“For ye are all the children
of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”

1 Peter 1:4

” To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled, and that fadeth
not away, reserved in heaven for you”

Revelation 21:18-19

And the building of the wall
of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold,
like unto clear glass.

And the foundations of the wall
of the city were garnished
with all manner of precious stones.”

James 1:12

“Blessed is the man that
endureth temptation:
for when he is tried,
he shall receive the crown of life,
which the Lord hath promised
to them that love him.”

Victory’s Crown ~

~For His Glory by Chris Reinecke free photo #8400

On the troubled sea,
blinded by wind and foam
my heart is set to sail . . .
towards my eternal home.

The rise of each crashing wave,
tests my faith once more
but, I’m determined to ride them out
till I land on heavens shore.

The raging swells I will fight,
I’ll not give up on Thee
for my soul is anchored to the One
with whom I am meant to be.

Every gust of the angry wind,
seeks to take me down
but, I will stand up to their wrath
till I receive victories crown.

Though the seas are troubled,
and have their sights out for me
I’ll endure each battering wave
for my sails Lord are set on Thee!

~~~~~~~~~~~

James 1:12
King James Version

“Blessed is the man
that endureth temptation:

for when he is tried,
he shall receive
the crown of life,

which the Lord hath promised
to them that love him.”
