Faith Springs Forth ~

Faith springs from the heart,
as mercy falls from above
the earth becomes enriched
by the grace of Jesus’ love.

Hope dwells internally,
the seed has been planted
all who willing come to Jesus
eternal salvation is granted.

Truth descends from heaven,
peace to earth Jesus brings
the world opens up its arm
to receive its King of Kings.

Righteousness sprinkles down,
on a land parched and dry
the God of all creation hears
His creature’s thirsty cry.

Faithfulness springs forward,
the earth receives a new start
mercy and truth have kissed . . .
warming the coldest of hearts!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 85.10-12

Mercy and truth are met
together; righteousness
and peace have kissed
each other.

Truth shall spring out
of the earth; and
righteousness shall
look down from heaven.

Yea, the Lord shall give
that which is good; and
our land shall yield
her increase.

Sticky Note From God ~12.06.19~

Afternoon Ponderings~09.15.19

A Gift From God ~

A Gift from God,
a Savior born
on one starlit
glorious morn.

A Babe, a Boy
a virgin’s Son
imparting grace
to everyone.

A Man, a Prince,
a coming King
who in an blink
peace will bring.

A mighty God,
a sacrificial Lamb
the beloved Son
of the great I AM.

A Gift from God,
an eternal Friend
A Savior till  . . .
the very end!

Revelation 1:8

“I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the ending,
saith the Lord, which is
and which was,
and which is to come,
the Almighty.”

Star Search ~

A single star shinning,
on a moonless night
God’s gift to the world
wrapped up in One Light.

Wise men make the journey,
from places east and far
in search for what they know
will be the Morning Star.

With gifts they travel,
to the town of Bethlehem
knowing there they’d find
the Babe, the Christ, the Lamb.

And so they came to be,
face to face with their King
knowing He was the Prince
who eternal peace would bring.

One single, solitary star,
still beckons the world today
to follow the Light that leads . . .
to the Truth, Life and Way!

~~~~~~

John 8:12

“Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.”

One Day ~

One day every knee shall bow,
before Jesus, the King of Kings
one day every person will face
the judgment that He brings.

One day every mouth will confess,
Jesus is the Lord over every nation
one day God will get His due glory
for being the Author of all creation.

One day those who have loved Him,
will offer Him songs of praise
one day those who have refused Him
will account for their evil ways.

One day every person in the world,
will bow down and confess
Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior
every tongue, His name will profess.

One day Jesus will come again,
to rule and set up His Kingdom
one day the world will know peace
and the meaning of true freedom!

~~~~~~~~~~

Philippians 2:10-11
King James Version

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth,
and things under the earth; And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.”

Lord, I believe.
You’re the King of Kings
You’re above all other things
so, when I hear others doubt
all I want to do is shout

Your love has set us free

Got God?

You can ride through this life,
in an expense car . . .
but if you don’t got God
you won’t get too far.

You can make all the money,
to your heart’s desire . . .
but if you don’t got God
all you’ll earn is hell’s fire.

You can wear fancy jewelry,
buy the finest of clothes . . .
but if you don’t got God
you’ll have eternal woes.

You can live on an estate,
in an area ~ pricey and rich
but if you don’t got God
you’ll end up in hell’s ditch.

You can fly to the Islands,
or vacation in Rome . . .
but if you don’t got God
you’ll call hell your home.

You can sail the high seas,
on a fifty-foot yacht . . .
but if you don’t got God
you haven’t got naught.

You got to have God . . .
if you want what heaven brings
for He offers fine dining
with the King of Kings!

Matthew 19:24
King James Version

“And again I say unto you,
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
