The Spirit-Led Heart ~
A Spirit-led heart,
lives in each of us
teaching us how
in God to trust.
It shows us how,
we are to live
so hope to the lost
by faith we can give.
A Spirit-led life,
leads us to know
the way to Jesus
we need to show.
It encourages us,
to be a witness
for Jesus’ grace
and forgiveness.
A Spirit-led soul,
is bold and daring
the Good News . . .
it can’t help sharing!
~~~~~
For the Son of man is come
to seek and to save
that which was lost.

God Will Use You ~
God will use you,
to testify for Him
by causing your joy
to fill to the brim.
Then your faith,
will spill right over
bringing to Him
others much closer.
God will employ you,
to do His business
by causing your hope
to be a witness.
Then your trust,
in Jesus will flow
and others the Way
you will show.
God will use you,
any way He can
to bring the lost . . .

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!

Out On The Streets ~
Church isn’t just a place,
for us to gather and meet
nor is it the only roof
for the unsaved to greet.
For outside its walls,
is a world that’s awaiting
and the Kingdom of God . .
we need to be proclaiming.
Church isn’t just a place,
where you go once a week
nor is it the only roof
for the lost to find and seek.
For outside its doors,
are people needing to know
and the Life, Truth and Way
we need to live and show.
Church isn’t just a place,
for us to gather and meet
the real church of Jesus . . .
is out there on the street!

Mission Possible ~
Your mission today,
if you should so agree
is to share the Good News
and tell others about Me.
Your subject today,
could be anyone
who doesn’t know
what for them I’ve done.
Your mission today,
if you should decide
is to let your light shine
on the reason I died.
Your actions today,
might just save a life
and bring someone peace
instead of eternal strife.
Your mission today,
is not impossible
for with Me . . .
all things are possible!

Go ye into all the world,

I Was Hungry ~
I was hungry . . .
but you fed me not
from my thirst
I was pale and gaunt.
I had nowhere,
to lay my head
the clothes on my back
were mere threads.
I was sick,
but to me you didn’t come
you didn’t care in prison
if I was treated like scum.
I was a stranger,
but you looked away
hungry and thirsty
with no place to stay.
I needed a friendly hand,
for Iโm meek and poor
but never once to ME . . .
did you open the door!

saying, Verily I say unto you,
Inasmuch as ye did it not to one

ye did it not to me.”

Bearing Good Fruits ~
Faith that is voiced,
faith that is shared
is a faith that knows
good fruit it’s to bear.
Faith that is productive,
faith that is fruitful
is a faith God makes
for His kingdom useful.
Faith that is spoken,
faith that is conveyed
is a faith that God needs
so hearts can be swayed.
Faith that is ministering,
faith that is life-saving
is a faith in Jesus
worthy of our embracing.
Faith that is hidden,
faith that we don’t share
is a faith in God . . . .
leading others no where!
~~~~~~~
“Even so faith,
if it hath not works,
is dead, being alone.”
“Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit;
but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit,
neither can a corrupt tree
bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit
is hewn down, and cast
into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits
ye shall know them.”

Underneath The Surface ~
Underneath the surface,
below the harden crust
into someoneโs heart
plant a seed of trust.
Then each day give it,
some living-water
from the streams of life
flowing from our Father.
Donโt be discouraged,
if results you donโt first see
just pray for the seed to sprout
while down on your knee.
Ask Godย for it to take root,
to break thru the stony heart
then wait for the Holy Spirit
to come and do His part.
For underneath the surface,
a lot is going on . . .
and the seed of faith will grow
as it finds, the light of His Son!

“No man can come to me,
except the Father which
hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up
at the last day.”

Will Work For Jesus ~
Will work for Jesus,
no matter the cost
looking to save
those who are lost.
Willing to labor,
without a fee
looking for those
He can set free.
Willing to go,
ready to leave
looking to help
others to believe.
Will travel far,
wide as I need
looking for hungry
people to feed.
Willing to forsake,
life as I know
looking to plant
water, feed, and sow.
Will take up cross,
with joy and pride
looking to gather
for Jesus ~ His bride!

Only One-Step ~
It only takes one-step . . .
toย follow ย in His shoes
it only takes one heart
to spread the Good News.
It only takes one word,
to set a soul afire
it only takes one flame
for your faith to inspire.
It only takes one voice,
to make up God’s choir
it only takes one mind
to become a Gospel crier.
It only takes one Christian,
to make a real difference
it only takes one believer
willing to go the distance.
It only takes one-step . . .
planted on the ground
it only takes one heart
to turnย a life around!

should make up the hedge, and stand in the
gap before me for the land, that I should not
