Drop By Drop ~
Drop by drop,
hope drips in . . .
til goose bumps
form on my skin.
Shivers of glory,
tingles of peace
as each droplet
God releases.
Drip by drip,
hope seeps in
til my elation
forms a big grin.
Smiles of bliss,
cheers of delight
with each trickle
my soul it excites
Hope drips in,
drop by drop . . .
causing my heart
with joy to flip-flop!
~~~~~~~~
Now the God of hope
fill you with all joy and
peace in believing, that ye
may abound in hope,
through the power
of the Holy Ghost.

God, My Hope ~
God, my Hope,
my Future, my Home
from Your righteous way
let not my steps roam.
Make straight my way,
be my guiding light
keep me looking upwards
as earthly battles I fight.
God, my Hope,
my Eternity, my Rest
with Your loving mercies
each day my soul bless.
Keep my eyes focused,
on Your saving grace
so that I may for You
finish the faithful race.
God, my Hope,
my Strength, my Power
may my trust in You be . . .
right up to my final hour!

If God ~
If for us God has plans,
if He knows our future
why don’t we believe
and trust Him sooner?
If He has for us good things,
if He provides our needs
why don’t we follow Him
regardless of where He leads?
If God gives us joy,
if He fills us with peace
why doesn’t our faith in Him
continue to increase?
If He provides our strength
if He equips us with power
why then does our hope
turn so often sour?
If we trust and believe,
God plans and not our own
to His guidance we’d be . . .
more spiritually prone!

“For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,

to give you an expected end.

through the power of the Holy Ghost.

Joy Entered The World ~
Joy entered the world,
Truth found its way in
Grace penetrated through
all barrier’s of sin.
Love came down from heaven,
a Father’s Gift revealed
Light infiltrated into hearts
by His stripes they’re now healed.
The Way emergencies,
Jesse’s Branch shoots forth
a Savior materializes
out of a Virgin’s birth.
Peace broke though,
Flesh took on form
God’s Mercy establishes
Salvation’s only platform.
Hope descended,
God’s Favor comes to Rest
Eternal Life in His Son
finally manifests.
Joy entered the world,
a Messiah to all is born
tis why we celebrate . . .
on this CHRISTmas morn!
~~~~~~~
And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten
of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.

Onward Pressing ~
When your life,
is but a mess
when bombarded
by all the stress.
Let God have,
the weightiness
so He can take
the heaviness.
When your life,
is upside down
when each day
is a letdown.
Let Jesus take,
your despair
so He can have
all your care.
When your life,
has you stressing
into Jesus keep . . .
onward pressing!

Hope For The Future ~
Hope for the future,
and for now and today
comes when God’s plans
we follow and obey.
Hope brimming with joy,
and of peacefulness
comes when we walk
a life of faithfulness.
Hope filled with trust,
and blessed assurance
comes when we live
a life full of pureness.
Hope heart stilling,
and mind calming
comes when into sin
we keep from falling.
Hope for the future,
is our hope for the day
for we know to follow . . .
the Life, Truth and Way!

CHRISTmas Is Coming ~
CHRISTmas is coming,
I can feel the stress
the joy of the season
is becoming less and less.
I can see the crankiness,
impatience and frustration
saying Merry CHRISTmas
only brings more irritation.
CHRISTmas is coming,
I can feel the strain
the hope of the season
is going down the drain.
I can sense the pressure,
the tension and weariness
tidings of peaceful cheer
are met with dreariness.
CHRISTmas is coming,
but, through the stress I’ll cope
for the season still fills me . . .
with joy, peace and hope!

Jesus’ Promise To Us ~
Holy Spirit,
Jesus’ promise to us
may in Your strength
we learn to always trust.
You are our adviser,
our staunch advocate
our fears You help
to fully dissipate.
Holy Spirit,
our soul’s Comforter
may Your power
we fall under.
You bring us hope,
fill us with grace
the joy of our salvation
in You we embrace.
Holy Spirit,
our ever-present Helper
may we always have
Your mighty temper!

A Joy Jump ~
Some Christians,
seem to be grumpy
fussy and sulky
and a little bit crabby.
They seldom smile,
or say something nice
it’s as if their hope . . .
has turned dry as ice.
Some Christians,
seem to be uptight
I can hardly see
a flicker of light.
They barely laugh,
seldom do they grin
it’s as if their peace . . .
took one on the chin.
Oh, Lord if You see,
me being a grump
give my heart . . .
an eternal joy jump!

Back to The Basics ~
In a spiritual slump,
can’t get over the hurdle
your zeal and zest for Jesus
has all but fizzled and curdled?
Going to church each Sunday,
but getting nothing out of it
living the Way and Life
no longer a perfect fit?
Well, it’s time to get back,
to the basics of faith . . .
quit doing the opposite
of what the Bible saith.
You need to be confident,
in the God you trust . . .
keep your nose in the Word
your eyes off worldly lust.
You need to hold on to,
your hope with assurance
continue running the race . . .
with strength and endurance.
You need to reclaim your joy,
recoup your inner peace
recapture your first love . . .
then your faith will increase!

It’s All About Believing ~
It’s not about who,
got us to the starting line
it’s about believing . . .
Jesus is the One True Vine.
It’s not about what,
we were doing before
it’s about believing . . .
Jesus came to restore.
It’s not about when,
we decided to join in
it’s about believing . . .
Jesus died for our sin.
It’s not about where,
we got the Good Word
it’s about believing . . .
in the truth we heard.
It’s not about why,
we decided to trust
it’s about believing . . .
Jesus lives inside of us.
It’s not about how,
we got into the race
it’s about believing . . .
in mercy, love and grace.
It’s not about you,
and it’s not about me
it’s about believing . . . .
in what we cannot see!

My Hope Holds ~
He fills me with joy,
I overflow with His peace
my happiness in Jesus
well, how could it cease?
For, I am submerged,
in His mighty power
my hope presses through
the darkest of hours.
He saturates me,
with eager anticipation
for the day of His return
I’m drenched in elation.
I am full to the brim,
with peace, joy and love
oh, what bliss my hope holds
when I join Jesus above!

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~
There’s nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.
No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.
In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He’ll supply each provision.
When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!

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!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
