His Life, Not Mine ~
Lost in Jesus,
His life, not mine
His will for me
now to go fine.
Lost in Jesus,
for His own sake
so from the world
I’d make a break.
Lost in His love,
cursed no longer
His grace for me
makes me stronger.
Lost in His hope,
my cross to bear
my life now
rests in His care.
Lost in Jesus,
not my life to live
now that my heart
to Him I give!
~~~~~~
And he that taketh
not his cross,
and followeth after me,
is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for
my sake shall find it

A Calming Shush ~
He stills the waves,
to a calming hush
He gives His peace . . .
as storms at us rush.
He silences the seas,
to a tranquil lull
He grants us strength
when ours is dull.
He quiets the storms,
the winds He subdues
He gives us faith
when ours we lose.
He quiets the streams,
to a tranquil creek
He sends us power
when ours is weak.
He stills our souls,
to a calming shush . . .
He relieves our fear
with a soothing hush!
~~~~~~~~
He maketh the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still.

With A Heart Wholly ~
Lord, help me to seek,
You whenever I am weak
with a heart wholly
devoted to You solely.
Guide me in Your ways,
the rest of my living days
keep me on the path
leading away from Your wrath.
Lord, help me to be wise,
see things through Your eyes
so I may always know
the worthy way to go.
Help me to be earnest,
in knowing Your purpose
whenever I should doubt
may to You I stay devout.
Lord, help me to seek,
You when things are bleak
give my heart a nudge
so from You I’ll never budge!
~~~~~~~~
Blessed are they that keep
his testimonies, and that seek
him with the whole heart.

Strength In Weakness ~
Weakness allows in us,
Jesus’ strength to flow
it makes us meek
so His power we’ll know.
It makes us proclaim,
when I’m weak I’m strong
it makes our faith firm
when trials come along.
Weakness allows in us,
Jesus’ grace to be
sufficient each day
for everything we need.
It helps us to endure,
the tests and the trials
for His grace is the key
to our spiritual vitals.
Our weakness keeps,
Jesus’ grace moving . . .
so His strength in us
can continue improving!
~~~~~~~
And he said unto me,
My grace is sufficient for thee:
for my strength is made perfect
in weakness. Most gladly therefore
will I rather glory in my infirmities,
that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

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
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
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,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
