To God Be The Glory ~
To God Be the Glory,
this is why I write . . .
to His honor
for His delight.
Sharing my needs,
up lifting yours
so together our hope
we can explore.
To God be the glory,
to Him be the praise
for knowing His Word
to following His ways.
Praying to God,
learning to be still
so we can understand
His most perfect will.
To God be the glory,
this is why I do write . . .
using the grace given me
to shine His saving light!

“His lord said unto him,
Well done,
good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful
over a few things,
I will make thee ruler
over many things:
enter thou into
the joy of thy lord.”

Using Our God Given Gifts ~
Everyone has a ministry,
each one of us has a gift
some plant the good seed
others give it a good old sift.
Some of us are called,
into the world to go out
others are lead to stay home
and help those who are without.
Some are Bible preachers,
teachers and instructors
some are Gospel singers
others the choir conductors.
Some are the prayer chain,
others the church greeters
some are the encouragers
others the floor sweepers.
Some bake and cook,
others perform the office work
some do the ushering
others are the church’s clerk.
Everyone has a ministry,
and we must put it to use
for they are a gift from God
so good works we can produce!

“For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should
walk in them.”

With All My Heart ~
Lord, may I cling to You,
with all of my heart
may nothing ever cause
the two of us to part.
May I obey the words,
You once gently spoke
to love others as myself
even if I am provoked.
May I walk in the steps,
of righteous, holy living
so I may never have
any doubt or misgivings.
May I keep following,
all of Your commands
may I serve only You
as Your Word demands.
May I use the gifts,
that to me were given
so I can spread the Word
that all can be forgiven.
Lord, may I serve You,
with all my heart and soul
may over both of them
You have complete control!
~~~~~~~~~
“To love the Lord your God,
and to walk in all his ways,
and to keep his commandments,
and to cleave unto him,
and to serve him
with all your heart
and with all your soul.”

Using our Gifts ~
Lord, to all you have given,
gifts to which You’ve entrust
so many diverse talents
You have given each of us.
You have endowed us all,
with spiritual abilities
so many of us are blessed
with unique qualities.
You awarded each one,
with their own personality
so together we can be one
regardless of our specialty.
We all have the capability,
but, sadly not the desire
to use our gifts and talents
to enlighten and inspire.
Lord, if we chose to use,
the gifts You’ve given us
just think how many more . . .
in You, would place their trust!

‘As every man hath received the gift,
even so minister the same one to another,
as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
