THE GREAT COMMISSION

 

How will they believe,

if they don't know?

How can they commit,

if we don't tell them so?

How can they be saved,

if we don't encourage them?

If we don't take part,

what can they do then?

Jesus made it clear,

we have a task to do.

If we are Christians,

there is this truth.

We are all called,

on this great commission.

We are God's messengers,

so we have this mission.

We should embrace this role,

as Jesus follower.

So what we say and do,

points to our Savior.

We should be ready,

with everyone we meet.

To share the news.

until our mission is complete. 

THERE IS HOPE

 

I never knew the feelings,

that she held inside.

Until they told me,

the reason why she died.

The Lord only knew,

what she tried to hide.

The constant struggles,

that troubled her mind.

I've been on a mission,

since she passed away.

To find anyone else, 

with this message today.

Yes, we have setbacks,

that may seem daunting.

But we remind ourselves,

not to give up trying.

Amid all our troubles,

we find there's hope.

We call on the Lord,

he's there to help.

We were never meant,

to do this on our own.

Reach out to Jesus,

let your prayers be known.

IT'S THE WAY TO LIVE

 

Imagine how it would be,

if we put God's will first.

We follow God's way,

instead of our own interest.

When we choose to partake,

for the people's sake.

The things we do,

the impact we can make.

When we help one another,

and care for each other.

We do it with love,

there's no way better.

With passion and desire,

that comes from our soul.

The purpose to please God,

that should be our goal.

When we do all this,

we do it for the Lord.

It's the way to live,

that's what we were created for.

THANK YOU LORD

 

You gave me life,

you saved my soul.

You gave me help,

I was praying for.

You gave me love,

you showed me mercy,

You gave me grace,

when I'm not worthy.

You gave me wisdom.

you directed my path.

You gave me hope,

and more than that.

With all the provisions,

and even your blessings.

And your promise,

I'm in your presence.

Without you Lord,

I was living in sin.

Now with you Lord,

I've been forgiven.

You did all this,

because you love me.

Thank you Lord,

for everything.

GREAT IS THE LORD

 

It's the Word of God,

that reveals the truth.

To those who read it,

they will know God too.

It's the wisdom of God,

that he's willing to give.

If only we ask,

so we know how to live.

It's the peace of God,

that guards our hearts and minds.

So we're able to face,

even the darkest times.

It's the grace of God,

that provides salvation to all.

God had it planned,

long before our fall.

It's the mercy of God,

shows how gracious he is.

It's nothing we deserve,

but we're thankful for this.

It's the love of God,

that was fully displayed.

Jesus died on the cross,

so we can be saved.

It's the provisions of God,

that we all receive.

There's more he'll do,

that's what we believe.

It's the faithfulness of God,

who keeps his word.

His plans never fail, 

for great is the Lord.

GRACE OF GOD

 

We have a God,

with compassion and mercy.

And abounding in love,

for all humanity.

So when we sinned,

and death was certain.

God sent his Son,

to die for our sin.

We can't ignore this,

that would be a mistake.

We seek the Lord,

before it's too late.

So when there's grace,

there is salvation.

When there's a Savior,

there is redemption.

When there's repentance,

there is forgiveness.

When we're born again,

there's no more darkness.

So by grace of God,

our sins he forgave.

Jesus took our place,

so we can be saved. 

LIFE WITH PURPOSE

 

I live this life,

that God has given me.

According to his purpose,

that became my calling.

It is my desire,

to follow God's plan.

With help from the Lord,

the only way I can.

I live on God's Word,

to pray without ceasing.

Give thanks to the Lord,

for all his blessings.

I live on God's grace,

and his awesome love.

The strength I need,

is from God above.

I live to serve God,

and my faith stands firm.

I live on his promises,

I can count on him.

He has it all planned,

what's yet to be.

Most important of all,

he's still working on me.

TRUST THE LORD

 

If you're in midst of trouble,

or maybe it's a broken heart.

Or consumed by grief.

and you're torn apart.

Whatever you're going through,

don't let it keep you down.

I'm here to remind you,

God will turn it around.

Because one thing is sure,

he's faithful to his Word.

Something good will happen,

when you trust the Lord.

When you're stricken with illness,

with no end in sight.

Don't give up hope,

your future looks bright.

Because behind the scene,

God is working it out.

So while you pray,

there should be no doubt.

The time will come,

something good will happen.

So trust the Lord,

you're prayer will be answered.

WORDS TO PONDER

 

In any good relationship,

there's love for one another.

But when there's a disagreement,

there's a problem we can encounter.

Each one can take a stance,

and react in a bad manner.

If we're not careful,

it'll get worse than ever.

There will be times,

we face some friction.

We can always try,

to find a solution.

The way to start,

we do our part.

We look at ourselves,

what's in our heart.

Don't stoke the fire,

and release any anger.

There are many ways,

to settle the matter.

If the conflict continues,

there's never a winner.

It takes both sides,

to make it better.

DIVINE REVELATION

 

I am accountable,

in what I say and do.

It's time to examine myself,

but through God's view.

God brought to light,

what I had hidden.

That inside of me,

there was hate God forbidden.

He opened my eyes,

what I failed to see.

That inside my heart,

there was bitterness in me.

What God made known,

my anger filled with fire.

It doesn't bring righteousness,

that God desires.

He opened my mind,

that I had sinned.

Now that I repented,

I know I was forgiven.

What God had exposed,

it was a divine revelation.

So now I'm headed,

in the right direction.

IT'S GOD'S WORD

 

Inside the Bible,

God speaks to us.

So we know firsthand,

he's the one we can trust.

By reading God's Word,

we find it's all true.

Because what God said,

he will surely do.

Open up the Bible,

it's time to show.

There are many verses,

we need to know.

Discover what he said,

the promises are his.

Watch it all unfold,

and see how great he is.

What the Bible reveals,

is not just information.

God provided his Word,

for our transformation.

You can also find,

they are not idle Words.

They are your life,

so it's better to learn.

Read the Word of God,

keep it in your heart.

Treasure all his Words,

never let it depart.

Our faith will not waver.

if we make it our goal.

To read the Bible daily,

it's food for our soul.

JESUS IS ALL I NEED

 

There's nothing wrong,

that we have desires.

To achieve a goal,

or even to thrive.

To purchase material things,

that are so appealing.

And there's even more,

but as for me.

JESUS IS ALL I NEED.

If I want anything,

I have a credit card.

So to make a choice,

it's not so hard.

But if I have plenty,

or even if I have less.

The most important thing,

I remind myself this.

JESUS IS ALL I NEED.

I've seen the ads, 

every day on TV.

It's not for me,

because what I believe.

King Solomon was right,

in what he said.

All is vanity,

so I choose instead.

JESUS IS ALL I NEED.

HOPE FOR THOSE WHO MOURN

 

Tears of sorrow,

are streaming down my face.

Pool of tears lay now,

on my pillow case.

They keep pouring out,

they never stop.

It leaves me torn,

and also worn out.

There's nothing on this earth,

that can fill my void.

So it leaves me stricken,

that I can't avoid.

But I have this hope,

that keeps me going.

My faith stands firm,

even when I'm grieving,

My help comes from the Lord,

that I am certain.

It's not the question if,

but it's about when.

It is God's will,

and done his way.

And in his time,

while I pray.

There's nothing impossible,

when I include him.

God chooses the moment,

when it begins.
