BROTHER AND SISTER

 

A brother and a sister

had more than one issue.

You would never think,

this would happen to these two.

It carried on for some time,

with no glimmer of hope.

Great memories in the past,

went up in smoke.

A death in the family,

didn't draw them closer.

There was  no remorse,

they became more bitter.

Until tragedy struck again,

the brother lost a friend.

His intentions changed drastically,

he wanted his life end.

But God had different plans,

that got his attention.

Reconcile with your sister,

he did it without hesitation.

The phone calls and a visit,

brought tears and laughter.

A sudden reconciliation,

and a best time ever.

It was our awesome God,

that brought them back together.

Now they'll always be,

a brother and sister.  

LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAID

 

The world can tell you,

what you want to hear.

Their teachings are appealing,

to those with itching ear.

It can lift you up,

it's all about you.

Whatever makes you happy,

that's what you do.

Their premise is always on,

do it your way.

Forget about anyone else,

listen to what they say.

Jesus warned this is a sin,

but many will take this path.

But we know our soul,

is worth more than that.

Because we listen to,

what Jesus had said.

And we believe in him,

we look forward what's ahead.

We find out in the end,

we'll have no regret.

We commit to Jesus,

eternal life is what we get.

WHAT MATTERS THE MOST

 

If I have faith,

that can move a mountain.

Have a gift of prophecy,

and preach to a thousand.

Have an angelic voice,

for praising and singing.

It may seem great,

but without love I'm nothing.

If I have the knowledge,

to impress many people.

I can quote many scriptures,

that's in the Bible.

Take care of the widows,

and donate to charities.

But if I don't love,

then I gain nothing.

If I sing to the Lord,

and praise him all day long.

But if there's no love,

then I'm a resounding gong.

So even at my best,

is not going to be enough.

What matters the most.

I do it with love.

ONLY GOD'S WORD

 

A world filled with darkness,

the evil targets our mind.

We can't ignore the Bible,

and not find the time.

My Bible is not somewhere,

where it's collecting dust.

But I open and read it, 

to a God I can trust.

It reveals the truth,

when I look inside the cover.

It teaches me it's Jesus,

as my Lord and Savior.

The Bible keeps me focused,

to live the right way.

While the evil around me,

tries to lead me astray.

But it doesn't stop there,

it's more than that.

It points me in the direction,

where God directs my path.

It's only God's Word,

that has been proven.

I rely on his promises,

that he has given.

Let the Word of God,

dwell in you richly.

So you can be saved,

by his wisdom and teaching.

FORGIVE ONE ANOTHER

 

The Bible clearly states,

if we have any grievances.

If we bear any grudge,

or have any bitterness.

We should reach out,

and forgive without hesitation.

Remember God forgave us,

in our situation.

With any type of unforgiveness,

shows the love we lack.

Our actions show disobedience,

this isn't how we act.

It keeps us in bondage,

 a self-consuming anger.

It only harms us,

it doesn't hurt the transgressor.

We are to reconcile,

to whoever it may be.

We let go of the hurt,

which will set us free.

Therefore, we obey God,

then there's no debate.

There is no division,

nor any type of hate.

WHEN GOD SPEAKS

 

When God speaks,

we can be certain.

God has a purpose,

so we always listen.

When God says no,

to any prayers we say.

We can be assured,

he has a better way.

When God makes a promise,

there is no doubt.

That whatever he said,

he will carry it out.

When God says give thanks,

on all occassions.

We should be grateful,

for his blessings and provisions.

When God says pray,

we call on him.

With all kinds of requests,

and repent for our sin.

So when God speaks,

they are not idle words.

They are our life,

so we obey the Lord.

FAITHFUL SERVANT

 

When we face any trial,

let's run with endurance.

So we can finish the race,

God set before us.

But we don't do this alone,

God is in our presence.

The Lord is our helper,

we say this with confidence.

The Lord is our strength,

and our protector.

He is our refuge,

and also our provider.

He's faithful to his Word,

so we continue our journey.

By faith we can overcome,

any type of adversity.

Then on judgment day,

we can be certain.

To hear the Lord say,

well done faithful servant.

well done faithful servant.

BEAUTY OF GOD'S CREATION

 

I could walk across,

the vast area of land.

What I could see,

was created by God's hand.

The waves of the ocean,

that reach the sandy beach.

Billions of stars at night,

that we could never reach.

The sun shines brightly,

that showcase the green valleys.

Across the whole landscape,

and reflect on every sea.

The view of the mountains,

that tower below the sky.

Flowers spread across the fields,

and enjoy watching the birds fly.

The rest of the wildlife,

of every type of creature.

Both large and small,

and their unique features.

I could travel many places,

and on every journey.

What a beautiful scenery,

that I get to see.

BY THE GRACE OF GOD

 

God has warned us,

about the danger.

When we sin against him,

and display anger.

It gives Satan a foothold,

he tempts us with deception.

That will lead us astray,

and in the wrong direction.

Without God's salvation,

there's severe implications.

The Word of God tells us,

it leads to eternal separation.

By the grace of God,

he provided the answer.

Repent and believe,

in our Lord and Savior.

Do not harden your hearts,

on this serious matter.

Our God is merciful,

for he will freely pardon.

Because he loves us,

he has shown his patience.

But we can't ignore,

there needs to be repentance.

WE WERE MADE FOR GOD

 

Life is not about abundance,

but seeking God first.

He has something better,

than anything else on earth.

Life is not about our way,

but to do God's will.

What God has promised,

he will fulfill.

Life is not about money,

more than anything else.

We should be content,

whether it's plenty or less.

Life is not about ourselves,

but what we do for others.

It's better to give,

and help one another.

So life is about, 

what God created us for.

Not about storing treasures, 

we were made for more.

We were made for God,

that's why we exist.

God provided his Word,

so we know this. 

TRUST IN THE LORD ALWAYS

 

I trust in you Lord,

and not my own understanding.

I acknowledge you Lord,

your ways are done perfectly.

I may not know what's ahead,

but you have it all planned.

You can do anything.

that no one else can.

You provided me provisions,

you didn't hold back.

You gave me wisdom,

it's something I did lack.

I submit to your ways,  

you make my path straight.

And in hard times,

you gave me strength.

Because of your sovereignty,

you have everything in control.

That you protect me,

even my very soul.

My heart belongs to you,

and everything else.

All I need is you Lord,

and nothing I possess.

ALL ARE WELCOME HERE

 

Meet me at the church,

before the service starts.

We're glad to hear,

you're going to join us.

In the house of the Lord,

we come to worship him.

We sing songs of praise,

with psalms and hymns.

We're encouraged to sing,

with the music band playing.

We glorify our God,

every Sunday morning.

We're led by our pastor,

who teaches from the Bible.

All about our Savior,

who cares about his people.

We have fellowship time,

with many activities.

You can join a group,

that includes Bible study.

You can bring a friend,

and even your family.

All are welcome here,

where people are friendly.

RIGHT OR WRONG

 

If we ignore God's Word,

then we lose sight.

We become blinded, 

to what's wrong or right.

What the false teachers preach,

which many people choose.

If we follow their way, 

our soul we'll lose.

Just like Adam and Eve,

ate the forbidden fruit.

If it's against God's will,

then we don't do it.

It's the Word of God,

that we should believe.

Not the false teaching,

that aims to deceive.

We ignore their words,

that can be appealing.

We don't make decisions,

based on how we're feeling.

What's inside the Bible,

is still prevalent today.

So we read the Bible,

to know the right way.
