KATHY'S QUEST

 


Kathy had a desire, 

not just for anything.

But life of significance,

it would mean everything.

What could it be?

was always on her mind.

So she took a trip,

and left her possessions behind.


She traveled to see,

a well known preacher.

Famous for words of wisdom,

that could really help her.

The preacher stood nearby,

teaching on God's word.

Tears filled Kathy's eyes,

on the message she heard.


"That Jesus loves you,

he wants to help you."

"He is your savior.

so believe it's true."

Kathy gave her life,

to her savior Lord.

She was forgiven,

and her soul restored.


Kathy's back home again,

all because she prayed.

She has a new life, 

since she was saved.

She found her purpose,

now she looks ahead.

She gave up her ways,

and do God's will instead.

I NEED YOU JESUS

 


My emotions betray me,

when there is trouble.

It's my self-control,

that I still struggle.

So I need a Savior,

to help me through.

I need you, Jesus,

to make me new.

I LAY DOWN MY PROBLEMS,

EVEN FROM MY PAST.

I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU,

SO I CAN BE FREE AT LAST.

I BRING MY BROKENNESS,

AND THE TEARS I SHED.

I RELY ON YOU,

AND PROMISES YOU SAID.

I had my doubts, 

I had my fears,

I lost my friend,

that brought me tears.

My worries consume me,

and now I'm weak.

So I need a Savior,

it's you I seek.

I LAY DOWN MY PROBLEMS,

EVEN FROM MY PAST.

I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU,

SO I CAN BE FREE AT LAST.

I BRING MY BROKENNESS,

AND THE TEARS I SHED.

I RELY ON YOU,

AND PROMISES YOU SAID.

WHEN I PRAY

I play it in my head.

I let it built up,

I should seek God instead.

I remember his promises,

they are all true.

God is with me,

so I know what to do.

FOR GOD TO ANSWER ME.

I KNOW AND BELIEVE,

THAT I WILL SEE.

THOUGH MY TROUBLES LINGER,

HIS HELP IS COMING SOON.

HE'LL GIVE ME STRENGTH,

AND KEEP ME ATTUNE.

When I face any problems,

I need to learn.

There's nothing more certain,

than reading God's word.

That's where I'll find,

that God really cares.

And he always listens,

to all my prayers.

SO WHEN I PRAY,

FOR GOD TO ANSWER ME.

START WITH PRAYER

 


     I bow my head,

I start to pray.

I ask the Lord,

to help me today.

I know he will,

I really believe.

I rely on him,

for everything I need.


So every morning,

before I start,

I pray to the Lord,

with an open heart.

Then something happens,

I can't explain.

I raise my voice,

and praise his name.


I get this feeling,

I need to stand.

I take this moment,

to raise my hand.

I feel his presence,

I start to sing.

I thank the Lord,

for every good thing.


I pull out my bible,

I start to read.

The promise he made,

he will always lead.

As long as I live, 

I hold on to this faith.

The Lord is with me,

with every step I take.

LIVE FOR JESUS

 


I look inside my home,

I see everything I own.

But one day will come,

this will all be gone.

Nothing I can keep,

so I think about this.

What did I accomplish,

is this what life is?


It's more than possessions,

or what I can gain.

So I should never do,

what's done in vain.

I know there is more,

and not just for me.

Now the question is,

what could it be?


The earth has nothing,

that I desire,

There's something better,

than anything I can acquire.

I find it's Jesus,

and he's been waiting.

With his open arms,

he said "abide in me"


I trust in him,

and embrace his plan.

He changed my life,

 only one who can.

So I live for Jesus,

I have all I need.

With a new purpose,

now I can proceed.

ACT OF KINDNESS

 


Let's open our arms,

let's open our heart.

Let's start right now,

and do our part.

We can reach out,

and do a good deed.

We can lend a hand,

to help someone in need.

Send a greeting card,

to show you care.

You can visit someone,

when no one else is there.

Even a warm embrace,

will do something good.

Or surprise a neighbor,

and do some handiwork.

Our words can be cheerful,

the way we say hello.

You can say I love you,

to someone you know.

An act of kindness,

in the things we do.

Is seen by God,

who will bless you.

LOVE NOT HATE

 


It's love and not hate,

that we need today.

It's love that unites us,

and not go astray.

It's love and only love,

that will show kindness.

It's only through love,

when there is forgiveness.


It's love and not hate,

that displays compassion.

It's more than just words,

it's love in action.

They're patient and understanding,

and thoughtful too.

It's love and only love,

that will help you.


It's love and not hate,

that promises are not broken.

It's love and only love,

when kind words are spoken.

It's love that says,

life is worth living.

It's only through love,

that's selfless in giving.

R U READY TO MEET JESUS?

 


Under the soil,

and under the grass.

Lies the body, 

of old man Cass.

Just before he died,

he was forgiven.

He loved Jesus,

and now he's in heaven.


Under the tombstone,

marked with his name.

Lies the body,

who gave up his fame.

He believed in Jesus,

and obeyed God's command.

God took him home,

into his promised land.


Under the ground,

and beside the grave.

Lies the body,

my best friend Dave.

He was well known,

for his candor and integrity.

He repented for his sins,

he's in heaven for eternity.


You may have plans,

for what lies ahead.

But you don't know,

if you'll be alive or dead.

Soon it'll take place,

this will all end.

So repent to Jesus,

and you'll be forgiven.

Let's use our time,

to do God's will.

Let his light shine,

and his purpose fulfilled.

about his awesome love.

what God has planned.

Share the good news,

so they will understand.

Penalty for sin is death,

but because of God's grace.

We may obtain salvation,

when Jesus took our place.


Let's finish our work,

and continue to teach.

Pray for the ones,

that we will reach.

Tell about our Savior.

in every speech.

So everyone will hear,

it's Jesus we preach.

GOD'S WILL

 


Our past failures,

never hinder God's ability.

God can use us,

even during our adversity.

Even when we're weak,

and we find no rest.

That's when we find out, 

God does his best.

When we encounter troubles,

it may look grim.

But our God is powerful,

so we rely on him.

Then we will see,

how great God is.

It brings God glory,

and he deserves this.


During our painful trials,

it will surely reveal.

How we view God,

and if our love is real.

We can allow our trials,

to make us bitter.

Or let God help,

to make you stronger.

These are the times,

we need to understand.

It's about God's will,

and his perfect plan.

Then we will see,

how great God is.

It brings God glory,

and he deserves this.
