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.

DO GOD'S WILL

 

I keep on living,

I'm not going to stop.

Even when I get discouraged,

I'm not giving up.

I obey the Lord,

I do what he ask.

I give it my best,

in any given task.

I have a purpose,

God uses me to fulfill.

The reason I was created,

to do God's will.

I'm called by God, 

not based on my ability.

But my obedience to serve,

and I'm willing.

There's no better way,

to live this life.

Go forth on my mission,

as long as I'm alive.

And in the end,

when I'm finished.

God will reward me,

according to what I accomplished. 

WHAT I KNOW

 

I'm so happy, 

that God loves me.

And I know his love,

goes on endlessly.

His grace and mercy,

is there every day.

The help he's provided,

when there's no way.

He cares about me,

he's there wherever I go.

He'll never forsake me,

that's what I know.

God has comforted me,

the moments I grieved.

He's done many things,

including healing I received.

The mistakes I've made,

the sins I committed.

With God's redemption plan,

I was forgiven.

So you can see now,

when I tell you this.

What my life shows,

how great God is.

  

ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

 

Our actions speak louder,

than the words we say.

So if we serve God,

people will see it on display.

When God forgives us, 

we do the same.

We show we obey,

just like we proclaim.

Since God loves us,

and we believe it's true.

We are to love God,

and love others too.

When God provides for us,

we share with one another.

Whether plenty or less,

God loves a cheerful giver.

If we say we have faith,

it'll show by our good deed.

We don't hesitate to help,

when there's a need.

When we do God's will,

and put aside our ways.

We're committed to God,

and give him praise.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY

 

Everyone has a story,

a life changing moment.

It defines who we are,

and we should share it.

I came across a man,

who had a story to tell.

What he had to say,

it did not go well.

He was a go getter,

who was stricken with an illness.

Despite many different tests,

they made no progress.

But he didn't give up,

he decided to pray.

Let God take over,

and do it his way.

Days became weeks,

with many sleepless nights.

So he kept praying,

help me win this fight.

With witnesses around,

he suddenly was healed.

They called it a miracle,

his prayer was answered.

When he turned his focus,

and relied on God's grace.

Then he finally realized,

why this trial took place.

He was drawn closer to God,

in the midst of strife.

Now he can say, 

God changed his life.

BE LIKE JESUS

 

Do what Jesus did,

love like Jesus loves.

Say what Jesus said,

forgive like Jesus does.

Stand on his promises,

pray like Jesus taught.

Know he's always here,

there's never a time he's not.

Learn about our Savior,

that includes his love.

It's much more than,

we can measure or think of.

The greatest love shown,

was what Jesus did.

He died on the cross,

for all our sins.

Remember the story,

about the Good Samaritan.

Jesus did it by example,

so we do it.

If we love Jesus,

we want to be like him.

So in all our actions,

we do what Jesus did.

ODE TO VOLUNTEERS

 

He may seem ordinary,

but his desire shows.

He makes people happy,

wherever he goes.

He has this goal,

that keeps him going.

Not to earn money,

but volunteer in helping.

It can be anyone,

even in the neighborhood.

To someone grieving,

or someone homebound.

It could be a friend,

or someone in the family.

There may be a stranger

he happens to see.

He has this confidence,

he can make a difference.

Because of God's help,

and the Lord's guidance.

You may not know him,

but there's so many others.

That do the same thing,

be kind to one another.  

WHAT GOD CAN DO

 

What God can do,

is turn things around.

Remember the walls of Jericho,

that came crashing down.

Water came flowing out,

in a desert field.

Dead bones came alive,

many people were healed.

God displayed his power,

to defeat the enemies.

God shown his sovereignty,

to fulfill his prophecies.

He performs many miracles,

even to this day.

It may seem impossible,

God makes a way.

God is not a spectator,

whenever we struggle.

God is our refuge and strength,

in times of trouble.

There's a reason to believe,

no matter what we face.

He's faithful to his Word,

so his help will take place.
