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,

when 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.

 

SAVOR EACH MOMENT

 

You can make plans,

for someone you love.

Do everything possible,

that you can think of.

You imagine your time,

how great it'll be.

Because all you want,

is to make her happy.

But nothing is guaranteed,

especially what happens tomorrow.

Because in my experience,

it brought me sorrow.

My dreams were shattered,

the moment she passed away.

No more times together,

no more plans to make.

I faced the fact,

nothing lasts forever.

Even when I had,

the best friend ever.

This is my reminder,

don't take life for granted.

As long as I'm alive,

I savor each moment.  

I CAN DO THIS

 

I know I'm getting older,

and my strength has diminished.

One thing hasn't changed,

God's plan for me is not finished.

I have my limitations,

but I have this confidence.

What God calls me to do,

I have his assurance.

He gives me strength,

and his divine guidance.

I'm filled with the Holy Spirit,

so I can do this.

Doubts can fill my mind,

I'm not good enough.

What skills do I have,

that I can think of?

When I have these thoughts,

there's a reminder in the Bible.

It's God who equips me,

that's why I'm able.

So with each new task,

God works through me.

So I accomplish his plans,

that brings God the glory.

OUR SPIRITUAL HEALTH

 

While we may succeed,

to gain material wealth.

But have we considered,

about our spiritual health?

There's different viewpoints,

on this important matter.

There's many ways to heaven,

or we need a Savior.

What the evil preaches,

their intentions are clear.

Their message is to deceive,

but appealing to hear.

Their goal is to blind you,

from the real truth.

What God provides is grace,

that can save you.

The Bible reveals God's Word, 

salvation is freely given.

But we need to repent,

so we can be forgiven.

If we choose Jesus,

we discover he's the one.

The way, truth and life,

the only way it's done.

REMAIN STEADFAST

 

Keep on praying, keep on serving,

keep on living for Jesus.

Every moment, every day,

always seek his presence.

Keep on smiling, keep on singing,

keep praising our Savior Lord.

Keep on reading, the Holy Bible,

meditate on his Word.

Keep on striving, keep on hoping,

keep your spiritual fervor going.

Never stopping, never waver,

there's a purpose for your living.

Keep on helping, keep on sharing,

where love is always shown.

In your actions, in your words,

let it be known.

Even the times when you struggle,

remain steadfast in your trial.

Because God's will, it produces perseverance,

which is vital.

If you hold on and stand firm,

till the very end.

According to what you've done,

you will be rewarded.

MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE

 

Able, Leery and Folly,

spent time together.

Despite their differences,

and arguments with each other.

They made an effort,

to seek common ground.

They had one similar interest,

it was at the playground.

But suddenly it all changed,

when Able made a suggestion.

"Let's complete the project,

that we never finished."

With complete confidence,

Able said, "let's do it!"

Able was very capable,

he was fully committed.

But Folly scowled at Able,

"this is a crazy task."

He dismissed Able's idea,

"it's a foolish thing you ask."

"Let's try?" Able asked Leery,

he tried to convince him.

He used words of encouragement,

even though the odds were slim.

Leery's immediate reaction,

was not a complete shock.

Back and forth he debated,

when he made his remark.

Leery reluctantly said, "No,"

with mixed emotions.

Despite Able's earnest efforts,

Leery made his decision.

Able stood all alone,

mad at the two.

They should have tried,

in Able's point of view.

GOD MAKES A WAY

 

I'm pursuing my goal,

and I'm raring to go.

Any obstacles won't stop me,

because I already know.

Even if I fail,

or it's another dead end.

I rely on the Lord,

so I'll try again.

GOD MAKES A WAY,

WHEN I DON'T SEE HOW.

HE HAS IT ALL PLANNED,

FOR LATER OR FOR NOW.

SO I PRAY CONTINUALLY,

AND KEEP THIS IN MIND.

IT'S ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL,

AND DONE IN HIS TIME.

I've been turned down,

that I lost count.

I had my moments,

when I began to doubt.

When I hear the words,

I'm not good enough.

That I'm not qualified,

but I'm not giving up.

GOD MAKES A WAY,

WHEN I DON'T SEE HOW.

HE HAS IT ALL PLANNED,

FOR LATER OR FOR NOW.

SO I PRAY CONTINUALLY,

AND KEEP THS IN MIND.

IT'S ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL,

AND DONE IN HIS TIME. 

FOCUS ON THE LORD

 

A world filled with hatred,

many people are suffering.

Families split apart,

many others are grieving.

It's in the news,

there's battles across the globe.

Many people are quarreling,

is there any hope?

A feeling of anxiety,  

with worries and fear.

Evil seems to be in control,

where do we go from here?

Our faith should not waver,

in the midst of strife.

Because we have Jesus,

he's our hope in life.

We focus on the Lord,

and promises he said.

Our hope is not diminished,

so we look ahead.

Because we all know,

Jesus will appear again.

He shall bring peace,

our sorrows will end. 

WHAT I'VE LEARNED

 

From the many times,

the sermons I've heard.

The scriptures I memorized,

this is what I've learned.

There's never a limit,

how much we pray.

God never stops loving us,

even when we stray.

There's never a time,

that God is not here.

There's never a moment,

we should fear.

There's never a day,

God's mercy is not new.

Even with his promises,

they always come true.

There's never an occasion,

we stop being thankful.

Even during tough times,

we know God is always helpful.

There's always a reason,

we read God's Word.

The only way to know,

about our Savior Lord.

EVERY GOOD DEED

 

No matter where we go,

it can be any place.

We make people smile,

to light up their face.

We say encouraging words,

that begins with a greeting.

We're helpful and kind,

and we're always friendly.

It should matter to us,

in what we do.

Do everything in love,

like God does too.

It's a God given task,

that should inspire us.

To take some time, 

we do all this.

At any given moment,

there's people with a need.

We can make a difference,

with every good deed.

We make a commitment,

we do our part.

When the opportunity arrives,

we're ready to start.

WE PUT GOD FIRST

 

When we love God,

then surely, we obey.

When we read his Word,

we do it every day.

When we know his Word,

we tell people everywhere.

When God provides for us,

we go and share.

When God leads us,

we follow his way.

Since God is with us,

we know to pray.

When God blesses us,

we thank the Lord.

When God heals us,

we thank him even more.

When we serve God,

we help his people.

We offer our assistance,

when we're able.

When we submit to God,

and do all this.

We put God first,

and no one else. 

BECAUSE OF GOD'S GRACE

 

I've been through tough times,

I've cried many tears.

Even tragedy struck me,

there was loneliness and fears.

During these difficult times,

I couldn't change anything.

But I prayed to the Lord,

who can do everything.

Because I already knew,

about God's sovereignty.

So hope was not lost,

in my times of adversity.

There were some times,

I thought this was it.

But God had a plan, 

he chose the moment.

When I faced these trials,

no matter how bad it was.

There's a Bible verse,

that reminded me this.

What I went through,

I relied on God's power.

Because of God's grace,

I was made stronger.

RIGHT PERSPECTIVE

 

I may not have the voice,

for any songs I sing.

But I can praise God,

and thank him for everything.

I may struggle at times,

with words I want to say.

But it doesn't stop me,

when I go and pray.

I may do good works,

with a clear conscience.

But first and foremost,

God wants my obedience.

I may have my desires,

but I stop and consider.

Is it aligned with God's will,

I know his ways are better.

I may not know,

what a day may bring forth.

But I rely on the Lord,

who directs my course.

I may not be qualified,

what God calls me to do.

It's what he does through me,

including preach the good news.
