ABIDE IN HIM

 


It took me many years,

before I realized.

God didn't create me,

just to survive.

So now I know,

as long as I'm alive.

It's God's will,

for me to thrive.

It took some time,

to give up my ways.

And serve the Lord,

rest of my days.

Instead of my desires,

that was done in vain.

I live for the Lord,

it's eternal life I gain.

It was a matter of time,

that I would know.

By reading God's word,

my knowledge would grow.

I would be fruitful,

and abide in him.

And only God's desire,

would flow within.

JESUS SAVED ME

 


No more searching,

no more wandering.

No more darkness,

no more sadness.

I found my Savior,

he had been waiting.

For me to seek him,

so I started praying.


I came before him,

and I repented,

For sins I committed,

and I was forgiven.

It was my Savior,

who set me free.

Now the Holy Spirit,

resides in me.


I'm born again, 

old self is gone.

No slave to sin,

no heart of stone.

I'm so happy,

that Jesus saved me.

So now I'm living,

for my Savior.

SAY A PRAYER

 


Take it to the Lord,

and say a prayer.

Tell him how you feel,

he really does care.

Make your requests known,

tell him every detail.

Help is on the way,

he will never fail.

Take it to the Lord,

he's our heavenly Father.

He's bigger than your problems,

there's no one greater.

Every time you pray,

give thanks to the Lord.

He will listen to you, 

like he said in his word.

Take it to the Lord,

he's always with you.

Go ahead and ask him,

what you need to do.

He knows everything,

especially what's ahead.

Spend time with him,

believe what he said.

OBEY GOD'S WORD

 


There's people in the bible,

who succeeded or failed.

Some were always faithful,

while others disobeyed.

Our actions have consequences,

so we obey then.

We have a free will,

but it's wrong to sin.

There's choices we make,

we feel it's right.

If it's against God's word,

then it's not alright.

We need to be careful,

in what we do.

When the bible says it's wrong,

it's a sin in God's view.

And God is faithful,

in what he said.

No matter what others say,

we listen to God instead.

So one thing that matters,

we need to learn.

What God has spoken,

we obey his word.

YOU ARE MY EVERYTHING

 


You are the potter,

I am the clay.

Because of you,

I was wonderfully made.

Created for a purpose,

a plan for me.

With your divine guidance,

and help from thee.

You are the shepherd,

I am the sheep.

There's nothing I lack,

because your blessings I reap.

Great are you, Lord,

and mighty are your deeds.

You're able to do,

more than I ask or need.

You are the vine,

and the branch is me.

Apart from you,

I can do nothing.

You're my guiding light,

you direct my path.

You are my Savior,

and more than that.

You're Lord of lords,

and King of kings.

You are my refuge,

you are my everything.

I stand in awe,

you still amaze me.

With your everlasting love,

and your great mercy.

MOMENT OF TRUTH

 


Let's talk about God's love,

and his amazing grace.

And about the cross,

where Jesus took our place.

And also the time,

he brought me out of darkness.

And even the moment,

I received his forgiveness.

When we call upon Jesus,

he's able to save completely.

He gave his life for sinners,

even a sinner like me.

Not because I deserved it,

but who he is.

He's a merciful God,

MY DAILY COMMITMENT

 


I start every day,

I say a prayer.

For family and friends,

and people everywhere.

For health and needs,

and troubles they face.

I turn to God,

and his amazing grace.


I start every day,

with this in mind.

I serve the Lord,

be helpful and kind.

I read the bible,

both day and night.

I obey his words,

and do what's right.


I start every day,

what I'm thankful for.

For blessings I received,

from my Savior Lord.

For food and essentials,

and the provisions too.

For help and guidance,

what I need to do.

And be a blessing,

 and make a difference today.

WHAT DID GOD SAY

 


It was God who said,

"love one another."

Since God loves us,

we should love each other.

We can't love God,

and then hate someone.

So if we love God,

we should love everyone.


It was God who said,

"wait for the Lord."

Our prayer will be answered,

according to his word.

God has a plan,

it will never fail.

For the Lord's purpose,

he will always prevail.


It was God who said,

for us to obey.

The message is clear,

what he did say.

God is the authority,

what's wrong or right.

It's not to ignore,

to change or fight.


It was God who said,

"never will I leave you."

And he also promised,

to help us too.

He reminded us,

"be still and know I'm God."

The power of his words,

it can't be stopped.

FOR THIS I PRAY

 


For this I pray,

a promise I can say.

To serve the Lord,

to love and obey.

For this I know,

that wherever I go.

It will always be,

God is with me.

For this I believe,

what I face today.

I rely on God,

to lead the way.

For this I desire,

to do God's will.

I make this pledge,

I want to fulfill.

For this I'm thankful,

I'm blessed indeed.

I'll go and share,

to those in need.

For this I commit,

that on each day.

I read the bible,

I'll sing and pray.

IF YOU LOVE GOD

 


If you love God,

then you will obey.

And if you're obedient,

then certainly you'll pray.

If you pray continually,

you'll read his word.

If you study it daily,

you'll know the Lord.

If you know him,

you'll repent of your sin.

If you're remorseful,

you'll be forgiven.

If God forgave you,

his Spirit dwells within.

If the Spirit is in you,

you'll be born again.

If you were made new,

you'll share God's word.

If you share his message,

they'll know the Lord.

Then you did your part,

with the task you got.

That's when you know,

that you love God.

WHO GOD IS

 


Our concept of God,

is often not big enough.

And it all begins,

with his unfailing love.

The bible reveals God,

and what he means to us.

When we know him,

it's a God we can trust.


Our God is gracious,

but God is also just.

He gave us commandments,

so obedience is a must.

God is also patient,

he's rich in mercy.

God is also holy, 

he had no beginning,


God is always present,

no matter where we go.

There's nothing that's hidden,

our every thought he knows.

The depth of his knowledge,

we could never comprehend.

He knows everyone's life,

from beginning to end.


God is full of grace,

faithful to his word.

God is also sovereign,

he is our Lord.

Our God is almighty,

that's who he is.

So it's very important,

we all know this.

WAIT FOR THE LORD

 


It's been another day,

and you know you prayed.

You prayed every night,

with no end in sight.

You pull out the bible,

you read God's word.

You highlight the verse,

"wait for the Lord."


Days become weeks,

you refuse to be bitter.

You remind yourself,

it will get better.

But not on your own,

but on God's grace.

God is bigger,

than what you face.


So one thing matters,

we know what God said.

Our minds are set,

we focus on him instead.

God is still working,

even if there's a delay.

God is never late,

so we continue to pray.



Friday, June 16, 2023

WALK WITH GOD

 


There's a song,

we're going to sing.

That's filled with praise,

to Christ our King.

We lift our voice,

with reverence and awe.

And together we proclaim,

he's Lord of all.


There's a prayer,

we're going to pray.

We turn our attention,

to our Lord today.

Come humbly before him,

when we start.

The words we say,

comes from our heart.


There's a bible,

we're going to read.

It's the only book,

that we all need.

From Old testament and New,

is where we learn.

What God really said,

in his written word.


There's a promise,

God made to us.

"I will never leave you,"

so in God we trust.

We are assured,

that in our journey.

We walk with God,

and fulfill our calling.

PLAY IT FOR JESUS

 


Let my soul be in your hands.

Let my life be in your plans.

Let my words be what you said.

Let my focus be what's ahead.


Let my heart be filled with your love.

Let my mind seek things above.

Let my hands be used for you.

For your purpose in all I do.


Let my song bring you praise.

Let my desire be follow your ways.

Let my days I read your word.

And always pray until you return.


Let your words be in my heart.

Let my commitment to do my part.

Let everyone know that I proclaim.

I serve you and honor your name.

MOST IMPORTANT DECISION

 


I reached rock bottom,

and faced a dead end.

I took a wrong path,

since I lost my friend.

I lived a reckless life,

that put me to shame.

I have no excuses,

I have myself to blame.

REPENT OF YOUR SINS,

JUST LIKE JESUS SAID.

GIVE UP YOUR WAYS,

FOCUS ON HIM INSTEAD.

JESUS DIED FOR YOU,

HE PAID THE COST.

WHAT YOU HAVE NOW,

IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU LOST.

My selfish pride,

was on display.

It was my actions,

that caused my dismay.

I was so blind,

I failed to see.

What I valued the most,

was only for me.

REPENT OF YOUR SINS,

JUST LIKE JESUS SAID.

GIVE UP YOUR WAYS,

FOCUS ON HIM INSTEAD.

JESUS DIED FOR YOU,

HE PAID THE COST.

WHAT YOU HAVE NOW,

IS BETTER THAN WHAT YOU LOST.

PLACE CALLED HEAVEN

 


No more death or grave,

no more tears to shed.

No more worries or fears,

we know what's ahead.


No more needs or desires,

no more division or hate.

No more darkness or sadness,

our new home will be great.


No more problems or troubles,

no more sorrow or pain.

No more bitterness or jealously,

only love will remain.


No more stress or burdens.

that filled our day.

No more grieving or illness,

it will pass away.


So we patiently wait,

for Jesus to return.

That day will come,

we know by his word.


We have this assurance,

Jesus will come again.

He'll take us home,

to a place called heaven.

TIMES DO CHANGE

 


There's a time of joy,

you want it to last.

But then someone dies,

it's now in the past.

So it's a time of grief,

BUT WE ALL KNOW,

GOD IS STILL THE SAME.

GOD IS STILL WORKING,

SO RESIST ANY DOUBT.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,

    There's a time of love,

with family and friends.

But then there's dissension,

and the bickering begins.

So it's a time of conflict,

The feud continues,

and there's no end.

TIMES DO CHANGE,

LIKE THE BIBLE PROCLAIMS.

BUT WE ALL KNOW,

GOD IS STILL THE SAME.

GOD IS STILL WORKING,

SO RESIST ANY DOUBT.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,

HE WILL WORK IT OUT.

There's a time of wealth,

that you long desired.

But then illness strikes,

and surgery is required.

So it's a time you dread,

your health was taken.

Your anxiety kicks in,

your emotions are shaken.

TIMES DO CHANGE,

LIKE THE BIBLE PROCLAIMS.

BUT WE ALL KNOW,

GOD IS STILL THE SAME.

GOD IS STILL WORKING,

SO RESIST ANY DOUBT.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,

HE WILL WORK IT OUT.
