RELY ON JESUS

 

The smile may be gone,

laughter a distant memory.

Health may get worse,

you may feel lonely.

Life is not easy,

sometimes it's hard to cope.

It may even look bleak,

but there's always hope.

THESE ARE THE MOMENTS,

WE RELY ON JESUS.

WE CAN BE CERTAIN,

WHAT HE'LL DO FOR US.

WE MAY NOT KNOW,

THE QUESTION WHEN.

ONE DAY WILL COME,

IT WILL SURELY HAPPEN.

The unexpected tragedy,

that leaves us grieving.

The trials we face,

can be overwhelming.

The testing of our faith,

is always on display.

That's why it's important,

for us to pray.

THESE ARE THE MOMENTS,

WE RELY ON JESUS.

WE CAN BE CERTAIN,

WHAT HE'LL DO FOR US.

WE MAY NOT KNOW,

THE QUESTION WHEN.

ONE DAY WILL COME,

IT WILL SURELY HAPPEN.

REVERENCE FOR GOD

 

I go to church,

and sing songs of praise.

I obey God's commands,

and follow his ways.

And fulfill my purpose,

rest of my days.

I do it all,

out of reverence for God.

I read my bible,

and pray every day.

I make the time,

to help someone today.

I share my testimony,

that I was saved.

I do it all.

out of reverence for God.

He directs my path,

that's where I go.

I share God's word, 

to people I know.

I marvel God's creation,

in my morning stroll.

I do it all,

out of reverence for God.

I write poetry,

so people can see.

God will help you,

like he did for me.

And I'm thankful,

for the blessings I received.

I do it all,

out of reverence for God.

MOMENT IN TIME

 

It happened one night,

when I was feeling down.

I just had surgery,

and there was no one around.

I pulled out a notebook,

and began to write.

My very first poem,

how I felt that night.

The words came out,

it flowed off my pen.

I finished the poem,

and sent it to my friend.

She loved it so much,

she showed it to her daughter.

She even encouraged me,

to write another.

It's forty-five years later,

it's late at night.

Thanks to my friend,

I continue to write.

SAY AMEN

 

If we read the bible,

and believe it's all true.

Then we will know,

what we need to do.

So if we love God,

 we love everyone else.

We're part of God's family,

that includes all of us.

If we agree on this.

then surely we obey.

Our actions will show it,

and also what we say.

It's all about God's will,

and what he desires.

We are to serve him,

with spiritual fire.

If we pray to God,

and seek his face always.

We put God first,

and follow his ways.

So the word of God,

is important then.

If we agree on this,

then we say amen.

SERVE GOD ONLY

 

Sometimes we make a decision,

based on a lie.

We hear deceptive words,

like "it's ok to try."

It can blind us,

from the real truth.

We need to be careful,

who we listen too.

It can be appealing,

in what people say.

If it's against God's word,

we need to walk away.

A word of wisdom,

be alert and watchful.

Because what we do,

it can be harmful.

Our minds should be set,

on what God said.

Not what the world teaches,

but God's word instead.

Everything that we do,

is to bring God the glory.

Then the world will know,

we serve God only.
