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.
