SELF REFLECTION

 


Take a look at yourself,

what do you see?

Is it someone,

who's friendly as can be?

Are you quick to listen,

and slow to speak?

Are you willing to help, 

for those who are weak?

Is there a smile,

planted on your face?

Or is it a frown,

you need to replace?

Is it someone,

who's hard to please?

Or is it someone,

who's always at ease?

It's a self-reflection,

on the image you display.

In all your actions,

and what you say.

It's through your habits,

the people will observe.

The real truth,

if the Lord you serve.

DO IT ALL FOR THE LORD

 


I see the sunshine,

coming from my window.

I know it's time,

to get up and go.

I'm up and ready,

and full of gusto.

The best way to start,

the only way I know.

I head out the door,

with a smile on my face.

What God has planned,

it's already in place.

No matter what's ahead,

this is what I seek.

To be a blessing,

to those in need.

So wherever I go,

the people I meet.

And all the tasks,

I need to complete.

Whether word or deed,

it is my goal.

I do all this,

for my Savior Lord.

DO IT FOR THE LORD

 





The clock keeps ticking,

another day has gone by.

A new day has begun,

so this is my time.

I make it my goal,

to do something good.

It's not for myself,

I do it for the Lord.

It is my commitment,

to serve the Lord again.

I pray to God,

is where I begin.

I'm on a mission,

that God put me in.

I may not be qualified,

but I trust in him.

Because in my weakness,

won't hamper God's ability.

He will use me,

what I was meant to be.

I walk with God,

and become a blessing.

Let the Lord's light shine,

to bring him glory.

TO JESUS

 


Where do I go?

just show me where.

So wherever I am,

you'll always be there.

I have a purpose,

I have no doubt.

Whatever it may be,

you'll help me out.

You have chosen me,

to accomplish this plan.

I am ready to go,

I'll obey your command.

So anything you say,

that I need to do.

I'll give you my best,

so I honor you.


I have a task,

whether large or small.

Whatever you decide,

it is your call.

So it's very important,

that everyone will see.

That my good deeds,

it's you working through me.

So they take notice,

wonder if they could.

Be part of this,

and do something good.

And they serve you,

and also glorify thee.

Because it's about you,

the way it should be.

LIGHT OF THE LORD

 


I once had a dream that I'll never forget.

It seemed so real, about a stranger I met.

He held a big sign that you couldn't miss.

Printed in bold letters, "You Got To Hear This."

He pointed to the candles, with a message for me.

"They'll Shed Some Light, On How Life Should Be."

There were four candles, only one with a flame. 

Attached to each candle, it had their own name.

The first candle spoke, "It's JOY you need today."

"No one cared to listen, so my flame faded away."

Second candle proclaimed, "It's PEACE to bring harmony."

"They chose to hate instead, my flame you won't see."

"It's LOVE!" third candle said, "for anyone torn apart."

"They chose to ignore me, so I can't warm their heart."

The fourth candle declared, "I still have light."

"I represent HOPE!" you can use me tonight."

I took the one candle, to light the other three.

I came to realize, there's HOPE inside of me.

When I lit each candle, PEACE, JOY and LOVE. 

I receive all three, when I seek God above.
