You had to reach down So very, very low Because At times life to us can deliver Exceedingly cruel blows AH!! But the joy at seeing your face Come to save(as always) I reach up Your hands full of Your overflowing grace!
So hold your breath Get ready Christ remains always ever steady Dependable, ALMIGHTY Wait and you will see Your Refuge, our Rock Our Creator LORD He will enable all believers In Him once again to soar Above this world's chaos That dark slimy pit Pain, suffering and loss Even though it may come For you at a tremendous cost
But you can rely upon HIM To eternally win Our Immortal souls, Us in His forever love to keep As in His Paradise we all together Dance joyfully in the Light-filled Glory at His Feet!!
May God bless your Sunday morning! I pray He would again pour out His Holy Spirit on His beloved world and once more fill it with the same fire as He did on that long ago Pentecost. May God bless and protect your day!!
Better Than What He Left It!
Be you transformed! Brave even miraculous words You first century apostle! By pagan ignorant ears Were they heard Yet, Even though simple, plain Look how they set a culture On fire!
Jesus loves you just as you are True, true Words from pulpits heard very often today But In a darkened, sin-filled condition Never did He mean to let you stay!!
Always, always better He wants For you To be changed, renewed He wants to leave you better Than what He found you So, go, sin no more Let your eternal spirit soar And Through a Holy Spirit's Pentecostal fire Reach ever so much higher Leave the world a little better Than what you found it!!!
There is nothing Nothing Let me repeat Nothing As beautiful As wonderful As Being with Christ Jesus And may I guess As breath-takingly Stupendous As my first glance Into His Face
Oh, The joy The peace To fill my soul From such Might not my small heart Explode? For now, I suppose I do not know
But let me You reassure No matter for now What you may Have to endure In a world so lost That for it There is no other cure But Christ Himself If you hang in there Persevere Until the end You will win HIS INFINITY So rare, unique So Gloriously Pure!!
Silence An absence of sound The rocks have split Upheavals have shaken The underfoot ground The sky has blackened And at last cleared The city in a festive mood It hears people raise a few cheers But still they do not see, They have not understood
Followers, disciples Huddle in a locked, darkened room Not knowing what comes next If at tomorrow, will that be too soon? Or will today be their last breath They try to comfort one another Hoping to stave off their own death As a few women in the corner Continue to weep
Prayers are raised But God is silent He has already said all He had to say It happened on the night, Of His son’s birth And at last The last day of His painful, Tortured life on this green earth
So get used to the days of silence, They serve a purpose To you, can actually be of a Deeper service Learn how to wait, trust Even when you don’t hear God’s voice See His Almighty hand closely at work For us, this could be life’s hardest choice
Christ had a goal In many words In His sacred book Is this very specifically told It was to save us
With His love, kindness, Endurance And Finally, death Was it shown But Also with His brutal honesty In words sometimes harsh Was it told
Today more than ever Do people need to hear Truth of our reality Sin is still sin Still wrong Never a golden crown Will we win Without facing God's truths
In the war that rages Around us for our souls May we ever be honest With ourselves, others Win back that Which satan stole Intimacy with God But only in heaven's Complete truth Will ever we be able To reach that perfected goal!
God wants to give us peace found within His presence and trust in Him. He never intended this world and life to be this painful for us. So I hope you can draw closer to Him and find that peace and serenity He really wants to give you. Praise God! Here is a link to this video also on my You Tube channel: https://youtu.be/I9W8FkjzTSA
Serenity
Serenity Whispers in the breeze Enveloping Like a warm blanket Pleasantly around me In crystals of bright sunlight Or in darker shadows cast Here in the now and the future Or sleeping enshrined Within my past!
