Not By Yourself


Not By Yourself

Church is not just
A nice social tea party
It's not a game
It is where you go
To declare your belief in
The Name

You have an enemy
Wishing only to destroy
To kill, rob, steal
All of life,
Even your very last joy

You know who I speak of
satan is his name
Pain, dark destruction
Is all and only
what he seeks to gain

Not by yourself
Can you wage war
Against him
Only Your Lord & Savior
Stands in between
From heaven's throne
His love's grace, light
Powerfully streams

So call upon the Name
Of Jesus Christ
And
Watch satan, his demons
Scatter
Into the dark winds
Take complete flight
For it is a most wonderful,
Overwhelming sight
To watch our eternal King
Into each and every life
Bring all of His Power,
And His Glorious Might!

Praise You, Lord Jesus
Praise You!!

From


From

From the white light
Above my head
To the brown ground
Beneath my feet
From every breath
While I'm awake
To every heartbeat
While I sleep
You are my everything

Come, Lord Jesus,
COME

Millenia come and millenia go
Still time after time
You continue to show
Your incomprehensible
Love, goodness, joy
Your peace
Even with outstretched
Arms
For us You continue to reach
In order to forgive

A completely new life to give
But it hangs in the balance
From us it will require the talent
Of making the right choice
On His bloodied cross
After He raised His Voice
It is finished!
For all eternity
Our sins had they been punished

Still,
We must decide, choose
For ourselves
How do we really wish to dwell?
With someone so beautiful
Our words cannot express
Or
An Infinity without God's love forever
This is every man's greatest
and lifelong test!

Caught Up!


Caught Up!


Caught up in you
Not just watching
Or carried by your side
But caught up
Inside of you
Longingly I sigh
Please do not pass
Me by
In the moment
Of that breath
I know the best
Of life waiting
for me yet
Is to be caught up
Into the richest, deepest crevices
within Your heart's depths!

The Choosing Ground


The Choosing Ground

A line has been drawn
On this earth in the sand
By an Almighty, Holy Hand
Choose on which side
You wish to stand
You must
In this,
You have no choice

For of your life
This is the reality
And God Jesus
Holds all the keys
After all,
He does give free will
He allows you to instill
Or choose
With which side
Yourself you wish to fill

On one side,
A broken world's chaos
So lost
Or on the other
A beauty so RICH
Fit only for a king
Who for your sake
Was willing to
Pay the heavy cost

So, spend your time
In a way most wise
One side renders for you
Only a dark demise
Or step over
TO THE OTHER SIDE
Offering Infinity's Bright Lights
To live, explore forever among
God's Heavenly Heights!!

The Ticket

The Ticket

Jesus Christ
Into heaven
Is
OUR TICKET
With
HIS BLOOD
He came to
STOP IT
that satan's deceit!

So won't you
GET OUT
Even if it
Takes a
SMALL SHOUT
In joy
To grab people's attention
So they can
Win it
THAT HOLY TICKET
Into God's Eternal Paradise!!

Hand to Hand

Hand to Hand

Imagine. . .
This large open plain
A massive battlefield
Where today in another war
Many demons yet might I
Still be forced to kill

Thick helmet on my head
Chain metal on my chest
Finally I step forward
Serving my Master’s undying quest
To bring home the lost

A great dark enemy’s army
Gathers in this earthly field
Hoping to devour
And my most precious faith
Longing to at last kill

But we have a Living, Risen KING!
Upon our dusty clay
Did He with human feet
Sleep, cry and trod
This our Holy, Beautiful,
ALMIGHTY GOD!

So take heart
The battle is not over
Onward it still rages
As written within
A Holy Book’s eternal pages
And for us the best of news?
God wins, Christ wins
His Spirit all evil will subdue
And if you so choose
Saving us, I, we and you!!
