FIRST AND LAST
2008-03-03 05:44:00
Boy, This Is PowerfulAs you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you wouldtalk to Me, even if it was just a few words, asking My opinionor thanking Me for something good that happened in your lifeyesterday. But I noticed you were too busy, trying to find the rightoutfit to wear.When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would bea few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were too busy.At one point you had to wait fifteen minutes with nothing to do exceptsit in a chair. Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wantedto talk to Me but you ran to the phone and called a friend to getthe latest gossip instead. I watched patiently all day long. With allyour activities I guess you were too busy to say anything to Me.I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe you feltembarrassed to talk to Me, that is why you didn't bow your head. Youglanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friendstalking to Me briefly before they at...

THEY SAY
2008-03-03 05:25:00
They say it's better out than in And what they say is true Cause you don't know what's lurking there Until you look into The reasons why you are yourself For better or for worse You either live a blessed life Or one beneath a curse. When you've finally had enough Of living with your lot Surrender all unto The Lord Just give Him all you've got Then He can begin the task Of delving in your mess Removing things that mar your way In Jesus name, God Bless.

YOU'VE GIVEN UP
2008-02-29 05:33:00
YOU'VE GIVEN UP You've given up and wandered off You've left My loving arms Knowing Me was not enough Beguiled by worldly charms You wanted Me to give you things That kept your soul intact You told Me that you loved Me But it was all an act. I'll never lose My love for you Perhaps one day you'll see That what I have is something else The world cannot achieve So when you're lonely, crying out Remember, I am here To gather you into My arms Come back to Me my dear.

SUBMERGED
2008-02-27 05:40:00
Submerged in the quicksand Of fear and despair You can't see an answer To all of your prayers Feelings all tell you That there is no hope By suffering alone Are you able to cope? Where is the savoiur Who you say you love Far in the distance Perhaps up above Maybe He's waiting For you to agree To fit Him in somewhere Midst your agony. Your pride is a barrier Relationship cold It's time to rekindle That passion of old He's full of forgiveness He loves you like mad Go back to your father Your very own Dad.

SOFT SCOOP
2008-02-26 05:39:00
I'm wrestling with the ice cream Inside this soft scoop box My spoon is bent,my patience spent I'm trying to outfox The barrier before me To get my just dessert I'll hack at that unyielding mass No matter what the hurt. But hey,where is my patience Why don't I let it melt Surely it will taste the same If time and me both dwelt Perhaps this is my problem Too hasty in my ways A martha living in my skin To be a Mary pays. So if I wait upon The Lord Instead of rushing it And let us melt together In a fusion,we will knit A tasty time of bonding And one that satisfies Oh Lord,please give me patience To delight in Your surprize.

IF ONLY
2008-02-25 05:27:00
If only we would let You Invade our highs and lows Invite You into every part The good times and the blows We would learn so very much With You we'd ride the storm Cos nothing could unhinge our faith With You to keep us warm. You've proved Yourself so many times But still we leave You out Instead of us embracing You We're often full of doubt Hopefully we'll see some sense With You we'll come to stay You cannot love us any more So come and have Your way.

STILL
2008-02-24 10:04:00
Let us be humble, receptive and still The Spirit is with us, succumb to His will He ministers gently and offers to fill Our lives with the power of God. Were often too keen to get on with our life Wading and struggling through all kinds of strife Bleeding from cutting ourselves with the knife Christians, but only in name. Perhaps if we listen, let Him take the strain Allow Him to enter our precious domain Be Mary not Martha, just let Jesus reign Then we'd be able to serve.

SOW
2008-02-23 09:18:00
You sow a seed into the ground Expecting it to grow If you fertilize the soil It multiplies ten fold But if you keep it to yourself And put it in a jar Then that is all you'll have to show A pauper's life, by far. The Lord has given us the gifts To share with everyone If we think that they are ours We'll miss out on the fun For it's with joy that we can help The one's who need our aid And God will bless us for our trust In all that He has bade.

HEDGE
2008-02-22 05:27:00
A hedge is good for hiding things You don't want folk to see Untidy grass and rampant weeds A gardening misery In the darkness of your patch Nothing ever grows Decline of dreams abandoned there A perfect place to doze. It's time you cut that foliage down And let the sun shine in Revealing hopes that you once had Before you choked on sin He's waiting for your outstretched hand To intertwine with His Together you can face this world Oh wouldn't that be bliss.

SIGHT
2008-02-20 05:26:00
You look upon your circumstance And shudder at the sight You cannot see an answer To the volume of your plight Optically, you see with eyes That stare upon a world Rejoicing at the spiral Into which you have been hurled. There is hope, but only if Your faith comes into play By handing it to Jesus There is bound to be a way To rise up from the ashes Of a life you tried to own Not by sight but faith, He says Will conquer the unknown.

SHEEP
2008-02-19 05:23:00
I'm a member of Your flock A sheep, that's what I am Though I try to follow You I act just like a lamb That gambols off Your narrow path To where the dangers lay Why can't I concentrate on You Instead of making hay. I know that You will rescue me Return me to the course That You have mapped out, just for me Together we're a force Let me gracefully mature By grazing at Your feet I will fatten on Your word Be spiritually complete.

HELLO GOD
2008-02-18 05:29:00
Hello God,it's me again I've learnt another way To come into Your courts of praise Each and every day I've dropped all the pretending My shopping list of greed I aim to come, just as I am A hopeless case, in need. It's You I want, not just Your help I've always missed the truth I joined Your top insurance scheme And then stood back, aloof But now I know it's not enough To hang around Your gate I've got to get to know You Lord Before it is too late.

HE DIDN'T SAY
2008-02-17 10:19:00
He didn't say the rich would get The first place in the queue He didn't say your entry fee Was based on what you do It's better to be who you are And come just as yourself So cease from piling all your works Upon your sagging shelf. The poor, bereaved and meek of heart Will be His chosen ones For they have loved Him for Himself He's proud to call them sons Remember, it's not what you do But what The Lord has done That is the key to everything Your freedom has been won.

FAN CLUB
2008-02-16 08:48:00
The devil has the best fan club The devil has the best drugs His world is cracking up nicely But Jesus is The One. The devil may be your conscience The devil preys on your faults You may be cracking up nicely But Jesus is The One. He may have come back to get you Refused to leave you alone Your past is cracking up nicely But Jesus is The One. Jesus is The Savior He's whipped the devils hide You needn't crack up nicely If with Him, you bide.

EVERYBODY

Everybody thinks it's great To go to church each week Meeting with the family The atmosphere's unique Gives a boost to flagging souls A chance to be renewed What a wondrous, awesome place To have your sins removed. But whilst we're getting sorted out What do we give The Lord Preoccupation with ourselves Means we can ill afford To spare a moment of our time And cast our minds on Him Who gave His Son to set us free From circumstances grim.

DRAINED
2008-02-13 05:30:00
Now is the time to face the fact What I am has had it's day And as I speak about my past The strength I own all drains away For I am built of imperfection Construction of a self made life Creation marred by infiltration I am full of pain and strife. Now is the time to let Him have me Need His strength to carry on All my building blocks lie shattered Leave a base to build upon I know that my reconstruction Will be perfect, kingdom made Come Lord Jesus, be the artist Your foundations to be laid.

CONSIDER THE POOR
2008-02-12 05:24:00
Consider the poor, the down and out The ones we tend to ignore For they are at the heart of God Who He sent Jesus for We tend to live our sumptuous lives Without a care in the world But one day, when we meet our Lord His wrath will be unfurled. Consider Matthew 25 Which shows us what to do Feed the hungry, clothe the naked Befriend the prisoner too We ourselves are much afraid We need a helping hand Through Jesus, we can be the ones Who follow His commands.

MIRE
2008-02-11 19:15:00
When you’re deep in the mire And you start to perspire The devil is laughing at you You have gone your own way Now you’re starting to pay And there doesn’t seem any way through. You have led your own life And it’s ended in strife But you’re too proud to ask for some aid It can only get worse As you scream and you curse You are feeling alone and afraid. The answer is clear There is One who is near And He’s ready to take all the weight You must swallow your pride And in Him must confide Before you leave it too late. So give up the fight Relax, be contrite Ask Jesus back into your world Let Him sort you out Rejoice and be stout Let His future for you be unfurled.

COMPASSION
2008-02-11 05:28:00
We tend to add all kind of things To what's already there No wonder we are all confused When pressure comes to bear Everyone has helpful tips To get us through the mire But what it all boils down to Is the need to call Him sire. Gravitating to the poor And those without a crown He wants to share His walk with us The one on which we frown Until our hearts are full of love Compassion oozing out We are missing simple truth Of what it's all about.

CLIMBING
2008-02-10 10:22:00
Climbing up the wall of life They keep on adding blocks You never reach the very top There's lead inside your socks Might as well accept the fact You're on a greasy pole Be content with who you are Before life takes it's toll. To be a humble, contrite soul Is no mark of a wimp To have the heart of Jesus Means you never have to limp You can be a power base In weakness you'll be strong Just try your best to be yourself And then you can't go wrong.

BEWILDERMENT
2008-02-09 10:00:00
Bewilderment and panic Has affected our lot Somebody somewhere Has hatched up a plot To unsettle our family And set off the rot I wonder, just who could that be. The ones who have waited Can no longer wait The ships slowly sinking Quick, let's find the gate The Lord isn't here And it's well past the date Who is it, who's causing the doubt? Yes, satan will try To ferment all this strife Causing upheaval Tween man and his wife But what do we choose Is it death or life? A cozy time sat on the fence. Revival is costly It hurts you and me But God only wants What is best for His sheep So, are we with Him Or waiting to flee The future is left up to us. The light is upon us Whenever we seek It guides and controls Though our batteries are weak For He has the...

BENEFACTOR
2008-02-08 05:24:00
Priceless treasures wait for those Who seek the benefactor We must put some effort in And not just be an actor For when we finally get fed up With striving to be good Then we release our Spirit man Into our hearts of wood Which delicately need a prune Of all that's dead and rotten Those hurts and fears from former years That may have been forgotten Our selfishness, our sense of pride Must be replaced by love Which only Jesus can supply His hand inside our glove.

BARRIER
2008-02-07 05:25:00
Take away the barriers That come between us, child It's time to step out bravely We must be reconciled For you have been a slumber Keeping Jesus out of mind Quivering inside your hole So very hard to find. But life goes on, there's not much left You're missing such a lot The treasure's I have kept for you Are being left to rot So leave your nest and take a step I'll never let you fall Jesus wants to be your friend But only if you call.

THE ONLY ONE
2008-02-06 05:23:00
You are The One, the only One Who knows me inside out Despite the highs and lows of me You haven't any doubt That what You started years ago Will come to full fruition But only if I spend the time Immersed in Your tuition. That's the part I seem to lack My concentrations poor My mind it wanders everywhere I seem to take a tour But when I finally take a gaze Upon Your precious word The times I've chosen other things Seem really quite absurd.

BALL
2008-02-05 05:31:00
Screwed up like a ball Protected by a covering Afraid to share at all Wound up by fear of change A person can survive Sitting on the outside Looking at the beauty Of what He's doing today. What's the use of change It only brings you problems I'm perfect as I am I do my best by Him But there is something more A loving kind of future If only I would trust And let dear Jesus in. Oh peel away these layers These chains that are my jailer Let me open out Into the flower that I am The joy that lives within Is buried deep inside me Someone notice me And help me live again. Let me feel the power A deluge of the water Cleansing deep inside Removing all my pain Take away the fear The thought of being foolish Here, have all of me I cannot stay the same.

Your love for people shines so bright You blossom when they're near Saying no to others needs Just fills you full of fear As if you need to prove yourself You seem to have it all But hid behind your countenance A jelly standing tall.

We have this need to be affirmed Respected and admired Noticed as the vital cog To which we have aspired What do people think of us Do we get on their nerves Or are we pleasant company Whom everyone deserves.
