By The Power Of Jesus

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I hear the chains a fallin

By His power He frees us

 

When I was in prison

Chained to these walls

The prison of my mind

Where I fall and I fall

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I hear the chains a fallin

It’s by His power He frees us

 

I was stuck in this prison

Where there was no getting out

I would hear the voices in my head

Where they would do nothing but shout

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I see the chains a fallin

By His power He frees us

 

I heard a new voice

Whispering in my ear

Come to Me My child

Let Me draw you in near

 

I will open up your heart

Then come and live inside

You’ll want to live with me

You’ll never ever have to hide

 

Every chain has been broken

By the power of Jesus

I see the chains a fallin

It’s by His Power He frees us

Thank You For Being My Friend

This Poem was written on June 18, 2021 and is the very first poem written to my wife. This poem is a tribute to the strength, peace and love that she exhibits thru her relationship with Christ. She has always been an example of doing the right thing even when I don’t want to. She has also been my rock in showing me what it means to trust and turn to Christ in the storms of life. Christ is finally my solid rock and Mary has shown me this. This is a tribute to my wife Mary.

 

Thank You For Being My Friend

 

Thank You for being a friend

In my mind we will never come to an end

We walk thru the valley together

With You there will always be a forever

 

Thank You for being a friend

Your love never comes to an end

You would give your life in place of mine

You walk thru pain and never whine

 

Thank You for being a friend

You stuck by me thru thick and thin

Your smile is as addictive as wine

Nothing ever dulls your shine

 

Thank You for being a friend

You’re a great example of not following the trend

You give and give but never seem to take

You’re a servant of Christ who is never ever fake

 

Thank You for being a friend

You’re an example of hope and that doesn’t end

I see the Spirit that lives in you

Your spirit is love and that shines thru

 

Thank You for being a friend

I know your love has no end

Your encouragement come from your heart

Your personality is as beautiful as art

 

Thank you for being a friend

You speak your mind and never pretend

You’re as strong as an ox that’s not beat by the plow

Thru a lot of pain you stuck with me somehow

 

Thank You for being a friend

You will die for your beliefs till the bitter end

I watched you grow and get closer to Christ

I also watched satan try to take you for a heist

 

Thank You for being a friend

You’ve been an example of being a friend

With that being said and all this being penned

From the bottom of my heart

Thank You For Being My Friend

Oh Lord, I Come To You Today

Oh Lord, I Come To You Today

 

Oh Lord I come to You today

On my knees I humbly pray

It’s my sin that wants to act out today

Oh Lord, help me find another way

Lead down the narrow path that’s straight

I want to enter into Your Pearly gates

From my sin You died to set me free

I draw close to You so the devil has to flee

You came and conquered death

That gave me my first new breath

Oh Lord, as I struggle now

Help me put my feet to the plow

I was in chains and you set me free

Now in Your presence I want to be

I want to walk with You in the cool of night

Oh Lord, forever show Your Light

As an example You washed my feet

So I can share Your hope down on the street

The gospel helped me respond in such a way

That I never want to stumble and stray

Oh Lord, be my guiding light

Help me to stand firm in this fight

As I bring my burdens to the cross

Thank God, I’ll never again be lost

You gave Christ to be my solid rock

I’ll forever be in Your flock
