In Him I Stand Awed

I rely on my faith, to take off my mask

Where is your faith now, the devil would ask

I’m encouraged to stand firm, during this evil time

This mountain won’t move, I know i must climb

I have such little faith,I know I must trust God

He fills me with power, in Him I stand awed

As I live out my life, the struggles will come

I reach up for God’s hand, He knows the outcome

I struggle and struggle, i put on my mask

I started believing the lies, then fear set in to bask

Fear had it’s help, from the father of lies

My Lord opened His arms, as I sat and just cried

My Lord left His flock, to come search me out

He calmed all my fear, He settled my doubt

I was broken and shattered, I knew I was lost

He carried my burdens, all the way to the cross

So I dropped to my knees, where I weeped as I prayed

God answered my prayers, where my penalty’s been paid

He covered my sin, now I won’t be afraid

Forgiveness is a blessing, it’s sweet as pie

Jesus came to my to my aid, now I can stop believe the lie

He came as a ransom, He died on the Tree

He now lives in my heart, now I am set free

The struggle is real, and you that you’re lost

Come to the Savior, where He died on the Cross

Jesus Lives

Jesus Lives

 

He walked the earth 3 ½ years

With message to repent

Please open your ears

 

It was that cross

That cross that He died

He gave His message with love

For even those who had pride

 

He loved the world

Even tho they were lost

He hung on the tree

Even tho He counted the cost

 

He shared the gospel of love

In order to be saved

He broke all the chains

For all those in slaved

 

If you are lost

Or loaded with pride

Open your heart

Let Jesus inside

 

Now you know that He lives

He lives inside your heart

He will clean you up

To give you a new start

 

Now that you’ve tasted

The goodness of God

You can never go back

To a life that is flawed

 

 

The new life that you live

Is the message to serve

Accept our Lord’s gift

The one you’ll never deserve

 

Now that you’ve read this poem

I hope you know this

For those who believe

Jesus Lives

Walking By Faith

2 Corinthians 5:6-7

So we are alwaysof good courage. We know thatwhile we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith not by sight.

Walking By Faith

 

We walk by faith not by sight

We are called out of darkness, into His light

We have not a clue, God sees who we are

He knows that we’re evil, without a pure heart

To pray is the answer, asking for Salvation to come

Christ died on the cross, for all, not just some

He sent us His Spirit, to be our true guide

He will never leave us, He’s always by our side

To walk with Jesus is a blessing for sure

To believe in Jesus is sin’s only cure

Jesus is the answer to walking by faith

He is the answer, our penalty’s been waved

So to walk by faith, not by sight

Perseverance is the answer 

To standing firm in this fight

Brokenness

Brokenness

 

As I stare at this broken mirror

The brokenness that stares back is clearer

It’s brokenness that I need to know

Tells me what I want to show

Brokenness is not for the weak in heart

Nor is it for the one who’s smart

Brokenness has a many of scars

They come from battles and wars

Brokenness can tell a story

Some details can even get gory

Brokenness has character

Find out as the pot gets a stir

Most brokenness gets pushed around

It even gets dropped to the ground

Look up look down look all around

Can you see brokenness on this frown

Brokenness has a side you’ll want to know

This is a side that can steal the show

Here’s a side I want you to see

It has strength and shows bravery

Oh yes, strength is a must

To last any time there has to be trust

Brokenness didn’t happen just like that

It was initiated by a cause that’s a fact

Brokenness doesn’t mean I’m weak

No, there’s not even a mean streak

Brokenness says; Hey I am strong

Look don’t get me wrong

I ain’t no push over that’s for sure

Brokenness has to have a cure

His Name is Jesus

Brokenness is not how He sees us

He saw my brokenness and touched my heart

He’s healing my brokenness, now that’s a start

Way back when I said strength is a must

It’s my Jesus who I trust

It’s because Jesus that I lasted this long

To carry brokenness, to say I’m strong

It’s because of Jesus I stood the test

Then made it thru such a mess

In all my weakness, He is my strength

As long as I don’t keep him at arms length

Your Redemption Plan

Your Redemption Plan

 

Your Love walked the earth as man

To share the message of Your redemption plan

 

You put Your Love upon the cross

Your intention is to save who’s lost

 

Your Love is who defeated the grave

Because Your Love I know I’m saved

 

He rose to life after three days

The penalty for sin has been paid

 

You went to hell to free the slaves

From the prison of their graves

 

Inside our heart is where You live

Service to You is what we give

 

Your Word is what transforms my heart

It calms my storm and is where newness starts

 

Now I’m free to live for you

To trust Your Word through and through

 

Your Spirit is now my guide

From Your Truth I can no longer hide

 

I’m thankful for Your Redemption plan

For Your Love that died for man

We Are Called To Love

We Are Called To Love

 

We are called to live not in fear

But to draw close to God, who is always near

 

We are called to be His feet and hands

To trust Him thru this all, He has a plan

 

We are called to walk humbly with our God

To love the world in spite of all our flaws

 

We are called to love the least of these

To ask for power thru prayer from our knees

 

We are called in the midst of tragedy

To show Christ’s love thru humility

 

We are called to love our enemies

Which takes strength from our knees

 

Above all, we are plainly called to love

To show the world there’s the God above

Heaven’s My Home

Heaven’s My Home

 

I’m bought with a price

He hung on a cross

He gave up His life

So, I’d no longer be lost

 

He conquered the grave

He set captives free

He was raised back to life

So, I’ll forever be free

 

Forgiveness came with a price

His blood spilled on the ground

He gave me a new life

Now I’m heavenward bound

 

I’m a justified sinner

He made me His own

It happened before time

Now heaven’s my home

 

I’ll forever be grateful

I’m indebted to serve

Thankful to Christ

I will follow His Word

 

He will always guide me

Wherever I go

Now I’ve tasted His goodness

So, my life it will show

 

Remember, I’m bought at a price

I can never go back

I will endure to the end

Even tho satan attacks

 

Tho, he tries his hardest

I know the battle is won

It comes from a man

That God calls His own Son

At the Cross

At the Cross

 

God I s Sovereign

God is Just

In His Word

I must trust

 

Thru His Word

I walk His ways

In His Righteousness

I will stay

 

By His Blood

I’ve been set free

All because

He died on that tree

 

It’s my mission

To testify

About His Grace

How He changed my life

 

I testify

To His freedom song

In His Presence

Is where my heart belongs

 

I’ll stand and sing

I’ll stand and praise

On account

My sin’s debt been paid

 

Forgiveness was offered

At the Cross

Thankful to Jesus

He found me when I was lost

Our Redeemer

Our Redeemer

 

Jesus overcame

What no one could ever do

He paid the price for sin

To give life to me and you

 

He trampled over death

Then conquered the grave

This all happened on the cross

So our penalty for sin could be waved

 

He is our King of Kings

Yet gentle as a dove

He is seated with our Father

Which is in our home above

 

He called us out of darkness

Into His marvelous Light

He is our strength in our struggle

He is our help in this fight

 

When I’m falling down

I can reach up for His hand

He came as the redeemer

For this is God’s master plan

 

My security is in Jesus

He is my salvation plan

I’m thankful to God

He sent Jesus to save man

When Jesus Died

When Jesus Died

 

When Jesus died

He saved my soul

He gave me life

He made me whole

 

I walk with Him

It’s Him I please

It’s Him I trust

To walk in peace

 

When Jesus Died

He freed my soul

To make a choice

His Word to know

 

Now His Spirit

Lives in my heart

He changed my life

With a new start

 

When Jesus died

He freed me from

A life on drugs

Now I’m no longer numb

 

He changed my heart

Now it’s Him I serve

I obey His Word

So, I never swerve

 

When Jesus died

He paid the debt

For my sin

Now my ransoms met

 

I’m no longer guilty

Nor do I live in shame

I put my faith in Christ

Who will never change

 

 

When Jesus died

On that cursed tree

He gave me rest

He set me free

 

I don’t doubt His love

He loved me first

For His love

I hunger and I thirst
