FORGIVENESS

I'm Not Worthy
I know I am not worthy
Of the love you gave to me
Even when I turned my back on you
You still have met my needs
You were there to mend the pieces
When I made mistakes
You took me back with no questions
I just had not weighed the stakes
Just like the prodigal son
I did not see that I was blessed
The good life that I had
I turned into a mess
I turned back to earthly things
That would please the flesh
I found with time that pleasure
Grew less and less
I found that I had to
Go back to my Fathers home
He welcomed me with open arms
At me He cast no stones
He knew that I was sorry
Of my deeds I did repent
He restored me as His son
As though I hdd never went

Season Of Joy
The seasons upon us of joy and cheer
Of sleigh rides and Santa and his reindeer
We sing about peace on earth
Goodwill to all men
But do we know what we sing about
If we are not born again
Have we left Christ out of Christmas
He is not a baby anymore
He now sits on his Fathers right hand
He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords
We give gifts to friends and family
And have dinners with no end
We go shopping, greet each other
With Merry Christmas and a grin
But do we stop long enough
To show true joy, peace and love
What would we do
If we saw God looking from above?

What Can I Give You
What can I give you
That will nott rust or decay
I want to give you something special
That will help you on your way
Yhat will give you hope,to face another day
There is only one thing ,I can think of
Something I found when I prayed
That gift is Jesus,the one who gives you life
I can share his love with you
Let you know he paid the price
That he gave his life for you
On a hill called Calvary
I give Jesus to you
His forgiveness is free

Signs Of The Times
Sin seems to abound in the world today
Menss hearts have become hard,don't get in their way
The life they lead is filled with hate
They don not look to God,they believe only in fate

Daughters against Mothers,with no respect for the other
Sons against Fathers,Sister against Brother
The unity of the family has been broken by sin
You hear peace being talked about,just a sign of the end

The signs of the times,are pointing to the end
Menss hearts failing,because of sin
Earthquakes in numerous places,disasters cover the land
Mans love of oneself,shows the end is at hand

Like A Child
I sat and watched some children at play
They were happy and carefree,So cheerful and gay
There outlook on life,had not yet been spoiled
They had not yet been touched
By Lifes problems and toils
If something comes up that a child can not fight
He takes it to his parent,they make it all right
They bandage the wounds,and heal you with a kiss
They talk problems out,then it's dismissed
We as adults have a parent too
Who can make things better and help relieve blues
He can turn our tears of pain into joy and cheer
He will listen to our problems because he really cares
If we would go to our Father before we lost control
Life would be much easier,He would help fight the foe
If we could be more like a small child
If we put our trust in Him
We would know He'd make things better
And to us He would be a friend

FORGIVENESS

. Last Days
In this world today depression seems to rule
Our emotions on the rampage we have even lost the hope
That tomorrow will be better we will get back in control
Satan will give you all hes got
To try to lead you off the strait and narrow road
Even Christians seem lost they do not know which way to turn
They try to stand by faith and trust in Gods word
We know by prophesy,this is the way things will be
We just stand and hold fast,until we see the victory
In these last days,satan knows his time is short
He will pull all your strings,to try and make you abort
The mission God has called you to
All your plans he will disrupt
He will try to turn your blessings in to trials
and your good deeds try corrupt

. Have You Seen God
Have you seen God in a flower
Have you seen God in a tree
Have you seen Him in the sunshine
Have you felt Him in a breeze
Have you felt His presence near you
In the quiet of the night
Do you let His love shine through you
Or do you hide His light
You will see Him in the east
You will see Him stand upon the clouds
You will hear His voice as thunder
As He shouts aloud
Time on earth is finished
At His voice men will bow
You will hear men cry out
"Please Lord, not now"
Do not wait till his appearing
To look for His face
Look for Him each morning
Give Him all your praise
For the new day He has given you
Your breath and your bread
Then at His appearing
there will be no cause for dread

Child It's Too Late
I am looking in heavens portals
I can see inside that door
All the saints of old are gathering
There with the King on heavens shore
There the saints of old are meeting
I see them there around the throne
They are waiting for our coming
When the Lord will call us home
Wont you come and go with us
To that land so far away
If you wait to hear that trumpet
You will hear Him say
"Child it's too late"

Glimpse Of That City
I had a glimpse inside of that city
The table was set and made ready
The bridegroom was at the head
The table had been spread
It was prepared for the bride to come home
The mansions inside of that city
Had been prepared each names on the door
They are vacant waiting for our coming
Once moved in we will never move anymore
Oh how I wanted to see the throne of God
But a voice said child it is not time
You have a work that you must do
Go until your work is through
It will not be long now before you' see it to
I felt the presence of God all around me
The tree of life I did see
God spoke to his Son
Said go bring my children home
Time on earth will be no more
Here they will live forever more

New Fallen Snow
I sat and looked at the new fallen snow
It seemed to sparkle and shine
in the moonlights glow
It was so clean and so white it emitted its own glow
Then a thought came to me from where?
God only knows
It reminded me of a tree on Calvary
The red blood was shed to make us white as snow
It washes and cleanses and changes a soul
That has been blackened by sin
and also turned cold
But the blood just seems to melt it
Now you can see Gods light glow
If we fail to remember
Then our life can turn back around
Just as the snow as it melts on the ground
The black earth will mix with it
Just like troubles and cares will do
Then all that you will have is a slushy mess
That is hard to walk through

BACK TO POETRY INDEX

Let�s Go Back To The Cross
God is speaking to His people
through His Holy Word
Come from amongst those
winds of doctrines and beliefs
Go tell my people, to get into my word
Return to your first love
pick up your cross and follow me
There is confusion amongst the unbelievers
They are looking but they can not seem to see
Jesus through all these religions
We have come so far from the cross of Calvary
We have drifted from the blood and our first love
Which can set the captive free
Lets all go back to the cross of Calvary
Lets tell them of the blood he shed
to set them free
Lets show His love and forgiveness once again
Lets shine that light so that they may also see
Lets shine our lights towards
the hill called Calvary

What Would You Give
Though you have faith
and good works down here
What will it profit when Jesus appears
Without love it will all be in vain
Without His compassion
what have you gained
You give to the needy, you feed the poor
You go to church on Sunday
when they open the door
Have you done it all for a show
To receive praise of man down here below
Would you give all you had
if God asked you to
Or would you get angry,question
Why He would ask this of you
You feel you have done your part
Did what you do,come from your heart

Too Busy
Have we to many things to
keep us busy today
that we don�t have the time
to even kneel and pray
then we need to take a look
at our lives without delay
we need to search out the old path
and walk in Jesus way
If there�s dust on your Bible,
dust on God�s Holy Word
you need to stop and think
what have you put first
if your life is so busy
that you don�t take time to pray
you need to weigh the cost
what�s more important today
Is God in your schedule
or you just don�t have the time
you have to go to work you hit the sack at nine
your evenings are taken by kids and PTA
there just aren�t enough hours in your busy day

Winning Team
We attend the football games and baseball too
we stand and cheer the winning team
the opposition we boo
we go to church on Sunday we sit quietly on our seats
so refined and dignified the sermon we hear preached
do we cheer the winning team
do we know which one we�re on
do we boo the enemy have we all been conned

As we leave the stadium we are all a glow
our team was the winner our emotions we show
the joy that we feel is hard to contain
we tell each one we meet about the football game
we leave the church the same way we went
even though our teams the winner
we don�t share it with our friends
why can�t we share our joy like the football fans
are we to hold in our emotions is that part of God�s plan

Do you need a sermon
Do you need a sermon, to make you feel more guilt
do you want to hear my problems,maybe I can tell you how I felt
do you want to change the subject,did you hear about Bill?
maybe I can tell you how to do it,maybe offer you a pill

Do you want me to just listen,talking always seems to help
maybe if I just sit quietly then you'll begin to hear yourself
the problem may seem less threatening than when you began
it seems that all you needed was the listening ear of a friend

Now you can admit it wasn't as bad,as you first thought
I didn't help you make the wrong move
in satan's snare, you weren't caught
tomorrow will be better,it seems to take care of itself
you let your spirit lead you,you want to be in Gods will

Moses
Moses led the children from bondage
but they didn�t realize
He could lead them safely through
instead they tried to analyze
the situation they were in,seemed to be worse
than from which they came
they wanted to return so Moses they blamed

They didn�t stop to think
they brought it on themselves
they didn�t heed Moses guidance,
instead they all rebelled
they built themselves idols,
which they worshipped day and night
Moses on the mountain praying
for God to make things right

Because of disobedience
they would wander forty years
in the wilderness they would wander
because God they wouldn�t hear
they would not enter the promised land
their own fate they had set
by doing things their own way,
what they planted they would get

Don't Look Back
Sometimes when burdens weigh me down I hear a voice say turn around
but I won't look back for my hand is on the plough
Jesus comes and rescues me restores my strength and meets my need
I can't turn back I must go where Jesus leads
Are you a lost sheep gone astray somehow you have lost your way
Jesus is standing waiting to welcome you home
just like the prodigal son his father stood when it seemed hope was gone
no don't look back, can't you see you're not alone
We are in a battle as we walk from day to day
if Jesus is your captain he will lead you all the way
you must read his word daily and don't neglect to pray
you are sure to make it home if you trust and obey
You must stand and not look back you must stand and not fear
you must press onward to the prize that is so near
the race will soon be over the battle has been won
just keep your eyes on Jesus He's standing urging you on
There's no time to look back the time is so near we're gonna hear the trumpet sound
then Jesus will appear
In a time when no man thinks soit's gonna be time to go
if you look back you could be left here below
