For so long chpt 8

For so long

For so long You were a stranger to me.

We passed each other so many times.

You touched my heart.

Yet, we were so far apart.

I did not know that,

You were so easy to find.

Satan had me in this trap.

I felt I had totaled my mind.

I though I was beyond repair.

My life was in total despair.

I knew how to find You.

Yet, I chose not too.

You came into my life like a ball of fire.

Learning about You, I could never tire.

There is so much to know.

So many people to show.

You took my wife.

You replaced her with the abundant life.

I always knew You had something in store for me.

It is You Jesus . . . . .  My Lord . . . . .  I believe.

You have touched my heart,

In a way, that no one else wanted too.

You changed me and made me brand new.

Lord, You are my counterpart.

One day Lord, I will see You in paradise.

That is only because of Your sacrifice.

Your word is so intense,

It gives me so much confidence.

I will do nothing but excel!

As I climb Your stairwell.

As I receive your Saving Grace,

I realize it is no longer a race.

Grace chpt 8

Grace

I have a walk because of Grace.

My old life is gone without a trace.

I will not look back.

Grace keeps my life on track.

It is so nice to feel free.

God You have allowed this to be.

As I reach

You talk to me and teach.

There is nothing more important,

Than God’s saving Grace.

I close my eyes,

Arrive in his place.

There is so much peace there.

That is when I am so close to You.

I feel You touch my heart.

Your love God, is so true.

God, I know you love me so much.

I feel Your love with every touch.

When I feel no love from anybody.

You have a way of making me feel like somebody.

Lord, Grace me with Your presence.

Your word is sometimes so intense.

I know Lord there can be no rejection.

With You Lord, there is such a connection

Lord, it is You that keeps me strong,

Live just like You.

And never do anything wrong.

Lord Jesus, everything about You is true.

Jesus, remember me,

I want to walk with You.

What an honor that you would accept what you see.

It is You Lord Jesus; it is You that I believe.

I look for You in paradise.

I do not have to think twice.

Lord, You are my Savior.

It is You Lord that I implore.

Holy for your Name chpt 8

Lord, it is Your love that saves me.

The strength of Your word, that is what I see.

Your Son is the only one that can save us.

He is the King, He is Jesus.

Lord, I send my love to You.

My love is so true.

However it can never compare to the love You show me.

Nothing compares to when You gave your Son to die for me.

The angels from heaven took Him away.

This allows me to get on my knees to pray.

The angel’s wing is spread for our Fathers Son.

Lord, may your will be done.

I know heaven calls my name,

One day I will be there.

Nothing will be the same.

Everything will be pure, nothing to blame.

Nothing will stand in my way,

As I look to you and pray.

Everyday in Christ I will grow.

I know everyday; Heaven is where I will go.

My Prayer chpt 8

My Prayer

Lord, I empower Your word.

O’God come to me.

I ask You please, show us the way.

That is what I ask when I pray.

Lord, as we get on our knees,

We give Glory to Your Name.

Lord, I beg You to reach out and touch our hearts.

Lord, we are so desperate for You.

So many hurting souls in the world

And in our Nation.

So many long to embrace Your love,

And Your passion for forgiveness.

Please God; unify all the people of the earth.

That is the cry of Your Church.

Lord, we are Your children.

Bring us together.

Lord quiet the thunder within us.

So that we may hear the wisdom of Your words.

We come to You,

And give you all of the Glory.

Lord, please reach out to the lost.

They do not know where they are going.

They desperately need Your embrace.

So much do they need Your love.

If they only knew,

That they could spend eternity with You.

All they have to do is know Your Son.

When they do, they have won.

Thank You Lord, for Your Son.

For Your love and patience,

Your sympathy and kindness.

But most of all for Your forgiveness.

Lord, We exalt your name above all other things!

In Jesus, name We Pray.

Amen

Out of Position chpt 8

Some are so lost.

Some have been found.

Some people’s lives go round and round.

There lives are totally out of position.

Is your life out of position?

Is it time for you to make a transition.

Do you know what your position can be?

Jesus Christ wants you . . . . . . believe.

What do people say?

When they hear your name.

Do they know that you pray?

Do they know that Jesus is your way.

Lord, what do people think,

When they hear Your name.

People without Jesus, are not the same.

People with Jesus, receive all the fame.

Do you rub off on people in a good way?

Or are you still searching for your heart.

You need to come to Jesus to get your start.

Then your heart and soul will never be apart.

He will bring you peace in your life.

He will calm the storm inside.

He will renew your passion for him.

He will remove the sin.

Lord when we look to the sky.

We open our eyes and give you a glance.

Your presences put us in a trance.

We never want to say good-bye.

Pain Again

Lord, I am struggling today.

It is my pride.

It is in my way.

It almost made me put my prayer aside.

Lord, I still got on my knees.

I asked, would you help me please?

I am in pain again,

And I do not know where to begin.

Sometimes I feel so alone,

And I know it is from the fear of the unknown.

Lord, I know you are there for me.

I feel trapped, please set me free.

This life you have giving me.

Is the beginning of a new frontier.

It is my old life that will slowly disappear.

Lord, please give me the strength to perserver.

Sometimes I try so hard.

I do not know what I try to guard.

It must be my heart.

The loneliness is tearing me apart.

God, You are my friend.

I am glad it will never end.

God you are the sunshine

This is only by your design.

God it is You,

That takes away my tears,

And removes all of my fears.

Your love is unfailing,  Your love is so true

You Are The Way Chpt 8

Lord, I am captured.

You have me under Your spell.

No wonder my life is going so well.

Until now, I have had nothing to tell.

 

I look to the Heavens

The stars are what I see.

You are the Lord of all creation.

You leave everything to the imagination.

 

You have such a commanding presence.

I feel it all around me.

Sometimes I feel so tense.

But You still give me confidence.

 

You are the way.

The only truth.

I know this,

Because I pray.

 

You fill me with love,

That I can express.

Spread the love so everyone can see.

That is who I want to be.

Chpt 8 You give me Words

 

Lord, You give me sight,

When I feel blind.

You give me words,

When they are so hard to find.

 

Lord, You are my protection,

In every worldly situation.

You give me hope,

And the tools to cope.

 

My problems have to with life in general.

So many problems to overcome.

Sometimes my problems just make me feel numb.

My life is going to have a better outcome.

 

When you become one with God.

Your sin becomes more evident.

You become more self aware of your actions.

Your life becomes more love and less reaction.

 

It is so hard knowing I will die.

When it is my time, I will probably cry.

I know I will be going to a better place.

That is when I will finally get to see Your Face.

Chpt 7: Broken Wings

Broken wings

 

Lord, my crippled wings

Were broken for so long.

It seems that,

Everything I did was so wrong.

 

You stood there waiting,

In addition, You let me stumble.

Sometimes I just flat took a tumble.

And that is how You allowed me to be humble.

 

So many days.

So many years.

Even a couple of decades.

I just lived in fear.

 

Not having God in my life,

Was nothing but a heartbreak.

Nothing but a major mistake.

So many times I felt like a fake.

 

If you sinned long ago,

Or today or yesterday.

Jesus is here to help you grow.

Just ask him when you pray.

Chpt 7 Answers

Answers

 

 

Sometimes I feel,

That You are not listening.

I ask questions.

I get no answers.

 

But You give me answers,

And I do not even know it.

It could be staring me right in the face,

And it is the beauty of your Saving Grace.

 

Sometimes Your answers are so subtle

They do not even deserve a rebuttal.

Your answers are always true.

I might not like them, but they come from You

 

It is my choice,

Even though the words came from your voice

If I do not want to accept what You say

Many times, that might happen, that is why I pray

 

I must be strong.

It is Your will.

Give God your obedience.

Pray with confidence.

Chpt 6: Wait for Me

"Wait for Me"

 

If you love something set it free.

Sometimes that is not what we see.

They say if it comes back it is meant to be.

Our Lord says, "Wait For Me."

 

God has always been here some of us did not know.

Often times he puts on a spectacular show.

The lightning comes and he lets the wind blow.

He makes the grass green, ocean blue and the trees grow.

 

So often we look to the sky

Many times we ask the Lord why?

He answers us in his own perfect way.

And no longer are we held at bay.

 

Some times you look down and wonder.

Many times that is when we hear the thunder.

Sometimes in the darkness we see the light.

That is when we know the future is bright.

 

I ask you children look no further look to me.

I am everywhere so follow me, don't you see?

I am in your dreams, soul and in your heart.

Follow me and never be apart. Mark: 1-17

 

He let the towers fall and that wasn't fair

God sees the World's despair.

He pulls us together and unites us all.

The world is one and we stand tall!

 

We live by faith and the word.

That is what the Lord say's that is what I have heard.

Being in the word is such a great thing.

It gives me so many reasons to praise you and sing.

 

Every where I look or stand

I see trouble through out the land

The terrorist came and the city came down

We all looked for answers but got nothing but a frown.

 

Let me be there in your time of need

Always look to me to sow the good seed

Look to me as I spread my wings.

I am the Almighty King of all Kings.

What a Precious Moment

 

Sitting in the dark

All by myself.

Nobody but You Lord,

Nothing but abundant wealth.

 

So quiet

So peaceful.

What a precious moment, so tranquil

Could I ask for anything else?

 

Everyday, I look forward to our time alone.

This is when I feel You are mine.

You are my stability, my cornerstone.

I know after we talk everything will be fine.

 

Lord You talk to me.

When I cannot hear.

Your voice soothes me,

It takes away my fear

 

Lord, You touch my heart.

Is there anything else a person could want?

Is there anything else I could do for You?

I will give You all of my love, this is true.

 

My prayer time is over.

I can see your awesome sunrise.

There is nothing on this Earth that You would compromise.

Lord, You leave me breathless, totally mesmerized.

 

Your sunrises are so beautiful

The colors are so magical.

The beauty You have created mystifies me.

You created it all, for everyone to see.

Touch my face.

 

So soft, yet so firm

Someday Lord, it will be my turn.

I will walk with you.

Up past where the sky is blue.

Will I have wings?

Will I get to go anywhere?

Will I get to sing?

What an awesome feeling.

Your word is helpful.

Your word is faithful.

Not in the past.

Do not live your life so fast

God's word is not easily spent.

 

One day at a time,

Give your life to Him.

Ask for forgiveness

Please Lord take away our sin.

 

If we do not have the Lord in our mind.

Then we are just wasting our time.

This is not how we should live.

We should spread the word and give.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness chptr 6 

What is forgiveness?
It is a burden lifted off your back.
Forgiveness will allow you to put your life back on track.
Forgiveness runs hand in hand with faithfulness.

 
Forgiveness comes from the heart.
Forgiveness is needed when two grow apart.
Forgiveness is what God does for us.
That is why He sent His Son, Jesus.

 
We want to learn to forgive,
Or it will be very hard to live.
Forgiving others for what they have done,
Will allow the Father and us to be as one.

 
Forgiving will break down the wall,
Between Heaven, Earth and us.
This will allow us to have,
A loving relationship with Jesus.

 
Forgiveness is a decision,
Only we can make that choice.
Forgiveness is obeying God,
Listening to his voice.

 
If you have anger that you repress.
Let it go or you will digress.
This emotion will eat you up inside.
One day you will wake and be dead on the inside.

 
Your life may be a mess,
Therefore, you must look to Jesus.
Through Him, you will have success.
He is there for all of us.

 
Forgiveness is getting your heart right with God.
Whatever you do, do not put on a facade.
Make the decision and turn it over to Him.
He will forgive you and your sin.

 
Is there someone in your life that you need to forgive today?

Dear Heavenly Father

Dear Heavenly Father,

 

I continue to find my way.

Sometimes I lead myself astray.

I do not mean to.

I just do.

 

It is getting old

And tiresome.

Speak to me Your Holiness.

Restore my faithfulness.

 

God you allow me

To have an open mind.

When my mind is open

You are so easy to find.

 

God, You are only lost,

When I have stopped looking.

That does not mean that You go away.

We all know that you are here to stay.

 

Please Lord,

Keep me strong.

I need more faith.

I praise You in Song..

 

I know you will let me mess up,

And make some mistakes.

I sometimes do not understand your way.

I know Lord, I must pray.

 

Coming to You,

Used to be so hard everyday.

I pray now.

The bible tells me what I need to say.

 

This comes from quite time,

When I am alone with You.

I feel You are mine.

Thank You for given me the sign.

 

No matter how bad it gets.

I know You will never leave me.

You will carry me,

When I do not have the strength to carry myself.
