every trail I have come across
led to every place
I have ever been
whether I took them
or simply passed on by
they knew the way
that led me straight to you
so abide with me
stay close to me
lead as you always do
so that every place
I will ever go
is still the trail
I walk with you.
I want to wash all cares away
With living waters so supreme
Sing the glorious’Amazing Grace’
See the smiles of my Savior King.
I want to wear a crown of gold
With jewels so sparkling bright
Live in a mansion like I’ve been told
Bask in the glory of Heaven’ Light.
I want to see my Master’s home
With the angels all around
Smell the fragrance of each room
Listen to each heavenly sound.
I want to be for all eternity
With my Lord and King
Praise Him with heart-felt sincerity
Hear the voices of the angels sing.
I want to walk forever free
With God’s only begotten Son
Talk with Him about all I see
And behold the face of the Holy One.
Psalm 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.”
“We spend our days as a tale that is told.”
From our infancy until we are considered old
So what will our life’s tale have to say,
About our walk into this God-given day?
Were we good children when put to the test?
Was patience a nearly impossible quest?
Would we bring honor to our God and King?
If our life was to be our only offering?
Our days are flying by at eternal speed
As God is still meeting our earthly need
So will this be the testimony of our broken soul?
The tale that Christ Jesus has made us whole?
OH! We must tell the tales that need to be told!
The ones about Heaven and the streets of gold
Show the children the paths to be trod
How to be saved by the truths of God
We need to speak about the love that flowed so free
From Calvary’s timbered bloody tree
OH! Sinner listen and don’t walk hell’s path
The Word tells us of the Father’s eternal wrath
The Truth has been told for God cannot lie
There are two places to go when we die
We will be responsible for what we behold
For God has written down the tale our life told.
Day comes before the night
Night before the day
Each has it’s turn to dance
Before they go away
Darkness reaps as in a trance
Before succumbing to the light
Dawn exposes the wrongs
That Jesus would make right
Daily heeding the coming day
The blackness recedes
And backs away
Time must fulfill its alloted needs
As it searches on and on
Reaping the whirlwind
Then is gone
Shadows linger upon the mortal’s face
Coldness holds on to the heart
In it’s unholy embrace
Darkness again makes a call
From it’s lonely, hopeless place
Must not listen or we will fall
Oh do not heed this bequiling voice
Make the Light of God your chosen way
Repentance should be the only choice
For therein lives the hope of day
Within all the human race
Yes the Light has birthed and Spirit borne
The Father’s enduring grace.
No wonder the Father will be angry
When His earthly children fail to see
The miracle of what He had done
When He sent His only begotten Son
This special gift from heaven above
Arrived with all power, authority, and love
Redemtion came as a babe that day
To be the Truth, the Life, and the Way
Bound by the promise to give His all
He willingly answered the Father’s call
His Mama wept her tears of grateful joy
As she held her precious little Boy
Knowing as they were streaming down her face
She had been touched by wondrous grace
Now every mother’s child can chose to be
Redeemed and miraculously set free
“Choose ye this day” is still the call
To serve the One who gave His all.
Daylight and darkness through my window streams
Waking me when the night shadows lift
Then at evening’s tide lulling me into my dreams
Each new day bringing to me it’s glorius gift.
Will I open this bounty of goodness and grace?
Or fretfully peek into tomorrow’s box of woe?
Unopened gifts that my memories cannot embrace
Only gather dust their contents to never show.
The Father sends His gifts wrapped in the quiet morn
Floating on the fragrace of the dawn’s fragile rose
Mercy and forgiveness share joys that are freely borne
To my hurting heart, the reason only He knows.
It is up to me now to carry to the end of my day
These precious gifts of love that He does bestow
And with His Light to show me the way
I will open the gift of eternity’s rainbow.
‘You’ say, “I thought ‘you’ were a Christian?!
When a flaw in me ‘you’ see
‘You’ were in the wrong!
So, why are ‘you’ yelling at me?
I didn’t talk behind ‘your’ back
With cruel barbs like ‘thee’
Oh, Yes, I heard what ‘you’ said
And I tried to let it be
But ‘someone’ kept it going
So why are ‘you’ yelling at me?
I didn’t give ‘you’ what ‘you’ wanted
Evidently that’s the key
I am not a perfect person
And have never claimed to be
I make plenty of my own mistakes
So, why are ‘you’ yelling at me?
‘You’ could hardly wait to point them out
Dear soul this ought not to be
If I was ‘you’ and I’m glad I am not
I’d take this time to repent on bended knee
And shut my mouth before the coming end
Instead of always yelling at me!
For someday soon we will all stand together
Inside of forever’s vast eternity
We’ll be called before the only Judge of this universe
The Books will be opened for each to see
Then with the truth of our lives being revealed
Which one will be in the wrong? ‘you’ or me?
Clear across the ocean’s sky
Is a land I’ve never seen
Where rainbows and orchids
Over mountain tops do lean
Where waterfalls with wooded lanes
Dance on air so clean
Where precious gems and sapphire jewels
Sit in the sun to gleam
Where shady nooks with snow white sands
Whisper lovingly to the wind
Where mountain trails and valley grass
Surround a sky blue stream
Where friends and loved ones, gone on before
Listen sweetly as angels sing
Where mighty chorus bands
Salute the glorious King
Where everyone, God and man
Are always as they seem
Clear across the ocean’s sky
Is a land that waits for me
Where rainbows and orchids
Forever fill my dreams.
Today is the unseen image of yesterday’s child
Birthed by moments which come without end
Chains of seconds merge to make the new
As fading golden rays of the sun descend.
Steps upon steps follow within the given pace
Leading to the path that will constantly send
Mortals over the rocky trails of deepest need
To the calm smooth roads that should have been.
“Where will this day take us?” life does ask
As darkness dances upon the swirling wind
The minutes and hours question troubled thoughts
Quiet musings wander across the mind dear friend.
How will todays choices affect our eternal date?
With all the unknown just around the bend
Have we made the best use of our alloted time?
For the coming tomorrow may just be our journey’s end.
Proverbs 3:5,6 (5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (KJV)
Acknowledge the LORD in all thy ways
And He will direct your paths
Washing clean your sin-stained past
With the shed blood of Calvary
Mighty angels He could have called
Turned away not cared at all
But the glory before Him was all He could see
So He went to the cross for a sinner like me.
The Great I AM had called Him home
The sins of this world for us atoned
Now we’ll give Him all honor and praise
Acknowledging the LORD in all of our ways
And whatever we do, we’ll know it’s true
God’s grace is sufficient for me and you
He will carry our burdens all for free
He has paid the price on an old wooden tree.
