And God Said

I had asked God for a miracle today

But the answer had not come

I had cried out in my selfish way

Expecting Him to jump and run

Where is my miracle? I need You so!

I have asked in the Lord’s Name

Dear God, why are You being so slow?

Everything is just the same!

As I was crying out to Him

A little girl called my name

And with a smile as bright as the sun

Through the door she came.

And God said, “There is your miracle today.”

Then my oldest daughter came through that door

Upset with the things of the day

As I smiled at her, this child I adore

She gave me a kiss as she went on her way

And God said, “There is your miracle today.”

My wonderful husband and son

Came through that very same door

Smiling and laughing, having such fun

Making my heart and spirit soar

And God said, “There is your miracle today.”

Dear God I ask forgiveness for my selfish thoughts

And with a humble heart I pray

Never let me forget the grace by which I was bought.

And God Said, “There is your miracle today!”

Walk With Me

Walk with me

Beyond our tomorrows

To a land of eternal dreams

Look at the stars, the moon,

And God’s own heaven

See the glory spread

Across the midnight sky

Walk with me through

Clouds of rain

And dewdrop shimmers

Cascading waterfalls

And moon lit seas

Walk with me

Beyond the crimson sun

Past quaking aspen

Ready for new snow

Scan the mountains

Reaching out imaginary arms

To embrace the coming day

Walk with me my love

All these wonders we can see

Arm and arm beyond our tomorrows

That still are yet to be.

By Holy Grace

Under the shadow of an empty cross

My Lord found me so lonely and lost

Tempted and tried I had fallen from grace

I just wanted to hide in a dark dreary place.

But from the bondage of my tormented soul

I heard Him whisper, “I can make you whole.”

“Oh, crying child don’t you see?

“By Holy Grace I have ransomed thee!”

No longer the captive of shameful tears

He cleansed by heart of all it’s fears

and brought me beyond my cross of shame

To an old wooden one that bore His name.

He walked me out of that shadowy night

Into the glory of His precious saving Light

I felt His love embracing me

As by Holy Grace he set me free.

Soft Winds

Life’s strong currents had carried us

Far beyond ourselves

Lost in the vacant worlds of loneliness

Where the trails of the ‘maybes’ and the ‘could be’s’

Had faded and disappeared

Not finding our way

We wandered down the path

Of fears and self doubt

Then over the crest of time

Soft winds began to blow

A tender kiss, a tiny hug

A look that meant so much

The warm breeze nudging love awake

Beckoning us to come to another place

A place of peace where the other mattered most

And to not be afraid of tomorrow

The soft winds whispered through our souls

Caressed the thoughts of our minds

Springing anew expectant hope

Of a lifetime spent as two

Taking tiny little steps at first

Each fearful of another fall

Yet knowing in our hearts

That the soft winds of a Father’s loving will

Had brought us safely home.

Rainbows and Orchids

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.

Only One

The world had had many conquerors

As everyone can see

But only One has conquered

The devil’s sin for me.

Only One has brought peace of mind

Only One has been so sweet, so kind

Only One has taken away the fear

Only One keeps me near

Only One has eased the pain

And only One will come back again.

Only One puts joy in my heart

Only One gives a brand new start

Only One has kissed my fevered brow

Only One has my salvation now

Only One has saved my soul

And Only One has nail-scarred hands to hold.

Look For The Eastern Sky

Where will you be when the trump of the Lord

Rings out in the eastern sky?

Will you be watching, looking up

Or left behind and wondering why?

He’s coming you know, cause He told us so

And the good Lord never lies

He’s gave us His  warnings so many times

So we are watching the eastern sky.

Over and over He’s called our names

But some haven’t heeded the cry

So if you are left behind on that wondrous day

You weren’t watching the eastern sky.

He’s gave us His Words in a mighty Book

That tells us how and why

But some didn’t read or even look

For the way to the eastern sky.

So, where will you be when the trump of the Lord

Rings out in the eastern sky?

Will you be watching, looking up

Or left behind and wondering why?

Look For the Cross

Each day is a struggle just to survive

In a world gone mad with sin

But we have a Savior, a shelter to hide

And the Holy ghost abiding within.

This power of our Savior, our precious King

Will protect us from the storms outside

His holy voice, the Spirit will ring

Across this sin-filled countryside.

Dear Jesus, my Lord, why can’t they see?

What they are looking for is easy to find

Just look for the cross on bended knee

There You will be so loving and kind.

You can’t be found in a bottle of wine

Or on an old barroom floor

Only by looking up can they see

This Savior that offers them more.

But they’ll search the valleys and the mountains high

Looking for that elusive peace of mind

Why can’t they see You drawing nigh?

Reaching out to all mankind.

Yes, reaching out to all mankind

You Don’t Have to Go It Alone

There is a place love goes when it’s dieing

A place so lonely, dark, and cold

A graveyard for the broken-hearted

At the very bottom of the soul.

I cannot understand why this is happening

What have I done? What did I do?

Oh Lord, please hear my heart crying

I can feel me breaking in two!

Then from the depths of despair, I hear Him call

As I faint from this weary load

Don’t give up! Take My hand. I love you!

You don’t have to go it alone!

I can’t carry this burden much longer

The pain is more than I can bear!

Dear Lord, I don’t even want to try!

Where are You? Why aren’t You here?

I can feel my life slowly leaving

There is no strength to carry on

Inside my mind I keep asking

Dear Lord, What have I done?

Then from the depths of despair, I hear Him call

As I faint from this weary load

Don’t give up! Take My hand! I love you!

You don’t have to go it alone!

A Taste of the Wilderness

Most of the time we think life is okay

We, as mortals, can usually find our way

Then comes the great life-changing needs

That knocks us to our ungrateful knees

We flounder under the unending stress

When faced with a taste of the wilderness.

Just like God’s children of old

Who built the forbidden calf of gold

They could not wait just one more day

For Mose’s to show them the Father’s way

Turning their backs on the land of promise

When faced with a taste of the wilderness.

People have not changed in all these years

Hardships are still here along with the tears

But we must never give up or ever turn back

Into the world of bondage to sin and of lack

Always seeking the path that God will bless

When faced with our own taste of the wilderness.
