Yet, On He Came

The road was steep

Jagged rocks tore at His feet

Battering the soles of His sandals

Yet on He came

Divine appointments had

To be kept

He knew His destiny had called

From the eternal beginnings of time

An old wooden cross was

Waiting in the darkness

Yet on He came

Thousands of people had to be fed

They had gathered for days

Seeking the One who would heal

Diseases, infirmities, blind eyes,

Leprosy and tormented spirits

Many would be ungrateful

And cry crucify!

Yet on He came

He knew what lay ahead

Within the Father’s will

Betrayal and denial

By those He loved

Beating and abandonment

Three rusty nails

To pierce His hands and feet

Forsaken by the Father

A grave with a door of stone

Yet on He came

He knew He would be

Three days in the pits of hell

To bring back the keys of Heaven

To give them a choice

That had gone on before

He would defeat the enemy

Of mortal souls

But, rejection would be their choice

Yet on He came

He knew that in the future

I would need a Savior

To save me from the wrath of God

To wash me of my sins

And redeem my soul from

The eternal darkness of hell

I didn’t deserve His grace and mercy

Yet on He came.

Thank You Jesus for saving me

I am so grateful you came!

I will Sing My Song

I will sing my song for Jesus

Because to Him my soul belongs

I will sing of His dieing to save me

I will sing of His glory devine

I will sing my song for Jesus

Praying that others will sing along

I will sing praises to His Name in Glory

I will sing of the great eternal story

I will sing my song for Jesus

Because to Him my soul belongs.

I am the one

I am the one who did not return to say “Thank You.”

I am the one who mocked in my ignorance

I am the one who spit in His face

I am the one who pulled out His beard

I am the one who scourged Him

I am the one who nailed Him to the cross

I am the one who gambled for His robe

I am the one who denied Him

I am the one who betrayed Him

Yet He did not judge but loved.

I am the one who sat at His feet and cried her tears of gratitude

I am the one who pressed through the crowd

I am the one who was to be stoned when caught in my disgrace

I am the one who was a blind beggar but now can see

I am the one at the well who was given ‘Living Water”

I am the one who was dead but now my mama cradles me

I am the one who was a lunatic but am now in my right mind

Because He did not judge but healed.

I am the one who knelt at an old-fashioned altar

And accepted Him as my Savior and Lord

I am the one who daily brings my love and offerings of praise

I am the one who is set free from my past

I am the one who  will not taste  God’s eternal wrath to come

I am the one who is His Bride

I am the one who will ride the ‘white horse’ across the skies of heaven

I am the one He died for on cruel Calvary

I am the one who believed John 3:16-‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’

I am the one who the Great I AM calls His Own

I am the one who is the beloved of the ‘Beloved’

Because He did not judge but saved.

His Light

Cradled by the night

Alone with my thoughts

Yet darkness cannot consume me

The Light holds it at bay

“What Light?” you ask

‘His Light!” I say

Love that comes only from Jesus

Sweeps over me in waves of glory

Compassion abounds to me

His Truth bears the cross of time

Strengthens all who would come

“Follow Me!” says Truth

“I will show you the way

To find this miracle.”

“A new life of eternal hope

Built on the foundation of faith!”

I am surrounded by His unconditional love

And I am at peace. I have His Light

The Light of Jesus Christ!

Me For Thee

You are in the garden all alone

Kneeling and praying by a stone

I see You there

I see Your pain

I feel my teardrops as the rain

OH! How it hurts for me to see!

What You went through

To save me for Thee!

Standing in Line

Standing in line

Out here in the cold

Waiting to see You

Of whom I’ve been told

I hear You are my Savior

I hear You are my Lord

So, I am standing in line

Out here in the cold.

Standing in line

With a child’s broken heart

Prayng to see You

To get a new start

I hear You are so wonderful

I hear You are so true

So I am standing in line

What else can I do?

Standing in line

With tears in my soul

Seeking to find You

Of whom I’ve been told

I hear You will forgive me

I hear I’ll be whole

So I’m standing in line

Out here in the cold.

Now the door is open

And I’m going through

With out-stretched arms

I am drawn to You

No longer crying

I know that You are mine

I have found my Jesus

At the end of the line.

Glorious Breath

memories linger

haunting thoughts

deepening hole

can’t breathe

shadows dancing

reaching out

falling-falling

can’t breathe

swirling mist

lost souls

tormenting tears

falling-falling

can’t breathe

catch me-catch me

pleading-bleeding

looking up

expecting hope

lightning flashing

hands reaching

grasping-floating

saving grace

praising-loving

glorious breath

freedom-freedom

rising-rising

Glorious Breath!

He Gave His All

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.

Sweet Mercies Anew

As each new day

Gives birth to the now

Sweet mercies come

Not knowing just how

All things are possible

Within this span

That God has alloted

To mortal man

He sends His sweet mercies

In plentiful supply

To those who would seek

And not question the why

Some won’t receive

Though there’s a promise in place

They will turn away

Rejecting His grace

Yet new every morning

His sweet mercies will ride

To the heart that is open

And will ask Jesus inside

Oh! Come see the glory

That God has bestowed

Bask in the brightness

Of redemption’s soft glow

Call on the One

That is faithful and true

As rays from His Risen Son

Bring sweet mercies anew.

Letting Go

There’s not much joy in a sack full of holes

Nor in heavy burdens that exact their tolls

Empty sacks can’t get us anywhere

Hard are the burdens ‘we’ won’t share.

We’ll carry each little hurt, along with the pain

Not letting go, “What have ‘we’ to gain?”

“We’re not the ones who are at fault!”

“Why, should ‘we’ forgive?” “Bring hate to a halt?”

“Never,” ‘we’ say, “will ‘we’ forgive!”

“No, never, as long as ‘we’ live!”

Harboring these burdens of turmoil and strife

‘We’ allow them complete control of our life.

‘We’ in our own selfish, uncaring thoughts

Can’t seem to remember, nor do as ‘we’ ought

For God’s Word has told ‘us’ in more ways than one

Christ Jesus paid the price-redemption’s work is done!

He is asking ‘us’ now to lay down the hate

To forgive each other-it’s not to late

Let’s fill our hearts with joy galore

Extending mercy like never before.

‘We’ cast all of our cares on His strong back

Forgetting the past as love fills ‘our’ sack

Continuing on now forgiveness in tow

‘We’ receive God’s grace by ‘Letting Go!’
