Tempered Heart

The temptation of that spirit of distrust
Is an enemy to defeat and we must

For it always comes when times are dark
To place an attack upon your aching heart

But God is not a man that He should lie…
For He’s made precious promises to you and I

Promises that He has spoken
Promises that He’s never broken

Promises He has kept
Even as we wept

So whenever distrust tries building a home in your head…
Lift your eyes unto those blessed hills instead

For under the shadow of the Almighty you will find
An abiding peace for your heart and mind.

A Mother’s Love

On this Mother’s Day, we thank the Lord above,
For mothers who reflect His mercy, grace, and love.
With gentle hands and faithful prayers…
That shower God’s light in daily care.

No matter how difficult the task
On her knees for wisdom she asks…
For Him to make the path straight
As for an answered prayer she waits.

Her heart is steady, kind, and true,
Sharing blessings from Heaven ev’ry day fresh and new
May Christ surround her as long as she lives
And guide her footsteps for all she gives.

“Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:” (Proverbs 31:28 NKJV)

Promises And Possibilities

When life gets hard and you don’t know what to do…
Trust in the Lord, He will see you through

When you’ve lost your strength and have none to find
Pray to Him for peace of mind

When the world looks bleak and no hope do you see
Remember He’s that light for you and me.

The conclusion to the whole matter anywhere you look…
You’ll find the anwer just open His Book

And in those many pages you will see…
All the hope and promises for you and for me.

A Reflection of Divine Love

Mending hearts is how He works…
While angels stand watch as His clerks
Mending relationships He does that too
All because He loves me and you.

While we sleep
His angels stand keep
While we walk
He often talks

When we cry
His Words are a lullaby
For every trouble that finds us…
Teaching us in Him we must always trust

No matter how many failures or tries…
He keeps us under His watchful eye
Every step we take He forever keeps…
For He who keeps us never slumbers or sleep

And in this we should be thankful everyday
For it is He who eternally keeps us in His way.

Night Vision

Was in the wrong place with the right intensions
But soon discovered that good intensions fall into several dimensions
When you’re at a masquerade party
And deceit has become so hearty…

Don’t allow bitterness to enter the process
You’ll miss the mark I must confess
Unless you keep searching for God’s truth
Then the answer will become more resolute

The more you study the Word and discernment kicks in
You will find that God is your one true friend
The enemy in his cunningness
Will try to keep your destiny in a mess..

For he knows time is unforgiving unless God chooses to redeem it
No matter how dark the prospects—Father’s righteous path is still lit
Just forgive, pray, repent and keep moving on…
And before you know it He’ll show you exactly what is wrong.

Hope Eternal

His death, to many…
brought grief upon grief
And in their hearts
There was no sign of relief

Their Jesus was gone
This was oh, so wrong
They’d spread the palms
And sang the song…

But what they could not see
Their salvation was on the way
For when He gave up the ghost
We were all saved that day

Then on that third day he rose with all power and might
Was seen by many, by day and by night
And because of His great sacrifice we all now see
What a marvelous Savior He is to you and to me.

Sorrow’s Embrace

“He saw the weight, the silent cost,
A world undone, a people lost.
Yet bore it all with steadfast grace,
Love written deep in sorrow’s face.

From wounded soul came mercy’s plea,
That many might be counted free.
Through pain, a purpose shining true—
Our debts were paid, our hearts made new.”
