He Dwell In Me



I want to follow Jesus; I want to do His will,
He gave me eternal life, when He died up on the hill.
I will go wherever He sends me, heed His every call,
He is with me every step; He lifts me when I fall.
 
Peace I’ve never known, until that special day,
When I gave myself to Him; and He took my sins away.
Tranquility and joy, reign forever in my heart,
The love I have for Him means we will never part.
 
Always will I worship Him, praise His Holy name,
I belong to Him that is why He came.
Until I meet Him in Paradise, come face to face at the altar,
In Him I will always trust, and I will never falter.
 
The precious gift from Jesus, the gift that He did give,
Was given for me so freely, so that I might live.
By the Redeeming love of Jesus, I have been set free,
And by His Grace and Mercy, He now dwells in me.

WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY


WHAT A GLORIOUS DAY 

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
THE SUN WAS SHINNING BRIGHT,
I SPOKE TO GOD
I KNEW HE WOULD MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT.

I DIDN'T WANT ANY TROUBLES
TO MAR THIS LOVELY DAY,
I SPOKE TO GOD
TO TAKE ALL MY WORRIES AWAY.

I WOULD CALL UP MY FRIENDS
WE'D SHARE SMILES, GIGGLES AND HUGS ALL AROUND,
I SPOKE TO GOD
PLEASE HELP US STOMP OUR SADNESS INTO THE GROUND.

TODAY IS TOO SPECIAL
TO LET WORRIES MAKE US SAD,
I SPOKE TO GOD
HELP US ALL TO BE HAPPY AND GLAD.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE
THERE'S LOTS TO BE DONE,
I SPOKE TO GOD
NOW I WANT TO SHARE HAPPINESS WITH EVERY ONE.

VISIT THE SICK - GIVE THEM HOPE
SHARE A BLESSING WITH SOMEONE TODAY,
I SPOKE TO GOD
TO FIND HAPPINESS - CAST YOUR DESPAIR AWAY.

MAKE THE MOST OF EVEN THE WORST DAY
LAUGH AND DANCE IN THE RAIN,
I SPOKE TO GOD
DON'T BE BITTER - THERE'S SO MUCH TO GAIN.

EVEN THE DARKEST OF ALL DAYS
TOMORROW WILL NOT LOOK NEARLY SO BAD,
I SPOKE TO GOD
HE NEVER WANTS TO SEE US UNHAPPY OR SAD.

SO SMILE, TAKE A WALK, LOOK ALL AROUND
ENJOY EVERY DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST,
I SPOKE TO GOD
FORGIVE, FORGET, STAY AWAY FROM THE PAST.

FILL YOUR LIFE WHILE ON EARTH WITH A BASKET OF JOY
DON'T FRET, TAKE TIME TO RELAX AND REST,
I SPOKE TO GOD
JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN, BUT DO YOUR BEST.

God Bless

Autumn in the Garden


Autumn in the Garden 
When the frosty kiss of Autumn in the dark
Makes its mark
On the flowers, and the misty morning grieves
Over fallen leaves;
Then my olden garden, where the golden soil
Through the toil
Of a hundred years is mellow, rich, and deep,
Whispers in its sleep.

'Mid the crumpled beds of marigold and phlox,
Where the box
Borders with its glossy green the ancient walks,
There's a voice that talks
Of the human hopes that bloomed and withered here
Year by year,--
Dreams of joy, that brightened all the labouring hours,
Fading as the flowers.

Yet the whispered story does not deepen grief;
But relief
For the loneliness of sorrow seems to flow
From the Long-Ago,
When I think of other lives that learned, like mine,
To resign,
And remember that the sadness of the fall
Comes alike to all.

What regrets, what longings for the lost were theirs!
And what prayers
For the silent strength that nerves us to endure
Things we cannot cure!
Pacing up and down the garden where they paced,
I have traced
All their well-worn paths of patience, till I find
Comfort in my mind.

Faint and far away their ancient griefs appear:
Yet how near
Is the tender voice, the careworn, kindly face,
Of the human race!
Let us walk together in the garden, dearest heart,
Not apart!
They who know the sorrows other lives have known
Never walk alone.

By Faith Not By Sight


By Faith Not By Sight

 by Jan Bagwell 

 God Bless!

In waking I give thanks
In what’s not known
I have to trust, My Father
That yesterday’s pain is gone
For you’ve given me this day
For me to rejoice
To faithfully follow
To willingly hear your voice
For trials will come sometimes
And burdens I’ll have to bare
But you promised me father
To always be there
So I’m standing on that promise
No matter what I go through
And just in case I stumble
I’m depending on you
For you hold the master plan
And your path is always right
So today I’m embarking
By faith and not by sight

Never Lose Faith


 Never Lose Faith

In life, there is never a time when God leaves our side,
All you got to do is trust in him and the bad times will slide.
Never lose hope in God and more over in yourself,
For God has blessed everyone with a angel.
This  friend will protect you in times of distress,
He will lead you where you ought to go, 'coz he knows best.
And when you find yourself completely lost and without a clue,
Just smile my friend, and a new door will open up for you.

In this time of electing a President , I have  notice people are being , mean spirited , and these are supposed  to be christian .But you are  a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:. So in the name of Jesus do not be one of those people who attacked others just because they are not going voting like you . Remember, we are God children and our Lord will protect us .. And the election will be over one day but what evil words that has come out your mouth will be remember . So be in love with  one another called each other brother and sister in Christ our Lord , being one family , one Lord , one faith , one mind and one accord . We all have different choices but should not let it divide us . Praise our great and most wonderful God who saved us from our sins .!!
