Jesus, The Kingdom of God

I carry the Kingdom of God with me; He is with me everywhere I go.
It's the kingdom Jesus proclaimed, as He taught in this world below.

The Kingdom of God now stands before you,
living in me, as you can see.
But had it not been for the blood of Jesus,
there would have been no kingdom for me.

Many of us are filled with the Kingdom of God,
and our lights are shinning bright.
But there are some that have let their lamps grow dim,
because of sin surrounding their light.

So let's trim our wicks in our lamps,
which will make our lights shine bright.
And then the Kingdom of God can be seen in us,
through the darkest of all nights.

There are some of you who have never received the Kingdom of God,
and don't understand what I'm saying.
But if you will repent of your sins, and truly change your ways,
then you will have this Kingdom of God, just by simply praying.

Ask Jesus to forgive you for all of your sins,
and ask Him to come into your heart.
And Jesus, the Kingdom of God, will give you
everlasting life and a brand new start.

" Must tell before I die

Must Tell Before I Die"
____________________

This poem's about a message,
I'll write and testify.
It's something I must tell you,
must tell before I die.

A message that's so urgent,
an urge I can't deny.
A message sent from heaven,
must tell before I die.

Poetry sent from heaven,
that praise and glorify.
A mission rhyming words,
must tell before I die.

A strangely Holy mission,
don't think or ask me why.
A mission I must finish,
must tell before I die.

I'll write you Holy poems,
a message from on high.
A message I must say,
must tell before I die.

My Father said to tell you,
words you need to know.
Special gift of poems,
shows He love you so.

Blessed me with His words,
made them fit and rhyme.
Gave them secret power,
to gift to you in time.

Words to help you Judge,
words to help you know.
Words to help you rule,
words to help you grow.

Words to help you conquer,
words to help you gain.
Words to help you win,
words to help you train.

He'll use His Holy words,
let you read and view.
Gently touch your heart,
make them ring as true.

Ring as revelation,
ring as victory sign.
Ring as secret training,
ring as hope divine.

Ring as crucial urgent,
ring as kingdom plan.
Ring as Holy privilege,
ring as His command.

Each poem designed to help,
each poem a puzzle piece.
Each will make you stronger,
your wisdom will increase.

The poems will go inside you,
they'll Bless without delay.
Quickly shake awake you,
wake you from the fray.

Wake you from your coma,
break you from your spell.
Lift you from the dead,
steer you clear of hell.

Open up your eyes,
let you finally see.
Uncover what was hidden,
help to set you free.

Help you overcome,
help you to prepare.
Help you grow as king,
help you grow as heir.

Heir to kingdom come,
heir to crowning day.
Heir to Holy poems,
read along the way.

Poems to Bless your heart,
poems to lift you too.
Poems to give you light,
poems to see you through.

Poems to make you think,
poems to help you climb.
Poems to give you lessons,
poems to teach and rhyme.

They'll teach about His heart,
His kingdom yet to come.
His secret love promise,
your training as His Son.

The citizens of your kingdom,
your overcome as king.
Hope that's sent from heaven,
and other Holy things.

A strangely Holy mission,
don't think or ask me why.
A mission I must finish,
must tell before I die.

When my mission's finished,
and done all I can do.
Gift of poems delivered,
my Father's gift to you.

A gift that's strangely wise,
a gift that's something new.
A gift that'll last forever,
a gift that's Holy too!

I'll write you Holy poems,
a message from on high.
A message I must say,
must tell before I die.

A message that's so urgent,
an urge I can't deny.
A message sent from heaven,
must tell before I die.

He will Your Mountain

He'll Move Your Mountain

It's faith that moves mountains
It's faith that will please
Our Father in heaven
Who witnesses these: A child that will love Him
Who prays ev'ry day.
A father, a mother
Who teach God's true way.
A tongue that will speak truth
A heart that is right.
A longing to serve Him
With all of our might.
Faith is the victory
The old Hymns proclaim.
Our God has moved mountains
And He's still the same.
The God of the Bible
Moves mountains today.
For those who will trust Him
And humbly obey.
He will move your mountain.
He will part the sea.
He'll answer from heaven.
Providing your need.
He cares for His children
And He hears their cry.
Our Father of mercy
No doubt, will supply.
So don't get discouraged
And keep to the test.
Tell Jesus your problem
And He'll do what's best.

Look around you

Look around you, what do you see?
The mass murders in Syria,
The nuclear threats in North Korea,
Do you think the world will live in peace?
Look around you, what do you see?
The disastrous typhoons in Manila,
The huge earthquakes in China,
Do you think the world will be able to survive?
Look around you, what do you see?
The bombings in Boston Marathon,
After the horrifying events of 9/11,
Do you think it’s the last explosion?
Look around you, what do you see?
Do you see your brother as an enemy?
Why can’t you bow your head,
And together we pray?
Look around you and look very clear,
Can you justify killing innocent children?
When will these terrorist attacks end?
The world needs now clean and fresh air.
Look around you, what do you see?
The world needs a guiding light in the dark,
To better be able to fight every evil mark,
In chaos, the world needs to be free.
In tragic times,
Forget about all the differences,
The world needs peace and love for everyone,
And these needs need to be done.

God Bless !

Lord, thank you so much for all the blessings you have provided in my life. I have so much, and I know it is all because of you. I ask you today to continue to provide me with these blessings and to provide me with the opportunities I need to continue to do your work here.
You always stand beside me. You provide me with a future full of your love, blessings, and guidance. I know that, no matter how bad things get, you will always be by my side. I know I may not see you. I know I may not feel you, but I thank You for giving us Your Word that tells us you are here.
You know my dreams, Lord, and I know it is a lot to ask to realize those dreams, but I ask that you hear my prayer of hope. I would like to think that my hopes and dreams are all part of your plans for me, but I trust that you always know better. I put my dreams in your hands to mold and fit to your will. I surrender my hopes to you. In your holy name, Amen.

A Moonlight Ride

A Moonlight Ride

Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze. How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting; she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoked and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(And by a pass, I don't mean playing football.)
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff say away:
"Please take me home, I don't want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car was alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said  "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car?  "Jenny cried.
"! We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there, she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes.
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse,  "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
