Divine Appointments

Christian, were you ever upset
By some unforeseen delay,
But later you looked back to see
That it kept you from harm's way?

We set dates and make appointments.
We try to plan the best we can,
But sometimes God in His wisdom
Sees for us a much better plan.

We call it accident or coincidence
Or some other words we use and say
To explain the reason things happen
That send disappointments our way.

Consider the example of Joseph.
Look at the injustice he withstood.
He was the target of evil plotting,
But then God turned it into good.

In our limited human finite minds,
We just cannot seem to understand
That God makes divine appointments
When we are led by His mighty hand.

Surrender

Life is a blessing given to us

From the day of our own birth
And through the hands of God Himself
He gives us all self-worth.

We all have the choice to choose what's right
'Cause he gave us all free will
For if you choose the things of this world
You will surely roll down hill.

You will land in a hole that you can't get out
No matter how hard you try
And no one will be able to help you out
No matter how loud you cry.

There is only one way out of this hole
On a path that is very thin
You must surrender your life to Jesus Christ
Then He'll forgive you for all your sin.

He will set your feet on solid ground
He will help you walk up hill
He will show you how to choose what's right
Then He'll show you His own will.

When we keep our eyes on Jesus
God's only begotten Son
Everything comes in second
For the Lord is number one.

At God's Slide

At God's Side

Having shed so many tears
Knowing this day would come
But I would not change one day
No, no, not even one.

From the very first memory
His face was strong and clear
Dad was a Christian man
And these things he held dear.

God, family, country, life
This is what mattered most
Of the Lord, our God and Savior
My Dad would surely boast.

He understood his limitations
And prayed to God each day
Asking the Father to help him
This was my Dad way.

He was someone to everyone
A son, husband, father, grandpa
The sweetest thought of all, was
His poetry-He wrote of God's call.

"When we have no place to go"
Speaks elegantly even after he died
He leaves behind a legacy of words
"Alive" and well now at God's side.

Oh, how it hurts to lose him
But we are blessed to know
Dad words of reassurance
For he had a place to go.

A Mansion in the heavens
A spirit life quite dignified
Feel the awe and truth of this
God and Dad side by side.

To See My Savior's Face

I looked through photo albums,
And memories flooded my heart.
Seeing many departed loved ones
Really made my teardrops start.

I looked through my Bible
And then read John fourteen.
My glad heart filled with joy
As I began to picture that scene.

Someday my God will call me
To that great Heavenly home.
Then I will see those loved ones,
And nevermore will I roam.

My greatest desire when arriving
In that glorious, beautiful place
Will be to meet my precious Savior
And to look upon His dear face.

A Perfect Masterpiece

Peered I, up to the heavens. So stunned, I stood in awe.

His hand swept over East to West and this is what I saw...
A sight exposing every truth, that made me nearly faint.
A sight, that in a million years, no man could ever paint.
A special, brand new masterpiece that God creates each day.
A special, brand new vision that He gives along my way.

I see a vast creation that is pure outside and in
before His work is tarnished by horrendous, evil sin.
He paints His skies so differently. No two are just the same.
He paints the creatures on the earth - the wild and the tame.
The sunsets over mountain peaks are not identical -
and snowflakes falling from the sky - not precisely equal.

The clouds float freely with the breeze while rolling on thin air.
Though no two skies are just alike, they share the canvas there.
And no two meadows look the same as I walk down His path.
I see no trees identical when grown through nature's wrath.
Not equal are the mountain streams or creatures of the wild.
And so unique the sunsets are - as faces of a child.

So patiently, a flower bud waits ready to unfurl.
A swirl of brilliant petals bloom. I see a little girl.
Her whole life laid in front of her that she became forthwith -
another link within the chain this world had yanked her with.
Priorities had dragged her from her work to shopping mall.
And every day, a masterpiece - yet she had missed them all.

Now richly dressed as all the rest who never seemed to care,
she peered inside a cancer ward and saw young children there.
She saw the face of one small boy with cute and chubby cheeks -
and though the tears had dried away she saw the many streaks.
They washed away the happiness in life so short, but giving -
as sin has made the sky to fall on innocent still living.

God waves His hand across the sky, but have I failed to see -
out way beyond my own routine, beyond my vanity?
God paints a perfect masterpiece on each and every child.
I finally saw His masterpiece when that young child smiled.
Peered I, up to the heavens. Through tears, I prayed in awe.
His hand swept over East to West and that is what I saw...
