I am forever

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
where somebody, everybody wants to take my last breath
I'll keep my head up, stand straight and walk tall
Though my body is a target, my spirit can never fall
In the middle of the desert or the cold city streets
it's just a matter of time before I'm covered in the sheets
and when my number's up, when my time has finally come
I know I am forever as my body falls numb...

I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me
and in the heat of battle, I bow down on one knee
and thank you, Christ, for this unwavering courage
I thank you Lord for this faith that they will never discourage
My spirit cannot be killed by the actions of men
I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid to never live again
There's a bullet with my name on it, that's how the story's told
I know I am forever as my body falls cold...

Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me
They shield me and protect me and they set me free
Free to be fearless facing the great unknown
and if I ever feel lonely, I know I'm never alone
You are my shepherd, Lord, I am always in your sight
and if I die today I'll be alive again tonight
and should I die tonight, I'll be alive again by dawn
I know I am forever as my spirit lives on...

What's It All About

Some are a little conflicted
About saying the sinner's prayer
No worries for God is smiling
He loves the heart laid bare.

But will Jesus walk into a heart
Just because of a simple prayer?
Again I say no worries dear ones
I believe God is already there.

No one knows your heart like God
If with Him you truly long to be
Christ gives the invitation to all
"Come live in Me," says He.

"But of Him you are in Christ Jesus
Who became wisdom for us from God"
Though not a prayer, but a walk
Down the rugged path Jesus trod.

You are in Him and He in you!
Words of hope and glory, I shout!
For He is able and I am not!
That's what the Christian life's all about.

The Truth, The Light, And The Way

Three men were hanging on crosses
After court proceedings were done.
Two of them were proven criminals.
Between them was God's only Son.

One criminal railed on Christ saying,
"Save Thyself if Christ Thou art."
The other said, "Don't you fear God?
In wrong doing, Christ had no part."

That criminal turned to Christ and said,
"When You're in Your Kingdom, remember me."
Jesus answered that criminal and said,
"With Me, today in Paradise you will be."

Jesus died to save both of these men,
And He died for you, and He died for me.
One of these men was forgiven of sin,
But the other criminal chose not to be.

Yes, three men were hanging on crosses
On that dreadful Crucifixion Day.
The One Who was hanging in the middle
Was the Truth, the Light, and the Way.

Remember only the truth will set you free

Empty Vessel.

I am an empty vessel
I'm nothing rather grand
The Lord has chosen simple me
To be His voice and hands
I know He lives within me
I know I have His power
But there is something stopping me
 Because all I do is cower.

It all comes down to taking risks
Embarrassment must cease
You see somebody needing help
The Lord will give you peace
To go and take His love to them
To aid them with their pain
This is just what Jesus did
His death is not in vain.

A Mature Birthday Celebration

 

A Mature Birthday Celebration

On this day I celebrate another birthday as I sit here
rhapsodizing and soliloquizing of the incredible grace and
blessings of God on my life!

My real wealth is in my salvation, my relationships, my joy,
my peace and the love in my heart! The older I become, the more
I appreciate the little things in life that others often take
for granted.

It is not about where I am or what I have but who I am with that
matters most. In earlier years I rejoiced over things, but now
I am fulfilled by pursuing my purpose, leaving a legacy and
reaching my destiny.

In essence, the longer I live the more I realize that it is not
about me but ALL about HIM and serving others!

I'm honored to be His servant...
still cheerfully serving!
