The Great Exchange

He forgives,
the unforgivable
He loves
the undesirable.

He redeems,
the unjust
He atones
the corrupt.

He justifies,
the wicked
He paid for
the crooked.

He pities,
the helpless
He delivers
the hopeless.

He condemns,
not a one
He pardons
all evil done.

Jesus exchanged,
His life for ours
so won't you today
please give Him yours?
John 3:16

"For God so loved the world,
that he gave his
only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life."

In Thy Light

Oh, how Your wonder,
will shine inside me.
When these earthly eyes,
get a glimpse of Thee.

The beauty of Your glory,
will blaze upon my face.
In that very moment,
I will see Your amazing grace.

For in Thy light,
I will finally be.
And no more darkness,
will these eyes have to see.

Your righteousness will glow,
like the dazzling of the sun.
Flooding the heavens,
with the light of Your Son.

You are my shining Star,
the lamp unto my feet.
And in eternal happiness,
You promised we will meet.

For in Thy light,
there You will also be.
And Your wonder,
is all these eyes will see.
Psalm 36:9

Praise God For Springtime

Trees are adorned with green leaves.
The grass has turned green too.
Flowers are in bloom everywhere,
And I would like to pick a few.

Pretty pink and rosy red azaleas
Line my neighbor's cement walkway.
Blooms of beautiful Easter lilies
Greet me throughout the day.

God gives us different seasons
To enjoy His wondrous works of art.
With the beauty of the springtime,
He can gladden everyone's heart.

God teaches lessons through nature
As He reigns from His throne above.
He uses changes in the seasons
To show His power and wondrous love.

Springtime is a happy, joyous time
Of resurrection and of new birth
As seeds germinate and live again
And new growth springs from the earth.

Also during everyone's lifetime,
Each one needs to have a new birth.
We need to trust Jesus as our Savior
Before we leave this old earth.

How Do You Know God Loves Us?

Just the other day I heard a little boy ask
How do you know God loves us, as his mom's hand he clasped
His mommy said, have you seen the pretty setting sun
And the bright orange glow as a new day has begun

Look at moonbeams dancing across the pond
And the shooting stars out in the dark beyond
See the flowers that clothe the world
All of God's beauty that is unfurled

Look at your puppy who playfully yips and barks
Listen to the song of the meadow larks
Watch gentle snowflakes as through the air they fly
And see a color filled rainbow across the sky

Feel mommy's loving arms hold you tight
Hear me whisper, I love you with all my might
See your daddy and little sister at play
And see the closeness of our family as we kneel to pray

God gave us His creations from up above
Through His awesome glory and His amazing love
Everything on this earth He created out of love for you and me
Our families and friends, a gentle touch, kind words and all the beauty that we see!

It all says I love you so very very much
Every hug and encouragement you hear is part of God's touch
You never ever have to doubt God's love for you
For everywhere you look, His love comes shining through!

Tomorrow May Be Too Late

Have you ever thought to send a card or letter,
To encourage someone that they may feel better?
Do you know of a lost relative or a friend,
Who needs the Gospel so they may know their end?

Have you ever been impressed to hand out a tract,
To those with whom you come in contact?
Or are you sidetracked by the busyness of the day,
And you forget to talk to someone along the way?

Have you ever thought that you could be the only one,
To give the message of salvation to that someone?
Did you pass up an opportunity to be a witness,
And because you did, Heaven someone may miss?

When the Lord lays someone on your heart,
Don't put off another day the Gospel to impart.
Behold, today is the day of salvation-don't wait;
Because for someone, tomorrow may be too late.
