In Thy Light

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.

The Threads of My Life

Lord, with needle and thread,
held in my aging hands
I see the pattern of my life
before You ~ as it stands.

I draw the thread of my youth,
and weave into my past
ever so thankful to You
that those days did not last.

I pull on the threads of faith,
and they come raveling apart
reminding me of the days
when You weren't in my heart.

I tug at the threads of doubt,
that were interlocked in my life
and see that they are woven
with the fibers of my strife.

I yank at the many stitches,
that were made for me to fit
into Your plans to keep me
from the bottomless, fiery pit.

Then suddenly I see,
silver threads coming though
reminding me of the days
when I started to trust in You.

There I can see the seam,
where we became as one
on that day I accepted You
as your Father's begotten Son.

Lord, I look at the threads of my life,
and I see how You put us together
how the fabric of my heart and soul
became to You ~ forever tethered.

And now I am working on,
those threads spun in eternal gold
so that one day I may rise with You
and all of Your glory I will behold!

Proverbs 27:21
King James Version

"As the fining pot for silver, and the
furnace for gold; so is a man to his
praise."

Just Pray!

In everything in life,
no matter how big or small
the trivial and the considerable
let Jesus have them all.

Take time to talk with Him,
not just in your prayers
share no matter the time of day
your worries and your cares.

Then quickly give them to Him,
and wait for Him to answer
with praise and thanksgiving
watch as your burdens transfer.

For Jesus will take them all,
His peace will come your way
if in everything, you don't forget
to talk to Him and pray!

Philippians 4:6-7
King James Version

"Be careful for nothing; but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made
known unto God. And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding, shall
keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus."

Stressless

With God by my side and in my mind, the world's problems are smaller,
Causing my thoughts to be somewhat purer, for pure is their Installer.
God can surely change the world, beginning in the heart and in the mind,
Whenever a person gives their life to him and leaves the old one behind.

The world's stress is powerful and deadly without the right helping hand,
Many have tried it in the past and have found themselves on sinking sand.
Some who were considered to be brilliant in the eyes of their fellow man,
Yet they too succumbed as the pressure was greater than they could stand.

I'm certain that God has never left me and am satisfied that He never will,
Although there are times I stumble and fail, I know that He loves me still.
He knows that for as long as I'm in the flesh, there are mistakes I'll make,
Then Jesus tells Him that this is one that on the cross, his place I did take.

This world's problems will continue to grow and cause stress, if you allow,
The only way to prevent this is by going to God and let Him show you how.
With your thoughts centered around Him, that stress load becomes lighter,
When He is walking by your side, the journey through life will be brighter.

Light of God

The stars are shining in heaven tonight
follow their path to God's glorious light
we will shine in the glory of the divine
seeking His righteousness through time

The eyes of God are always upon me
the stars shining, dwelling in eternal glory
The peace of God transcending on this heart
My God's light prevailing among the dark

It's Your light, your stars in the sky
that twinkle that stirs in my waking eye
the beauty that I long to embrace
the glory of God that I always chase

Your light is endless, no boundaries it holds
Your light leads to glory, to a path paved in gold
Your light shines so marvelous for every eye to see
You are the light, my life, you live within me
