Christ for the World

In every tongue and nation longs a soul
For that which has the pow’r to make him whole
In darkness shed the light
Turn back the host of night
And lift the banner high, “Christ for the World”

The need is clear to all who want to see
For God has giv’n His truth abundantly
He tells us now to go
For everyone must know
The Lord of whom we speak, “Christ for the World”

There is no minor part in work for God
Each saved one is redeemed by Jesus’ blood
And for the task at hand
He’ll help you understand
The work you do helps show “Christ for the World”

The flesh must have no part in what we do
By faith we trust in God to lead us through
The way that works the best
Is when we simply rest
On God to show through us “Christ for the World”

This Sinner ~

 I haven't seen Jesus,
but, I know Him none the less
by faith, I can see Him clearly
His love for me I profess.

I haven't felt His touch,
His physical hand, I've not held
but His presence in my life
He has not hidden or withheld.

My ears haven't heard His voice,
but, I listen for His inflections
and I can hear Him distinctly
giving me advice and directions.

I know He loves this sinner,
for He has gazed into my heart
though the world may judge me
mercy and forgiveness He imparts.

I have not heard or touched Him,
nor have I've seen Jesus' face
but, one thing I know for sure
I am saved by His grace!

God Bless !

1 Peter 1:8
King James Version

"Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom,
though now ye see him not, yet
believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory:"

Alone With God

The snow is falling on the hill
and this Day will  soon pass.
My house is peaceful, calm and still.
The time went by so fast.

It's time to be alone with God
and reminisce today...
To contemplate amazing Love
that takes my breath away!

The beauty in a baby's smile;
The pain to hear it's cries;
To see a heart break in a child
brings teardrops to my eyes.

God holds my life within His hand
and feels my heartache too.
Although I cannot understand...
He's there to see me through.

He cares enough to set me free
to choose the right from wrong
and waits for me so patiently.
His love is just that strong.

Circle of friends

Oh,joy can be profound
Though foes be around
In the circle of friends
Life beautifully blends

It's so nice to be real
To know one understands how you feel
In the circle of friends
There's no need to pretend

Cheering us in times of tears
Helping us through heart-felt prayers
Through life's curves and bends
Friends help us comprehend

That we are needed and loved
Uniquely by our Father above
Through triumphs,through tears
Friends will always stay near

Oh,what joy,what joy!
Their company we really enjoy
Precious ones so dear
Lending us listening ears

Beaming their seraphic smile
Heaven enfolds us a while
Enjoying their warm embrace
We're wrapped in sweet grace

Their love helps us glow
And forget our sorrows
In the circle of friends
Broken hearts will mend

Oh,lost peace is found
At their lovely sound
Sweet,melodious voices
Encouraging right choices

Angels though in disguise
Giving us timely advice
Oh,the rare treasures God sends
In the circle of friends

To you my Friends , Thank you

Happiness

What does it take to make you happy?
Could it be great fame or wealth,
Or wearing modern styles and fashions,
Or just being in very good health?

Many, unfortunately, try alcohol,
And drugs they seem to treasure.
They're trying to gain joy and peace.
They're seeking happiness and pleasure.

Many are happy for just a season
When they can buy the latest IPOD
Or the latest line of smart phones.
I wonder if they ever talk to God.

Worldly pleasures can bring happiness
For just a short season, I'm sure,
But they fail to bring inner peace.
Through time, this will not endure.

We can find great joy and hapiness
That can satisfy the human soul
By accepting Jesus as our Savior,
And let serving Him be our goal.

We can find the happiness that we seek
As we turn our lives over to God.
We can have great joy and inner peace
As on this road of life we trod.

Spirit Intercessory Prayer

Pray when sore trials come
And you're burdened with care.
Pray having faith, believing.
Our burdens, He will bear.

Pray when your heart grieves,
And you don't know what to say.
Depend on the Holy Spirit.
He will help us when we pray.

Pray even when words fail you,
And all you can do is cry.
The Holy Spirit helps us pray
When all we can do is sigh.

Pray when the circumstances
Seem to be beyond our control.
The Lord will send us answers,
And peace will fill the soul.

The Spirit makes intercession
When we know not what to pray.
He can help us talk to God
When we do not know what to say.

If Today I Met Jesus

If today I were to meet Jesus,
and my life here came to an end
I would be so excited
to finally meet my eternal Friend.

I would run up to Him,
and look into His face
I would be so very thankful
for His endless supply of grace.

I would drop down to my knees,
and worship my everlasting King
I would shout hallelujah
and my praises I would sing.

I would leap and jump with joy,
as soon as my feet hit the floor
I would be forever grateful
He opened to me heaven's door.

If today I were to meet Jesus,
and I were to see my eternal Friend
I know that I would be in paradise
and my bliss would never end.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
