You Can Win!

So many times we are wearied and faint in our mind, Hindrances within, hindrances without, all about; Obstacles in our way, Sometimes can’t see the light of day. Persecutions sure do come our way, Troubles on every hand; With faintness of mind we sure do go astray. The Bible says, “laying aside every weight,” But that’s hard to do. We seem to be lazy, just sort of gain weight. Hounded by others to do wrong, we give in....

My Fragile Shell

This fragile shell is where I live. I built it myself. It wasn’t easy. First the hurt, Then the pain, Then failure in turn, then darkness. All done in by neglect. And so I built it all by myself. Now this fragile shell is closing in. All of the hurts and pains. The darkness. The failures – are in here with me. And the neglect. Oh, the neglect. I have neglected to see that There is so much more Outside my fragile small...

Lifted

Before there was light you moved in the dark From nothing you created the spark Before I could see, you shined your light Before I could love, you held me tight You let your love shine before I knew you And now all my love is through you I was born in sin and part of the fall But you came to me and pardoned it all Now a heart, lifted and full Use me oh God, as one of your tools Let that light spoken in my heart Be the light to shine...

What if?

What if?

What if we could not come to church? What if we could not praise the Lord? What if we could not talk to God and He turned His back on us? What if He wouldn’t help us? What if God had never died for us? What if there was no hope and no place for us to go but Hell? What if evil won all the time? Aren’t you happy that all these “what if’s” aren’t true? You can praise the Lord! Are you glad that Jesus loves you and He provided...
