So often I seek my own will and way,
Instead of God’s honor and glory,
Yet the Holy One uses even messed up me,
To play a part in His redemption love story.
Mark Tinjum – 2017
1 Corinthians 3:9 NKJV
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s building.
I asked the Lord for an answer,
He replied, “The time is not now.”
I wanted to state and debate my case,
But instead chose to worship and bow.
I asked Him for signs and wonders,
To show His love for me,
Then broke down and wept bitterly,
When I remembered cruel Mt. Calvary.
I asked Him to change my heart and mind,
He smiled and whispered, “It’s done,”
“And I’ll do it each day for the rest of your life,”
“I am faithful to complete what’s begun.”
Mark Tinjum 2017
Philippians 1:6 NKJV
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
Whether lamenting in the grip of sorrow or sadness,
Or praising the Lord and rejoicing with gladness,
Like the psalms of David both now have their place,
And God can use both to show mercy and grace.
But a new day will dawn and is coming soon,
When all sadness and sorrow will cease,
And the meek shall inherit a kingdom on earth,
And delight in abundance of peace.
Mark Tinjum – 2017
Psalm 37:11 NKJV
But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
When once heart and soul were eclipsed by sin,
In Christ the dark night is gone,
As evening gives way to morning,
As darkness succumbs to the dawn,
From the softest glow of twilight,
To the fullness of noonday sun,
The light of the world now shines through us,
And a bright new day has begun!
Mark Tinjum. 2015
John 8:12 NKJV
[12] Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.
Christ seeks out with zeal and passion,
God’s lost and straggling sheep,
He never grows faint or weary,
Never pauses to rest or sleep,
He never says it is too difficult,
Not even the most hopeless cases,
And all who repent and ask Him in,
Jesus loves and accepts and embraces.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
My mind is sometimes filled with doubt,
My heart sometimes filled with fears,
My soul is sometimes tempest tossed,
And my eyes sometimes well up with tears.
But my mind is always at peace and rest,
And my heart always courage filled,
When the Savior sows His seeds of truth,
In the soil the Spirit has tilled.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
To Express
To tell of all that my God has done,
The glory of His dearly beloved Son,
No human words can fully express,
Christ’s gift of love and righteousness.
Mark Tinjum – 2017
No Stains- No Chains
Only the blood
Of Jesus Christ
Can cleanse our deep
Crimson stains,
And only His rising
From the grave
Can free us from
Shackles and chains.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
