Icy stares.
Piercing, judging, condemning.
Showing no mercy.
Loving eyes.
Considerate, compassionate, affectionate.
Seeing the need.
Hostile thoughts.
Unpleasant, unkind, ungracious.
Refusing to see.
Crying eyes.
Sin, shame, guilt.
Looking for hope.
Tender words.
Repentance, acceptance, deliverance.
Healing the soul.
Overflowing joy.
Master, Savior, Friend.
Abundant life found.
Mark Tinjum – 2008
Black and Blue
Piercing nails and crown of thorns,
The flesh torn from His back,
The Father could endure no more,
And turned the blue sky black.
Walk
Christ delivered us out of darkness,
Into His marvelous light,
And what He asks us in return,
Is walk by faith and not sight.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
What did I do to deserve a God,
As patient and loving as You?
Nothing is the word that comes to mind,
It’s because You are faithful and true.
What did You ever see in my life,
Except for the wreckage and mess?
Lord I’m so glad to have a God like You,
Who is moved by my pain and distress.
What did I ever do dear Lord,
To deserve such wondrous grace?
Such lavish love and mercy,
That You willingly died in my place?
Why did You grant such great favor,
To one so unworthy as I?
Praise, glory and honor to Jesus,
Is my joyful and humble reply.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
In this beautiful, broken, sin-stained world
Good and evil both exist
And moment by moment we must all choose
Which we’ll follow and which we’ll resist
For we all have freedom God bestowed it on us
With our choices we all cast our lot
In the end Christ will say to us one of two things
Enter in…or I knew you not.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
God’s peace can conquer
The storms within,
His love can bridge
The gulf of sin,
His joy can lighten
The heaviest heart,
His grace can give us
A brand new start.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
Oh the thought that the Holy One dwells in me
Is a blessing beyond all compare,
It makes the work light that He calls me to do
And the cross that He calls me to bear.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
If you ever think
You have reached the end,
No one standing by you
To aid or defend,
When all forsake you
No comfort they send,
There is One who stands closer
Than a brother or friend.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
