She wasn’t concerned with the gossip,
That the women might spread and tell,
She wasn’t afraid of the scandal,
For her heart and her soul were both well,
For she trusted God as her Father,
That His Word would prove faithful and true,
That this baby Boy that she would bear,
Would be Savior of me and you.
Luk 1:38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
Many might think me less a man,
For the myriad tears I have shed,
But I remember my Savior-King,
Who wept at the tomb of the dead.
The world might think it weakness,
To cry out from the depths of the soul,
But I will continue to pour out my heart,
To the God who can cleanse and make whole.
MT 2019
NKJV Psa 126:5 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
My soul is wonderfully, beautifully blessed,
For Jesus the Lord is my hearts honored guest,
And I am invited at the King’s kind request,
To enter His presence and find peace and rest.
MT 2018
At times life can seem like a tragedy,
Interspersed by moments of comedy,
Life has fleeting moments of rhapsody,
Other times it seems lacking in melody.
But life can be a grand symphony,
Filled with joy and a richness of harmony,
If we listen to God who sings beautifully,
Jesus Christ who invites us, “Come follow Me.
MT 2018
NKJV Zep 3:17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”
Time may heal
But the scars remain
And the Master Artist
Mixes joy and pain
Into life’s rich tapestry
And while I can’t explain
He makes both work for good
And our eternal gain.
MT 2018
NKJV Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
I serve the One so powerful,
He spoke everything into existence,
And changed my sinful stubborn heart,
With His gentle loving persistence.
Mark Tinjum 2015
Ezekiel 11:19 NKJV
[19] Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh,
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;
