God is real,
God is near,
He hears your cry,
He sees each tear.
God knows,
God understands,
He holds your life,
Safely in His hands.
God came,
God saves,
He calms the storms,
He stills the waves.
God entered in,
God felt pain,
His precious blood,
Removes our stain.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
Given, Not Taken
Our peace cannot be taken from us,
It can only be given away,
For our peace is a person,
The Lord Jesus Christ,
Who now lives in these vessels of clay.
Ephesians 2:14, 2 Corinthians 4:7
The Uttermost
We are saved by grace
Through faith in Christ
We have nothing in which to boast,
Except in the blood
Of the spotless Lamb
Who saves sinners to the uttermost.
Ephesians 2:8 & 9, Galatians 6:14, Hebrews 7:25
Mark Tinjum – 2015
I am no better than anyone else
My only boast is God’s grace,
That reached into the deep pit I had dug
And raised me to a higher place.
Mark Tinjum – 2016
One day wicked kings
Will no longer reign,
And terrorists no longer
Will inflict death and pain,
When the King of kings
Takes His earthly throne,
Every knee will bow
To Jesus Christ alone.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
Is your soul now being sifted,
By various troubles and trials?
Even Peter succumbed to temptation,
He forcefully made three denials.
Is the enemy shouting lies in your ear?
Christ’s word will silence his wiles!
Does the world revile and mistreat you
Though you’ve gone the extra mile?
You’re in very fine company,
John and Paul both faced earthly exile.
So don’t give up- keep up the fight,
While despair may be in style,
You will soon feel the Savior’s loving embrace
Just patiently wait for awhile.
Mark Tinjum – 2015
I spent the first half of my life
Chasing everything but You,
And looking back at my prodigal past
I now see that Your Words are all true,
Time lays waste every kingdom and castle
Not built on, by, and for You,
We can choose which foundation we’ll build on
We can build on the Rock or on sand,
We can heed the Words of a loving God
Or the volumes penned by man’s hand,
For God’s Word endures forever
Every promise, purpose, command,
And when fierce storms of life come beating down
Only lives built on Christ will stand.
Isaiah 40:6-8, 1Peter 1:23-25, Matthew 7:24-27
Mark Tinjum – 2015
