The Missing Key

By

On August 5, 2016

In Questions, Salvation

Why can’t we humans get along
Why do we strive and fight?
Could it be deep down inside
That something is just not right ?
Why do we feel entitled
Like life should treat us fair?
But who determines right and wrong
To what do we compare?
Is there anyone in this broken world
Who holds the missing key?
To release us from our prison cells
Who can stop our enmity?
Yes there is One I know His name
I walk with Him each day,
He takes away fear and anxiety
That the world tries to throw my way,
So if you truly want to know
How life was meant to be,
The answers are found in Jesus Christ
And the Godhead Trinity.

His Heart’s Desire

By

In Salvation, The Cross

The King rode toward Jerusalem,
On the back of a donkey’s foal,
The masses thought He came to rule,
And to give them back control,
But as He reached Jerusalem,
He wept- they did not understand,
His mission was to set captives free,
Not from Rome but from Satan’s cruel hand,
The King could have set up His kingdom on earth,
In an instant- in the blink of an eye,
But He wanted instead to reign in man’s heart,
So alone He walked Calvary to die.

Two Gates

In Righteousness, Salvation

The Good Shepherd lovingly calls us,
Enter the narrow gate,
The broad path leads to destruction,
Turn away- don’t suffer that fate,
My way can often be difficult,
But I lead with a purpose and plan,
I desire to prosper not hurt you,
Just trust Me and reach out your hand,
In My presence there is fullness of joy,
There are pleasures forevermore,
Behold I stand at the gate of your heart,
My child will you open the door?

Triumphant Tragedy

By

In Salvation, Stuff of Life

I’ve bowed down before the gods of this age
More times than I care to admit,
Given in to seductive siren songs
Made my bed in hell’s deepest pit.

I’ve crashed on this world’s treacherous shore
Felt the full weight of darkness and sin,
Then in anguish cried, “Jesus please save me!”
And in mercy The Holy came in.

Now fear and despair are behind me
I’m no longer lonely and lost,
For Jesus is mine and I am His
And His praise I could never exhaust!

Exactly as Planned

In God's Glory, love, Salvation

The wealthiest, wisest Man,
Who ever walked the earth,
Was born in a borrowed stable,
Laid in straw at His royal birth.

But the bright angelic choir,
Knew the wonder of what God had done,
The rescue God planned before time began,
Was set in motion by the birth of His Son.

Charting the Course

By

On June 12, 2016

In God's Glory, Praise and Worship, Salvation

We chart the course of our destiny
By setting our sights above,
Walking with God in humility
And with our fellow man in love,
For our vessels are weak and the storms often fierce
That threaten to shipwreck our soul,
And gale force winds of trouble and pain
Often batter and take their toll,
But keeping our eyes on the Bright Morning Star
The voyage grows clearer each day,
For He guides us to heaven’s beautiful shore
Calming storms that we face on the way,
And when we reach the heavenly port
And Christ calls us, “Beloved, enter in!”
How to thank the Captain of our souls enough,
We won’t even know where to begin!

Friend or foe?

By

On June 10, 2016

In love, Questions, Salvation

The enemy plots to control the minds,
And hearts and souls of men,
To tell them what to say and do,
And why and where and when.

But we all have the will and ability,
To make the one truly great choice,
To follow Jesus as Savior and Lord,
And not heed the enemy’s voice.

For you can choose your allegiance
You can follow the Friend or the foe,
one wants your death and destruction,
One loves you and wants to make whole.
