Interwoven

Prayer is essential to Christians

as the air we breathe.

The Lord has knit us together,

our heartstrings He does weave.

We are one big family

all children of God.

Let us always be in prayer for each other

while on this earth we trod.

There is great power in prayer

shinning brighter than the sun.

But ever greater still

when we pray together as one.

Let us gather together

in fellowship and prayer.

For Jesus has said that where two or more meet in His name,

He will also be there.

Be Still

My child I have invited you 

to come to Me in prayer.

Remember when you do,

I'll always meet you there.

Prayer is not one sided,

I like to talk to you just the same.

So pause for a while 

before you close in My name.

Think of it as a conversation

not just a wish list of concerns.

We both have lots to say

so let us both take turns.

My child I love you dearly

and each day you do My will.

So take some time when you pray each day

to be quiet and just be still.

Quiet Time

Turn down the noises and distractions of your day.

Go into your prayer closet, set your mind upon Him and pray.

Take some special time to speak to the Lord in your quiet space.

These intimate times with God are priceless, 

putting a song in your heart and a smile upon your face.

It's just you and the Lord there together heart to heart.

Close your eyes, clear your mind, quiet your soul before you start.

You're Invited

There is an invitation

that is written on your heart.

God is the author He is waiting to hear from you

now is the time to start.

He is waiting patiently

to hear about your day

Treasuring every word in your heart

before you even say.

So take your time and set your heart

and mind upon Him now.

The Holy Spirit is here to help you

when you're not sure what to say or how.

Preparing for Rain

Our prayers are seeds we plant

in times of happiness and pain.

While waiting for our seeds to grow

we must prepare for rain.

The anticipation while we wait upon the Lord

is at times hard to bear.

But when the time is right

His plans for us He will share.

Though we would all like a quick answer to our requests

the timing is not up to us.

We must remain faithful in our prayers

in Christ alone put our hope and trust.

And when the time is just right

His answer will come in bloom

.For His timing is always perfect

never too late, and never too soon.

Christ Alone

A debt paid in full, one I could not satisfy.

This the very reason my Savior had to die.

Upon His head a crown of thorns

carried His cross through a crowd that scorns.

Without hesitation He gave His life for me.

Without a second thought His sacrifice had set me free.

A debt I could not pay, a sin I could not erase.

Only Christ alone could save the human race.

To reconcile us with The Father

His only Son was crucified.

He became our sin 

and with Him our sin that day had died.

Just Me and My Jesus

Well Lord it's just You and me

here in this peaceful place.

I hear Your voice, I feel Your touch

and soon shall I see Your face.

I have set aside all my worries and fears

my faith no longer sways.

I've put all my trust, my hope, my life in Your hands

now and for the rest of my days.

Revive me with Your Spirit 

within my heart ignite Your fire.

May I always walk in Your way, Your light,

Your truth and not grow weary or tire.

Rid Me of Myself

Lord fill my heart with Your love

and rid me of myself

Don't let me forget that I am Yours

help me not to put Your love and grace on a shelf.

Jesus guide me and show me how

to give with a gracious heart.

Use me and  my life to do Your work

Lord help me to do my part.

Lord I surrender all of me 

and all I have to You right now.

My life is not my own, nor anything I have on earth

help me to give it all to You somehow.

Help me to empty my heart

so that You may dwell within.

With You on my side, taking care of me

Lord there is no battle I won't win.

Tests of Faith

Though the trials may be many

and some days may seem so long.

We shall not grow weary

for in the Lord we grow strong.

Through tribulations and temptations

oh I'm sure there will be some.

With Jesus on our side,

Praise Him! We shall overcome!

We never walk alone,

with Jesus always by our side.

Our Lord, our Savior, our Comforter

may He always be our guide.

So when those seas grow stormy

may He overflow your cup.

Just remember when you're feeling down

the only way to look is up.

The Battle Within

Lord give me the strength

to fight through these stormy seas

Lord only You can heal my sickness,

cure me from this disease.

These things I don't want to do,

I seem to do anyway

Take control of my life, my actions, my heart,

so that I may live with You someday.

Lord all I want to do

is to please You and show others Your love.

Lord You reign on high

over all here on earth and above.

Lord help me stay true

to obey Your every command.

Help me to remember You are my steady rock

all others are sinking sand.

Give me strength and courage

and just the right words to say.

Lord help me reach out

to another lost soul today.

Fill me with Your Holy Spirit

to guide me through my time here on earth.

My comforter, my teacher, my intercessor,

of unfathomable worth.

Apart from You I am nothing

I need Your help everyday.

Without You I would be lost 

Praise be to God, for showing me the way.

A Plea

My friend the end is near

so it's time for you to decide.

I pray you'll make the right choice

and join me on the other side.

Will you take Him as your Lord and Savior?

I pray that you will say yes.

It's all or nothing, no in-between

no maybe or I guess.

I love you and I pray for you,

that He will touch your heart somehow.

Things could be so much easier for you with Christ in your life

the time to be saved is now.

His love for you is so complete, 

genuine and true,

Won't you accept His mercy and grace

believe He died for you.

Don't be fooled by all the lies

that come straight out of hell

Instead read about the truth, the life and the way

to free you from sin's cell.

I cannot make you choose Him,

but you don't have to do it alone.

Just open up your heart to Him

He will save you, and make you His own.

My dear I have been burdened

by this love I have for you.

God has put in on my heart 

to hold your hand and see you through.

In Good Hands

Please try not to worry

you're in good hands tonight.

You may feel as though you walk this journey alone

but my dear He holds you tight.

Just look to Him for He's always there

no matter how far away He feels.

Your love, your trust, your faith in Him

His work in your life reveals.

Please know that we're praying for you

we care for you so much.

I pray for Him to comfort you

I pray you feel his touch.

I know that you have faith in Him

and love for Him so true.

Just let Him take control

He will take care of you.

Behold this Little One ( A Christmas poem)

Behold this Little One

so fragile and small

One day He shall be the only Son

that can save us all.

Behold this Little One

who was foretold of before His birth

Behold this Little One

who is God in the flesh on earth.

Behold this Little One

who brings joy to all who believe

Behold this Little One

and the great things He will achieve.

Forever Love

Others may try to break me

Turn their backs and put me down.

But no matter what happens I know You're by my side

The only true King worthy of many crowns.

Because I know Your love for me

Will always remain true.

I found forever love

And I found that love in You.

Even though I'm far from perfect

You don't expect me to be.

This is who I am, please take and mold me

Into who you want me to be.

From this moment forward I'm all Yours

My life, my heart, my soul.

You gave Your life to cleanse me of all my wrong

Redeem me and make me whole.

My eyes, my heart, all of me

Is fixed on You now.

Don't know why it's taken me this long

I knew I'd get here somehow.

You pulled me through the darkness

When I was lost You showed me the way.

And for all You've done I'm grateful

More than words can ever say.

Rebirth in Him

I have a story to tell you

And I know it very well

What I'm about to tell you

Is not fiction or fairytale.

I always believed in God

And that Jesus died to save us from sin.

But there was still something I was looking for

Until I breathed Him in.

Now I truly feel the peace

That He has given me.

He lives inside my heart

And that's where He will always be.

So many things have changed in my life

In such a short time.

What a whirlwind discovery

When I felt for the first time

That Salvation is mine!

I was filled with an energy

Only He could provide.

He filled my heart with gladness

And I felt Him by my side.

I will never forget that day it happened

I was reborn in this Savior of mine.

It's as if I was dead before

And Now I am living for the first time.

He placed a smile upon my face

That I have never felt before.

And when I awoke the next morning

It was still there, not knowing what the day had instore

Now when He talks I listen

And I see much clearer now.

Everything around me all He has done in my life

Now I know how.

I am filled with hunger

To draw closer to Him each day.

And to study God's word

And praise Him in every way.

Everybody needs Christ

Just when you think it's over,

You're at the end of your rope.

Look only to Jesus Christ our Savior

In Him there is forever hope.

He is always there

And has given us eternal life.

He loves you and me

Through happiness and strife.

The only way to happiness

Is through Him

So let your light shine for Jesus

May it never grow dim

No matter what you have 

here on this earth.

It is only Him that matters

All other things have no worth.

Everyone needs Christ

As the flowers need water and the sun.

We all need Jesus Christ in our life.

 You must know He is the only one.

I believe in Miracles

The miracle of life

The mystery of death.

The miracle of how

We take each and every breath.

Do you believe in miracles?

I surely do.

God sent His only Son to be born of a virgin

This I know is true.

Some may say they can't believe

What science cannot explain
.

But I don't need a scientist to prove

Any miracle that has taken away my pain.

Child Like Faith

                        Child like faith, what does it mean?
                         It means to believe sight unseen.

                         Have you ever seen Jesus, in person face to face?
                         To do that, you would have to be in another place.

                          We believe in Him, though His face we've never seen.
                           But that day is coming soon, make sure your slate is clean.

                           All the proof I need, is right there in the Book.
                           The only one we need to read, The Bible, take a look.

                            A Man so full of love, He gave His very life,
                            To cleanse us all from sin, and give us eternal life.

                            How unbelievable it sounds, that such a Man could exist.
                            But my friend it's all true, when He comes back to save His people
                            will you be on His list?

                            He is the only way to Heaven, there is no other way.
                            Some may tell you differently, don't believe a word they say.

                            Only those who truly believe and accept Him with a pure heart
                             Will be going to live in heaven with Him, when from this world, they depart.

                             No matter how many good deeds you've done or how many people you touch
                             Without Jesus Christ as your Savior it won't add up to much.

                              So find your child like faith and believe that it is true.
                              Jesus is our Lord and Savior on that cross He died for me and you.
