THERE ARE PEOPLE

There are people on this earth

Who’s love of God comes shining through

Just knowing them is quite enough

To get enthusiastic too

What is the secret they contain

What makes them go beyond the line

To me the answers very plain

A love for Jesus, oh so fine.

So when you feel you’re not enough

There is so much more to do

Accept that what you’re doing now

Is helping many people to

Acquire a sense of what it is

That rules the fibres of your soul

Perhaps they’ll want the love you have

To fill their empty, God shaped hole.

ONCE UPON A GODLESS TIME

Once upon a Godless time

I used to feel so thick

Looking on at normal kids

I wished that I could flick

A switch to change my outward cool

My worthiness to match

The ones who were so popular

Someone who was a catch.

Nothing changed until the day

That Jesus came to call

He told me I was precious

And I should be walking tall

Now I am a child of God

My self worth riding high

Praise The Lord for all He’s done

As in His arms I lie.

JER 2 v 13

My people are a funny lot
Their preferences are weird
They like the comfort of this world
To which they are endeared
Through this they have forsaken Me
By digging stagnant wells
Devoid of living water
All because their soul rebels.

Perhaps they think that what they have
Is better than My all
How many warnings must I give
Before they finally fall
Be sure that through their measly lives
I cannot do My will
So I will search for those of you
Who through Me get their thrill.

LEAP OF FAITH

It sometimes takes a leap of faith

To give your life away

To someone that you cannot see

To whom you blindly pray

Faith is built on things unseen

The knowledge that He’s there

To guide you through this potholed life

Away from satan’s lair.

Knowing what He’s done before

Should fill you full of hope

No matter what the world may bring

Together you will cope

So carry on that journey dim

He’s with you all the way

To where your destination lies

To where your future lay.

MOUNTAIN

The shadow of your mountain

Is causing torment deep

It looms large in the background

It makes you want to weep

Always there to taunt you

To God you are a crumb

the devil’s got you where he wants

Alone, afraid and numb.

Didn’t God create you ?

His pure and precious child

Through Jesus you are beautiful

Not someone who’s defiled

He’s waiting there to cuddle you

His arms are open wide

He can move your mountain

If in Him you can confide.

WITHOUT YOU

Without You I am nothing
Without You I get scared
You took this life, so empty
And showed me that You cared
For many years we’ve travelled
As one, through thick and thin
The world was such an empty place
But now You’ve filled it in.

As long as we walk hand in hand
No harm can come to me
It’s when I wander off the track
That things are hard to see
So thank You for the many times
That You have waited for
My aimless journeys to conclude
I must be quite a chore.

Loving Father, I am Yours
I know You are the one
My life is nothing without You
And when all’s said and done
My future is secure in You
At peace with all I’ve got
So carry on refining me
You’re welcome to the lot.

THUNDERBOLT

Struck by a thunderbolt
Something’s hit me hard
I’ve reached the edges of my walk
Now I am on my guard
A buried relic from my past
Has been exhumed by You
Will I allow You to extract
The pain that sticks like glue.

I know that You are delicate
Your surgery is kind
But I am stuck in no man’s land
The battle’s in my mind
The devil wants control of me
But I only want You
The lies that surface put me down
Which one of you is true.

I’m sure that You will win this war
But it is up to me
To choose the avenue of fate
Oh which one will it be
Who sways my battered state of mind
And leads me to release
From all the torment washing round
All I crave is peace.

ADAM AND EVE

When Adam and Eve got rumbled
By gorging on that fruit
They realised their nakedness
Was rather absolute
So they hid from prying eyes
By placing on their bits
Lots of covering foliage
The fig leaves seemed to fit.

We’re the same with nakedness
We like to cover up
Afraid of what we think we are
With Father,  we’ll not sup
Drop the shield of stifling masks
He wants us to be real
And form a deep relationship
There’s nothing to conceal.

THEY SAY

They say it’s better out than in
And what they say is true
Cause you don’t know what’s lurking there
Until you look into
The reasons why you are yourself
For better or for worse
You either live a blessed life
Or one beneath a curse.

When you’ve finally had enough
Of living with your lot
Surrender all unto The Lord
Just give Him all you’ve got
Then He can begin the task
Of delving in your mess
Removing things that mar your way
In Jesus name, God Bless.
