Christmas is Coming

 memories come about,
dawning this time of year,
relatives, friends gain clout,
full of holiday cheer

all the streets quiet down,
there's a chill in the air,
though 'tis simple to frown,
the Christ child shall come fair

Your Simile

dear Lord,

You are free

create in me

and let me be

one that lives

spiritually

one that loves

unconditionally

o, let me be

Your simile

Peace at Last!

peace at last!

our sun is a-rising,

our clouds are a-parting,

and our mountains are stretching to God!

peace at last!

our rabbits are hopping,

our hornets are humming,

and our fish are a-swimming to God!

Charity

their needs are great,
says the Lord...

lest heed too late,
says the Word...

Washed by the Blood of Jesus

We are washed by the blood of Jesus!
Cleansed by His precious love

He is flowing like a river new,
Love of our Savior true

All the soul that he could give,
Lasting stream that we may live

We love you, God, for what You do,
Our souls are won by You!

Life

Jesus! Christ.

Blessing.

Salvation from sin.

Resurrection win.

Everlasting.

Amen! Amen.

The Fire Within!

My heart's on fire!
Praises to you, O Lord!
My mind's on fire!
I am armed with your Word!

I reap your Word!
Praises to you, Spirit!
The kingdom's Lord's!
The Bible we visit!

The fire within!
Praise to you, higher!
Let the love begin!
My soul's on fire!

Great is the Trinity

Great is the power of God
Great is His strength!
Great are His gifts for us
Giving to the greatest of lengths!

Great is the life of Jesus
Great is His story!
Great was His resurrection for us
Rising to the throne for eternity!

Great is the Word of the Spirit
Great is His thought!
Great are His messages for us
Speaking what the Bible has taught!

If We Believe

If we believe...

God created the universe.
God created Adam and Eve.
God saved us from the flood,
God gave us commandments
and we neglected Him and worse...

His Son was born from a virgin.
His Son fed the poor.
His Son healed the sick,
His Son taught us faith
and we heard and denied Him...

His Son suffered for us.
His Son bled for us.
His Son cried for us,
His Son died for us
and we remembered and cried for Him...

His Son rose from the dead.
His Son moved the boulder.
His Son met us his disciples,
His Son shared with us his wounds
and we are reconciled with Him...

If we believe in Him.

Love

The light of compassion...
It reaches out
It considers others
It engages "passion"...

The renewal of life...
It touches the heart
It opens the mind
It provokes "belief"...

The promoter of peace...
It strengthens ties
It diverts anger
It argues "cease"...

The mover of things...
It delivers justice
It dances for joy
It gloriously "sings"...

I Have Jesus

All through the night,
I have Jesus, the light...

When I'm in despair,
I have Jesus, right there.

When I'm in doubt,
I have Jesus, my clout.

When I'm in fright,
I have Jesus, my fight.

All through the night,
I have Jesus, in sight...

Happy Easter

In Christ,

All things are possible--
Christ died for our sins
He saved us from iniquity!

Over death He rose again!
Over sin we live eternally
We are capable of all things--

In Christ

In God We Trust

In Him
we give thanks!

In Him
we sing praises!

In Him
we close ranks!

In Him
our joy rises!

In Him
we give all!

In Him
we share gifts!

In Him
we stand tall!

In Him
our prayers lift!

Goodness

faith is always sown,

hope is never 'lone,

love is to atone.

Sing To the Lord!

Sing to the Lord!
Great is His name
Glory and honor
Bestowed all the same

Sing to the Lord!
Beautiful Creator
Father and nature
We see and refer

Sing to the Lord!
Our Souls' Redeemer

Son and salvation
Our sins are paid for

Sing to the Lord!
Wonderful Councelor

Spirit and wisdom
We hear and adore

Peace

Peace, from God
Who makes today,
Peace, to those
Who take his sway

Peace, from Jesus
Who makes the way,
Peace, to those
Who take it and pray

Peace, from the Spirit
Who makes a say,
Peace, to those
Who take at bay
