Forgetting What Lies Behind, a Poem

Sometimes I think of years gone by, forgetting your word oh God, to let them lie.

The Lord knows our minds can be weak; thinking of good times is what we should seek.

Anything uplifting and true, this is His will for you.

Above in the blue sky, the stately Eagles do fly, without effort they do soar.

For you believer, God has much more.

Don’t fret over the bad things that had come your way, they are now behind.

He has forgotten them, they never enter His mind!

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

God Is Good, a Poem

God is good, a poem. Jesus, the reason for the season.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace (Is. 9:6 NASB).

God is good, God is fine.

One day with Him, we will drink the new wine.

Sorrows came our way, some bitterness did grow, but greater Grace was there, I now know.

Jesus the Captain of my Soul, His love and care for me, I did behold.

In our Marriage the winds did blow, the troubles did not hide, the Rock of Ages, in His hands we did abide.

When leaning on Him, our strong arm, anxiety is gone, no cause for alarm.

To this gentile couple did the Jewish Messiah come, through His Mercy and Grace, our hearts He won!

Isaiah said: “A light to the Gentiles” He would be, at Christmas time, this is what we see.

Silent night, behold the light, Word of the Father born tonight.

Born to Israel as the Prophets foretold, the King of Kings, Jesus whose days were from old.

He is the reason for the season and presents are given, only through Him, sins are forgiven.

Girl of Our Dreams We Love You So, a Poem

Girl of our dreams we love you so!

It was an exciting day little girl, you were on the way.

We had been deeply wounded a month before, our pain words could not say.

I was there, with your Mom at the place of your Birth.

You were our joy, the gift the Lord sent to earth.

That day, “you have a baby girl” the Nurse did say. Your eyes were open wide, we knew for sure, God,with you did abide.

How fair she is, on her Mother’s arm she did lean, eyes so bright and so green.

At four, she was the girl we did adore.

On a stage, in a play, no fright ever came her way.

To a beautiful woman she did grow. The Lord gave her a wonderful husband, this she did know.

From your word she did not depart, she kept it hidden in her heart.

One day while running a race, trouble she did face, weak and almost faint.

You sent to her a woman, a true Saint. The words of God rang true, in Him, all things I can do.

The Lord put His song in your heart, you know He is with you forever and will not depart.

You and your Brother are united in love, this too from God above.

To you our children He does say: ” I Am your God, I will teach you my way”. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children(Isaiah 54:13).

The Body of Christ, The Church — Poem

The Body Of Christ, the Church, a poem.

How I love your word, from the first time I had heard.

We see as in a glass dim, in my brothers and sisters, I see Him.

Through our good works you do shine, the salt of the earth, you do refine.

We are your Bride, the Holy Spirit in us, you did hide.

Some are drawn to us as a moth to a flame, in those you love, there is no blame.

Father, who are we that you love us so? Down to earth did your Holy Son go.

For us He gave all, to redeem us from the Fall.

Beloved, upon my word I have placed my seal, in My coming Glory, my Sons I will reveal.

Jesus with My Sons I will bring, My great Joy over them will cause Me to sing! *

*Zephaniah 3: 17 For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight
in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs” (NLT).

The Hebrew word for “singing” actually means “a ringing cry” with a sense of joy. What a great verse! God sings. Since He is perfect in every way, I will look forward to hearing the beauty of His voice. The Bible tells us that He gave all of His creatures the ability to sing. Job says the angels, who are also called “stars” in Job, can sing (By permission).

My Christmas Gift to God.

Our gift from God, a Poem

Our Gift From God, a Poem

This Poem is dedicated to our Son. When it seemed impossible for us to have our first child, my Wife
wept. Then we prayed to the Lord for help. The Lord heard and the next month our boy was on the way. We dedicated him to Jesus. This poem is what we saw the Lord do for our first Son. ( 1 Samuel 1: 27 ) I asked the Lord to give me this boy and he has granted my request. This was our special scripture for his dedication at the Church.

Your words as a boy surprised us so, the Lord was with you, this we did know.

Your faith was a light, not by power or might.

At eight years old, you were very bold, what amazed us was the things you told.

The things of God’s Spirit you did know and in His grace you did grow.

The Lord blessed you with the love of your life, He gave to you, your Wife.

She is quiet and meek, not too shy, still waters run deep.

They think as one, loving you Father for sending your Son.

Deep trials they do bare, the pain, they do share, knowing they are in your care.

Jesus the Man of Sorrows – Poem

Dec 102011

Jesus The Man of Sorrows

A man of sorrows was he, much grief he bore, we all can see.

How was I to know? His destiny was to hang naked on the tree.

It was through his word that I did see, he gave all he had for me.

The shame he did despise. The wicked did not put him there, with their lies.

The Father’s will he did do. His enemies he died for, me and you.

His groans and sighs were heard, from the God man, the living word.

Darkness covered the earth that day. The King of Glory had gone away.

For the joy set before him, the salvation of the lost, he set his face as flint, not caring of the cost.

He told those he loved, back to the Father he would go, in Heaven above.

With the morning sky, the empty tomb, there the grave clothes lie.

In Eve did the deception of Satan first grow, how wonderful it was, to a woman the risen Lord did show.

What a wonderful God we serve, he reveals himself through his word.

He will come again as the Lion of Judah, to Israel from where he did depart.

The Faithful and Amen, back to his chosen people, who broke his heart.

Jesus, Word of the Father, salvation to impart.

Casting all Your Care Upon Him, For He Cares For You!

Another prayer I spoke to Him today, I was heavily burdened, with so much to say.

Lord, you promised to help me when I’m weak and it is you I do seek.

The wind is blowing softly and I am still, listening for your voice that will show me your Will.

Blue skies are shinning above, your Spirit overwhelms with your love.

The cares of this world do abound, it is through your Word that I am sound.

Are you worried today, do you despair? Take heart my friend, put yourself in His care.

Your sins He will wash away, this will be your new day!

Jesus will cause you to break out in song, you will sing I’m saved, all day long.

Eyes to see, the healing of a blind man at bethsaida

EYES TO SEE

The Healing of a Blind Man at Bethsaida

Mark 8: 22-26 (NIV)

What do you see when you read these verses about Jesus giving this blind man his sight? Why would the
Lord have to pray twice for this man? You must be seeking the deeper things of God through the Holy Spirit, our true teacher, to understand. After Jesus prayed the first time and asked the man, “Do you see anything?” The man said he saw men, like trees, walking about. Jesus prayed the second time and the man saw clearly. This is the only case in the word where Jesus prayed twice for a person — this is truly a teachable moment!

When the Lord saves us we receive our sight (spiritual). The Word says, “unless one is born again, he
cannot see the Kingdom of God” (John 3: 3 – NAS). As baby believers we must grow with the “Milk” of the Word in order to become mature Christians led by the Holy Spirit. In our walk with the Lord there may be times when He has to clear our Spiritual vision in regards to His will as He did with the second prayer for the blind man. I believe after the Lord’s first prayer and the man’s response of seeing men walking as trees. He only saw them as objects, not as living people who need God and help. The second prayer opened his eyes to see God’s Will, to be your Brother’s Keeper through Christ, leading them to the Light.

I would like you to consider, that Jesus used “Spittle” which is a form of water in giving sight to a blind man. In John 9:5-7 He spat on the ground; made clay of the spittle and applied the clay to the man’s eyes. Jesus the Word Of God, the Creator of everything created new eyes using water and the “Dust” that we and all living things, were created from.

I have a personal testimony in regards to eyes and seeing clearly. I had worn eye glasses since I was 12 years old. About five years ago I had surgery for cataracts in both eyes and special lenses were inserted into my eyes giving me 20/20 vision. As a born again Christian I experienced growth through many trials by which I became the obedient, spiritual man in my old age. One day while in prayer and meditating on the Lord, he revealed how He gave back my physical vision I had lost and now has also given me Spiritual vision. This prompted me to write about Jesus praying twice for the blind man. The surgery for my eyes and the clear vision I received was a picture/type of the Lord’s first and second prayers for the blind man. “His eye is on the Sparrow” (Matthew 10:29) and I know He watches me.

I AM the Light of the World

Didn’t Jesus shine, that bright beautiful day when I knew He was mine.

That new day the eagles did soar, but my heart was there before.

The Angles did sing when my tears and repentance I did bring.

My sins were washed away on that wonderful awakening day.

My sins now white as snow. I am his forever, this I know.

He knew me when He hung on the tree, now my heart sings, nearer my God to thee.

The Living Word my friend. He will never leave me, even to the end.

The Wonder of God – a Poem for God

Poems No Responses »

Nov 292011

As I gaze at your Creation near and far.

The beauty of a Rose and the twinkling of a Star.

How big is God? Where can He be?

He is not very far, He lives in me.

Your image and likeness you did impart,

but sin did come my way from my birth it did start.

Through your mercy and grace I received a new heart.

The vast universe the end of no one can see.

You made everything — your crowning creation was me.

The King of Glory down from Heaven He came.

He became poor for me. Praise His Name!

Who is this King of Glory you will say?

He is Jesus who says, come to Me. I AM the way.

A Pearl of great price was I.

For my purchase He would have to die.

I have been saved with a new life to live.

I owe Him everything, my life to Him I give.
