Not all of us can celebrateThe fathers that we had on earth,For some of us had fathers grim,From the first day our moms gave birth. Our lives with “Dad,” oh, they were sad,We feared him much when he got mad.We never knew when he’d lash out,So we were scared, without a doubt. But then we … Continue reading My Father’s Day Poem

An Overwhelming Sadness
Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness?All around you seems then to be so much pain.Sin has run amok within the walls of churches.For the gospel truth, there is so much disdain. Men in pulpits hiding sins behind the curtain,Making jokes about the sacred things of God.For a laugh, they will compromise the scriptures toKeep … Continue reading An Overwhelming Sadness
Seek My Face
June 10, 2011 I was thinking of the importance of our relationship with Jesus Christ, and how our desire should be for him daily - 24/7. The Lord then gave me this song. There is nothing in this world so wonderful as sitting at Jesus’ feet each day and hearing him speak his words to … Continue reading Seek My Face
Search Me, O God
The Lord knows us because he made us. He knit us together in the wombs of our mothers (see Psalms 139:1-24). That means we were born into the families into which we were born, not by mistake, and not by coincidence, nor by an act of nature, but by divine appointment and according to the … Continue reading Search Me, O God
I Am Yours
When I think of You, Lord,In the watches of the night,I am filled with wonderAt the power of Your might. All that lies before me,All that You have planned for me,Fills my life with purpose,So my heart now sings with glee. Each day in Your presence,As my heart draws close to You,I want to adore … Continue reading I Am Yours
Return to Me
Even though we, as believers in Jesus Christ, are underneath the New Covenant relationship between God and his people – his church – it is still possible for us to sin, and for us to wander away from our pure devotion to Jesus Christ as our only Lord and Savior, and for us to have … Continue reading Return to Me
Rest For the Weary
This song is about our eternal rest, i.e. this is about our salvation, and how it brings us into God’s eternal kingdom where we find our hope for eternal life with God. And yet, it also speaks to our need for physical, mental and emotional rest. Jesus gives us rest when we need it. He … Continue reading Rest For the Weary
Rejoice in the Lord Always
Fear, anxiety, and worry must be universally troublesome to most people because God/Jesus Christ warned his people, and/or he encouraged his people all throughout Scripture (and history) to not fear, to not be afraid, to not fret, and to not be anxious, but “in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,” (to) “present your requests … Continue reading Rejoice in the Lord Always
Realizing
I believe that there are many times we are guilty of taking God/Jesus Christ for granted. As well, I believe today’s church is often at fault in how they present God/Jesus when they paint God as a big doting grandfather in the sky, and/or when they paint Jesus as a weak and powerless person who … Continue reading Realizing
Pray, Pray, Pray
September 6, 2012 Prior to the Lord giving me this song on prayer, he gave me three songs in a row on the subject of love, mainly on loving other people. Whenever I study the Scriptures on the subject of loving others, I am reminded of how much I still need to learn and to … Continue reading Pray, Pray, Pray
