Based off Psalm 51 Have mercy on me, O my God.According to Your gracious love.Blot out my sins.Cleanse me within.Bring comfort to me from above. I come before You with my sin.Such evil against You I’ve done.Sinful at birth;Covered with filth.Yet, faithfulness still You did want. Of joy’s gladness, let me now hear.From me, all … Continue reading Confession of Sin

Talk About Jesus
Talk about Jesus when the sun arises.Don’t be a phony, putting on disguises.Talk about Jesus middle of the daytime,Not just at church or in your prayers at mealtime. Talk about Jesus to your friends on Facebook.Don’t be ashamed of him or of the Good Book.Talk about Jesus in your tweets on Twitter.Don’t vacillate in your … Continue reading Talk About Jesus
Are You Wounded?
Are you wounded, tattered and torn?You’re forgotten, grieved and forlorn?Needing answers? Troubles in mind?Hope’s allusions hardly to find? Truth escaping? Liars abound?Men betraying? Honor not found?Hope’s not empty. Honesty here.There’s an answer, which is quite clear. Jesus loves you. This I do know.For the Bible surely tells so.He’s our Savior, life without end,Cleansing us from … Continue reading Are You Wounded?
When We Walk with The Lord
When we walk with the Lord,Walk with Him, one accord,We remember His waysThroughout all of our days. Fellowship now with Him,Fellowship not a whim,True in union with Him,True belief now in Him.

In the Stillness of the Midnight
In the stillness of the midnightWhen all’s quiet and sereneAll the hustle bustle still nowAnd a person rarely seen You can hear a drop of waterHear the tinkle of a bellHear the ticking of an old clockAnd can say that all is well It is peaceful now, so quietAll that chitter chatter goneAll the noises … Continue reading In the Stillness of the Midnight

A Mighty Fortress is Our God
By Martin Luther A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,On earth is not his equal. Did we in our own strength confide, our … Continue reading A Mighty Fortress is Our God
Written in a Song
Who is right and who is wrong?It’ll be written in a song.Who’s pretending he is right?Who from truth has taken flight? Who are actors playing you,Hoping you will think they’re true?Stage productions wearing thinWhile they look at you and grin. Does deception really exist?Do you in your thoughts resist?Do you live in fairy landThinking all … Continue reading Written in a Song
