I Will Follow After You

He leads me with nothing left wanting, (Psalm 23:1)
Instead of being a person who sin is haunting. 
His rest is amongst the fields of grass so green, 
And He guides by the still waters so clean. (Psalm 23:2)

He restores the sin-laden soul,
And His leading is righteous control. (Psalm 23:3)
Though the valley be dark and deadly,
He will guide my path with His rod and make me ready. (Psalm 23:4)

My enemies are astounded by the table set before them,
The cup that You have given me is overflowing the brim. (Psalm 23:5)
Thy goodness and mercy have followed me in my daily journey,
And You will lead on till I reach the heavenly shore to see Thee. (Psalm 23:6)

Lead the Way

Lead the way in my life,
Lead me through the constant strife.
Lead me when it is hard to follow,
Lead me into a new tomorrow.

Lead me through the low places,
Lead me with Your amazing graces.
Lead me when I don't know the way,
Lead me as I talk to You as I pray.

Lead me to do Thy will,
Lead me while I am standing still.
Lead me and with faith I will go,
Lead me and Your strength bestow.

Walking in the Footsteps

I walked alone for a long while,
I walked with a frown, not a smile.
I walked the barren wasteland,
I walked alone and did not understand.

I walked till I found,
A pathway that took me to higher ground.
I am walking in the footsteps of the Savior,
I am walking with a new attitude and new behavior.

I am walking hand in hand with my Savior,
And with salvation has given me favor.
If I had traveled on my own,
Who knows where I could have gone?

So don't walk alone life's road,
And don't carry sin's heavy load.
Walk the road ahead with the Savior,
And know that He can change your behavior.


-Wade Jinright

Still

I stand still here as I wait,
And know that God is never late.
I move when He tells me to move,
And to stay would only my God behoove.

I stand amazed as I stand still,
And I am ready to do God's will.
It is in the stillness, I hear Thy voice,
Because I have made You my choice.

In the stillness, You created the world,
And the stars in the universe were hurled.
Far greater still, when Your Son went up that hill,
And through His sacrifice, my soul did fill.

-Wade Jinright

Shine

A light radiating in a dark, dark world,
And like the sun, its brightness unfurled.
For we were walking a dark, dark road,
And we were carrying a heavy load.

This light is not mine alone,
But radiates from Almighty God's throne.
The warmth of His light fills my heart with joy,
And His Spirit with peace does employ.

Spark the light across the land,
And take the Word of God in your hand.
Radiate the light so bright and clear,
And let them know that He is near.

-Wade Jinright

Bridges of the Past

Burn the bridges of the past,
Build on something that will last.
Those things that you have done,
And by the blood, He remembers none.

Forgive and forget is His command,
Even though it hard for us to understand.
They serve as reminders of where we've been,
And that we were once enslaved to sin.

Move forward to our heavenly home,
And look forward to the day we will nevermore roam.
The darkness behind, the cross before,
And He through salvation did my soul restore.

Let not the bridges of the past hold you back,
Stay on the alert and ready to attack.
For this may come at any time,
So be forgiven, so you don't have to pay for the crime.

Blessings Abounding- Count Your Blessings

Our Pastor's son preached for the Wednesday night service, and he talked about writing down the countless blessings that he had experienced in his life. I don't think that we take the time to count our blessings, because we are so caught up in the problems that we are experiencing. We are such a blessed people. I want to hear from those that follow my blog to talk about the blessings you experience on a daily basis. Here are a few of the blessings that I experience on daily basis:

- Waking up with my wonderful family
- Getting hugs and kisses from my kids
- Looking forward to what God can do
- Seeing prayers answered
- Being able to make a house into a home
- Friends that make life more enjoyable

Let Not Darkness Blind You

Darkness has fallen across the land,
With sin and degredation, and blood upon the hand.
We need a light to cast upon the sin,
And show us that Christ can change the hearts of men.

Darkness is in the hearts of men,
And many have thrown the towel in.
There is a light in the midst of the dark,
On the journey that we must embark.

Darkness has blinded the people to their need,
And has caused many people to die and bleed.
Let not the darkness consume your eyes,
And turn your ears from these sinful lies.

Darkness, I am not given,
Because light has been made my living.
Christ is my light and salvation,
And He is the way to your soul's restoration.

The Next Big Thing

We are looking to find something to fill the void,
When our lives have all but been destroyed.
Heaping more unto ourselves will widen the hole,
And it will consume and take over control.

The trinkets of the world pass our gaze,
And the world sings their praise.
We have taken the money we have earned,
And all because of that our money has burned.

We can fill the coffers of our need,
And still can be paupers indeed.
Consider Solomon and his life,
And all the things did cause him strife.

I know of something far greater than these things,
And all of the blessings of knowing Him brings.
He gave all the treasures of the world away,
And let us know of a better way.

So don't throw your life away,
When what you chose fades to grey.
The love of the Father worth far more,
And He, your life and soul will restore.

Footsteps of Faith

Men of the Word have walked the line,
And know that it was all possible because of the Divine.
We walk by faith and not by sight,
And in His law we do delight.

Christ walked the road ahead,
And He is alive and not dead.
For where we tread, we do not tread alone,
For He is the Cornerstone, not a stumbling stone.

Though dark be the way,
He is my hope and stay.
Guide me through this weary land,
And help me the attacks to withstand.
