Standing Around the Tree

We stand around this tree of evergreen,
A family tradition, a wonderful scene.
Pulling out the garland and orbs so bright,
The tree is trimmed and topped with a star of light.

We recall the time long ago,
We rejoice in what we know.
Jesus came down in manger of low estate,
He came on a cold and bitter night, so late.

The tree is a symbol of His undying love,
And He came down from Heaven above.
Faithful He will be forever more,
By His cradle we will come and adore.

We stand and look upon the cross,
Knowing what He did came at great cost.
The tree, where precious was the flow,
Take me there, so that I may know.

Unconditional: Love Unhindered

Love that goes farther than anything known,
No matter what goes on.
You think you have fallen far from grace,
His love is great, so lift up your face.

Love walked up Calvary's hill,
Love, for Christ's blood did spill.
He saw our need for a greater love,
So God did send His Son from above.

Love dwelt among the least of these,
Love healed us from our disease.
Sin is what left us in the dirt,
And if continued in, will eternally hurt.

Love did see the pain that we feel,
And salvation for all is God's will.
Though many will turn away,
His love is new every day.

Love, I know, will not leave me alone,
Love came down from His throne.
For Love that did love the world,
And on the cross, His arms were unfurled.

Love Untold

Love is seldom found,
Yet it is needed the world round.
Loving, whether or not deserved,
On the cross, Christ's love was conferred.

Love the weary and the lost,
Guide them to Jesus and His cross.
If we don't love them, who will,
God is the only one, the hole can fill.

Speak the words of love often,
So that the hearts of man will soften.
For love is of God and He knows,
His sacrifice, does our sin expose.

Our love does not compare,
Because of the blood that He spilled there.
Take hold of the love He shared,
And at the Judgment we shall be spared.

Reflecting the Light

The light passes overhead,
Are we alive or are we dead?
Our light still burning bright,
And we offer a Greater Light.

The reflection you should see,
Should be all of Him and none of me.
The eternal flame burns strong,
And our God fills our hearts with a song.

As the moon in the night sky,
We live in Him and that is why,
We know that without Him we die,
So don't live just to get by.

Reflect the Light of God's love,
And remember that Christ came down from above.
For we are but a mirror reflecting,
While people in darkness are rejecting.

He is there

Walking down what seems a lonely road,
He sees that we are carrying a heavy load.
He does not turn away and cower,
He knows His blood's saving power.

We do not have to imagine Him by our side,
He by His Word our paths does guide.
Even when do not have the strength,
He will go with us to any length.

He did not leave us all alone,
But Christ came from His throne.
For God saw the need,
And His only Son on the cross did bleed.

He is waiting there for you,
And if you call upon Him, 
He will make all things new,
And from Him all good does stem.

He was there before we were created,
And that we by Satan would be hated.
For the love of God knows no bounds,
But it being unconditional, astounds.

When Will It Cease

I ask this question, because it is concerning what happens all the time. The subject is sin. We all do it, and sometimes we do it all too often. We even see it on the news. This is a world full of sinners. It will only cease when Christ returns. I want to offer a solution to sin, and that is salvation. It does not completely remove the sin, but Christ died for all our sins. There is forgiveness for sin; you need to decide to ask for forgiveness. There are many things that are wrong about the world that we live in, but we need to decide to change the world we live in. We are not changing the world by being more green, politically-minded, or whatever else you can think of that might change this world outside of Jesus Christ. Go out into the world and preach the Gospel.

Love Deeper

Love deeper than the deepest sea,
Love that gave His life for me.
Love that bridges the largest void,
Love that repairs what sin destroyed.

Love far greater than any romance,
Love that gave us all a second chance.
Love that took all the hurt and pain,
Love that will now and forever remain.

Love came from our time in need,
Love that from sin our souls freed.
Love that will stretch the world wide,
Love that will not from anyone hide.

Love that the world by God knows,
Love that in our heart shows.
Love that came to seek and save,
Love that when attacked did behave.

The Gifts He Bestows

Yesterday I talked about the gifts that I was thankful for on a personal level, today I want speak of the gifts that God bestows to everyone of His children.

1. His love
2. His life
3. His grace
4. His faithfulness
5. His joy
6. His righteousness
7. His mercy
8. His power
9. His Holy Spirit
10. His wisdom

That is only a few of the gifts that God has blessed us with. God has taken care of everything, can we not render enough praise on a daily basis for His numerous gifts? Remember what your God has done for you.

As For Me and My House

My house created by Hands of God,
And led by His ever-caring rod.
There are many that seek to destroy,
And their evil ways employ.


My home is not here on this earth,
But in Heaven through rebirth.
I will occupy till You come,
And establish You in my home.


I want to rejoice with many in my heavenly home,
And where my joy has come from.
The love of my heart is full and free,
And daily I want to show what You have done for me.


As for me and my house,*
I will ever love my spouse.
I will lead with my Father's love,
Till I am called to Heaven above.


Serving and submitting to Thy law,
And it has caused my cold heart to thaw.
Others will I serve in love,
And I want to bring many above.
