Those Were The Days

We all recall a time that we wouldn't mind going back to, but unfortunately we have to move forward and not look back. I remember a time that I didn't have a care to worry about, but I would not change where I am at now. I have a wonderful family both near and far, and I am blessed everyday by all the things around me. There are some things that I cannot change in life, but I am content with what I have.  "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content." (I Timothy 6:8)

The days we left behind,
May we not be blind.
May we look ahead,
May we live as He did.

Don't look back,
Don't loose track.
For the day is new,
What will you do?

The days are bright,
Keep the cross in your sight.
When things grow dim,
Know that it is Him.
 

Let Your Words Be Wise

Think about the words you say,
Think about them everyday.
The words should heal,
The words should fulfill.

If our words are not wise,
Then it is to our own demise.
Speak the Words of God in love,
Let the Light of God shine down from above.

We speak sometimes with no thought,
Thinking that we will not get caught.
Thoughtless words wither the spirit,
And does not edify those that hear it.

Words of life have been given to me,
Words that can set your soul free.
Christ spoke these words long ago,
And He through us, wants the world to 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.

Wisdom

Consider the things You do,
It not only affects me, but you.
For in life you must always choose,
What you must keep, what must you loose.

I call out to you, today,
I want you to think and pray.
I want you to see the place you are in,
I want you to know, that you are in sin.

I continue to plead,
For I want you to heed.
The choices we make will hurt,
When we with sin do flirt.

Jesus calls us to remind,
It is only in Him, salvation I find.
Wisdom reminds us to heed,
To think through this life we lead.

Brand New

The morning is new,
Today, what for Him will you do?
The breath that you have been given,
Is not for dying, but for living.

Rested and continually blessed,
Why should I worry?, why should I be stressed?
For all is of God, and blessed is the man,
That follows what God has planned.

Reborn, remade, and justified,
For our sins, You were crucified.
We cannot make all things new,
By Your blood, this what You do.

Remember September

Remember they had no choice,
Remember they still have a voice.
Remember the crumbling towers,
Remember the disbelief for hours.

Remember this solemn time,
Remember this hateful crime.
Remember their glory was not for long,
Remember that we still stood strong.

Remember those that were saved,
Remember the ones that braved.
Remember the dust clearing,
Remember our country cheering.

Remember the darkest night,
Remember those who fight.
Remember that horrific day,
Remember that we need to pray.

Remember those that protect the waters,
Remember those that protect the skies,
Remember our Army brothers,
Remember the Marines and others.

Remember those that put out the fires,
Remember those that had desires.
Remember September not long ago,
Remember that our bravery and courage will always show.

I Have Called You

I have called you to go,
I have given you the power to know.
I will not leave you to yourself,
I will always to give you help.

I will be your light,
And I will give you sight.
I will prepare you to fight,
I will get you through the night.

I took on Myself your sin,
If you know Me, it will never be remembered again.
I have called out on the waves,
And if you fall, I AM, the One who saves.
