Exalt Him

Exalt Him

As I pass through this life on earth, each day wanting to survive,

In the past I thought it was all on me, and I was thankful to be alive,

But I found that old wide road I was travelling, was really not the way,

That would lead me to the eternity I wanted, it was not where my future lay,

For I heard a preacher speaking about, one who loved me more than anyone,

And for all the bad things committed by me, He had died for all I had done,

So I repented accepting His salvation, and fell down on my knees,

And the scales of my sin fell from my eyes, so the real truth I can now see,

I found there is no condemnation, if one only believes,

For in the believing in Jesus as Lord, eternal life with Him I receive,

Now praising and worshipping my wonderful Savior, is something always worth repeating,

So I will exalt my Jesus knowing, the old devil is taking a beating.

To Reach Them

To Reach Them



As to the entirety of this world, I am as a grain of sand on the beach,

Yet I know even if I whisper, to God my prayers will reach,

Even as the waves roll over the sand, may God's love wash over me,

Then I will share it with others, so they too can share God's eternity,

Even as the sun rises in the east, and until in the west it dims,

May I be this consistent, striving to my life without sin,

As a wildflower grows in the wilderness, and there is no one it to see,

May I show the beauty of my salvation, wherever I may be,

In the whole of God's magnificent creation, I may be the only Bible some people read,

So something I say or action I take, may point them to what they need,

So I am hoping that in the living of my Christianity, that my life will preach,

For I am a part of God's family, on His mission this world to reach.

Ours to Change

Ours to Change

We search through our lives for purpose, some meaning we seek to find,

Still some wallow in the same rut, the same old daily grind,

It really is a type of bondage, the devil puts us in,

For he wants nothing better, than for us to remain in sin,

Yet some seek to have something going on, they have truly rose above,

The worldly things that deter us, and found out what is true love,

For it is just found in Jesus, He is the only one,

The only Way to eternal life, given to us through God's Son,

In accepting Him we guarantee, our salvation throughout eternity,

Then we discover that His plan is our finding, His will for you and me,

In reality our old human life, really has been rearranged,

Now we see the world through new eyes, and it is ours to change.

My Faith is Alive

There were times in this life, when I felt like Lazarus, buried and dead,

For I had fallen for the devil’s tricks, let him get inside my head,

And it was not very often, that I thought much at all about my eternity,

But one day I heard Jesus calling, and He was saying come forth to me,

And that stone that was my heart, that had been so hard and cold,

Was changed in the shortest instant, when I let Jesus take control,

I learned that even with all I had done and been through, God really loved me still,

Now I study His Word every day, wanting to be only in His will,

For without Him life is fruitless, that is not where I want to be,

But in Him life is eternal, from sin, the grave, and death, I’ve been set free,

So into this ocean of human living, into which each day I must dive,

I have found that truly it is love, that makes my faith alive.

In God I Trust

I didn’t see the moon all day, but I knew that it was there,

And I’ve never ever seen God, but I know how much He cares,

I sat and watched a stream, wondering where that it might go,

It reminded me that out of God’s heart, tremendous love does flow,

As I ponder sometimes, there is so much more of God’s will I want to know,

And just like the kudzu in Alabama, I wish that knowledge would grow,

Each day the living in this world, seems to make more and more demands,

But as for me I will rely on Jesus, and on this Rock I will stand,

And bit by bit I am finding out, just how much the Word of God is true,

Within its pages there lies a special plan, laid out for me and you,

So I will not lay up my treasures here on earth, where they will rot and rust,

But I will store them up in the safety of Heaven, for only in God I trust.

It Ain't Over

It seems some folks believe this life is it, that it is one and done,

If they don’t believe about Jesus’ first trip here, then they don’t the second one,

But I have read the good Book, from the first page to the last,

And my thinking is it is a good thing, for us to pray and fast,

For someone who doesn’t know better, it could be a scary thing,

Yet I do so I will be worshipping, waiting on my Savior and King,

Living a life in harmony, with what God truly wants me to be,

Thankful that my spiritual eyes, have been opened so I can see,

Knowing I am not perfect, but I am seeking God’s will,

And if one would only believe, then for you there is time still,

So if your life is full of sorrow, without hope and full of sin,

I promise you it’s time to change, for Jesus is coming again.

I Am Free

It is a true blessing from God, to have been born in the land of the free,

But I didn’t really know what freedom was, until I learned what Jesus did for me,

For in my living in this great land, I didn’t think I was a prisoner to anything,

Yet I found sin held me in bondage, and to its habits I would cling,

Then I found Jesus offered me an escape, by my accepting His free gift of salvation,

There truly is nothing like the chains falling off, in a spiritual revelation,

Yet just like the living in America with all of it choices, I am free to choose,

But Jesus gave me a choice, that I definitely could not refuse,

For there are only two choices, that matter in my eternity,

Heaven and hell hang in the balance, so I choose to believe,

And I learned that while Jesus hung on the cross, He really was thinking of me,

Now I am truly grateful for my birthplace, but more so for Jesus setting me free.
