Lost in Jesus

Before I believed in Jesus, I was searching more and more,

Trying to find what my existence was for, the key to open my life's door,

And I enjoyed pleasure in worldly things, many things oh so wrong,

But the thrill I may have experienced, didn't last for very long,

If I continued in the direction I was going, I wouldn't survive the human race,

Then I discovered I hadn't looked, in what was the right place,

For nothing of this earth, can secure my eternity,

But salvation found in Jesus, bought for me on Calvary,

Now I have been recreated, and I am Heaven bound,

For I am now a believer, in God's Word the truth I've found,

Yes I wandered down many wrong roads, until You made my heart brand new,

But for me to truly be found Lord, I have to wholly be lost in You.

Eternity With Jesus

I am one member of the body of Christ, and then all of us are one,

United together through eternity, by our salvation in God's Son,

Headed to Heaven by the only way, our sins can be forgiven,

Knowing that following the things of this world, is not the way I should be living,

Now I have been set apart, truly sanctified,

For I am walking the narrow road, at all cost avoiding the wide,

So beware of the devil and all his wiles, he will forever try to make us fall,

But he has no power over me, since I answered my Savior's call,

For I am a member of the body of Christ, I will never be cast out,

Surviving each day in this human body, of my faith I have no doubt,

So I will glory in living for my Lord, He is truly my delight,

Looking forward to ever being with Him, where His presence provides the light.

In His Shadow

Oh to abide in the shadow, of the faithful holy One,

To earnestly seek only His will, so one day I'll hear Him say well done,

And to know that however good this life is, there is so much more,

Jesus is now preparing it, on that beautiful Heavenly shore,

Of all that is awaiting me, my mind cannot conceive,

What is awaiting me in eternity, when for the first time my Savior I see,

And at that moment I wonder, what I will do and say,

I know that through faith I will be prepared, because I'm growing every day,

Moving more toward the spiritual things, far away from where I had been,

Keeping my eyes on what's above, resisting the temptation of sin,

Thankful that Jesus never gave up on me, His loving salvation I know,

Now I can abide in a peaceful eternal hope, within His awesome shadow.

Thinking of You Mom

You know I miss you Mom, but you are in a much better place,

And I am very thankful for the time, that you ran the human race,

For you helped carry me through my rough times, by your prayers for me,

And you have helped shape me, into what I have come to be,

But Mom I sure miss the meatloaf, banana pudding, and lemon icebox pie,

Yet not having these things I put in my stomach, is not what brings tears to my eyes,

It's the memories of you, and all the good times that we shared,

Knowing that no one else in my life, like you for me has cared,

Now I know that you are looking down on me, from your new home up above,

And in the difficulties of surviving here, I still can feel your love,

But today when Moms are honored, thoughts of you have come my way,

So I send my love to Heaven, wishing you a happy Mother's Day.

His Feet

I think about the feet of Jesus, the ones that walked upon the waves,
The feet which walked the path to Calvary, so that I could be saved,
Oh the miles those feet surely walked, I never read if He had to run,
I anxiously await the moment, I bow at those feet worshiping God's Son,
Now I want to walk in the footprints, that His feet have trod,
For I know that this will keep me, in the presence of God,
The believer's life is a whole lot more, than just the Christian talk,
For the world is watching us closely, every step we walk,
And we really are the only sermon, that some will ever see or hear,
So we need to show them daily, they can live life without fear,
That they can know the nail scars, in His hands and feet are real,
And the salvation birthed on the cross, is saving souls still.
