Just a Breath Away

This human life is but a shadow, which quickly passes by,

We can’t add one second past what God has for us, no matter how we try,

And there are loved ones who have left us, before we wanted them to go,

But as to their time and season, only God really knows,

So now that I have found the truth, I live my life a different way,

As I want to be in God’s will, each and every day,

Because I don’t know when it will be my time, when God will call me,

That is why I am trying to walk, into what He wants me to be,

And I will strive to obtain, God’s excellent perfection,

So my life in every area, will show His loving reflection,

If Jesus is not your Savior, may You accept Him I pray,

Remembering that the choice you make for eternity, is only a breath away.

Unending Love

Lord Your wonderful and gracious love, is as vast and deep as You,

And in spite of all my failings, Your love always is true ,

Now abide faith, hope, and love, generated from Heaven above,

But I know from studying Your teachings, that the greatest one of these is love,

So I will ever seek Your presence, striving to know Your will for me,

For on my own I will never know, what You want my living to be,

And I am aware that the devil walks around like a lion, seeking those he may devour,

But I am not afraid of him, because I live my life within Your power,

So I stand on Your Word Lord, resisting all the devil's temptations and tests,

Finding that Your yoke is easy, and in You I find eternal peace and rest,

All my praise and worship belongs to You Lord, I bow before You humble as a dove,

Realizing how awesome life can be, if lived within Your unending love.

Staying the Course

Are we wasting a lifetime, just experiencing momentary earthly pleasure?

Knowing that in the balance waiting, is a Heaven filled with wondrous treasure,

The devil uses sin to beckon constantly, wanting to keep one’s soul lost,

Not wanting us to know the truth, of Jesus paying sin’s terrible cost,

Satan is the hate monger, trying to turn us from God’s love,

So we don’t seek the good things, so we don’t keep our eyes on things above,

But one day in God’s presence, is better than an eternity spent in hell,

That is why I always seek God’s will, so I know with my soul all is well,

Basking in His presence accepting His salvation, for He is its only source,

Walking in those Biblical footsteps, always staying the course,

Realizing that the future of my being, holds the very best part,

But for today I want Him to know, that I love Him with all my heart.

Within His Love

Lord the deep well of Your love, it never will run dry,

And I cannot use it all up, no matter how I try,

But Lord there have been times, when I felt I put it to the test,

Yet I have found You love me, even when I'm not at my best,

And Lord in all my living, may I let You be a part,

So I will seek You daily, and love You with all my heart,

Also may I love my neighbor, always pointing them to You,

For obeying these two commandments, is what You want me to do,

Knowing that any good thing I do, prospers my eternity,

So in my being may doing Your will, be the choice I make for me,

May what You have done for my salvation, be the love that I show,

For in my sharing my hope is that, Your love everyone will know.
