Silent Christians

 

 

I had a dream the other night

I learned just came true

Now I’m so devistated

I don’t know what to do

 

I heard my best friend screaming

Then she began to yell

I thought you were a friend of mine

She cried from the pits of hell

 

I quickly said I am your friend

When you called me I was there

It’s just difficult for me to show

Someone I really care

 

She said if you really cared so much

Why didn’t you tell me

There was a man named Jesus Christ

Who died to set me free

 

Why were you so silent

You never said a word

Did you assume I knew the Lord

And of His Love I’d heard

 

If you had only told me

Jesus would forgive my sin

I wouldn’t be in hell today

I’d be born again

 

Then suddenly I woke up

And sat straight up in bed

The next day I discovered

My best friend now was dead

 

I hit my knees and there I prayed

Forgive me Lord I pray

Give me another chance

To win a soul that’s gone astray

 

Give me strength to do your will

In everything I do

In this dark and wicked world

Just let me shine for you

 

(Based on a true story)

Beautiful Women

 

God made beautiful women
in so many different ways.
There’s one for every occasion,
season or holiday.
Small hands to fit
into tiny spaces-
big lips to kiss
all “special” faces.
Wide hips or
small breasts-
you should always stand tall
above the rest.
Dark skin, light skin-
love the skin that you are in.
Thick thighs or skinny thighs-
you’re still beautiful in my God’s eyes.
Eyes of brown, green
or blue-
always remain to yourself “true.”
Big feet or small feet
for God’s cause they’ll help you stand.
Small, medium, large or in between-
God still holds onto your hand.
Look into the mirror
at the beauty within yourself-
for at the end of each new day
sometimes that’s all that’s left.

 

Who are we to criticize
the handiwork of God?
We all shall pass each test.
for through the eyes of God our Father,
we’re “first”, not second best.

 

So let your beauty shine each day
as He guides you through this land
and realize each tiny “flaw” we see
was still part of His plan.

Voice of Time

 

The Lord is the Voice of time

He only knows what is in store

A day is as a thousand years and no more

 

Your Peace surpasses all understanding

When I am weary you restore me

To you I come on my knees

 

You satisfy my longings

Knowing all that I need

In you I trust and believe

 

Life is nothing without you

You Jesus are the Great I am

My life has been changed

By the Blood of the Lamb

 

Jesus is the Life

His Fountain is the reservoir

For all to come drink

Receive the promise forevermore

Gods Love

 

God’s Love
Soothing as Water
Invisible as Air
Always there
Always there
No matter where I go
and what I did
Forgives like no other
Suicide, Asylum
No way
just say
I am sorry
Loving arms are there
Where it doesn’t matter what I wear
The color of my skin
But rather did I pray last night and
will I read my Bible tonight
God’s Love is what I want
cause heaven is where I want to go
