As Hypocrites

We tell people not to,
Do drugs or drink, but then,
They'll see us at the bar.

We tell kids to turn their heads in a bad part of the movie,
While we focus ours to the TV
We lie we lust but do not admit it!
We just go on our merry way.

We say we shouldn't judge,
But we do it anyway.
We don't understand all the pain people go through,
Or why they look a certain way.
While we should invite them in,
We throw them out!

So then we are as hypocrites,
Doing our own thing while we say another.
We are as hypocrites,
Saying judge not, but then judging one another.
We are as hypocrites when we fake God's spirit.

We are but hypocrites, 
Cause the people, 
Who need Jesus,
Are not all at church or at Bible study.
There at schools, they're the people, 
Who wear the weird hair,
Or weird clothes to the people who look like you.
There the people at work, who give you a cup of coffee or,
That you go out to lunch with.

They're the people on the street, who live there,
Or just walking.
They're the people in prison, who robbed,
Stole, or killed someone, but they still need Jesus.
 
They are the people at the hospital,
At nursery homes or retirement homes who are hurting and sick,
And need God.
Some are so close to dying without God, 
We don't even think about.

We need to, as hypocrites, 
Turn around,
Get our life strait,

And then go out and tell people, 
That Jesus Christ is Lord.
We will not argue or kill,
Or have wars over it. 
To believe and have faith is not to be forced on someone,
But with the love of Jesus.

It's to be told in every fruit of the spirit.

As hypocrites,
We need to turn things around,
Because the time draws near,
And we must live holy lives and tell of Jesus Christ our Lord!

Clash

As I look into myself,
I see what I do not want,
I see the darkness and pain,
My soul seems empty.

This emptiness is replaced by darkness,
The dark is pushed back,
By what I’m supposed to be.
My soul yearns,
And thirst for more of You,
And yet it cannot be until,
I accept the dark and reject it,
Only then can I be all You want,
And give all of me to You.

My words seem empty,
My thoughts clash in my head,
What to think,
What to look at,
How to look at things?
Situations in which wrong and right,
Seem blurred,
By thoughts the world has given to me,
By the morals now so low,
And so excepting to almost anything.

The clashes of good and evil inside me,
The thoughts of what could have been without You,
Or if I would be without You,
What things may have changed?
What things would I have done different?
Would the priorities be different or the same?
What keeps me the way I am?
Is it You or my own self?
Would I really be different without You?
And if I am not then what is wrong inside of me?
What inside of me will not let go?
What clasps onto the world?
Satan,
And my own greed?
Am I afraid of what I might become?
What others might think?
Or what others might do to me,

If they truly knew who I was?
What I am?

Am I living to be called after Your Son?
What things in life do I so cling to,
Not to realize You are more important?

What in my life means more than You?
Why does it mean more?

What is this pain?
This constant thought,
It nags me in prayer,
In church,
In the long hours of the night,
When it’s only You and me?

Do things consume me,
Or do You?
What are the important things,
And how do these compare to You?

I stay up late asking why,
Then never give it a second thought.
Things I do and why.
Only I know why.
But does it make sense?
Is it worth it?
What does it get me in life?
What does it help?
Who does it help?

Others seem so focused,
So close to You,
I want to be there,
But will I do what it takes?
Will I give myself to You?
Why don’t I?
Is it fear?
Is it confusion,
Embarrassment?

Where has joy gone?
Clash
Page 3
Is that what I’m missing?

My soul seems scared by things I’ve done,
Because I won’t let them go.

Will I give them to You,
Or keep them forever?
The answers are inside of me,
And inside of You.
I need to change,
So I can become in tune with Your Will.

I seem asleep in You,
Frozen in Time,
Help me wake from this state, 
With the burning passion to do,
Your Will,
Till I’m totally on fire for You,
Devoted to Your Will!

How Can I?

As my mind wonders,
How can I be so selfish,
How can I be so rude,
To never,
Spend time with you?

You gave me life,
Not just on Earth,
But in Heaven,
With you forever.

How can I feel so weak?
When in my weakness,
You are strong,
How could I ever love another,
As much as you love me?

How can I never tell,
Another about your love,
But wait,
How many have I told,
How many have I met, 
That still don’t know you.

How many times do I fail you?
And yet I am still here,
On this place,
We call Earth.

My mind wonders,
Once again,
About the birds of the air,
The whales of the sea,
And the animals of the Earth.

I’m like a single rose,
Dry,
Without water,
Then you come to me,
Like rain,
And lift my spirit up,
Giving me more life,
Every time we meet.

Lord,
Give me strength,
To tell of you to others,
Lord give me strength,
So when I hear you calling,
I will listen,
And follow your ways.

How can I ask,
For more than I need,
When you’ve given me,
Everything?

You’ve given me life,
You’ve given me hope,
You’ve given me love,
When I can’t carry on!

I pray that in my time of weakness,
I will depend on you,
To give me strength,
To go and share the Gospel,
To others,
And never Deny you.

Give me the power,
To go the right direction,
So more people might,
Know you.

“To God Be The Glory!”

No Reason to Reject

You hear the lord,
He’s calling you by name,
His arms are open,
He is ready to take you,
Just the way you are,
He has already taken your sins,
Only He can make you whole again.

All,
That he ask,
Is that you would believe,
That he died for you,
So that you,
May have life,
Eternal life.
Abundantly.

There’s no reason to reject,
No reason you can find,
Not to except the love,
Of the one who gave his life.

When you have troubles,
And problems,
He is there to hear,
When you have joy,
And much happiness,
He will rejoice with you.

You have no reason to reject,
There’s no reason you can find,
To reject a man,
A man who gave his life,
A love that reaches all,
A grace that is shown through life,
A hand that comforts,
In the trials of life,

A Love that is so great,
That God,
Would send his Son,
To take on all our sins.

A reason to reject,
Is the reason you will die,
For not to receive the love,
You will surely die,
And be in torment,
For the rest of your life.

Then the demons and,
The devil himself will,
Taunt and curse you by name,
And hate will be the only thing. 

You will try,
To blame,
Your friends, 
Who did not tell?
But then you’ll, 
Have to look,
Right back at yourself.

Then you’ll hear a voice,
A voice like thunder,
When it rains,
It will be God calling you,
By name,
You will see a lake,
That glows with fire,
You will feel the heat,
And death from head to toe,
You’ll start to walk,
Past the lamb who died,
As a tear comes down his eye,
Then you will be thrown,
Into the lake of fire,
To eternally die.

That is all there is,
You will be no more,
Your sin,
And rejection has killed you forevermore.

There’s A Hunger

There’s a hunger inside you,
It won’t go away,
A hunger for the Lord everyday,
There’s a hunger inside you everyday,
For the truth,
The light,
Jesus today.

Your hunger is strong,
So keep up your faith,
For the Lord,
Our Jesus,
Is here everyday,
The hunger keeps on burning,
The hunger is strong,                                                                                     
The hunger can be fed,
Only by his word.

The hunger for things can’t go away,
But our hunger for God,
Is all the same,
We all will stumble,
We all will fall,
But he will forgive,
It says in his word.

Go back to God,
For he is the way,
Go and follow him,
Everyday,
We all have troubles,
We all have pain,
And the Lord,
Jesus,
Can heal us today.

We all fail,
We all turn away,
But don’t let Satan lead you astray,
Follow the Shepherd,
Jesus Christ the King,
We all are people,
And we will all sin,

But the Lord Jesus Christ,
You know he forgives.

We are all Christians,
We need to fall on our knees,
Before our Lord,
To pray foe forgiveness,
Repent of our sins,
And thank the Lord,
For what he has done,
And what he will do.

So follow God’s will,
And follow God’s way,
Follow his word everyday,
Unify your church,
Your family,
And your friends,
For the time is coming,                                                                                    
It will be soon,
The World will end,
And so will you,
So keep up your courage,
Go and be bold,
Go and share the Gospel,                                                                      
Whenever you are told.

Keep up your hunger,
Until the last day,
When Jesus the Lord,
Comes back someday,
To take us all with him,                                                                                     
To Heaven above,
To rejoice in his name,                                                                                 
And in his love,
Forever and ever,
A-man!

In Return

A God of love,
A God of grace,
A child of You we all are,
If we return to the cross.

In return,
We give You nothing,
How hallow headed we are,
You show Your grace,
We take your gift,
And say it is all ours.

You tell us to go,
But we stay just the same,
Even believers don’t have enough faith,
To go and share God’s name.

The joy Your servants,
Had so long ago,
Is no longer there,
When You save a life,
Hardly no one cares.

You give us eternal life,
And we use it for our own.
We think,
We are In.
That’s all that matters,
But there is more.
You give us your word,
And we read it as if it were fiction.

The Bible is a letter,
Past down thousands of years,
From God to us.

You give us Your love,
And showed it,
WhenYour Son,
Jesus Christ died on the cross,
For my sins.

You give us Your grace,

By loving us,
Even when we mess up.

You give us Your friendship,
Everyday,
We can tell you anything,
We can share joy,
And share pain,
And You will wrap,
Your arms around us,
And tell us how much You love us,
As the tears come down,
So will Yours,
Because You care so much.

In return we give You nothing,
But in The Return,
Of Your Son,
You give us everything,
Even beyond,
Our wildest imagination.

When the time comes for God,
And Jesus Christ to take me home,
And I go into Heaven.
I hope I have given the Lord,
Some things in return for my love,
My  praise,
People in Christ,
And most of all,
To give my life,
Just as Jesus did.

After all,
We are supposed to follow,
Christ Example!

The Sweet By & By

One day I awoke,
To the sound of a trumpet,
And looked toward my window,
The light was blinding,
It illuminated the room.

I ran outside,
And tried to see,
Where the light came from,
Then I saw Jesus on a cloud,
Surrounded by angels,
He said, “Come”.

His voice,
Was like the raging sea,
I closed my eyes,
For it was so bright,
My eyes had begun to hurt.

When I opened my eyes,
I saw a line of people,
That reached beyond comprehension.

I finally was at the front,
And I saw an Angel,
In his hand was the book of life,
The Angel asked my name,
As I told the Angel,
The book was opened,
He started flipping through the pages,
As the Angels fingers slid up and down the pages,
Looking for my name,
I had a peace, 
For I knew my name was there,
The Angel looked at me,
Strait in the eyes,
And proclaimed, “Go, For the Son knows you as his own”,
While pointing towards two gates of pure gold.

As I walked in,
I felt something wonderful,
It was the presence of God,
The presence of ultimate purity,
And ultimate holiness,

The I noticed that this place was full of light,
But where did it come from,
I looked,
But no source was found,
Light came and went everywhere,
There was no darkness,
There were no shadows.

I looked and saw a choir of Angels singing,
And also thousands and thousands of people,
Worshiping God,
I saw 24 elders,
Laying down their crowns of life,
That they had earned on Earth,
And give it to God,
And everyone sang
Holy, Holy, Holy!

Later something happened,
We all started to move,
We were going back to Earth,
But sin was no more there,
So finally we could once again,
Dwell with God there.

I begin to remember,
All those who did not except him, 
I remembered all those 
Who had been thrown into the eternal,
Pit of hell.

I began to sop,
And weep,
I also noticed others,
Were soon doing the same thing,

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder,
As I turned I saw his face,
The face of God,

He looked at me,
And said,
“All your worries and all your cares,
All your pain and tears,
Just let them go,
There is nothing more you can do.”

He then drew his arms up,
And gave me a hug,
And a kiss on my cheek,
But at that instance all the pain,
And all the sorrow were gone,
The tears disappeared,
And I found ultimate peace.

I watched God, 
As he went from person to person,
I watched each of their sorrows turn into joy,
I watch the Father comforting his children,
I saw springs of water begin to flow,
And trees of precious fruit grow.

I then began to sing,
I just wanted God to know,
How much He meant,
I wanted to tell Him how thankful,
That I was.

Once I started singing,
I could not stop,
I wanted to keep worshiping Him,
Then I heard others singing,
And then Angels began to sing,
But no one moved,
Everyone worshiped God,
Separately and differently,
But all in unison.

You're Wrong, God's Right

We lock him up,
We put him away,
But he’ll come back,
And tug at your heart, 
Everyday,
He’s in your heart,
He knows your pain,
So why do we drive him away?
We push him out,
We drive him out,
We know he won’t go away.
He will keep tugging until were saved,
He knows your pain,
He knows your shame,
But God will always care,
All God wants is your love,
So will you share?

You know your wrong,
You know God’s right,
So don’t just walk away.

We lie,
We lust,
We all are sinners,                                                                                          
So turn to God’s way. 
Jesus Christ,
The Lamb,
Our God,
Who was slain?
He took our sins, 
He shed his blood,
On the cross for us,
Salvation came at Calvary,
When Jesus Christ was slain.
Christ is the light on a dark day,
Follow him and you will go,
The right way.
You can feel it,
God’s tugging at your heart,
Repent of your sins,
Let him in,
And your life will change!

How Many Times?

How many times has our church turned away,
From God and His will so that they could have,
Many people come to church.
Why do we have ONE High attendance Sunday!
When every Sunday should be High attendance Sunday.
Why do we put so much faith ,
And leadership on the preacher.
He is not here to lead us all,
And tell us what to do,
But help us,
Cause we should all be searching, 
And seeking God's will and not our own,
Or someone else's will.

Why do we care about little pitiful things,
That have nothing to do with You.
We cry, whine, get depressed over little things,
That we cannot help or didn't do well enough.

Why don't we remember,
That You are here with us,
And that You will always watch over all of us,
And if something bad or hard comes up,
That it's part of your will,
Just as something good is also in your will.

What are we doing here still?
You must have a plan or something,
That You  want each and everyone to look for, 
Find, live, or tell about! 

Why we turn away from what we know,
God want's  us to do.
Why do we push  his will,
And his holy spirit away from our own greedy,
Picky, and selfish need.
How are we going to have more people,
Come into our church if we don't leave room for God.

We get caught up in business,
Meetings, committees, and religion,
That sometimes we don't know what we are really using.

Why are using  all of those things,
When God's Holy Spirit wants to come,
But cannot because we use them and do,
Not focus on God and his will,
Like He tells us that we are supposed too.

Why do we preach the Bible,
If we as Christians don't follow its teachings about,

Lord, I Doubt It

A man was working in his office,
And was invited to church,
His friend said,
Come you will learn about the Lord.

Lord,
I doubt it,
Said the man, and went home.

The man kept thinking,
Lord,
I doubt it,
How could there be such,
A pure,
A One with no sin.

Even after this,
God gave the man another chance,
The man finally went to church,
And was saved saying,
Doubt the Lord,
Oh how I was foolish.

Later God called the man to go,
Into the ministry,
The man again said,
Lord,
I doubt it,
I doubt that I can go, and share the Word.
Look at me,
Lord,
I doubt it.

The Lord gave the man every chance to answer,
His calling,
But the answer from the man was the same.
Lord,
I doubt it.

The Lord saw the man was miserable,
Because of his lack of faith,
And the man did not do God’s Will.
So the lord took the man home,

And at the man’s deathbed,
His brother said,
A Lord,
I doubt it.

And the man,
Who was in heaven saw this,
And cried saying,
There is a Lord,
Who died for your sins!
Please,
Don’t doubt it!

Lord, You are Not

A man said,
You Lord are not?
The Lord said to the man,
I Am,
But the man turned his face,
And said again,
Lord You are not.

The Lord again came to the man,
Speaking through his friend,
But the man said again,
Lord You are not!

Several months later,
The man was in a car wreck,
And was supposed to die but came back.
The man began shouting,
Saying,
Lord You are!
Lord You are!

But the man’s friend,
Who had been there said,
Lord You are Not.
How do you know believe,
When you have almost been killed.

The man in the hospital bed started crying,
His friend began to ask him,
What are you crying for?

The man said,
Can’t you see I am alive,
By the grace of God,
Oh my dear friend,
I have lead you the wrong way,
Don’t you see how stubborn I am,
To lead you away from the Lord.
Dear friend now believe,
Because just like Jesus has saved me once,
He has also saved me again!

Lord of My Life

Lord,
Or are you?
Are you?
Lord of my life?
Or is it money and music,
Gambling and games?

Why do I put you,
On a shelf,
When I should put you,
On the pedestal of my heart?

Take all these things,
That come in the way of you.
Help me to do your will,
So that you are the one,
And only,
Lord of my life!

Nails, Crown, And Heart

It’s odd that the 1st of 3 is 3,
But the amount of pain,
Of suffering and agony,
Cannot be explained.

Can’t you see and hear the first nail,
Go into your Saviors hand,
And you start to see the drops of blood,
And fall down to the ground.

Can’t you see the second come,
Tearing his flesh,
As it goes through His hand.

Can’t you hear the people taunt Him,
By name,
They mock and laugh,
And place bets on his clothes.

Can’t you hear the last nail,
As it goes into his feet.

Can’t you see Christ upon the tree,
Crying out to God in agony,
And in sorrow.
As he takes on all your sins.

You hear it still,
You can’t get the sound of the nails,
Out of your head,
As you hear the banging of the nails,
Into the Saviors hand.

You hear the cries of the Lamb,
As his body is broken so that,
We may have life.
And,
Now you see a despicable thing,
A man climbing up the ladder,
With a crown of thorns,
To put on the head of the King.

You can hear the man mock The Christ,
The King.
He then places the crown on Jesus’ head,
But it won’t stay,
So he pushes it into the head of the Lamb,
The thorns pierce His head.

Blood falls from His brow,
His hands,
And his feet,
To the ground,
Where Mary and the Disciples weep.

Then out of all of the cries of agony,
The man next to Jesus says,
“Jesus,
Remember me when You come,
Into Your kingdom.”
And
While bleeding,
And out of breath,
Jesus answers,
“I tell you the truth,
Today you will be with me,
In paradise.”

Jesus then,
With all his power He had left,
Lifted His head, to the heavens,
And with his last breath says,
“Father,
Into Your hands I commit,
My Spirit.”

A heart,
Of love that died,
For no fault,
But for our selfish ways!


-By: Daniel Brockhan

Break

Oh Lord,
Please break me.

I know that I need You,
And You know my selfish ways,
And I need Your love,

Please break me,
This is what I pray.

You showed,
Your grace,
When You died on the cross,
You gave eternal life to me,
What could I give?

What could I give,
To One,
Who’s so special to me.

O Lord please take me,
That I may be a vessel to thee,

Oh take me.
Oh break me.

O give me the love to go on,
Until that glorious day,
When I see Your face,
And I know Your grace,
And touch the scars in your hands.

And hear Your voice,
Wonderful voice.

And feel the peace,
Ultimate peace.

And see Your face,
Beautiful face.

And live with thee,
All in eternity.

Struggle

How many times do I get the urge to please You,
But please myself is all I do,
Putting me before You.
I say I’ll put You first but then do my own delight.

I want to give,
I want to change,
But my flesh has me stop and stay the way I am.
My sin seems to control me,
But all I want and need is You!

I yearn to see You in the end,
See You shinning like the sun.
You in all Your Glory, but I should praise You for Your Goodness now!
I should praise Your Glory now and not wait.

I seem to be wasting time here,
I am not praising You as I should.
I do not see You goodness all the time. 

I use the excuses and life of others to pull me down,
But it is up to me,
It’s a relationship between You and me. I feel burden.
I feel a struggle between flesh and spirit,
God and Satan,
Heaven and the World.
How will this struggle turn out?
How will I end?
Will I return to what I do,
Or change and leave the old life behind?
I was once so close to You and had all the answers.

Now I seem distant from You and have all the questions.

I ask but do not change,
Seek but not learn,
Yearn for You but I do not have Joy.

What’s the question?
What’s the answer?
You tell me to worship You and I’ll find the every answer,
But what if I cannot find the time?
What if I do other things?
God,
Help me to find the way.
I want to be closer to you.
My Savior,
My Friend.

Live in the Clouds

I wish I lived in the clouds,
There it’s you and God,
There you see the whole world in peace,
When you’re there,
There’s no war,
Death,
Lying,
Lusting,
Gossip,
Or stealing,
And all the sin can be forgotten.

In the same way,
Let your heart,
Mind,
Soul,
And body be a vessel,
So that God may work through you,
Believe in Jesus Christ,
And all of your sins will be forgiven,
And forgotten,
Forever

We are on this Earth for a reason,
To know and love God,
To worship God,
And his love,
And to follow God’s will,
Go reach out,
And win people,
For Christ.

We don’t understand,
We are here for God,
Not us,
We are here for God’s will,

We are so blind,
We are trapped in the darkness,
But with God’s grace,
We can see the light,
Will we follow?

For us,
As Christians,
To be committed,
We need to pray,
Read the Bible,
And obey God.

The World is so lost,
We need no divisions,
We need God,
To turn from our wicked,
Stubborn,
And selfish ways.

The time is now,
If we don’t turn to God,
Our World will be lost,
Then we will all perish,
In the sins of mankind,
Instead of the life,
From the glorious hands of God.

God is Love

God is love when you fall,
God will help you up,
And help you grow,
God will show you the way,
When you don’t know,
God will be the only one you can trust.

God was love,
When he lead the Israelites,
Across the Red Sea,
And set his children free.

God is love,
When he spares our lives,
When we turn away from Jesus Christ.

God was love,
When he sent his son,
To cleanse all people for their sins,
Christ was the last sacrifice,
He is the Lamb,
Who saved us from our sins?
Who let us have a Heaven?
For all who would believe,
In God’s only son,
Jesus Christ.

God is love,
When you really see all your friends,
Then you will see,
God is your close,
And personal friend.

God is love,
To all who come,
God is love forever,
Never ever ending.

God is love forever!
LOVE = 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4 - 13

Your Will, Not Mine

Dear God,
I stay awake,
At night,
Thinking about You,
And Your glorious power.

How You could,
Love,
One who turned you away,
So many times.

Help me to do Your Will,
And let my will go,
Help me to be like you,
In everything I do.

Speak to my Heart and Soul,
Help me to worship and be with You,
In Spirit and Truth.

And when I am done with this life,
I want to say I lived a good life.

2nd Tim 4:6-7
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. _NIV

And never have to regret about,
Doing my will instead,
Of Yours.

How Do You Express

How do you express,
A love that you can’t explain,
A love that goes beyond,
A love that gives more than it receives,
A love that comes from God?

How can you forget,
A love of Jesus,
Who was beaten and mocked,
A love of Jesus,
God’s Son,
Who loved us so much,
That He died for our sins,
A love that took on all the sins,
All the pain?

How can you resist,
To love Him,
He gives his gift freely.

Can You Hear The Voice?

Can you hear the voice?
Or have you not heard,
The one that calls you by heart,
And doesn’t say one word.

Hold On You?

Rise up,
Weary Christian,
It's your turn to take a stand!

Right now Satan has you in his hand.
You look to the right and left and theirs no way out.
Try looking up to God, then kneeling to the ground.

Each time you give in, it makes it easier for Satan to use you.

Look at the Christian you've become.
You are no different than those who surround you.
You say, "God", but follow Satan.
You say you believe in Jesus, when the only belief you have is yourself.

People are perishing, and going to hell,
But all that you can do is think about your desires, yourself.
How can you become so blind so quick? 
How can you fall so deep, so far away from your maker?

Everyday away is another chance you miss on telling others,
Being a witness.
You become tempted and fulfill your desires.
You worship and praise things, make idols of worthless things.
You are so blind, you can't even see the hand of God right beside you!

Everyday is another tear from the eye of God.
You practically give yourself to Satan, and in return,
You get to fulfill all the sinful desires of your heart.
You no longer walk in the light, but in darkness!
You are drowning in a pool of sin so deep,
You don't know which way is up or down, in or out!

Satan does this so you won't leave, but that you will stay,
And eat out of his hand instead of at the table of God. 
He makes sinful desires your bible and your God,
So you no longer follow the true God.

The it stops, and you at a point…
It is life or death, 
To proclaim Jesus as the Son of God or reject him.
It is not said by your words, but by your actions in public and private! 

Satan has his demons around you, pulling you down,
You find yourself, pushing, crying, weeping, calling upon God.
But you hold on to the sinful desires and until you let them go,
You can never be helped, be made strong,

Or a person worthy to be called a Christian! 

You hypocrite, you think your better than anyone,
Anyone before or after you,
Do the laws of God have no effect on you, are you higher than God?
Do you think you can love God, while you love and exalt yourself,
And your desires.

Think…

God has been testing you, have you stood up to the test.
Have you won the race, fought a good fight in the spiritual since?
Does God look at you and smile or weep?
Were the nails in Jesus' hand not enough for you?
Was his blood not enough for you?
Was the whipping, taunting,

And flogging of his bruised and beaten body not for you?

Does Satan have a hold on you?

Lord

Lord, Take my thoughts,
That don’t please you.
Lord, Take those words,
That are evil from my lips.

Lord, Take those things,
That lead me away from you.
Lord, Take my eyes,
And let them see your face.

Lord, Take my hands,
And let them do your work.
Lord, Take my feet,
And lead me to the needy.

Lord, Take my life,
And let it be for you.
Lord, Cleanse me from my sin,
That I may be holy for you.

Lord, Forgive me,
For all that I’ve done wrong.
Lord, Give me strength,
To go and tell your word.

Lord, This is my prayer,
That all may come to know you.
Lord, That they would serve, 
And praise you,
In spirit and in truth.

Lord, That every knee will bow,
And every tongue confess,
You are Lord.
Lord, That every eye will look,
Up to the heavens,
Lift up their voices,
Praise your name,
And know,
You are Lord of all.

In the Lord's House

In the lords house I praise His name,
In the lords house I greet all believers,
In the lords house I sing to his name,
In the lords house it’s fun all day,
In the lords house I wish I could stay.

But all to often, 
Once we leave,
So does are love,
Hope,
Even faith.

The church,
The body,
We should share,
Christ with anyone, 
Everywhere.

No one’s perfect, 
We all fail,
Let’s repent of our sins,
Leave them in the past,
And look toward the future,
God wants to use us,
But we go are own selfish ways.

We need to go out,
Reach out, 
And win people for Christ,
No matter who they are,
Or what they do,
Even what they have done.

Jesus was around sinner's everyday,
He did not care about their past,
He only cared about their future.
Jesus went out and preached,
He preached with a pure heart,
The people he preached to were rich,
Normal,
And poor,
For it did not matter what they looked like,
In the eyes of Jesus Christ.

Let your body,
Be God’s house, 
Praise him,
And love him,
Carry him all the time,
Never forget,
He lives in you. 

Always keep God in mind,
He’s always with you,
Live a life worthy of God,
And not of mankind.

Find the Joy

You see some faces,
Bright with cheer,
While other faces,
Are down and dreary.

You sometimes look around,
At church,
And see both faces,
And you don’t know,
What to make of it.

You think to yourself,
Joy isn’t just,
A smiling face,
Or a cheerful grin,
Or even a smile hiding a frown,
It’s not a handshake,
Or a big bear hug,
It’s not even a kiss on the cheek,
Or a happy hello.

So you wonder,
As we all wonder,
What is real joy?

Real joy,
Is the love of God,
Flowing out of you,
Like a fountain.

Joy is when you think,
About God and His wonderful love,
While you listen to birds,
Sing in the trees.

Joy,
Real joy,
Is when,
The Holy Spirit,
Burst out of you,
With all of the happiness,
In the World.

Joy is,
Singing praises to God,
With all your heart, in Spirit,
As well as in Truth,
In the worst,
As in the best situations.

Joy,
Real Joy,
Is something all of us need,
But don’t always want,
We should strive for real joy,
And then God will use us.

Dear Friend

Dear Friend,

Oh, how I’ve missed you. How I’ve missed hearing your voice. Did you get the invitation yet? Yes, you are invited to come; and yes I really want you to give the invitation to all your friends. I’m sorry that some of your friends could not make it. So, how’s your life doing? I missed you everyday we did not meet. I think about you all the time. I think about how you’ve grown and what you’re going to be when you are older. How would you like to work for my dad and me? My dad will take care of you. My dad misses you and wishes you would call. He could use your help for the party because everyone is invited. My house is nowhere near full. I’ve got enough room for all your friends and family to come. Did you get the flowers I sent you last spring? How did you like the luscious apples, oranges, and peaches I gave you last season? When can I have supper with you again? My father and me really miss you. My father’s going to send his servants to come and help out in that business you going to start. Sometimes they’re quiet and will surprise you, but you’ll like them. I love you with the love of my father, and hope to hear from you soon. Be back soon!

Your Friend,
Jesus Christ

P.S. - I’ve reserved you a spot at my banqueting table, and you get to sit between my dear friends Joshua and Job.

First Song/Poem

As walk past my window,
To try to reach my bed,
I allways stop to rember what went on that day.

My Lord your are more presus than silver,
More werthly that gold,
Of Lord,
You always be the one,
The only one.

Once He came opun us,
Like a sheperd in the wind,
Oh Lord plese come opun your people,
And let us see your face
