230809 My Savior

My Savior


My Savior is a Carpenter 

A Shepherd, Lion, Lamb

My Savior is the King of Kings

He is the Son of Man

My Savior came as a newborn babe

Lowly manger for his bed

Savior, not as man expected

But as little child instead 

T'was all a part of Father's plan

As bible had foretold

Who truly was, and why he came

Would divinely unfold

My Savior is a Shepherd 

Each of us, his precious sheep

We hear his voice and follow

For our souls does safely keep

Protects from prowling lions

Comes to find us when we're lost

Willingly laid down his life for us

Though He knew how high the cost

My Savior is a Lion

Powerful king of the beasts

Protector of his children 

From the greatest to the least

A fierce and fearsome warrior

Defender of what's right

No evil can defeat him

Must succumb to his great might

My Savior is a precious Lamb

Without blemishes or flaws

A perfect sacrifice for sin

Who died to save us all

This Lamb of God is blameless

He is gentle, kind, and meek

Though betrayed by those who knew him best

Not a word in defense did speak

My Savior is the King of Kings

Yet, stepped down from his throne

While still God, became fully man

To make us each his own

Taught us that in his kingdom

To be first, you must be last

To be the servant, serving all

Is what my Savior asked

Sing praises to my Savior 

Jesus, how I worship you

Worthy of my devotion

And my adoration, too

For though did not deserve it

Still, you saved me from my sin

And promised me eternity 

Paradise to enter in


Mark 9:35

"If anyone would be first, he must be last of all, and servant of all


John 10:11

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep


John 1:29

"...behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world 


1 Peter 2:25

John 10:14

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? How did I get here? I don't know Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow Though, does not matter what the pace Still wonder how came to this place How did I reach this point in time? Reality of it's so sublime For most of journey was uphill Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still How did I get from there to here? In baby steps year after year? Know sometimes how I reached this place Was through tremendous leaps of faith But, other times, through missteps went To places that I never meant Through valleys deep or forests dark Through turbulent waters full of shark Yet, oh, so many times I've found That when I stop to look around  The sun is shining on my face And I am in a lovely place A place with lush, green, rolling hills With irises and daffodils  A place of rest, peace, and beauty  Exactly where I want to be I've found as I trek on my way Sometimes have both in the same day Day can begin as walk in park Then suddenly turn very dark Or st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
