250120 Boldy/Meekly

 Boldly/Meekly

Oh, how boldly I proclaim
The power of your holy name
And then next moment become meek
Behave as if You're oh so weak

I know how boldly I make plans
Instead of placing in Your hands
Then, meekly have to come to You
When what I've planned has fallen through 

It seems a paradox to me
That I profess my faith boldly
Yet, meekly worship in a crowd
Will sing the hymns, just not too loud

It really doesn't make much sense
I know my faith's not on the fence
Boldly proclaim my love for You
Though, meekly fret, how much You do

How could your love for me be bold 
Meekly confess, if truth be told
Don't always feel I'm worthy of
Your reckless, neverending love

Yet, it's with meekness I submit
To your will, Lord; yes, all of it
For Christ said, "blessed are the meek"
So gentle spirit's what I seek

I can come boldly to your throne
For you, Lord have called me your own
Christ boldly showed his love for me
Meekly endured that cursed tree

For Christ's both lion and a lamb
Thus, deep inside, that's what I am
So I can be both bold and meek
In how I live and how I speak

I'll boldly fight the devil's ways
Yet, humbly, meekly Christ obey
Boldly profess my Christian faith
While meekly seeking Jesus' face
Within Lord's perfect harmony 
For boldly/meekly God made me

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...

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...

240821 Little Things

  Little Things  I got a pebble in my shoe Though was a tiny thing It caused a bruise upon my heel And oh, such pain did bring  Was walking on a windy day Got speck of sand in eye Was almost too small to be seen  But surely made me cry A dear one was upset with me Harsh words - said one or two The sting of then, hard to forget Though we began anew A little fib seems no big deal No harm in a white lie Till it becomes a habit And the fibs just multiply Ofttimes, it's just a little thing That can throw you off track Yet, all those small things added up Can break the camel's back  And sometimes little things grow big Creating quite a mess For most don't simply go away When they are not addressed  Pebble must be removed from shoe The sand washed out of eye Harsh words need an apology  The truth, replace a lie  The devil knows this principle  So that's how he begins Whispers to you his little lies Compromises lead to sins He gets you to take little...
