250701 Keep On Praying

 Keep On Praying


When worries on your mind are weighing 
Keep On Praying

God's promises, he is delaying
Keep On Praying

If bills, you have no way of paying
Keep On Praying

When ones you've trusted are betraying
Keep On Praying

When sunny skies just keep on graying
Keep On Praying

If burdens at your feet keep laying
Keep On Praying

Life's giants always needing slaying
Keep On Praying

When signs of stress, you are displaying 
Keep On Praying

When sin's huge debt, you are repaying
Keep On Praying

If hounds of hell at heels are baying
Keep On Praying

When hopelessness you are conveying 
Keep On Praying

If you don't have the words for praying
Keep On Praying

Or understand what Bible's saying
Keep On Praying

When love you've known is now decaying
Keep On Praying

When in great pain day after daying 
Keep On Praying

While rope your hanging on is fraying
Keep On Praying

If loved ones from the Lord are straying
Keep On Praying

When joyful music mind is playing
Keep On Praying

When word of God you are obeying
Keep On Praying

If love shows up with plans of staying
Keep On Praying

Through Bible,  God's word is relaying
Keep On Praying

When happiness is everydaying 
Keep On Praying

In life, when blessings are outweighing
Keep On Praying

In good times, bad times, I'm just saying
Keep On Praying

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...

240531 In the Garden

In the Garden In my garden I find peace From all the troubles thrown my way My breathing slows, tensions release When digging in the dirt and clay To garden does not feel like toil Or work that I am forced to do It's joy to feel my hands in soil To grow things and watch life renew The weeds don't even make me pout Imagine each one as a care I pluck them up and throw them out Now gone as if we're never there What joy to watch new sprouts appear From bulbs I planted in the fall Their blooms filling my heart with cheer The tulips, daffodils, and all Each early morn while there's still dew And sun has just begun to rise I rush to see what sprouted new Each leaf and bud a sweet surprise  Then, carefully, I tend each one A little water, proper soil The right amount of shade or sun Such pleasant work, nothing can spoil You all are truly gardeners, too  A fact that perhaps you don't know You're sowing things by what you do And also reaping what you grow For when you pla...

231003 Unearned

Unearned Earn a promotion, earn a raise Earn touchdown for good football plays Earn gold medal or blue ribbon Earn leading role for play you're in Earn soccer trophy, scholarship  Earn respect in a relationship  Earn settlement in legal suit Earn recognition playing flute While every one of those is nice Won't earn your way to paradise  It's not something you can work for Only one way opens that door It's a free gift! Can you believe it? The one thing to do is receive it Accept that Jesus is the Christ And then can live in paradise  It seems too simple to be true For surely there is more to do In this life, everyone has learned All things of value must be earned How could this gift be freely given A golden ticket into heaven? Not really free - cost dearest price Through broken body of Jesus Christ  For with his death, sin's bill was paid Then rose so we could all be saved All done because of unearned love From God, our Father up above Don't strive to earn it any...
