Emmanuel

He begat her, she begat He

28 generations Abraham to our King

Honorable soul, worthy indeed

Chosen by God, a prophecy to read

 

A promise fulfilled, a promise foretold

A prophecy kept in the stories of old

An angel appears in a worthy man’s dream

Do not fear what this woman brings

 

For the prophets have told our King will arrive

Through a virgin birth, welcome this child

Welcome he did, fears laid to rest

Marrying her, passing the test

 

Laying not with her till the child was born

Foregoing ridicule, mockery, scorn

Trusting prophecy, and an angel sent

Trusting our Savior’s approaching decent

 

Perfectly recorded, told so well

“God with us,” Emmanuel

Live by Faith

Live by faith
Or live by deeds
One is a struggle
One fills our needs
If you’ll give up control
Your faith will increase
Rely on yourself
And your blessings will cease
Lean not on your own understanding
Glorify God to the most
Your needs are well known by the Father
The Son and the Holy Ghost

Today is the Day of Salvation

Today is the day of salvation
Why is this hard to believe
Our culture has put man before God
A trick that’s designed to deceive
So many will fall to the pressure
Don’t push me – It’s my life to live
I can’t be as bad as you tell me
I’ve done nothing for Him to forgive
The message is all you can tell them
The Truth is all you can say
The Spirit is what will convict them
Confession’s required this day
Belief is our confirmation
Christ died and defeated the grave
A gift that’s beyond understanding
A knowledge our soul has been saved

Peaceful Shores

My Dearest God, I beg of Thee

Don’t give me what I deserve

 

Please hide my sins from the world at large

I’m ashamed and I wish to conserve Continue reading Peaceful Shores

The Book

It’s been given to us

A book that’s passed on

Family to family

Father to Son

From the Son to the world

Though the world rejects

The Truth of this book

Is a Truth that reflects

The ALPHA-OMEGA

Beginning and end

Love and hate

Repentance of sin

Humanity argues

Vanity strong

Hating each other

Passionately wrong

Admit you’re a sinner

Strangely you’ll see

That Satan’s as clever

As clever can be

But God does not lie,

Deceive or pretend

This book has been given

To glorify Him.
