More Than Ever

More Than EverIn today’s chaotic world,With everything around us crumbling,Morality held in contempt,Our leaders false, corrupt, or bumbling,More than ever, we need ChristTo lead us through this darkening place,His absolute truth will light our way,He’ll lift us with His love and grace.The Bible is our cornerstone,In God’s word, we take our stands,Role models we will strive to be,Examples of our

Come To Jesus

Come To JesusIsn’t there more to life?Is this all there is?Imprisoned by our need for control,trapped by insatiable desiresfor worldly pleasures,we are oppressed by our desperate hungerfor approval and lovefrom everyoneexcept the One who loves us most.Straining, fighting to releasea familiar yet unknown burden,we struggle to flee the tension, the stressfrom the inner knowingthat our lives are

Nothing We Can’t Handle

Nothing We Can’t HandleNo matter what distressing times I face,When rain and storms replace the sunny weather,When things I counted on fail to sustain me,There’s nothing we can’t handle, Lord, together.If those I thought were friends act more like foes,If I start to lose the things I hold most dear,I know that I can tell it all to You;You want to listen to me and to hear.When my earthly world

I’m Trying, But…

I’m Trying, But…I’m trying, but…what I want to do,I don’t do enough of,and what I don’t want to do,I do too much of.I know the rules for a Christian life,according to the Bible,and I’m trying; I really am, but…heaven and eternity seem so far away,and the rampantly materialistic worldpresses in so closefrom every direction, every side,that I get distracted.Focus, focus, focus!I need to focus,

A Perfect Christian

A Perfect ChristianYou could count on a perfect ChristianTo always be gentle and humble,To be immune to sin,And never, ever stumble.He’d study and rememberAll of God’s commands;He’d be trustworthy, moral and honest;You’d know just where he stands.With others, she’d be in harmony,She’d never lose her cool,Forgiving and forgetting,Following the Golden Rule.He’d surrender his life to God,Full of joy

We Need You, Lord

We Need You, LordWe need you, Lord.Like lost wanderers in a burning, empty desertthirst for cool, clean water,we long for you to quench us.In a world gone progressively mad,with chaos all around us,we seek refuge in the order and purpose of your law.With evil sneaking, leaking everywhere,spreading heavy darkness,creating feelings of emptiness,we hunger for your goodness and light.Turn us around,

Help Me Forgive

Help Me ForgiveWhen rage and fury overwhelm my heart,It’s time to look to God’s own Holy Word.I search the Bible for His good advice,My will to His commands must be deferred.In Romans God reveals His love for me,In all things God works only for my good,He gives me blessings I can’t understand,I’d be peaceful if I’d do the things I should.Jesus forgave so much; why then can’t I?I want to mold my

To Do List From God

To Do List From GodI ran my life in search of worldly things,My time and will were firmly in control.I thought I had no need for what God brings;I gave no heed to murmurs from my soul.“You’re planning, doing all the time,” it said,“But something else is missing deep inside.Your mind is whirling, but your heart is dead,So turn to God and let go of your pride.”I did, and God said, “Here’s My plan

Just Like Me

Just Like MeDear Lord, forgive our yielding to temptation,Forgive our pride, our love of worldly things.Have mercy on our love of sensual pleasure,Compassion on the sins that self love brings.It must be hard to understand us sometimes,So very different is your heart and mind.But wait, I just remembered that you do knowWhat it’s like to be a part of humankind.You suffered just like we do, and you
