II Peter 1:5-7

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness, and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

He Reigns

The glorious sunrise reminds me of you

providing me with a heavenly view.


Your sacrifice of being slain

for our sins would have been in vain.


You’re no longer held by death’s chains

therefore I’ll sing with joy He reigns.


He reigns, He broke the chains, He reigns

for all eternity, He reigns.

No More War

I hate the very thought of war

Please LORD, no more

We need some peace

these wars should cease.


I want to live where it is calm

A peaceful balm

to heal the heart

make pain depart


War free final destination

my peace is won

on yonder shore

forevermore

Reminders

Precious memories in my heart

Clicked and kept

Captured and framed

In a single moment of time


Brought out occasionally

To ponder on


Reminders

God

Loves me

Without My God

Without my God

there would be no birds

to sing their melody

no sparkling stars splashed

across the ebony sky


Without my God

there would be no sunset

to bring forth praise

from my
 
trembling lips

no fragrant flowers

with splendor to behold

no peace 
or tranquility of mind


Without my God

there would be no love

no one to share 
 
my burdens or

joy of happiness

Without my God

Thanks to Tracy Wood for the artwork.

Safe in Daddy's Arms

She feels safe in her father's arms
 
Her dad would never let her go

No reason she should feel alarm

She feels safe in her father's arms

Her dad is dazzled by her charms

She hugs him, then a kiss she blows

She feels safe in her father's arms

Her dad would never let her go

Which Way

Feet planted 
 
upon shores of time

footprints may melt away

as wild waves come and go

the direction you take

is your choice

sinking sand 
 
or 
 
solid stone

Let's Give Him Praise

When everything is going great

let's give Him praise.

He gives us cause to celebrate

our hands we'll raise.

We'll lift our eyes to see His grace;

someday in heaven see His face
.
Although the sunshine doesn't blaze,

let's give Him praise.


When bad health comes to devastate

we'll lift our gaze
.
Let's thank the LORD and meditate

on all His ways.

When trials in our life appear,

recall our God is always near.

In all His ways He does amaze,

let's give Him praise.

God is Bigger

God is bigger than the shadows of fear I see

He is bigger than anything that frightens me

God is bigger, Yes, He's bigger,
 
God is bigger, Yes, He's bigger 
 
God is bigger than the shadows that I see.



God is bigger than all the struggles which I face

He is bigger than all the battles in life's race

God is bigger, Yes, He's bigger, 
 
God is bigger, Yes, He's bigger,

God is bigger than the struggles which I face.

He's My Dad

My dad's a giant in my eyes

He's super size

A fearless knight

who fights for right



I ride dad's shoulders way up high

I touch the sky

With him I'll fly

At least, I'll try
