Of Satan’s snare be so aware,And do not live without a care.He’ll wipe you right off of your feetAnd kick you down in deep defeat.He’s tricky, he is, there’s no doubt,He’ll give a one, two, then you’re out. So, put on armor that’s of God,Remain awake, without a nod.Walk in the light, and not the … Continue reading Be So Aware

I Will Not Cave
What’s weighing on my heart tonight?So many things that just aren’t right.A list of them, I have not made.But into them, I will not cave. I give them all to Christ aloneWho for my sins He did atone.How beautiful the love of HimWho cares for me – not on my own. I worry not, oh, … Continue reading I Will Not Cave
The Road Less Traveled
I had a choice between two roads –One was narrow, and one was broad,One was honest, and one a fraud,One of the devil, one of God. I had to choose which one to take –The road less traveled, will it do?Or should I choose what others do?Which will be false, and which is true? I … Continue reading The Road Less Traveled

His Gentle Whisper
In the stillness of the moment,As I sit here in the silence,I am talking with my Savior,And I’m listening for His kindness. I can hear His gentle whisper,As He breaks through all the hush,And He tells me that He loves me,Which He does, so very much. As He tenderly instructs me,In what He is all … Continue reading His Gentle Whisper
Give it a Rest
When we don’t understand,Trust His plan.When life doesn’t make sense,Trust His ways. When things often confuse,Trust His care.When the answers don’t come,Trust His grace. When the myst’ries are there,Say a prayer.When bewilderment nods,Overcome. When complexities scheme,Know He’s there.When we can’t trust in man,Rest in God. For, we may never knowWhat’s in store,Or how God’s working … Continue reading Give it a Rest
Going South
For those who are talking the walk, but who are not walking the walk You say you believe,But then you deceive.You claim you’re a Christian,But it’s just a religion. You say He is Lord;With Him, not accord.You claim His forgiveness,But turn church into business. You say you are saved,But, you’re still depraved.You claim you are … Continue reading Going South

When Miracles Don’t Happen
When miracles don’t happenExactly when we hoped,And things go on as normal;We don’t know how to cope; When troubles, disappointments,Are foll’wing us around,And sadness starts to linger,And gladness turns to frowns; When all the world around usIs turning upside down,And honesty is missing,And faithfulness not found; When liars and deceiversAre pulling all their tricks,And people … Continue reading When Miracles Don’t Happen
