On March 29, 2012, as I was praying about specific situations going on in my life, the Lord gave me the verses in Zechariah 4:6b-10a: “’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘What are you, O mighty mountain? … You will become level ground… Who despises the day … Continue reading Not by Might

Not Be Silent
This song, based off Psalm 30, updated to our relationship with Jesus Christ, God the Son, is a psalm of thanksgiving and praise for all that God has done for us in providing salvation for us from sin through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and through his resurrection. He delivered us from … Continue reading Not Be Silent
No Less
On March 19, 2012, I was talking to the Lord about stuff going on in my life. I had just written out my devotions from the book of Amos, chapters 1-2. I was thinking about how Amos was just a shepherd when God called him to be a prophet and to give out his messages. … Continue reading No Less
Never Will I Leave You
On May 11, 2011, I had this horrible headache (from an incoming or outgoing storm) all afternoon. I was sitting on the sofa crying and praying for Jesus (in His name) to heal me. Then He put this song, "Never Will I Leave You," into my heart to write as His message to me to … Continue reading Never Will I Leave You

My husband was watching the neighbors get a new roof put on their house, and so there were lots of nails being discussed. My granddaughter then began singing, "Nails, nails, nails, nails, nails." So, the first five notes of this … Continue reading Nails Were Pounded

Unrequited Love
When I was in high school, back in the 1960s, I was “in love” with a guy, and we were friends, but he was not in love with me. He was in love with another girl, who was not in love with him. And, I wrote a poem about that, at that time. So, as … Continue reading Unrequited Love
My Witnesses
“…the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (Rev. 17:14). I know the Lord gave me the words and music for this song, so I first of all wanted to look at the phrase, “will be called,” in … Continue reading My Witnesses
My Sheep
When Jesus spoke of his sheep, he was speaking of his true followers. They hear the voice of the Lord, they listen attentively to his words, they obey what he says, and they follow him wherever he leads them. They find forgiveness and salvation. This is the mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. … Continue reading My Sheep
My Prayer
When we accept God’s invitation to his great salvation by his grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, he indwells us with his Holy Spirit. We now have the Spirit of God within us leading, guiding, counseling, helping and directing us in the ways of the Lord and … Continue reading My Prayer
