Poems that send darts🎯to touch our hearts❤️
Daddy was a coal miner nearly every day of his life
He couldn't miss work that would cause much strife
We bought all our stuff at the company store
We had to cause we were so drop-dead poor
Prices were high, but the credit was good
It was close to our neighborhood
Never getting ahead, just scratching from day to day
The loving company credit never went away
Looking back, I didn't know I was poor
My clothes looked like what the other kids wore
We went to church on Sunday and always praised God
I guess that's what kept us above the grassy, green sod
Mamma never showed any worries
A smile on her face
I now realize that came from God’s Amazing Grace
No matter what kind of shape we find ourselves in
God sent His Son so we may always have peace within

A coal mining Christmas is what I was used too
Remembering the smells of Grandma's Christmas stew
We all got a little Something for Christmas. I thought a lot at the time.
Even though it may have cost no more than a dime
That was the time of year the boys got new overhauls
The girls all giggly over new dresses and the decorations in the halls
I was as happy as I could be
Because of God’s Love and Joy living in me

I'd rather have Jesus
I'd rather Have Jesus than all of the wealth in the world
Just knowing Jesus will bring spiritual riches unfurled
What A friend I have in Jesus; he knows everything about me
Knowing all, He's such a close friend; He still loves me
Jesus came to save me from my sin
Giving me eternal life to live forever
with Him
I pray whoever reads this will Find him today.
Please, Please don't delay.

There is so much more beyond the seashore
There’s more There’s more
There’s much more to my earthly life
There’s more There’s more
What little I know about my Creator
There’s more There’s more
What I know about Jesus and his love for me
There’s More; There’s More
The never-ending Love of God and my life in eternity
There’s More; There’s More
Thank God. Thank God there is always more
Even though I can’t see the forest for the trees

Woodpeckers are an extraordinary bird
Pecking is how they spread their word
Strange how God makes such a simple plan
So the birds can communicate across the land
My behavior gets me into trouble. I need to slow down
Often with my actions and speech, I act like a clown
My prayer today is Lord slow me down
That I may make no one frown

I am climbing up the Heavenly Ladder
Every rung, the light becomes brighter
Every rung, I climb the peace and grace
Bring closer, into focus His Heavenly Face
With each new height, I gain
I know my life was not in vain
The sufferings I encountered here on earth
They give me much greater heavenly worth
Not understanding God’s Great Plan
Evolving day by day for, every man
His ultimate loving plan is so simple
Sending Jesus to rescue the sinful

Does the gift of detailed organization come from God?
Yes, it does. The confusion comes from the other Path I have trod.
Organization takes over my mind.
Keeping Me from being very kind.
Divine attributes are sent from God above.
They don't always fit in this world with little love.
Organization is Undoubtedly to be.
However, It is not the eternal key.

Whether we have very little or a whole lot
We should serve Jesus with all We've got
Near or far, wherever we are
Serve Jesus by following his star
Serving is the key to His Master Plan
Following this, with Him, we will stand

God is Great enough to rule his universe
He's small enough to live in my heart
God is loving enough to save my soul
Jesus came in and made me whole
God's Greatness is too Great to be told God’s Grace, and Mercy are worth more than earthly gold
God sent His Son Jesus as a sacrifice
That we might forever have eternal life

When I'm distraught and have no place to turn,
Jesus Whispers Peace
When I'm homesick and want to return,
Jesus Whispers Peace
When I grieve and cry uncontrollably,
Jesus Whispers Peace
When my time comes, I will not be alone;
Jesus will Whispers Peace
Oh, the peace that he gives, I can not understand
The peace He gives will lead me into the promised land
