Jesus Whispers Peace

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

Jesus Whispers Peace

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

1Ki 19:12  After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper

Grandma’s Bible

Grandma has gone home to be with the Lord now. 
She left her Bible, a stronger testimony than the sweat on her brow

The Bibles cover is torn and tattered from much use
Its pages are wrinkled and worn; some have even come loose 

Every time I hold her Bible, I feel her spirit in my hand
She and God's Word became one. 
How this happened is difficult to understand

I know she is at rest in God's Love 
A promise God sent from above

I cannot bring her back from the dead
I can go  meet her if I look ahead

God's son Jesus promises me eternal life
If I ask him in, I will certainly live with less strife

I forget what I forgot

I forget what I forgot
Someone in my Family is named spot

Well, it's less stressful this way
It makes no difference what I say

Don't feel sorry for me
Not remembering, I feel free

God has a way of giving His Peace 
All my troubles and cares cease

I have no trouble remembering my prayers
It's a blessing to have someone who cares 

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
Amen

Christmas Season

The Christmas Season is fond memories of long ago
The season of Baby Jesus being born and longing for a Christmas Snow

The Christmas play at Church
The warmth of the Season, we search

Pressing my nose to the frosty window pane made my heart race with cheer
Hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa's giant red Sleigh and the eight tiny reindeer

Little sleep before Christmas Morning
Santa quietly arrives with no warning 

My sleepy eyes missed him again tonight
He must have arrived late just before daylight

The Joy of giving and caring for those we love
The teaching from our Heavenly Father above

Being grateful for what we have
Is the key to God’s perfect Love

Listening

Listening goes a very long way
Bringing greater happiness than what you say

Listening is cultivating an essential art in life
Mastering it will undoubtedly bring less strife 

Listening is showing respect with your ears
Reverend listing will bring many tears

Listening shows you care about others and what they say
Everyone needs to know that someone cares today

Jesus cares for everyone every day 
He always listens no matter what you say

My broken heart

When I am at my lowest; God is at his greatest
He brings his Almighty Love, that's the latest
Only  when I'm down can he
Lift me up
That's when I start to drink from His Holy Cup

Being  lifted up and on my way 
I start to share his love everyday 

It's only then His power can be felt
That my heart begins to melt

Pouring my melted heart into a new mould of love
Only coming from my Heavenly Father above

With a new heart and a new task ahead
I will only stop when I reach my deathbed
