I was crucified one day in a most horrible way. There were three of us that day. I deserved what I got The man in the middle did not.
When I got to Heaven, they asked me why I was there. I had no deeds to show, no Scripture to declare. They asked me once more why I had come. I had no answers, no merit, none.
Then the silence was broken, a voice pure and true: “The man in the middle—He said I could too.”
So here I stand, not by works of my hand, But by grace undeserved, in the promised land. Not for my record, my effort, or good, But only because the Man in the Middle said I could.
Just as the trapeze artist, high in the air, Leaps with a trust beyond all compare, Reaching with faith, no fear in his heart, Knowing strong arms will do their part
So must we reach with courage untold, Extending our arms to the One who holds. Our God will not falter, His grip will not cease, He offers His children a refuge of peace.
He will never let go, He will never grow weak, His strength is unending, His love what we seek. Through the gift of His Son, His mercy shines through, And His peace will sustain in all that we do.
No eye has seen, no ear has known, The wonders God calls His own. Beyond the reach of mortal mind, A treasure eternal, vast, divine.
The world may dream of wealth and fame, But heaven’s glory outshines the same. For those who love Him, pure and true, God’s prepared a life brand new.
And yet His Spirit makes it clear, Reveals the truth while we are here. The deep things hidden, now made known, Through Christ, the Word, the Cornerstone.
So live with faith, be bold, be strong, For in His grace, you can’t go wrong. With heaven’s promise as your home, For God — go big, or never roam.
1Co 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1Co 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
When shadows fall and trials rise, When questions linger, cloud the skies, God whispers softly, “Child, be still, Each step is guided by My will.”
Though burdens press and roads seem long, His purpose weaves a brighter song. What seems like loss, what feels untrue, He’s shaping good in all we do.
For those who love Him, hearts made sure, His promises are strong, secure. Each moment fits His grand design, A work of love, both yours and mine.
So walk in faith, lift up your eyes, His plan is perfect, strong, and wise. For all things work, both dark and bright, Together for good in His holy light.
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Hope in the Lord, your strength will renew, Each trial endured, He carries you through. On eagle’s wings, you’ll rise above, Lifted by mercy, sustained by His love.
You’ll run the race and never tire, Fueled by His Spirit, set aflame with fire. You’ll walk each step, steadfast and true, For God is your strength in all that you do.
For God’s Honor and Glory MarkWaldrop
Isa 40:31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
God gave me a pen in hand and words in my heart, A gentle reminder of His love from the start. Each line that I write is a prayer taking flight, A whisper of grace in the stillness of night.
I am humbled by the blessings He has sent, Each moment a treasure, a gift Heaven-lent. If my words can bring comfort, or lift up a friend, Then I’ll use this sweet blessing till life’s journey end.
You spend your wealth to keep your health, Chasing life, preserving self. Doctors, cures, and fleeting days, Gold slips through in countless ways.
Then comes a time when health is spent, And toward your wealth your heart is bent. You trade your strength for gain in vain, Yet neither can your soul sustain.
For wealth will fade, and health will go, A truth that every heart must know. But treasures stored where moths can’t reach, Are found in Christ, who longs to teach.
So guard your life with wisdom true, Both wealth and health God gave to you. But seek first Him, the Giver of breath, The only One who conquers death.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

“We spend our health to gain wealth, and then spend our wealth to regain our health.”
