Divine Path of Light

In the vast expanse of cosmic grace,
I'm but a speck in this wondrous place.
He, the universe's eternal youth,
The embodiment of purest truth.

I follow in awe, with humbled heart,
As He weaves His art, a celestial chart.
He leaves a trail of His radiant light,
For my fragile soul, a guiding sight.

I tread lightly on this sacred ground,
In His presence, a treasure I've found.
For in His wake, a glimpse I spy,
Of the divine, as He passes by.

Oh, how fortunate, this path I share,
With the One whose love is beyond compare.
I'm just a speck, He's everything, it's true,
Yet He reveals His beauty for me and you.

It’s Springtime somewhere

When winter comes and its bitter cold outside
Not to worry or fret; I will soon be satisfied

Wait, wait, glorious spring is on the way
I will have ample time to frolic and play

It's Springtime somewhere; the feeling is in the air
It's Springtime somewhere. Thank God its almost here

As I patiently wait, my bones can feel the excitement so near
With the signs of Spring, budding flowers bring great cheer

No matter where I am  or the feelings I have, it’s Springtime somewhere
Thanking My God every precious day, there is a new feeling in the air when I pray.

Meaning of Salvation

 

What does it mean to be saved, you ask?
It's a new birth, a heavenly task,
A gift from God to those who believe,
A chance for a new life to achieve.

Like newborn infants, pure and mild,
We must grow into salvation, a precious child,
Nourishing our souls with spiritual milk so pure,
In faith, we find strength to endure.

Salvation, a journey, a divine embrace,
A path to God's love, His saving grace,
It's the promise of a brighter tomorrow,
Banishing grief, erasing all sorrow.

So let us cherish this gift from above,
A life renewed, filled with God's love,
In salvation's embrace, we'll forever stand,
Guided by faith, held by His hand.

Blinded by the physical Can’t see the Spiritual

I’m blinded by the physical I can’t see beyond my nose
Looking for all the physical pleasures and all it bestows 

Never looking up to see where the blessings come from
Always looking down not realizing what I can become

Taking the blinders from my eyes the rays of light enter in
Revealing unto me the sin I've been in

The love of God came in when Jesus entered in
Saving my soul making me whole to start anew again

Trusting God’s Name

In You, O Lord, our trust is found,
A refuge sure, on solid ground.
Those who know Your name so true,
Find strength and hope, their hearts renew.

For in Your grace, we're not alone,
Your steadfast love, forever shown.
You do not abandon those who seek,
In earnest quest, Your face they speak.

Through trials deep, we find Your hand,
Guiding us to a promised land.
In every step, Your presence near,
Eradicating doubt and fear.

So let us search, with hearts ablaze,
In awe of You, our constant gaze.
For those who know Your name divine,
In trust, they flourish, they brightly shine.

“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.” (Psalm 9:10 

Joy

Joy does not come easy in this sinful life
Where do I look for Joy while enduring strife

Inner Joy does not come from this world
It came with Jesus His Joy unfurled 

Joy can be attained in any situation 
Looking to The Maker of our creation

Joy comes in the morning after a restful night's sleep
Continuing all day if His Commandments I keep

Spreading God’s Love and Joy to others I find 
Brings peace and happiness through God's design

The Milkey Way

I thought I had lost you tonight drawing  your last breath I was so in fright
With blurry eyes looking into the skies your plan  came into clear sight

Gazing at the Milky Way my heart was in despair
A twinkling star came into sight saying I'm right here

The Milkey Way grows brighter each night
A new star added when my loved one takes flight

Some call it Paradise some call it heaven
I call it in God’s Plan all my sins are forgiven

 I Lookup upwards to the Heavens tonight to find my twinkling light
They are there seeming to say don't fret everything is all right.
