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

Promises

We've all made promises, some good some bad
A few made you mad, a few made you glad

Keeping those promises is what counts
The real truth in you will surely be announced 

God's promises are forever true 
Thousands are there waiting for you

Reading His Word will surely reveal them at the right time 
As you approach The Throne of Grace, in your long difficult climb

The clouds of Vietnam

The dark clouds of Vietnam loom over our bowed heads today. 
Those who served and died so that we might have freedom, I pray. 

Those that lay down their life for another, their sacrifice we can not understand. 
No man can have greater love than to lay down his life for his fellow man.

Many were criticized for serving their country and doing what they were told. 
Death crosses party lines, caring not about the politics of old.

Training

To win a physical contest, you must train vigilantly 
This will make your body perform with great agility. 

Spiritual training is much the same,
training with our mind, soul and heart. 
To bring us across the finish line, with great speed, from the very start

The finish line of our life often seems so sad at times.
The Spirit of God being in our lives, 
We will hear those glorious chimes.

Brokenhearted

Here I sit all brokenhearted
20 years, I'm back when I started

Nobody cares, work my fingers to the bone
No one cares enough to call on the phone

Sittin here crying old crocodile tears in my soup. 
Just jumping through the same old mindless hoops

Will this horrendous loop never ever end?
Getting off my butt, I might make some friends. 

Well, maybe someday I will muster up the courage.
Finding friends that care for me, surely I will be less discouraged.

Somewhere in time

Somewhere in time, God created the universe.
Somewhere in time, Adam and Eve brought in a curse.

God saw that sinful man was doomed from the start.
He put into motion, Jesus, saving our sinful heart.

One day, time stopped, when God's Son's earthly life, came to an end.
When He arose Victorious from the grave, He had conquered all sin.

He is waiting to bring God's Love into our hearts.
It has always been in God's plan from the very start.

All being God's children, we can't 
imagine how He Loves us so.
Eternal life, we will have, if we ask His Son Jesus to save our soul. 

The Power of His everlasting Love conquers all. 
In good times and bad, He will never let us fall.

Not having to die, to have eternal life here on earth. 
Eternal life starts In the heart with our divine soul's rebirth.

The Love and Joy,  that is sent from Heaven above. 
Can only flow from God’s Throne of Everlasting Love.

Fork in the Road 

The road to Heaven or hell forks at the Cross of JESUS. 
At the end of one of these roads, HE will be there to receive us. 

How do we determine the right road for us to take?
Read the Holy Bible for the right decision to make. 

HE left us the road map to navigate through this world of sin. 
It tells of HIS SON who died on the cross, to lead us to HIM. 

If we choose not to read this manual, we do not have a chance,
to select the right road to see our destination in advance. 

All of the signs and rules of the road are included within. 
To keep us from the snares and pitfalls on this road of sin.
