I’d rather have Jesus

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’s more; There’s more

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

Woodpecker

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

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

Organization

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.

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

The class reunion

Do you hate going to a class reunion as much as I do?
Maybe it's because I don't look like I Used to. 

I've lost contact with most of my classmates. 
Some have passed through the Golden Gate 

Some day my health won't let me attend
Maybe I should reconsider seeing them again

For me, the class reunion may come to an end 
If that were the case, this would be difficult to comprehend

Pondering on  this for another few years
It will give me ample time to drink a few more beers
