Am I a sinner or saved by Grace Both since I've seen his Glorious Face I'm a sinner saved by the Grace of God Remaining in sin until planted beneath the sod God’s Only Son Jesus walks beside me every day Leading through the minefield of sin all the way Peace and Love I now have deep within After inviting Jesus to come live within November 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop
How can I be an encouragement to a young person today With the turmoil that surrounds us and many things astray Lifting gently with positive thoughts Untieing their attitude of many knots Their frowns of frustration will turn to smiles After attempts to lift them through the miles Greet with a smile, and a smile will be returned Greet with a frown, and your heart will be spurned The Peace and Calmness God has given within I love to share with others to make a new friend November 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop Inspired by the Sunday morning message, Berkeley Baptist Church Pastor Henry Simmons
Who is in control? I often ask Is anyone in possession of this task Trying to control all things around me No possible way that I could see Tired of the frustration that was weighing me down I begin to seek and inquire of everyone in town Some say further your education come what may Others exclaim, go to the church of your choice without delay After many years of searching for the elusive answer My soul being in control leads to a successful dancer November 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop
If we Humble our hearts and Pray to God We will be delivered from the chastening rod Humility with Love will bring His Grace Keeping us in a much safer place Serving others the best we can Bringing us closer to His Heavenly plan No matter our station in life Humility will bring less strife November 4, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Don't rush from place to place Jesus never hastened his pace Always knowing what was ahead Having the power to raise the dead No need to walk fast or run In His will, it is already done Faith like this is difficult to conceive It must be the size of the Mustard Seed Waiting on God will bring everything to fruition If we only take time for our hearts to listen November 3, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In the stillness of the night, find your grace, Place your mind on the Lord, in that sacred space, For in faith's gentle steps, there's no fear to bind, Brother, walk your path, and peace you'll surely find. With every thought, a prayer to guide your way, Trust in His wisdom, let doubt and worry sway, In faith, your spirit soars, casting fear aside, On this journey of faith, let love and courage be your guide.

In shadows deep, where demons hide, A battle rages deep inside, Addiction's grip, a cruel demand, Yet love persists, it takes a stand. To judge not those who bear this weight, For someone loves, it's not too late, To offer grace, a helping hand, To guide them back to solid land. So let us learn, with hearts so wide, To empathize, to be a guide, For in this darkness, love can cope, And give the strength, the gift of hope. Created by MarkWaldrop
The Holy City In Charleston, the "Holy City" stands so proud, Where faith and tolerance blend in the crowd. With history rich in religious grace, Over 400 steeples in this sacred place. A tapestry of beliefs, a vibrant array, In Charleston, all religions find their way. From churches old to temples bright and new, Diverse in faith, yet unity in view. The skyline's silhouette adorned with care, A testament to the many prayers we share. In this melting pot of beliefs, we see, Charleston's spirit in harmony. Created by MarkWaldrop
Have you been picked up by a whirlwind and deposited afar Do you feel lost, always searching for home no matter where you are Find the Yellow Brick Road and help along the way You will find many to encourage from day to day You may need courage from a timid, Cowardly Lion Finding a heart from a Tin Man who is rusty from crying There is even a Scare Crow to offer you a brain You must be careful to avoid going insane Looking for home all this time at the end of The Yellow Brick Road You were startled to find your home, your soul that began to overflow October 31, 2023 MarkWaldrop
