Only Christ Knows the Way

Follow no man, their steps may fall,
Their voices may wander, their wisdom be small.
Though promises shine, they soon decay,
Only Jesus Christ knows the way.

Leaders may falter, the crowd may divide,
But Christ walks steady, forever our guide.
His truth is light that will never sway,
Only Jesus Christ knows the way.

So fix your eyes on the cross above,
The path is narrow, but paved with love.
Through every storm, both night and day,
Only Jesus Christ knows the way.

Jhn 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

God’s Love Is the Answer

When questions rise and doubts appear,
When storms of life seem loud and near,
There is a truth both deep and small:
God’s Love is the answer to all.

No wound too deep, no fear too great,
His mercy comes and will not wait.
Through darkest night, His light will call
God’s Love is the answer to all.

The broken heart, the weary soul,
Find in His grace a peace made whole.
No chain can bind, no sin enthrall
God’s Love is the answer to all.

So lift your eyes, His promise true,
The cross declares His love for you.
Forever strong, it cannot fall
God’s Love is the answer to all.

1Jn 4:16  And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

True Riches

If you want to be rich, don’t measure in gold,
For treasures of earth will wither and mold.
Count the blessings God gives you each day,
They’re wealth that can never be taken away.

The sun on your face, the breath in your chest,
The peace in your soul when you’re finding His rest.
The love of a friend, the gift of His Word,
The whisper of grace when His voice is heard.

Each blessing He gives is a jewel divine,
A fortune eternal, forever to shine.
So don’t chase the riches that vanish like dew,
True wealth is the mercy God pours into you.

     The Truth Sets Free

Pretending to be Christian won’t carry you far,
A mask soon slips, revealing who you are.
It drains the soul, it weakens the song,
For pretense can’t hold very long.

But with Jesus within and the Spirit to guide,
Your burden is lifted, with peace inside.
His strength will carry, His mercy will lead,
Supplying each step with the grace you need.

For pretending is false, but truth is the key,
Only through Christ can the captive go free.
Without His light, confusion will reign,
But His truth brings hope and eternal gain.

So cast off the mask, let His love shine through,
For freedom is found when His Word is true.

Jhn 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

   Jesus, The Cornerstone of Life

Upon the shifting sands of earth,
Where hopes can fade, and fears give birth,
A solid Rock stands strong, secure
The Cornerstone, both firm and pure.

No storm can shake, no tide can move,
The One who built His house with love.
In Christ alone, our lives are laid,
The sure foundation God has made.

When walls collapse and dreams take flight,
His strength remains, His truth is light.
Our faith is anchored, hearts made whole,
For Jesus is the Builder’s goal.

The stone once cast aside in scorn,
Now crowns the arch, new life reborn.
Through Him, the temple stands upright
The Cornerstone of grace and might.

So build your days on Him alone,
Let Christ be Lord, and Christ be known.
For life endures through every strife,
With Jesus as the Rock of life.

Eph 2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone;

Because We Are Blessed

We give not to be blessed, but because we are blessed
Not chasing reward, nor seeking a test.
Our hands are full from heaven’s own store,
So we open our hearts and give even more.

Not gold, not praise, nor a crown on our head,
But love in abundance is what we’re fed.
So we pour it out, like rain on the land,
Not out of duty, but because we can.

For grace is a river that flows through the soul,
And giving is part of making it whole.
We give not to rise, nor to impress
We give, simply, because we are blessed.

“Freely you have received; freely give.”
Matthew 10:8b

         Plant the Seed

Your job is simple, clear, and true,
To plant the seed God gave to you.
Not to change a hardened heart,
For only His Spirit can do that part.

Scatter the Word with gentle care,
Water with love, surround with prayer.
But leave the growth to Heaven’s hand,
For He alone makes fruit to stand.

Don’t trade your role, don’t cross the line,
The harvest is His, the planting is mine.
Trust the One whose plans are sure,
God’s work is perfect, steady, pure.

So plant with faith, and don’t despair,
The Gardener of souls is always there.
Do your part, then let it be
He’ll change the heart, He holds the key.

1Co 3:6  I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow.

  Our Weakness, God’s Strength

When shadows fall and strength feels small,
When burdens rise and courage stalls,
The path of weakness, worn and frail,
Leads to a God whose power prevails.

For broken hearts and trembling hands
Are met by grace that understands.
Our empty cup, His love will fill,
Our fainting steps, His sovereign will.

In weakness, pride is stripped away,
And heaven’s strength comes forth to stay.
The less of me, the more of Him,
His power shines where mine grows dim.

So boast not in what you can do,
But in the God who carries you.
Our weakness opens wide the door—
His strength is perfect, evermore.

2Co 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
