IS

Is my life a better one
When I am in control
Calling You as substitute
When all around me falls
Am I very ignorant
To disregard Your part
Knowing that my apathy
Is breaking Your sweet heart

Does my love of worldly ways
Prevent my growth with You
All Your treasures lay unclaimed
Cause poverty I view
If only I would seek the truth
And take You at Your word
Give the world of satan up
But that would be absurd

So as I wander on the path
To ruinous conclusion
No matter what You try to do
I revel in confusion
I do not want to share myself
With others of Your ilk
Prefer to hide behind my mask
Continue lapping milk.

JESUS

For years Ive searched
For perfect ways
To reach Your throne of grace
Ive strived and strained
Read loads of books
So I would see Your face
The bibles, I have plenty
All kinds of different versions
But everything is easier
Than long, drawn out, excursions.

My prayer life, just like a list
Expounded every morning
You knew the way that they would go
You must have found them boring
My formula was oh so good
I thought they reached the parts
Just like the beer, they brought You cheer
Like fiery little darts.

But now I have the notion
That I must try much harder
Cast off my jacket that is straight
Start filling up the larder
Bible study is a must
So You I get to know
I need a deep relationship
So that our love will grow.

ETERNAL MAGNET

Eternal magnet, strong to save

Please come quickly to my cave

Draw me gently  from my hide

Where I love to sit and bide

Running thoughts across my mind

Some are sinful , some are kind

Battles raging in my head

Mulling over sores that bled

Soothe my injured, battered soul

Tip it in Your mixing bowl

Break it down and add Your Love

Fit my hand into Your glove

Place me back upon the road

Ease this self inflicted load

Dust me off and set my sight

Upon Your ever guiding light.

SPECK

SPECK

We are but a tiny speck
Among the billions that partake
Upon this tarnished,broken earth
That was created for our sake
A perfect balance was achieved
And everyone was satisfied
Until the devils army rose
To open up a chasm wide.

We are still a tiny speck
One that’s full of power and might
Glowing beacons in the dark
Bringing sunshine to the night
He will come to claim His own
Expecting everyone to hear
The name of Jesus proudly borne
To those who live in constant fear.

So be a Saviour to the ones
Who live and work with you
Let them see the difference
A Christian point of view
You are their only bridge to God
Perhaps they need His aid
To help them change their futile lives
And reap the price He paid.

SALVATION

Whatever is your past experience
Whether perfect,good or bad
There is good news round the corner
There’s salvation to be had
Stop and think of all the heartache
That you’ve caused throughout your life
It is time to turn and face it
Time to end internal strife.

He is knocking,oh so gently
Open up and let Him in
Say that you are really sorry
That you’re going to live for Him
Then you’ll find a transformation
Taking place inside your heart
Changing into what he made you
Loving child who’s set apart.

JOURNEY

You start the journey on a high
The Spirit fires your soul
And everything is wonderful
As you head for your goal
But soon your wings run out of wind
You plummet to the ground
The airy, fairy, Christian walk
Is nowhere to be found.

The desert walk begins it’s trudge
You have to be refined
And every major, sinful smudge
Is magnified, you’ll find
But cling on tightly to His hand
And He will lead you through
The minefield that is Christian life
The one that’s meant for you.

EVERYTHING

Just  to  be  with  me, You  gave  everything
To  be  like  me, You  came  to  earth
You  lived  my  life  among  humanity
And  no  one  gave  You  worth
You  suffered  greatly  at  the  hands
Of  those  You  came  to  save
And  then  collecting  all  our  sins
You  took  them  to  the  grave.

Defeating  death  and  satans  grip
You  rose  to  set  me  free
From  all  the  shackles  of  this  earth
And  all  infirmity
So  that  You  could  be  with  me
And  call  me, dearest  friend
I  am  Your  special  chosen  one
Eternally , Amen.

PRECIOUS

You are wondrous, you are precious
Everything that you should be
I look past your sinful nature
Jesus claimed you on the tree
Maybe you are feeling anxious
Wandered off the narrow road
Do not let the lies defeat you
Come to Me and share your load.

I have things that I need doing
Only you can do your part
Let My Spirit overcome you
Place My strength into your heart
Time is counting down so fast
There’s many who have never heard
About the love that I have for them
Come and spread My precious Word.

KNOCKING

Someones knocking at your door
He’s been standing there for years
Hoping that you’ll let Him in
Fighting to control His tears
Because His love for you is vast
He died a dreadful death to give
A chance for you to choose a life
That was designed for you to live.

So look around you, what’s so great
About the world you dwell within
Full of darkness, shame and hate
Submerged inside a pit of sin
He’s the answer to your need
You’ll be changed into a child
Who loves his brother, knows his fate
Cherished, loved and undefiled.

HOW

How can I tell You how good I feel
Knowing that my walk with You is real
No longer having to strive and strain
I can relax in Your cleansing rain
Washing me daily of worldly grime
Arms reaching out for that special time
Spent with One who has given all
My strong support whenever I fall
Oh how I long to see Your face
Full of compassion, clothed in grace
You are the One who is worth it all
I patiently await Your call
Cleanse me deeply from within
All the things that cause my sin
Jettison and make me whole
Prepare me for Your heavenly role.
