Wonder of Creations
When I see the wonder of the Creation;
I tremble to think of a Creator so Great.
When I perceive the endless Patience
Of my Lord; His Grace I cannot rate.
When I am lonely and grieved;
I know He Loves the Disconsolate.
When I consider the Promise He made;
For the new Kingdom, I cannot wait.
Night and Day
Who's to say
When dark, it's night
It's day, when light.
2 Billion or Six?
We are in a mix.
Was it counted by the setting sun?
Where our Creator is, there has been
not one!
A captive in the land of the unseen,
He realised, then, what had been told him.
How man may try to live his life clean
But be completely covered in sin.
But far away in the land he had conquered:
He saw a small shining light.
It was a sign of hope for him
Yet, how to get to that light so bright?
He's fellow citizens did tell him about a "bridge"
For all whose souls are yearning,
Was through prayers of the true and faithful,
Dear brother is your beacon light burning?
Let me be the one to decide my life
Let me be the one to attain what I love
Amongst the people of this world confusion is rife
So I govern my life according to the "One Above."
If others should decide the things I do
Then "real friends" I'd have, would be so few
For then I wouldn't have to be in any of life's quarrels
Because I would have no principals or morals.
Let us rejoice and give thanks unto the Lord
Let our voices loud in heav'n be ringing.
For our Lord and Father who from heaven,
Blessings in abundance now is bringing.
He sent his son our Saviour to redeem us,
To elevate us from this world of sin.
So we invite into our hearts and ask him:
"Dear Father make thy dwelling, Lord come in."
Lord God and Gracious Father, King of all creation.
Who offers love and grace, On earth to every nation.
Thy only Son was sent, Whose death and resurrection
Opened the door where we’ll be, Moulded to perfection.
Teach us Thy way dear Father, Show us how to follow
Thy servants leading us, Out of this land of sorrow.
Keep us upon the narrow way, To our salvation.
So we’ll be taken as the, Bridal congregation.
Our dear heavenly Father, grant peace and grace today;
Refreshment from Thine altar, within our souls do lay.
We want to overcome, the lust for earthly things
So that we desire more, for the bread that Thy Spirit brings.
Make us always alert, that this blessing we do not lose;
But allow Thine hand of grace, to mould us as Thou should choose.
We strive from day to day, like Jesus Christ to be;
So at the marriage of the Lamb, we will our Saviour see.
Is it valid what you shewed me
That life is not what meets the eye.
It was said "To be or not to be"
But what happens in eternity.
We toil and labour every day
Trying to find another way
But while upon the earth we stay,
Let us speak out loud, what we have to say.
My life unfolds before my eyes
And I see what words were filled with lies.
I see how fluently the eagle flies
But shall we e'er soar above the skies.
first stanza from 1 Timothy
4:12
Let no man despise your youth;
But be an example of the believers,
In word, in conversation, in charity,
In spirit, in faith, in purity.
Remain in the first love of which you were shown
And know that with God you are never alone.
Lift up your heads and keep your eyes on the goal
While our Father completes his work on your soul.
Don't let satan convince you into dispute,
But give to the Master the best of your youth.
Let your mouths speak to men the Gospel of Truth,
Let no man despise your youth.
