Forgive Them

With sinners he kept company

He so desired to set them free
Multiplied a few loaves and fish
Yet he was betrayed with a kiss

This ridiculed and despised man

Was cussed and lashed by demons
Trembled in fear hearing his name
He cured the sick; restored the lame

Commanded darkened eyes to see

Yet they accused him of blasphemy
He was wronged and never rebelled
As all the evil spirits in hell trembled

Speaking only of peace and renewal

Of forgiveness of sin never accusing

Before a judge that washed his hands

Free of the blood of this innocent man

Beaten until his bones were exposed

His blood gushed out from head to toe
On his shoulder they hooked the cross
Staggering he atoned sins of the lost

 

His hands nailed and arms spread wide

Raised up between thieves at each side
He uttered the words of our salvific truth
Forgive them they know not what they do
 

Everlasting Embrace

 

You can see it in their eyes

The pain is all so overwhelming

Making a choice to end a life

Now the cross is never ending

You can't turn back the hands of time

But you can live; you can love.....life!

There is promise in the future

Healing is the answer with grace

Faith will lead you to the cure

One day to see the child's face

You can't turn back the hands of time

But you can live; you can love.....life!

Hope is alive through God's mercy

One day every tear will go away

Every eye will behold the beauty

Of the babe's everlasting embrace

You can't turn back the hands of time

But you can live; you can love.....life!

Mercy forgives, so live, so love.....life!

The Miracle of Life

A bitter sweet morning as I open my eyes

The day is dawning; the sun begins to rise

A blessed day for the celebration of life

Thank you Father...so powerful and wise

Seems like yesterday that my son was born

I often wonder where all the time has gone

Counting my blessings helps me day by day

Now more than ever while he is so far away

Words could never express how proud I am

To be the father of this special young man

Thank you Father for this awesome grace

For the miracle of life on this special day

Though this day will be a bitter sweet one

I shout out a happy birthday to my son

Thank you Father...so powerful and wise

Thank you Father...for the miracle of life!

The Mighty Pillar Of Truth

Reaching high; standing tall

Divinely solidified to the core
Just as grains of sifted sand
Fused with the Mighty hand

Bearing the elements stress

Wearing down youthfulness
Though the surface is worn
The interior remains strong

Set in place on solid ground

Where forces unseen abound
Resting on a firm foundation
The bearing point of salvation

At times requiring restoration

When all things are made new

We will stand forever upright

With the Mighty Pillar of Truth

Fire in the Word

 

It all seemed real

Was I dreaming

This beautiful sight

Truly revealing

Hearing great joy

A voice within

So overwhelming

My soul burning

There was fire in the word

The flames surrounding me

Those voices that I heard

An endless angelic melody

The awesome power

The blinding light

The peaceful feeling

The awesome might

It all made sense

It was all so real

The fiery dance

His truth revealed

There was fire in the word

The flames surrounding me

Those voices that I heard

An endless angelic melody

There was fire in the Word

Setting the captives free

Embers of cleansed souls

Rising up to reign with Thee

It was all so real, so so real

It was all so real...I believe!
