My belief in Christ helps me find relief in Christ each day,As I face the world of sin and sorrow and seek him as I pray.Each burden comes with its own set of challenges I find,The weight and worth of effort forges truth within my mind. My faith in Christ helps me find relief inContinue reading “Relief In Christ”

I dreamed of my King in priestly robes,He wore a golden crown.I tried to move closer to see his face,His head was hung down.I wondered why the King of allWould lower his eyes just so,I moved on through the crowded throngHis heart I wished to know. From a distance the crown was made of goldAsContinue reading “His Crown”

When the trials of life weigh me down, I will gladly remember him.When the covering of darkness mars my view, his light will not go dim.When the weight of the world comes crushing down, and life is simply hard,He will lift my soul from despair and through the night stand guard. When suffering and painContinue reading “Remember Him”

Short as life can sometimes seem or be,We can look into the eyes of a child,And see a light that shines more brightThe distant memory less mild. If we could see beyond our mortal eyesInto the world beyond, we would see,Far more than our minds and hearts can now imagineOf a place we want toContinue reading “There Is So Much More Than This Life”

Another year has come and gone,The bright lights have faded away.Not changing my list year after year,Has kept me unchanged, set in my way. Another year has come and gone,Life’s challenges seem to increase.New resolutions fade within days,As resolve suddenly seems to cease. Another year has come and gone,Oh, how the years have passed.Looking atContinue reading “Another Year”

The Lord has said he will help me overcome my weaknesses,I try and fail over and over again… when I try to resolve on my own.Until I realize that his grace and love cannot penetrate my heart,Unless I trust in him, and have faith in him, then my effort is known. The Lord has saidContinue reading “Weakness”

Our Father’s Love emanates through Jesus Christ his son,Whose word and justice can divide us from the Holy One.He is the divine exemplar who did clearly mark the path,His priceless sacrifice of perfect love gave all that he hath. His one desire to bridge the gap we create by our choices,When we fail to listenContinue reading “His Perfect Love”
