Does the load of sin you carry,

Have you bowed down to the ground?

Is your mind full of questions,

Yet the answers can't be found?

You won't find the peace you're seeking,

In a bottle or a bar.

Jesus can fill your empty vessel!

He will come to where you are.

Do you often feel discouraged,

And it seems that there's no end?

Do you contemplate how much you'd give,

For just one true and faithful friend?

You want to change your life.

But, satan says you've gone too far.

If you can't get to Jesus my friend,

He will come to where you are!

Jesus will come to where you are,

At morning, noon, or night!

He will pick up the pieces of your life,

And make everything just right!

Although sin is devastating,

And it leaves a lasting scar,

Jesus, the Great Physician,

Will come to where you are!

“What would Jesus do?”


I’ve often heard folks say.


Well, I believe that question,


Is relative to today.


While attending a ball game,


Would Jesus have a beer?


When His favorite team scored,


Would Jesus stand and cheer?


Would Jesus enjoy a good cigar?


Would He blow tiny ringlets of smoke?


Would Jesus laugh with glee,


When somebody told a dirty joke?


Would Jesus just walk on by,


The homeless on the street?


Would He look the other way,


If a beggar He chanced to meet?


Would Jesus watch a video?


Would He have a favorite T.V. show?


Would He absent Himself from God’s house,


Saying He had some place else to go?


Friend, I’m quick to answer,


With a heart full of love,


I believe my Lord and Saviour,


Would do none of the above

Jesus Gave Me Hope


I don’t know what you’re going through.

But, I wanted you to know,

I’ve struggled through some hard times too,

When tears began to flow.

It was then I called on Jesus’ name,

During a time I could not cope.

And my circumstance was not the same,

For Jesus gave me hope!

He said, “My child come unto me,”

“And I will give you rest!”

“Just have faith and you will see,”

“I’ll help you stand the test!”

His voice then calmed life’s troubled sea!

The billows ceased to roll!

A wonderful peace came over me,

As great joy filled my soul!

Now I’ve learned to trust in Him,

No matter, come what may!

And though life’s path is often dim,

He’ll guide me all the way!

"Just plant me here in the place of my birth,"

Said the old time preacher man!

"Let my body slowly rejoin the earth,"

"'Tis God's unique recycling plan!"

"But, know ye that when all is said and done,"

"My soul will have taken it's flight,"

And I'll be rejoicing with God's Son,"

"In that beautiful city of light!"

"You see, I'm a child of a Heavenly King,"

Having been adopted through God's grace!"

"I'm going where heavenly angels sing,"

"In that wonderful, marvelous place!"

"Oh, what's that sounding on my ear?"

Voices fill the heavenly dome!

"I know for certain I can hear,"

"Angels singing, welcome home!"

"So friend, don't weep for me,"

"Just remember where I've gone!"

"That celestial city you too shall see,

If you'll just journey on!
