Sensing More Freedom

Sensing more freedom, Broken from what's past
Hindrance, lesson, Those burdens I've cast

Need not to worry, But, think on good things
From above in heart, Those joys Jesus brings

Within my times span, Due season right here
Rejoice in the LORD, For love cast out fear

So free to be me, In all there's to do
Broken together, Jesus brought me through

Together as one, From above in heart
Sensing more freedom, Every day new start

Clearing Away Thoughts

Clearing away thoughts, Of what truth therein
Learning about life, Not knowing, I've sin

Oh, LORD, forgive me, In my wicked ways
Please guide me onward, Your pathway, I pray

Cleanse my wrong thinking, Of what shouldn't be
Help me see goodness, While I'm on my knees

LORD, comfort my soul, From things that cause shame
Keep me from the harm, In Your Holy Name

Cover me, my LORD, My life, my being
Clearing away thoughts, By faith, I'm seeing

Believing We're Healed

Believing we're healed, In Jesus' Name
He bore our sickness, Long before they came

By faith, we believe, Healing is God's will
Before His Spirit, We awake, be still

Believe in Jesus, Pressing on to know
Each moment, be set, Our prayers to flow

Our hearts to receive, God's touch, being whole
Believing we're healed, Restoring my soul

Another Milestone

Another milestone, Memories that last
Recording goodness, Of things that have past

Good to look back on, While pressing ahead
Thanking, rethinking, Re reading what read

Noticing what's missing, Overlooking things
But, needing to look, See what this joy brings

In finding out more, Uncovering what's lost
History passing,  Yet, time has no cost

But, priceless in sense, Memories that last
Another milestone, On things that past

In Transformation

In transformation, Rethinking some things
What's most important, What's concerns it brings?

Delightful doings, Compassionate heart
Insist drawing you, Inward from the start

Changing your mind set, Turn away, don't waste
Time and energy, Things of bitter taste

Rewrite your story, Building on His Word
Invest in what's true, God's Word hear what's heard

Live it, walk it out, Rethinking some things
In transformation, His truth, God will bring

Thoughts keeps wondering, What might have been said

Looking to Jesus, Savior of us all
Casting care to Him, Who there as we call

Salvation Has Come

Salvation has come, He's coming again
The LORD here with us, He forgives our sins

Let's rethink our lives, Go the Jesus Way
Everything we do, Everything we say

He's our salvation, Follow after Him
In times of trouble, Our sight growing dim

He brighten our path, Showing us His way
From darkness He's lights, His mercy display

We belong to God, The price He has paid
Salvation has come, For all to be saved.

Still On The Journey

Still on the journey, Mysteries unfold
Believing the best, From what's then was told

Discovering things, Once through was long lost
So happy to find, Insight with a cost

Away with doubting, What though wasn't so
Yet searching for more, Lead from what's to know

From what was passed down, To generations
To share the stories, From generations

For what that was told, To what now has come
Still on the journey, Been pretty awesome

A Long Day It's Been

A long day it's been, On the go, going
About my doings, Not in what knowing

The needs of each day, In working each task
To complete this one, Not working too fast

Pacing each moment, To make things amend
Seeing the beauty, Not in what depends

Resting while working, As this day gone by
A long day it's been, Not asking of why

Traviling Upward

Traveling upward, On this journey road
Thinking, rethinking, Casting heavy loads

Things not to carry, Things dragging me down
Take hands off matters, Keep standing, hold ground

On God's Word made flesh, Gave His life for all
For He lives in us, A witness to the called

Wisdom comes from Him, Life's journey, we go
Traveling upward, His highway to flow

Another season, Beginning to end
Adjust to changes, Oh, how long it's been

Seasons to seasons, They come and they go
How long will it be? How long? I don't know

But, keeping in line, It's what I must do
Time and time again, I have not a clue

When things will become, The end of what's new
Another season, And pressing on through

The Best Of Christmas

The best of Christmas, Celebration not old
Memories linger, Our heart felt, joy, knows

Touched by King Jesus, Who's saving our souls
Day by day, He's here, His  glory beholds

Beauty for ashes,  In all that we'll do
He's there, yes always,  In all we go through

Whether good or bad, He guides us along
Live for His Name sake, For the weak made strong

Memories linger, Celebration not old
The best of Christmas, Our hearts felt, joy knows

Tired feeling tired, Resting on my side

Still waters, waiting, Here, O LORD, I pray

With New Beginnings

With new beginnings, The new year been birth
Singing new old songs, Peace coming to earth

Born in the Spirit, God became a Man
Clothe in righteousness, His promise will stand

Greatness of the LORD, God's gift to us all
Clothed in forgiveness, In all we should call

Upon Jesus Christ, As the LORD, Savior
Salvation a gift, Not on behavior

But, by grace, mercy, God so freely gives
With new beginnings, In Christ we can live

Doing differently, Some things to get through

Making some changes, In order to be

Keeping up to date,  Not slacking at all
Keeping in the know, While having a ball

Life is way to short, To waste every day
At a distant see, Beauty life display

Off to a good start,  With new point of view

Beginning again, On the Jesus Way

Deeper on journey, More lost in His love
Drawn by God's Son light, Shinning from above

Into my heart, life, My spirit, my all
Believing the best, Moving from the fall

And yet, still, we come, God's goodness within
Our reach; our present, For with all, we've sin

So, go about life, Upon each new day
Awaken, arise, Go the Jesus Way

Near The Finish Line

Near the finish line, Coming to a close
Looking to new year, Wondering, who's knows?

If any what's ahead? No worrying thoughts
Just rethinking life, Not what sorrow brought

But, the joy within, Put smiles on faces
Warm feeling in heart, Gone about places

Walking in the light, Of life that God's brings
Through Jesus, the Christ, Our beautiful King

Each year will await, Coming to a close
Near the finish line, Only God, He knows

Teach me Your wisdom, Lead me on to grow

God Answers Prayer

God answers prayers, In due time, His way
Been so long, we wait, Each day as we pray

Tarrying along, Hoping soon comes pass
Our ways, our prayers, From the first to last

God hears our cry, Our sorrowful heart
Our laughter, our joy, Well before we start

Such a great feeling, To know God does care
For all what we ask, As we cast our fears

Our desires, our wants, Such a great feeling
God answers prayers, Through life Health; healing

Not knowing what if, I choose not to dread

Awaiting, the wait, Along time to see
If things will soon come, Will there ever be?

Along the journey, Moving in the flow

Making decision, Oh, what should I do?
And what shall I say? Hoping to get through

To where I'm headed, For now as I say
Journey continues, Praying day by day

Time for change has come, Must continue on
Making the most of, What have thought upon

Those things that once was, No longer in sight
No more connections, Not feeling delight

Like empty inside, Not knowing what's next
Longing to press on, Not in the context

Yet, believing God, Will guide me on through
Whatever comes my way, In all, what I do

Having to adjust, To what's there to be
Time for change has come, Still more there to see

Where am I at now, Years passing me by
Seems so far away, Thoughts bringing a cry

Sadden, crushed, broken, Thinking, What about?
What would I've done? Still having some doubt

Walking more away, From the pain within
Shuttering my thoughts, But what if, I've sinned?

Repent, Rethinking, Go another way
Ponder the goodness, Of God everyday

This life's journey full, Wonder for a while,
Where am I at now? Feeling my heart smile
