2-6-16 Advocate

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

Proverbs 31:8 KJV

~~~~~~~~~~~

Much more these days are those who have no voice;

They can’t defend themselves against their doom.

Defenseless, fragile souls without a choice,

A gift of God within their mother’s womb.

It doesn’t matter how they came to be,

These innocent and tender hosts of life.

They can’t be blamed for being; why do we

Think we’re a judge and jury with a knife?

Speak out for those who cannot vocalize!

If you are pregnant, let the baby live!

There is a woman somewhere who would prize

The chance to be a mother, love and give.

Your words can make a difference starting here.

A life depends on you, so persevere!

~~~~~~~~~~~

REMEMBER: You are here because your mother chose life.

2-1-14 Children of God

Although we came from parents in the flesh

In truth we are creations, orphan-born;

As mortal beings, while we breathe we’re fresh

But then we die and turn to dust to mourn.

Yet Jesus came and set the record straight:

He took our sins and on the cross He died;

He died for you and me, both small and great

Returning three days later to abide.

If we have faith in Jesus Christ as King

Believing fast that He’s our Savior dear,

We are adopted by our God to sing

As children bound for Heaven now so near.

By faith in Jesus, God’s our Father now.

By faith we walk like Christ; He’ll show us how.

~~~~~~~~~~~

For you are all the children of God

by faith in Jesus Christ.

Galatians 3:26 KJV

1-19-15 In Spirit and in Truth

The very essence of our Father Is

Perfection both in spirit and in truth

And all that’s holy and divine is His,

Defies in understanding sage or sleuth.

God Is a Spirit and The Spirit’s God,

Then uncompounded, indivisible.

In spirit you must worship, and thus awed

Commune with Him, who is immutable.

In truth you also worship God the same,

For He is Truth eternal through and through,

And in the spirit truth you must proclaim,

Created in His image, Being too.

Approach the Lord in Spirit and be true

And you will know the Father’s will for you.

~~~~~~~~~~~

God is a Spirit:

and they that worship him

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 4:24 KJV

10-7-14 Thank God

Our Father, God of Heaven and the Earth,

You are the one we turn to all the time;

You know our faults and strength, You know our worth,

You view our lowly state and ev’ry crime.

Please give us Your advice with ev’ry stride;

Impart Your wisdom given readily.

There is no place to run, nowhere to hide

Your Being’s all around so steadily.

We follow in the footsteps of Your Son;

Give us the nerve to share His death and life.

You loved us all so much you sent the One

To shed His blood for all our sin so rife.

O God, we worship and acknowledge You;

Help us to not forget all that You do.

 ~~~~~

In all thy ways acknowledge him,

and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:6 KJV

HALLELUJAH!

Let ev’rything within you praise the Lord!

Lift up your voice and worship Him with song!

The universe will join with one accord,

Until the stars themselves can sing along!

Thank God for giving you His constant grace,

Then fill your lungs with air and shout with glee!

Your love for Him will shine upon your face;

Your feet will want to dance, so set them free!

The atoms of your being spin and sing!

Let love ignite the passion of your sound,

As all that is within you call Him King

And joy shouts HALLELUJAH all around!

Make melody and sing with all you’ve got

And praise the Lord for all that He has wrought!

I will sing and make melody with all my being!

Psalm 108:1 ESV
