HERE TO STAY

HERE TO STAY

 

Jesus my Savior

What You went through

You did it for me

With a love so true

 

As I read Your word

You feel so near

Your words come alive

Like You’re right here

 

I couldn’t imagine

A day without You

To deal with this life

I wouldn’t have a clue

 

Some days may be hard

But then I pray

It’s then You remind me

You’re here to stay

 

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,

And delivers them out of all their troubles.

PSALM 34:17

 

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled

Himself and became obedient to the point of

death, even the death of the cross.

PHILIPPIANS 2:8

 

⁵ Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content

with such things as you have. For He Himself has said,

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

HEBREWS 13:5     

THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS

THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS

 

For the sins of the people

Judgment will come

It will fall on all

Not just some

 

Parts will get floods

Others no rain

And there’ll be droughts

And hurricanes

 

For the Day of the Lord

The earth groans and shakes

These are the beginning of sorrows

Bringing great earthquakes

 

Know God’s children

This they’ll not face

For when this happens

They’ll be safe in His place

 

Then come God’s wrath

After these sorrows

If you don’t know Jesus

There’ll be no tomorrows

 

⁷ For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom

against kingdom. And there will be famines,

pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows.

MATTHEW 24:7-8    

 

and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He

raised from the dead,  even Jesus who

delivers us from the wrath to come.

1 THESSALONIANS 1:10      

 

And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be

saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.

MATTHEW 24:22    

IF YOU LOVE

IF YOU LOVE

 

One new commandment

That’s all Jesus gave

To love each other

That’s how to behave

 

They claim to be Christian

But only loved their own

For the rest of God’s children

No love they’ve shown

 

They’ll say may God bless you

When there’s such a need

But to lend a helping hand

They won’t intercede

 

For it was Jesus they refused

To lend Him a hand

God’s love was not there

As they ignored His command

 

³⁴ A new commandment I give to you, that you

love one another; as I have loved you,

that you also love one another.

JOHN 13:34

 

¹⁷ But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees

his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him,

how does the love of God abide in him?

1 JOHN 3:17

 

⁴⁵ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly,

I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one

of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

MATTHEW 25:45

MY HOPE IS

MY HOPE IS

 

Come Lord Jesus

Is my prayer

That where You are

You’ll take us there

 

In a few weeks

It will be one year

God I don’t know

How I got here

 

I’m stuck in a void

It’s like time doesn’t exist

These feeling of loneliness

Continues to persist

 

It’s only for you Lord

I look for tomorrow

I know in my heart

You carry my sorrow

 

I know Your time is coming

So I’ll watch and pray

But You know my hope is

You’ll come today

 

²² Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you. He shall

never permit the righteous to be moved.

PSALM 55:22      

 

Take heed, watch and pray;

for you do not know when the time is.

MARK 13:33

 

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing

of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

TITUS 2:13     

THEY TAKE

THEY TAKE

 

They turned from God

For the things they lust for

They’ve turned to the government

Free stuff they can score

 

So they don’t want to work

For what they need

They scream they’re entitled

With their self-centered greed

 

The things of this life

Are what they lust for

But they don’t want to work

It’s to much of a chore

 

So they take from others

And for that they will pay

When they stand before Him

On Judgment-day

 

For all of God’s children

They have always known

That’s why they work

To take care of their own

 

⁸ nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge,

but worked with labor and toil night and day, that

we might not be a burden to any of you,

2 THESSALONIANS 3:8

 

¹⁰ For even when we were with you, we commanded you this:

If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. ¹¹ For we hear that

there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner,

not working at all, but are busybodies. ¹² Now those who are

such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ

that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

2 THESSALONIANS 3:10-12

 

⁸ But if anyone does not provide for his own, and

especially for those of his household, he has denied

the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

1 TIMOTHY 5:8      

HIS LOVE AND CARE

HIS LOVE AND CARE

 

Jesus bless me

With your grace

Come and fill

This empty space

 

I know I can’t

Make it on my own

But I know with you

I’m never alone

 

You’re the only one

I know I can trust

This new life I have

You’ll help me adjust

 

Everyday now Lord

I come to you

For it’s only you Jesus

That can see me through

 

You’re the only one

Who’s always there

With You I’ll always have

Your love and care

 

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

My God, my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield

and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

PSALM 18:2

 

⁵ Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
⁶ In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

PROVERBS 3:5-6     

 

⁷ casting all your care upon Him,

for He cares for you.

1 PETER 5:7

ALWAYS IN MY THROUGHTS

ALWAYS IN MY THROUGHTS

 

Another day of crying

It seems so unreal

I just don’t know if

My broken heart can heal

 

I miss him everyday

He’s always in my thoughts

But knowing I can’t touch him

Comes feeling of distraught

 

It’s Jesus we need to cling to

To get us through the day

Only He can give us peace

And hold us when we pray

 

His Spirit intercedes for us

Through the crying moans and groans

He knows what we can’t express

All to Him is known

 

Jesus said He’s coming back

It’s the day I’m waiting for

Then all the broken hearts will be

Healed forevermore

 

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.

PSALM 34:17

 

²⁶ Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses.

For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought,

but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us

with groanings which cannot be uttered.

ROMANS 8:26

HEAR HIS CALL

HEAR HIS CALL

 

When Jesus appears

His bride hears His call

Knowing God has prepared

The great wedding hall

 

To heaven we’ll go

In a blink of an eye

When we hear Him call

To His side we’ll fly

 

For where He is

He said you will be too

There are many mansions

One for all of you

 

What joy fills our hearts

For our loved ones we’ll see

We’ll all stand next to Jesus

For all eternity

 

In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so,

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

JOHN 14:2

 

Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are

called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said

to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”

REVELATION 19:9

FOREVERMORE

FOREVERMORE

 

People ask how I am

My mind just goes blank

I don’t know how to answer

So I guess I’ll just be frank

 

When it comes to death

You’ll find your true friends

You can count them on one hand

On those you can depend

 

For most of my days

The loneliness over whelms

This life no longer seems real

It’s like living in a different realm

 

I feel like I’m just existing

Our two dogs are helping me through

Then there’s His promise I hold

Jesus said I’m never leaving you

 

He also said He’s coming back

That’s what I’m waiting for

To be with Him and loved ones

Together forevermore

 

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am

your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you,

I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

ISAIAH 41:10

 

[ The Heavenly Hope ] These all died in faith,

not having received the promises, but having

seen them afar off were assured of them,

embraced them and confessed that they

were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

HEBREWS 11:13

MY LOVE

MY LOVE

 

It was just my love and I

Climbing the stairs of life

Half way there was a platform

To rest from life’s strife

 

As we continued to climb

We went hand in hand

The stairs began to get steeper

So narrow I couldn’t stand

 

I became so fearful

My love said you go back

Down to the platform to wait

While I finished this task

 

I sit looking out a window

Watching life go by

My love never came back

Now here I sit and cry

 

I’m stuck between life and death

Our earthly dreams are gone

I haven’t been doing well

To be with him I long

 

God said I’ll get you up those stairs

But today is not your day

He said you just take my hand

And I’ll guide you on your way

 

This month its been one year

But it feel like yesterday

Feeling this loss and pain

All I can do is pray

 

The times I do go out

I hide it oh so well

This pain that I am suffering

No one could ever tell

 

I hold on to God’s promise

My love one day I’ll see

Then we’ll be together

With Jesus for all eternity

 

For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore,

for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.

PSALM 31:3

 

Most assuredly, I say to you,

he who believes in Me has everlasting life.

JOHN 6:47

 

for so an entrance will be supplied to you

abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of

our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2 PETER 1:11

 

BEFORE I LEAVE

BEFORE  I  LEAVE

 

Warren left on his trip

And he’s waiting for me

But there are things I must do

Before I can leave

 

They are turning from God

There is hatred everywhere

When it come to human life

You can see they don’t care

 

For God’s work I must do

This planting of seeds

To spread the gospel of Jesus

When there’s such a need

 

They’ll know the reason why

When they see us all leave

For the call for this trip

They didn’t receive

 

It was God or Satan

You choose the wrong side

Now you’ll see the truth

There will be nowhere to hide

 

And this gospel of the kingdom will be

Preached in all the world as a witness to all

the nations, and then the end will come.

MATTHEW 24:14

 

Now he who plants and he who waters

are one, and each one will receive his own

reward according to his own labor.

1 CORINTHIANS 3:8

 

16 and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall

On us and hide us from the face of Him who

Sits on the throne and from the wrath of

the Lamb! 17 For the great day of His wrath

has come, and who is able to stand?”

REVELATION 6:16-17

LOVE LIVES ON

LOVE  LIVES  ON

 

My love is in heaven

But we are still one

We are joined forever

Through God’s only Son

 

On the day we married

God said two flesh become one

With the vows we made

Our new life had begun

 

Then on that faithful day

God said come to me

He sent His Holy Spirit

So with Him we’ll always be

 

So living on earth or in heaven

Our love will live on

For our spirits are still joined

Through Jesus God’s Son

 

and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his

father and mother and be joined to his wife,

and the two shall become one flesh’?

MATTHEW 19:5

 

At that day you will know that

I am in My Father,

and you in Me, and I in you.

JOHN 14:20

I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN

I’LL SEE YOU AGAIN

 

Together forever

Jesus, Warren and me

Our spirits are joined

And will always be

 

Nothing in heaven or on earth

Can separate our love

Joined forever with Jesus

God’s perfect gift from above

 

Jesus knows that I’m broken

Tears flow from my heart

But deep in my spirit

I know we’re never apart

 

Jesus said He’d come

I know the time is near

I’ll see my love again

The day Jesus does appear

 

But he who is joined to the Lord

is one spirit with Him.

1 CORINTHIANS 6:17

 

You also be patient. Establish your hearts,

for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

JAMES 5:8
