I Will Praise Him

I will praise Him.

I’ll praise His name

For He’s worthy of praise,

The only worth of praise.

Glory,

Glory to God.

All of it’s His

And none of it mine.

He’s due glory

Glory to God.

Yes all glory’s His

And none of it mine.

How He loves me,

He loves me unending.

He loves me,

He draws me to Him.

I will trust Him,

Trust in the Savior,

The One who does save

The One who sustains.

Yes, I’ll trust Him,

Trust Him and love Him,

And I’ll praise Him

For all glory is His.

And when life is mean

And I’m down in a valley,

He’s still my God

And He’ll draw me to Him.

Yes, He draws me

Oh, how He loves me.

He draws me

To be close to Him.

So I will praise Him.

I’ll praise His name

For He’s worthy of praise,

The only worth of praise.

What It Means to be a Pregnancy Help Center Volunteer

It means welcoming in real people with a warm smile and friendly tone when they may live in a very cold and hateful world.

It means loving unconditionally when women are used to putting up walls, afraid of being judged.

It means speaking the truth in love, smiling inside as you hear words coming from your mouth, knowing the Holy Spirit is bringing them forth.

It means offering a tissue as a hard heart breaks from the love and conviction of that Spirit.

It means sharing the truth even when it is hard because maybe nobody else will.

It means smiling as you see life on an ultrasound screen and that first glimpse of a young mother’s love for her unborn child.

It means sometimes you really get through to them, and sometimes you really don’t feel like you did, but knowing that the Lord is in control and you never know what seeds you planted.

It means trusting God for divine appointment and praising Him for keeping the doors open.

It means fellowship with Godly women, serving Jesus together.

It means that someone who was once a stranger when seen in town now smiles warmly at you, feels connected to you, and shares with others how you were the one that told them they were having their child now toddling beside Mommy.

It means doing something to make a difference for eternity, and that is A BIG DEAL!

Every Day for Christ

I forgot to post my Christmas poem for 2011. Here it is:

Every Day for Christ

“Let’s keep Christ in Christmas”

Is often heard this time of year,

But let’s keep Christ in every day

In every hour of every day.

For if we truly believe that Jesus came

If it’s not just a story we tell,

Then our lives are changed

By His death on a cross.

Our hearts have been changed.

Our debts have been forgiven.

Christ Jesus has risen,

And for that we owe all.

We can live now in freedom,

No longer slaves to our sin.

Praise Jesus! Praise Jesus!

All praise is due to Christ!

So say “Merry Christmas”

And think of the manger,

But don’t stop there,

Think of the cross.

Think of the love.

Think of the gift.

Think of the empty grave.

And every day, keep it for Christ

And bring glory to His name.

May you have a very Merry Christmas and a new year

blessed with grace and peace in Christ Jesus our Lord.

My God is Big!

Big, Big, Big, my God is Big!

And Good.  He is so Good!

Even when everything seems to be falling apart,

He’s holding it together and working it for good

Because He is Good!

And Merciful!  God is full of mercy!

When things look really bad,

He gives mercy and shows how much He cares!

And full of Grace!  Amazing Grace!

Oh, to think about what we deserve…

But He gives us grace.  Wow!

And Holy.  Holy, Holy, Holy!

Perfect and Pure and Holy!

And He calls us to be holy as He is holy!

And Powerful! There’s nothing beyond Him!

And All-knowing! There’s nothing that takes Him by surprise!

And Everywhere! He is everywhere and without the restraints of time!

He is God!  And there is no other!

And He is Savior!  Saving His people for His glory!

And then letting them be a part of more saving!

How cool is that? He makes us a part of His master plan!

Oh yeah, my God is Big!  Praise Him!

Born Into Heaven

Born into heaven

But made a difference on Earth.

Isn’t it amazing

How God works?

We hurt and we cry.

We mourn that he died,

But isn’t it amazing

How God works?

God knit him together

In His mother’s womb.

He made him special

So glory he’d bring.

Glory, glory,

It’s all for God’s glory.

Isn’t it amazing

How God works?

Joshua means

That God saves,

And He’s still in the saving business.

And by God’s grace

Joshua now brings Him praise

As he stands at the throne of the Savior.

And souls here on Earth

Are turned toward the Lord

All because of a baby.

Isn’t it amazing

How God works?
