Three days are all that matters

    as far as I can see.

Three days can be seen clearly

    by weak, forgetful me.

Yesterday I made mistakes

    which God's true love forgave –

Because I trust Jesus' Blood

    to purify and save.

Today has started badly

    I let God down again.

My heart broke. ..then He forgave

   and Healed all of my pain.

So I'll smile at the world

   wherever I may go.

I'll share the love of Jesus

  with those folk feeling low.

 

 

 

When I’m feeling frustrated, or

   fear is surrounding me. –

I recall Jesus is able

   to calm each restless sea.

I ask Him to take my problems –

   to replace them with His Peace.

I concentrate on Him alone

   ‘til turbulent waves cease/

I look above the whirlpool

   of frustration and despair –

Knowing the One who died for me

   has me safe in His care.

I think that I would like a god

   I could manipulate.

One who'd let me stay as I am

   in my .sin-sodden state.

One who'd turn a blind eye

   when I refused to do his will.

One who'd give my every desire –

   make life an endless thrill.

And yet. .I don't believe, deep down

   a life would satisfy –

If God could be dominated

   by such a one as I.

So I think I will change my mind –

   acknowledge Christ my King –

Then try to do His Will for me

   whatever life may bring. 

 

 

 

 

Christ Jesus said "Love your neighbour" .

    He should meet mine! Even once!

One finds fault with al I do,

   one's a prig and one's a dunce-

One swears and awful lot, and

   there's one who never seems to wash!

He surely couldn't mean -I hope -

   those who think they're really posh.

You've discovered He's not joking?

   He has met them many a time!

He's concerned about my language

   and that I'm not always kind!

They are on the road to Heaven?

   They have repented all Sin?

They're trusting Blood Christ Jesus shed?

   He is now their Lord and King!

Well, I'll tell you they're not perfect –

   they do wrong things all the time. .

I wonder. .as God forgives them –

   will He forgive sins of mine?

When many problems pile round me

   filling every place in sight –

It’s far too easy to forget

   God’s Authority and Might.

And so, at all such times, I pray

   for Jesus’ Faith to see –

Not difficulties great and small

   but God’s Strength surrounding me.

 

 

 

 

The Lord God looked into my mind.

   I thought of the good tings He'd find –

But then I caught sight of His Face -

   and realised I’d slipped from grace.

For He'd seen all those 'little' things –

that I do not regard as Sins.

Unnecessarily sharp words -

   that wounded somebody who beard –

The loving deeds left undone .

   the selfish things that I’d thought fun

My repentance, in a short while

   changed my Lord God's frown into a             

                                                          smile.

 I didn't know following Jesus

   could mean life of hardship or pain –

Didn't think that to be His disciple

   could mean worldly loss and not gain

I tried to say things that were loving –

   were helpful, were true and were kind

I gave away Gifts that God gave me –

   tried to smile when hit from behind .

I'd thought Christians forgave and forgot

   all disagreements and mistakes –

But I found some of them can do things

   for their own, and no1 Jesus' sake

My Lord held me close and gently said

  "I've let you be hurt so you'll see –

There's no one on earth can be trusted. 

   The One to rely on is Me "

 

 

 

 

Will God make available

   power l do not use?

Will He give strength every day

   if that strength I abuse ?

Will He give Grace to suffer

   if don't go His Way –

Or power for holiness

   if I do not obey?

Will He give strength for Service?

   Will He give power in prayer -

If my life doesn't worship Him

   each moment – everywhere?

Does God's Peace rule in my heart

   or does it elude me?

When I'm not living His Way

    there's no tranquility.

When thoughts are like a whirlpool

   of currents that are strong –

I go to Him and admit

   He's right and I am wrong.

Then a Peace quite amazing –

   God's bounteous Gift of Grace –

Will banish my whirling thoughts

   and come to take, their place.

 

 

 

  

We were Born Again for Battle - 

   endless battles against Sin.

Not just to get God's Blessings and

   forgiveness and Peace from Him.

From us, God expects purity

   and obedience to His Voice.

We're not to weigh the pro's and con's

   and then decide our choice.

Too often I have not fulfilled

   my God-given destiny.

If you, also, are not perfect

   will you turn from sin with me?
