Beyond Your Expectations

Don’t allow complacency to keep you in mediocracy

Don’t get comfortable and let life pass you by

Doing nothing but dreaming what you could have been as you look up in the sky

You affect the future by what you do this day

 Get up and move, take a chance and see what God has for you today

Despite your circumstances, don’t just dream but expand your vision

Get up and move, glorify God, get out of your prison

Center yourself around God’s glorious Word and find yourself blessed beyond your expectations.

He will fill you with strength and courage beyond your imaginations

Let Him guard you and keep you in perfect peace

The more you let Him work through you, the more your complacency will cease

You don’t need to be strong on your own because His power is made perfect in our weakness

Don’t be proud and walk above the crowd, walk among them in humility and meekness

Doing all this you will find life will be a success

You will find it will be beyond wonderful even through life’s tribulations and stress

Be thankful to the Lord sing praises unto His name

Praise Him for everything and be thankful that He loved and came

Present your body, a living sacrifice which is our reasonable service

Remember why we are weak, He is strong, so don’t be so nervous

God will give you the gifts that will accomplish His purpose in you

If you are His child, those gifts will be given to you too

A New Hope

There is gloom and despair all over the earth

But there is hope, God sent His Son down and gave Him a human birth

People without hope become involved in sin and despair

They commit murder and adultery, lie ,cheat, and steel, with no hope, they don’t care

When there is not hope, there is no will to live

Looking down in their darkness, they feel they have nothing good to give

We must not look down, but always look up.  Remember Jesus already took your cup

Jesus brings hope to the heart of all who trust and receive

Read His Word and take it into your life and believe, believe, believe

Don’t look down, look up to Him and make your future bright

He will give you a new sense of hope when you live in His light

So, sing oh heavens and be joyful oh earth

Jesus has come and given this troubled world a new birth

         From Promise to Promise

In the old days when God was found

You dropped to your knees and looked down

Then one-day Mary conceived her blessed son

The old days were finished, and the new days had begun

Many still drop to their knees

But now most don’t look down

They look up to the heavens giving thanks making a glorious sound

That baby grew up and showed mankind God’s way

Most didn’t listen to Him and the world continued its decay

His love was so strong he took all our sins to the cross

He paid our price and those sins became our loss

When he died, they put Him in a cave

Three days later he arose from His grave

He appeared to many for 40 days and 40 nights

Then he rose into the heavens out of our sight

Now if you believe in what Jesus did

He will never ever be hid

He will be with you and be in you

From the inside He will make you new
