His Loving Discipline Our Loving Fear

The eye of the Lord is upon all who fear Him

He sees everything, His light is never dim

A loving fear that needs to last until our final breathe

For them that fear Him, His mercy delivers their soul from death

He will supply all our needs and that includes the discipline we need for our good

Even if I try hard not to sin, I know that at any time I could

He disciplines us also in a loving way, for only He knows what is best

I might not understand at the time, but I trust He loves me and am being blessed

The Lord is my strength and my shield

Upon the prompting of His Holy Spirit, I try always to yield

But sometimes without thinking I run out into the street after my ball

My emotions overtake me and I ignore my Father’s loving call

So, I am so glad He instructs me in the way I should go

For without His loving discipline it would be dangerous for me to grow

He Is For Us

The gospel of your salvation brings about the revelation

Which is Christ in you the hope of glory

It takes you out of yourself and puts you in His story

You will be clothed with the garments of salvation and a robe of righteousness

Your soul shall be joyful in God and you will become His likeness

The righteousness which is of God by faith in His Son

Nullifies the sin, that in your old life, you thought was fun

When we receive Christ, His spirit becomes our inner guide

Never again, when you hear God’s voice, will you have to hide

Now you can talk to God and He will hear and take away our fears

No more hiding and being afraid for he even wipes away our tears

He will perform great and mighty things through us for His glory and His pleasure

For the scope of His power in us no one can measure

So, let God full you and guide you, just see what he will do through you

Remember, in Christ you are a new creation, all things will become new

          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

Open Your Hands

God gives treasure to all who open their hands and release

One treasure is His pearl of great price, His peace

An exquisitely valuable gift for both the receiver and giver

It requires us to open our hands and give all to Him so he can deliver

He purchased His peace by His Son’s own blood

So open your hands and give Him all your crud

His peace will over take you in the light of His glory

Isn’t it time we received a new and wonderful gift for mankind’s story

The Lord is at hand if you want to receive

Open your hands and give with all your heart and start to believe

Jesus will give you a new day and hopeful tomorrow

Open up and give Him your sin, grief and sorrow

His Word says we always triumph in Christ every time

Be victorious and triumph, don’t commit the enemy’s crime

Take hold of His hand and win

Isn’t that better than where you have been?

God creates winners not flops

Open your hand then grab His and let Him lift you to the top

His peace will be with you and in you forever more

His heavenly riches will surround you, never again will you be poor

Let His peace be with you and go in peace

Living for God, let your sins cease

Believe and Then Live

Do you believe Jesus died for your sins?

Do you believe Jesus died for grief and sorrow?

Do you want a new day and a new tomorrow?

Then give Jesus all your grief and sorrow.

Cast your grief and sorrow upon the Lord and be free.

Let the light of His Word penetrate your darkness so you can see.

Remember the Lord knows how to provide for that which is committed into His Hand.

Receive His Word, take it into your heart, then stand tall and be a Godly woman or man.

Through His Love and Light show the world what God is all about.

Plant His Word in their hearts and watch it sprout.

Finally teach and make disciples of all who believed.

Then it will be their turn to pass on what they have received.

A Godly progression that’s happen for several thousand years.

As His sons and daughters live out His Word each day without fear.            Lionel Copyright 2018
