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

  An Easter Song

Jesus, when we nailed you to that tree, it didn’t bother me

When we watched you die in agony, it didn’t bother me

When we placed you in that cave to stay, it didn’t bother me

When we sealed the door and went away, it didn’t bother me

BUT   I NOW SEE   I NOW SEE

From the baby in that stall to His resurrection call

I NOW SEE,  I NOW SEE,  I NOW SEE

I know now you died for me.  I know now you set me free.

You came in and took my darkness.  You came in and took my lostness.

I NOW SEE,  I NOW SEE   Your sacrifice for me on that tree.

I NOW SEE,  I NOW SEE  I am saved,  I am free for all eternity.

Jesus, Jesus you found me lost.  Jesus, Jesus you paid my cost.

Jesus, Jesus you set me free.  I NOW SEE, I NOW SEE, I NOW SEE.

Jesus, Jesus, you are the King of Kings.

Jesus, Jesus, you are the reason I sing.

Jesus, Jesus, you are a brother and a friend to me.

I NOW SEE, I NOW SEE, I NOW SEE

I will bring glory to you today in what I think, do, see, and say.

I will bring glory to you today in my thankfulness as I pray.

FOR   I now see, I now see, I am saved, I am free.

FOR   I now see, I now see,  you will love me for all eternity.

Jesus, Jesus, you came for me.  Jesus, Jesus, you died for me.

Jesus, Jesus, you set me free.  I NOW SEE, I NOW SEE, I NOW SEE

You love me, You love me, You love me.

A Child Needs You

Have you ever sponsored a child? 

When you do, your heart will grow more tender and mild.

Over the months and years, you will observe their facial

Expression change.

As you provide month by month helping to get their life

Rearranged.

You will receive letters thanking you for all you have done.

They will make you happy, excited, and relieved, seeing their life less stressed as they have more fun.

This allows them to be a child again and dream and play.

Knowing the Lord has sent them an angel to help take care of them each day.

As time moves on, your love for them will grow more and more.

All the love God has given you, you can now give away, isn’t that what love is for?

Someday you might meet them face to face.

Then you can hug each other in a thankful embrace.

Sponsor – give love- make a difference

Farewell to Pastor Graham, Pastor J. and Pastor Ben

All three passed away this past week

They were strong in the Lord and at the same time quite meek

They left a void here on earth, and at the same time,

Gave Heaven a celebration by their eternal rebirth

They are now receiving their exceedingly great reward, as they entered the presence of the joy of their Lord

There are receiving a crown of glory that will never fade away

An incorruptible crown of righteousness that is there to stay

The Word states the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us

All this because they received Christ and obtained His righteousness

Your family and friends say good-bye for now

We will rejoice with you in heaven someday as our Lord allows

Who Is In Control

Who is the boss of your life anyway?

Do you push God out and tell Him to stay away?

Those questions need to be asked, if you are trying to move forward away from your past.

Perhaps it is time to let God in. 

Perhaps it is time you confessed your sin.

Perhaps it is time you let God win.

Do you know in your heart what your answer should be?

Then humbly as God to come into your life and set you free.

He knows the plans he has for you, and they are good and they are right.

So, move toward God leaving your past far out of sight.

His Holy Spirit will fill you with a new desire.

It will fill your mind and soul, setting your heart on fire.

Then move forward in the power of His strength not yours.

Watch as He directs your life and opens all the right doors.

Now thank Him and praise Him he so loves to hear that glorious sound.

Joining in the earthly chorus of His children singing Hallelujah. “We were lost but now we are found.” Amen!

Valentine’s Day Poem

They say that love is in the air

Some find it fast, for others it is rare

There is a love that can be received by all

We just need to listen and hear its call

A love more precious than all the diamonds and gold in the ground

Where is that kind of love? Where can it be found?

It is the love of God for all His creation

For each person it is realized when they receive their salvation

His love can be found everywhere and anywhere

It is transferred through His children when they care and when they share

Jesus brought it down and left it in His sisters and brothers

It must be experienced, for it is a love like no other

This Valentine’s Day I hope you hear its call

His love was given for everyone, that includes us all

And remember, love is always in the air when god is there      Lionel   Copyright 2018
