Oh, I've heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
And You tell me that You're pleased
And that I'm never alone

You're a good good Father
It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Quite possibly at the Top of my list of my favorite songs.
God keeps me strong, He makes me whole, He makes me new.
I'm never alone for He is always with me.

Confessing to God I am a sinner
LORD, every steps I take, I commit a sin.
Every word I speak, I commit a sin.
Every thoughts in my mind, I commit a sin.

I repent, I sin again.
A thousand times I have failed
Yet, so merciful is The Lord,
“ For great is Your mercy towards me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol”


Each steps I take, i commit a sin.
I am so weak, still Jesus loves me.
“For sin shall not have dominion over you,
For you are not under law but under grace.”


Each word I speak, i commit a sin.
I am so weak, still Jesus loves me.
“For when we were still without strength,
In due time Christ died for the ungodly.”


So now, I take an oath.
“Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness,
Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.”

“Therefore my heart rejoiced,
And my tongue was glad;”


Each thoughts in my mind, i commit a sin.
I am so weak, still Jesus loves me.
I kneel before You and praise You,
"For we know that the law is spiritual,
but i am carnal, sold under sin."


Confessing to the Lord I am a sinner.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
But now I am saved through Christ our Lord.
For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

*“Blessed is the man who trusts in You!”
“Blessed be the Lord forevermore!
Amen and Amen”

                      He Lives Within                              
                                        
Within my heart there is a place,
Where love is always found.
The place is where my savior lives,
No matter where I am bound.
His name is Jesus and his face,
I someday yearn to see .
Jesus came for you, and me,
from sin to set us free.
Reach out for His loving hand,
and though your knees are weak,
He'll help you stand.
Look into His loving gaze,
He is with you through all your days.
And when He gently whispers your name,
You will never be the same.
This poem was written by my sister Cathy and appeared in the October 2015 , Sr. Perspective, River edition newspaper in the Poets Corner section. I am delighted that she let me share this with all my Hello Poetry friends.
This race that we the disciple of Christ are in here.
Gets harsh, the pain is overwhelming at times too.
The people that we meet some hates us without reason.
Sometimes our brokenness is reveal within us as well.
But we have a Savior that lives with us here on the earth.
He strengthen us, sometimes moment by moment.
But one thing that I know for sure that we shall overcome.
Because we have a Savior that strengthen us here on the earth.
So whatever you go through or see remember we shall overcome.
Because it shall be the Christ that lives within us that shall overcome
I learn a long time ago just how real that you are here on the earth.
You have reveal yourself to me in so many different levels here.
I seen just exactly how Real you are throughout my whole life.
You could had let me die as a infant, but you gave me a purpose.
That needed to be fulfill here just like you did for so many others.
So many of us your people, have seen you in a light that powerful.
For you really do reveal yourself to those that seek you whole heartily.
For he Loves us and holds our life  in his hands, healing us as well.
Allowing no harm to befall us, that would take our life from here.
Until the time that he deems that is our time to go home to heaven.
Whatever you do here on earth Live for others in Love.
Live Life for others, Live life loving those in your life.
Because everyone that is in your life means something.
To Christ as well as yourself, for God put them there.
For you and them both to learn something from each other.
So Love them unconditional like there is no tomorrow.
For you and them both are very important to God.
For you never know just how Christ shall use you here.
So never give up on others just let them know that God loves them.
Never give up, for the Miracles might be around the corner.
The Great wonders that you see are God's way of revealing himself.
For he know exactly what it shall take to get your attention here.
For he knows everything about you, the food that you shall east.
He knows when you shall go to sleep and when you shall wake up.
He knows whom you shall marry and if you shall get a divorce as well.
He knows your heart, the people that you shall love in your life.
He knows if you shall fall in love with him or if you do not love him.
For he was the one whom spoke you into existence here on the earth.
Sometimes people miss the truth about God.
Losing having fun because you start to follow him.
Running on empty, hiding from God here.
He doesn't want to ruin your life my friend.
But he wants to use you and bless you as well.
For Christ is not a party-pooper here on earth.
He drank alcohol when he was here on earth.
He just never abuse the alcohol on earth here.
He ate some awesome meals as well here too.
So do not feel by giving him your life here.
That you shall never enjoy life here again.

There was only one question on their final exam.
“Are you a Christian?” The perturbed man inquired.
The Buddhists were wounded, the Muslims were spared.
To deny Christ; so easy, to bear witness; so hard,
What would they answer; those about to meet God?
Would they lie to be “saved”? or lie down in the sod.
Nine souls were dispatched with a shot to the head,
before police shot their interrogator dead.
Nine people bore witness to the Cross at their death.
They wouldn’t deny Him with their final breath.
American Martyrs bore Him witness, you see.
If you took this exam what would your answer be?

Lord, here I am
Unfit to tie your shoes
Still on my behalf you move
When I'm not sure of what to do

You comfort me
You comfort me

Lord, here I am
The blind man at the gate
Not able to see the way
You hold my hand and gently say

You'll comfort me
You'll comfort me

Lord, here I am again
The woman at the well
My sins explain themselves
They are mine and no one else

Comfort me
Comfort me

Lord, here I am
The man beside the pool
Needing healing too
Help me find healing in you

As you comfort me
Comfort me

Lord, here I am
The thief that's on the cross
With the right words I am at loss
As my sins you pay the cost

Which comforts me
Yes, you comfort me

A furry angel watches me while I sleep
A furry angel hardly makes a peep
except an occasional purr or meow
The furry angel requires no vow
but likes food and love
In return she loves me much too
Welcome Picket the furry angel cat
My daughter and I have a new furry angel cat
