Walking With My Lord

As I walk with His thoughts in my mind
I can feel contentment flooding my soul
This Earthly life I know will soon be over
Heaven will be home as they call the roll

Knowing the Lord when I was but a child
I somehow slipped in the dangers of sin
Fearful that I had lost my home in Glory
I prayed to God, please let me come in

Knowing He was my only escape of hell
I confessed all of my sins that very day
God then came and in a soothing voice
Said, come for I am the light and the way

Happiness abounds when I am with Him
Knowing one day up in Heaven we'll walk
We will stroll the pathways He has made
Daily with my Lord and Savior I shall talk

A Short Time To Grieve

A tear glistened from his cheek
As he said goodbye to his wife
No trouble will you see up there
You have left this world of strife

He had love her most all his life
They met back in grade school
Some classmates did tease him
But he was far from being a fool

In high school the plans were made
Shortly after the graduation they wed
Two people then became united as one
Smiles came as the vows were said

Raising a family was hard for them
She had to stay home with the kids
No working outside the home for her
It was something her husband forbids

These fifty two years passed by swiftly
Their devotion to God had them believe
Now she is waiting for him in Heaven
Leaving him only a short time to grieve

Splendors Of Heaven

When my Lord calls me up to Heaven
Both joy and sadness will fill my heart
Joy because I will get to meet my God
Sadness for loved ones when I depart

Tho we shall be parted but a short time
Soon God will call you on a bright day
Then we shall meet up there in Heaven
Where we all shall have an eternal stay

We see the many splendors of Heaven
Many jewels of brilliance don His Throne
Wonders we had not seen down on Earth
Beauty no mortal man has ever known

When we walk in Golden sand up there
Little effort is used when we there walk
My greatest love will surely come about
When My Savior and I have a long talk

I Will Not Roam

When we meet up there by that River
Shouts of gladness will flood our soul
Happy tears will flow down the cheeks
Of those that our God has made whole

On the Earth our sin filled life we lived
Until His precious words we did hear
Filling our lives with great expectation
Of this great Kingdom we hold so dear

Now this poor humble soul does listen
To every word that my Savior does say
Knowing full well that He is the Master
Who I want to meet on Judgment day

Soon after this Earthly life has expired
My journey will swiftly send me home
Happiness then will ever fill my heart
From my Saviors arms I will not roam

Which Game

They grieve when their team loses
Yet that loss is not one of their own
That same compassion for our Lord
Would certainly win for you a crown

Only History will remember a score
From a game that was once played
But the score of life He keeps daily
Obey Him and never be dismayed

Team of life will ever be our winner
Working with God will make it be so
Follow every word that He tells you
Then a home in Heaven you will go

Tho we follow all these mortal games
None are so important that we do fret
These games are fun to see on the TV
Our game of life we never should forget

An Extraordinary Day

There is so much beauty surrounding us
God's perfection is everywhere we look
From the snow white covered mountains
Down to that bubbling crystal clear brook

We can see fields of waving amber grain
Oceans of Blue that never seems to end
Skies that are Azure, but at times cloudy
Colorful leaves in Autumn will always blend

We see children playing with great delight
Riding a straw filled trailer is so much fun
Son Rise Hill is so great for all the children
It seems that their playing never gets done

A sloping hillside with tall grass standing
Soon it will be cut and be baled into hay
Different colored ducks down at the pond
God has made this an extraordinary day

Bloodline Sings

We at Shawnee Hils Baptist Church were fortune enough to have a fantastic Gospel singing trio, Bloodline sing at our Sunday services.

Bloodline Sings

It was on a Sunday October morning
Three voices sang in sweet harmony
At church was where we heard them
I know Bloodline was singing for me

We at Shawnee Hills Baptist Church
Thank these singers from our heart
So beautiful was all of their singing
You could tell that right from the start

After our morning services were over
We enjoyed a picnic on Son Rise hill
Great fellowship was had by everyone
I know the great weather was God's will

Heartfelt thanks to John, Christy, and Kim
We will welcome you at SHBC any day
I know I speak for all of our congregation
We welcome you again to come our way

God Paints The Leaves

God painted the leaves in awesome wonder
Magnificent colors of scope with perfect hue
Hills are alive with the many different shades
Could He have painted them for me and you

Maples seem to be His favorite kind of tree
Bright Reds and deep Orange we see them
Shades that blend from His flowing brush
Done with perfection from leaves tip to stem

He does all this painting after Autumn starts
These cool nights seem to be just right for Him
With a tinge of frost that is hanging in the air
Seems as if that is the time for Him to begin

With a kaleidoscope of the colors cascading
Throughout every tree the forest does show
All too soon they will come tumbling down
Then Winter will cover them all with snow

Follow His Footsteps

When we gather around God's throne in Heaven
It will be a wondrous day that we all will then see
Smiles will don every face in that Holy gathering
Heaven then shall be our home through eternity

No false hopes or idolatry will let us see Jesus
We must follow and learn His words every day
Precious is the way He accepts all us sinners
After we confess our sins to Him when we pray

Light will come after a dreary morning's dew
As the Sun drives all clouds away for the day
It warms up the air with it's all powerful rays
Only God alone could have made it this way

Think, my friend about the future days ahead
Follow His footsteps, He will show you the way
God's sun will illuminate the skies of Heaven
Peace and happiness you will see every day

Share His Love

Although my days are becoming shorter
This love for my savior shall never wane
It is with Him I find my peace and comfort
As I obey Him I then have Heaven to gain

Four score years ago I came to this Earth
Filled with sin but with hope from above
Precious Jesus died on that wooden cross
To save the world with His all forgiving love

Each day you should talk to our dear Savior
Tell Him of Your sorrows and all of your woe
Then faithfully obey all of His blessed words
Your path up to Heaven He will surely show

There is no other way you can get to Heaven
But to be in tune with our Dear Lord up above
Hear His voice and heed all of His warnings
Show Him that forever you will share His love
