Seasons

 

 
I see a White fleecy cloud floating by
On this beautiful September afternoon
Summer passed into Autumn last week
Lovely colored leaves will be seen soon

God will show us another season now
It will be the one we will harvest crops
After they have been harvested by us
It changes and the temperature drops

Winter will come and we will then see
All of the beauty of flowers will pass away
Trees will lose their mantle of Summertime
Snow will come as the Winter sky is Gray

Spring time will resurrect all the beauty
Things will come alive then we can see
That God made us the different seasons
Each to have an appeal to you and me

An Eternal Life He Will Give

 
He walks with me along the path
Each day His love to me He gives
I can feel His presence by my side
I know that my Savior really lives

I see him in the birds as they fly
Know He made the trees so tall
He created all things that we see
They can be large or can be small

I know that God created all things
I am the living proof just like you
How else could man be put here
A shame some think it’s not true

He has also built a faraway home
Were all of His believers will live
In heaven with our Lord we’ll be
For it’s an Eternal life He will give

A Beautiful Autumn Day

  
What a wonderful day God has given us
We see Sunshine with an unclouded sky
So peaceful as I meditate what I do next
I could dream about Heaven should I try

I could walk down along the old Oak trees
Perhaps I would see some animals playing
Or maybe I could find a mossy old stump
Spend time there with my Savior praying

Soon we will see a God made phenomenon
Green leaves on the trees will turn to color
It is God’s way of making Autumn beautiful
It is a season we adore like none any other

God made this place for both you and me
So love it with your upmost pride and joy
Build up this marvelous place He has made
God made it for us, so please don’t destroy

I Want To Please

 
When I reach the top of that mountain
Much closer to my Lord I shall then be
Clouds obscure my vision up to Heaven
Still I know I am now much closer to He

I feel His love although I can’t see Him
His presence I know is always with me
He guides me down the pathway of life
Knowing that one day with Him I will be

He has given me a life and I thank Him
I know it is a temporary life that I now live
When the gates of Heaven are open for me
It shall be an Eternal life that He will give

When the streets of Gold I see up in Glory
I will humble myself and fall on my knees
He is the Heavenly Father who created all
It is my God up in Heaven I want to please

Named For God's Only Son

Shawnee Hills Baptist Church has built a camp on Route 140. It presently has room for 50 children. It has 2 cabins with beds and each cabin has air conditioners.

 
It’s with amazement we see the rolling hills
God made them with His upmost perfection
Land where He planted the trees of all kinds
This land gives all His little critters protection

On a bright Sun splattered afternoon I see
A hawk as He flies above searching for food
He needs to bring the food back to his nest
There he will feed his young starving brood

I see a crow flying along a hillside cornfield
There he will get into the farmer’s ripe corn
A scarecrow stands with it’s clothing tattered
Still the crow eats the farmer corn with scorn

At the top of that hill we can see the clearing
We can see that work up there has been done
This camp they have built with God’s blessing
Camp Son Rise, was named for God’s only son

Face To Face

 
Lord tell me about that Eternal land
Let me know how I can get up there
You know my heart is filled with love
Show me the way to your loving care

I have read of that place in the Bible
Have seen where I am welcome there
It says I must believe in all your words
Obey you commandments everywhere

I know I must wait until you call on me
To see what your hand has built for us
To walk on the streets up there in Glory
To meet your son who is named Jesus

That day will be like no other I have seen
I will hear angels singing Amazing Grace
Up there I shall live a life that is Eternal
Get to meet my loving Savior face to face

In That Land

When you hear the Lord calling
Get down on your knees and pray
He will show the way to Heaven
It will be a grand and glorious day

He has mercy on our sinful soul
But you must heed this warning
You must be true when praying
Thank Him both night and morning

He agonized on the cross for us
Dying that day for all of our sin
How can we deny our Savior now
He will open the gates and let us in

He shows everyone compassion
Inside His heart you will find love
One day soon I know I will see him
In that land He built high up above

A Place In Heaven

We know words can tell us a story
His is the greatest story ever told
He has a city waiting for everyone
Land that is paved with pure Gold

One day we will be called up there
Only Jesus can show us how to go
We must trust in all His teachings
Your love for Him will always grow

When times grow tired and weary
Look to the Lord for the best way
He will guide you on the right path
His home shall be yours some day

He will never abandon your hope
What He has told you is ever true
Never will He go back on His word
A place in Heaven is waiting for you

God's Protecting Care

Our life on Earth is filled with aggravation
It seems the devil just won’t let us alone
He will show us what we think is correct
Then find he is always in the wrong zone

Only Jesus will lead you on the right path
Never will Jesus show you the wrong way
His love and understanding is so unending
Just believe in Him and love Him every day

I dream of that wonderful land God made
Not one thing on this Earth can compare
I smile when I think I shall walk with Him
I will feel as though I am walking upon air

There will be a day when we will be happy
No heartaches or problems will be There
God will call us to be in Heaven with Him
There we shall be in God’s protecting care

A Sinner's Plea

Will You tell me sweet Jesus
What path I must take today
I know I must get on my knees
To the Father then I must pray

Answer my prayer if You will
Take this sin filled man away
Take him to your home Lord
Please let it happen this way

I know I have been a bad sinner
Disregarding what God has said
I now feel so much sorrow today
I wish the Holy Bible I had read

Is it too late to save me, my Lord
Can I today receive your true love
Will you save a place for a sinner
In a glorious mansion high above

Because

 
Because He is mine the Sun is brighter
Because He loves my heart beats faster
Because I believe He has a home for me
Because I know He is our great Master

I know He has built a home in Heaven
I know one day I shall see Him up there
I know He died to take away all our sins
I know we shall ever be in His loving care

I want to be in Heaven with my Savior
I want to share Heaven with each friend
I want to hold on to His nail scared hands
I want to give Him love that has no end

When we hear the loud trumpet sound
When time on Earth shall be never more
When I hear those gates to Heaven open
When I know angel wings will let me soar

A great day will soon be when I’ll see Him
A time when His mansions I will also see
A sight that will dazzle everyone’s eyes
A lot of love given to my Savior from me

Only Through Jesus

 
God has made a place of upmost beauty
It shall be my home throughout Eternity
Some day upon His throne I will see Him
I will feel the compassion He has for me

He has made this place for all believers
A home that will forever be open to us
To see this place of that God has made
You must know our sweet friend, Jesus
 
Only through Jesus can you get up there
He died on the cross to take away our sin
He only asks that you truly believe in Him
Obey His teachings and He will let you in

If you want to feel our Savior’s sweet love
Tell Him your feelings each time you pray
Give Him your heart and let love pour out
He will give you a home in Heaven one day

God's Undying Love

 
One day I know I’ll meet my Savior
Far above a cloudless sky I will go
Find my way to a peaceful Heaven
Up there an eternal life I will know

What joy will come into my heart
When I meet a most heralded King
Where I will see the angels singing
Hear the hallelujah bells as they ring

When I see that land of great beauty
I will walk with Jesus Christ every day
Tears will flow from being so happy
I’ll fall down on my knees and pray

Nothing else could be as important
But to know there is a Heaven above
Where we can spend a life eternal
There to know God’s undying love

Start Giving

Born in the midst of the great depression
A time when everyone knew it was hard
I would walk three miles for commodities
Maybe powdered milk or a bucket of lard

We were all poor back in those lean years
It was difficult just to find something to eat
A hard biscuit with a plate of white beans
We knew back then that was really a treat 

Some how we survived by the grace of God
As we look back to those days now long past
He gave us the strength to get through it all
It took a world war so it would no longer last

I look back to that time and thank the Lord
That He gave a much different way of living
Today there are still people who need help
Open up the old pocketbook and start giving

Our Country

  
Do you think the heroes of yesteryear
Would have faced death for our nation
Had they known what it would become
Would they have fought without caution

With all the situations this country faces
Leadership seems to vanished into the air
They took what had kept us all together
Doesn’t anyone now seem to even care

Their love of God created this country
It became land of the red, white, and blue
Today, His Holy name has all but vanished
To put His name in public has become taboo

Would all the people who fought and died
Still love this country like they had before
Maybe they would say it’s not my problem
God to most just doesn’t matter anymore

He has Made Me whole

 
When all life has gone from my body
On Earth I shall breathe never more
I will be on my way to meet my God
Walk with Him on that Golden shore

Meet those who have gone on before
Dear ones, we grieved at their passing
Not knowing they are better off now
Since they are in care of a loving King

A feeling of happiness I can now know
Realizing there is but one place I can go
To the land that is a place of perfection
All answers to my questions I will know

Knowing someday I shall be with my God
Brings peace and satisfaction to my soul
For He has promised me a home in Glory
I thank my God, He has made me whole

This Home

 
We can climb the tallest mountain
Sail a ship on the deepest Blue sea
See all the wonders here on Earth
In beautiful Heaven we want to be

I know He made Heaven and Earth
And what a great world He did make
Telling us a small thing about Heaven
We know it is real, not a kind of fake

Knowing how perfect He made Earth
Could he have made anything better
I am sure Heaven will be spectacular
A perfect place for an eternal shelter

He made this place for you and me
Where we could all live in harmony
Forever will we see peace up there
This home He built for you and me

One Happy Day

 
When we find a time of suffering
Prayer to God will see us through
He will bring us past the darkness
He has love for both me and you

Our God is powerful but so gentle
He wants to give us a home one day
Up in the land that we call heaven
Only Jesus can show you the way

Trust God and obey His written word
Study the Bible. within it you will find
How you can meet Him up in Heaven
Leave this old Earth and the daily grind

There is no secret on how to meet God
Fall down on your knees and to Him pray
He hears all your prayers and will answer
By taking you to Heaven one happy day

On Streets Of Gold

 
I left the valley to climb up the mountain
A mountain that reaches up into the sky
There I knew I would find our loving Savior
I could feel His love but didn’t know why

I wanted to ask Him so many questions
But afraid I’d take too much of His time
Being awe struck when He told me this
I have home for you in a city so sublime

No more questions were then necessary
I knew My Savior had a heart full of love
These feelings He has instilled within me
Did come from God in Heaven up above

I now have no doubts about undying love
For He has given me so much love untold
How wonderful to know that some day
I will walk beside Him on streets of Gold

God's Holy Land

So much comfort I can feel this day
For I know my God is standing near
His presence fills my heart with joy
His soothing words I now can hear

He tells me of a place that’s faraway
Beyond the most distant stars above
He named this beautiful place, Heaven
This grand place He has filled with love

He tells me His Son can take me there
If I follow and obey His ever command
He has built many mansions up there
Where we can live in God’s Holy Land
 
I promised Him that I will do my best
To exult Him and try to keep sin free
If I will give my heart and love to Him
Forever with my Lord one day I will be

Emotions

 
There are times when emotions hurt
Other times they can bring pure joy
Times when they make a tongue wag
Smiles from a child when given a toy

Emotions control our thoughts daily
Sometimes it may not be for the best
There are times we wish life was different
Days that we could let our emotions rest

Emotions can bring a beautiful wedding
Other times emotions tear friends apart
Spoken words might bring a hurt to you
As if a knife has penetrated your heart

As we think of our dear Lord and Savior
Love should be the emotion that we feel
Although He that gave us this life on Earth
A greater life up in Heaven He did reveal

Love

Beauty comes straight from the heart
With pure feelings locked deep inside
Thoughts of love for our blessed Savior
Are so sweet they will never subside

Ugliness is just a skewed state of mind
There is not one ugly thing God made
If your eyes see something unpleasant
It could be your vision might be frayed

What we see on the outside of a person
Does not show what’s within their heart
Love is worth more than one might think
When to you their feelings they do impart

If we all loved as God has meant us to love
Our life on Earth would be different I know
Our thoughts would change for the better
Because our love would continue to grow

How Sin Began

Why must there be sin in this world
A problem created by Adam and Eve
Just a foolish mistake they did make
What God said they did not believe

Forbidden to eat fruit from one tree
A serpent urged them to take a bite
Disobeying God’s command not to
They both knew that it was not right

So temptation of that beautiful fruit
Caused them to defy God’s Holy word
When they had eaten some of that fruit
God’s wrath very soon would be heard

Trying to hide themselves with fig leaves
God knew where they were and He said
You have committed a sin and I must say
For your sins some day you will be dead

So now we are all born with a sin nature
But God sent His Son to pay for our sin
If we will believe and worship God daily
He will open Heaven’s gate and let us in

Our Morning Walk

Though it is misty I can see Him
As I take my usual morning walk
It is here I come to meet my Lord
There we can have a pleasant talk

He tells me of His home on high
Where we can find eternal rest
To find this place called Heaven
He doesn’t give us a simple test

Give your love to our great Savior
Worship and obey Him every day
Follow all of His commandments
Jesus will then show you the way

Where life there is an eternal one
We will see the Sun forever shine
He will give me a mansion in Glory
It’s one that I shall ever call mine

Peace In Heaven

 
While I walk along this flowing river
I hear birds singing high in the trees
God has made this place so peaceful
To these eyes it does certainly please

With perfection God creates things
He would not have it any other way
Taking six days to make this universe
He then rested on that seventh day

If some day you walk along with Him
Pay attention to what He has to say
He will tell you of His Heavenly home
Where He wants you to go some day

In a world that is now filled with evil
His is the only way that we should go
Feel love for your Lord in abundance
Then peace in Heaven you shall know

Your Place In Heaven

 
When we find a time of suffering
Prayer to God will see us through
He is the Master Healer for us all
He is ever there for me and you

Talk to Him and He will hear you
He already knows what you’ll say
You are one of His dear children
His love for you will never sway

Keep a place within your heart
For the love God gives to you
It will take you to His Heaven
Land that is far beyond the blue

There to live this new life forever
Where nothing evil could ever live
If you do believe in Him and ask
Your place in Heaven He will give
