“Choose”

Wrapped up in a mystery this puzzle we call life

Enigmatic purpose fraught with pain and strife

Many search for answers reaching far and wide

When actually the key to life is buried deep inside

Love is the only reason we think and move and breathe

Love bestowed upon us that which we all receive

The righteous and the wicked the mighty and the small

For does not rain and sunshine beat down upon us all

Perception sets the attitude you’re grateful or you’re not

The counting of one’s blessings the grateful heart is taught

The key to life above the strife the path to love and peace

Is simply trusting in the One who’s promised us release

Release from all our burdens our woes our hurts our pain

For by His blood’s redeeming flood He’s washed clean every stain

Now you can choose to listen or you can go your way

I promise this to you my friend that there will come a day

A day when all that matters is the truth and what you do

Receive God’s gift of grace or not it’s wholly up to you

For each of us is given in our hearts and minds the choice

The freedom to deny it or to listen to God’s voice

The thief wants to deceive you and convince you it’s a lie

But really he’s the liar and he wants to see you die

Tomorrow is not promised don’t put off another day

Claim the gift He offers you Christ is the only way!

(John 14:6)

“Chin Up”

Caught up in the moment

And trying just to cope

As faith rests on the premise

That one must have some hope

The devil will distract you

And try to beat you down

He even pierced my Saviour’s brow

Accursed thorny crown

But deep inside I must abide

I really need to know

That God is always with me

No matter where I go

Atop the highest mountain

Or darkest valley floor

The coolest crystal spring

Or distant bloody shore

This tiny speck we live on

Mere dust in outer space

All of this will fade away

When gazing on His face

For now just count your blessings

Yes name them one by one

And thank the Father every day

For sending us His Son
