Mistletoe sprigs and chocolate moose
Circus on the tele’
Chicken, turkey, roasted goose
Bowls of wobbly jelly
Colourful greetings in the post
Great parcels in a heap
Glasses raised for another toast
Excited kids can’t sleep
But what is Christmas all about?
So few seem yet to know
For some a...
Twas not the nails that held Christ there
Upon the dreadful tree
But through the love He had to share
For you my friend and me
Twas not for saints, nor righteous man
Christ Jesus came to die
But for the lost for humble man
For such as you and I
Twas not for sloth, nor quick in pace
God’s Son...
We find the lost in great distress
They hear of Christ and doubt
“ If God were real He’d see this mess
He’d turn this world about”
But God wants man to make the start
And so He gives His Seal
Now all who have Him in their heart
Put shoulders to the wheel
Complacence is a foolish child
Where...
“To You my God I now surrender
All to You my Lord I give
That one day I’ll see Your splendour
Let me in Your Light now live
I fear so much my Lord’s rejection
Shame prevents my entry in
Nought should hinder my election
Foolish idols wayward sin
To You I lay upon the altar
All that robs me of...
Satan the world has so deceived
Through wanton lust for sin
But faith, the gift through Christ’s received
Will see God’s children win
True knowledge that the Lord is real
We purchase through belief
When in due course God’s strength we feel
It’s then to Satan’s grief
The devil tries to keep...
We all have need to pay our dues
We owe The Lord above
Yet some in truth will still abuse
The time He gives in love
All time’s a gift the Father gives-
Each child to spend as planned
The span through which a servant lives
Is in the Master’s hand
Time each day from God we borrow
Serving Him...
Too many boast of what they can
Yet fruit they seldom bear
To be in Christ, a mighty man
Be first a child of prayer
The strong oft pray without a pause
For hours on bended knee
They need to open many doors
And Jesus has the key
Though oft it’s hard to kneel and pray
Yet press for all you’re...
“Dinner is on the kitchen floor
Soiled dishes fill the sink
I just can’t manage anymore
Through strain I fail to think
This life’s too much for me to bear
I’m at a total loss
I need someone to help me share
The burden of my cross
With just a book you’ve come to me?
You see me in this state...
Me go to church would be in vain
There’s nothing more to see
At home I’ve so much more to gain
The church has nought for me
Of course! I’m saved I testify
I witness those I meet
I know The Lord won’t let me die
Like those still on the street
But frequent church I have no need
God hears at...
“Deny yourself and follow me - Mt.16:24
Repent from wayward sin… -Pr.23:20-21
Oft fasting prayer will set you free… -MK.9:29
From all your filth within” -Mk…9:26
We fast and pray we seek God’s face
We ask what one should do
That God in turn may show His grace
If when our walk is true
To seek...
Our world at large seems cursed with wars
Distressed; she writhes in pain
Her sinful brood bears open sores
Through lust for selfish gain
As one in Christ we must be freed
United throughout the earth
That God in each may plant His Seed
That grows to second birth
How can we praise our Maker’s...
This coloured world has many creeds
Who tear God’s church apart
With bridges God can meet the needs
And calm the troubled heart
Each bridge must be for black and white
That leads to arms held wide
No border to be crossed at night
Welcome are “ALL” inside
No toll, barrier passport or map
Nor...
Is someone there who truly cares?
Is Jesus truly real?
If I should kneel say now my prayers
Would God know how I feel?
How strange I felt within my bed
Though nothing was in sight
Yet was it clouds beneath my head?
On which I’d spent the night?
But then I thought how could my feet
Have...
I came upon a jewel one day
No better man has found
This treasure someone threw away
Or lost it on the ground
I sweep the roads that’s what I do
In sun and rain I’m out
I clean the streets to look as new
I rid what’s thrown about
This day I swept without a care
As pleased as one could be...
Many have heard Salvation’s cry
Not few in time will say
I’m born again I’ll never die
Yet then they fall away
When was it last you deeply cried?
You felt your heart would bleed
When did you pray God turn the tide?
For someone else in need
When did you feel secure and strong?
Yet somehow...
Our world is suffering great defeat
Her death though slow is sure
Yet if she’d sit at Jesus’ feet
She’d find her perfect cure
In Christ her children would be strong
They’d seek their Saviour’s face
Instead she sings the devil’s song
And steals away from grace
Perhaps she’ll come if Christ is...
The body needs it’s legs to walk
Needs hands with which to feel
Without a mouth it couldn’t talk
Nor ever eat a meal
The church of Christ is much the same
Her parts are needed too 1Co.12:12
When void of limbs she too is lame
The same as me and you...
Where Jesus’ Spirit’s free to flow
Strongholds crumble and fall
In such a church God’s flock will grow
And make their tent too small
God’s flock within will never stray
As darkness can’t abide
Where Jesus’ Spirit has His way
He knows no sin can hide
For every sin will come to light
The shame...
The fight is on for every soul
Where Satan seeks your life
Where serving Christ will make you whole
Ignorance is a knife
Where those in sin may think they’re free
They go about their will
But all are blind and fail to see
The devil’s out to kill
For Satan has a job to do
A job he does so...
“To slide from grace can happen quick
Although we think we’re sound
The devil knows most every trick
And tries to keep us bound
It’s difficult with guilt to pray!
No help from man to find
To God you just can’t find the way
You feel you’ve lost your mind
To go to church there’s little heart...
