Come Into The Deep End... with ImHisServant (3)

BEHIND SHROUDED EYES


Whilst down life’s corridors we tread
To classrooms long since gone
We see the rich the famous dead
Who lived without God’s Son


We see their misty clouded eyes
We see each prison cell
No thought of God or paradise
No thought of death and hell


Tightly confined in self made jails
Unknown God’s Truth & Light
Behind the devil’s masks and veils
Behind their walls of night


We see through darkness shrouded minds
Their lustful thirst for gold
We see the chains which Satan binds
Their spirits lost and cold


Where tender hearts should only beat
Where tongues to God should cry
There tears and pain show man’s defeat
Whilst locked in sin they die


But God can see man’s loathsome state
He sees the heavy chains
He sees the day is growing late
Where still the devil reigns


The Father sees the heart of pride
He sees where man should go
He sees His Son with arms held wide
Where no one wants to know


Love also sees the eyes that see!
The ears by faith that hear
And these He’ll send the world to free
And teach His name to fear…​

DOCTORS ARE LIMITED


We hear of surgeons healing sight
We hear now blind may see
But yet they fail to see the light
That comes through Jesus free

We hear of death defiant skills
Of sicknesses retreat
But still the devil steals and kills
And brings the soul defeat

To what great heights yet doctors strain
However skilled their hands
Certain limits will man remain
Regardless how he plans

Though even death now seems to wait
May close a time its door
But one day all must share the fate
That God has set before

Whatever good on earth is done
What deed we’re seen to do
God’s true glory will come to none
For He alone stands true

It’s Christ who heals, who opens eyes
Who makes God’s children well
Who’s Key and Door to paradise
Who keeps us out of hell

It’s Christ who gives a surgeon skill
Who guides their hand each day
Who by His might, His wondrous will
Shows each of us The Way

Give thanks to God and to His Christ
Glorify God’s true Son
Lets praise The Lamb God sacrificed
For all on earth He’s done…

NOT FOR LOSING WEIGHT


When Jesus walked upon the land
Denying cup and meat
Suffering desert, burning sand
Till Satan met defeat


We too can flee the fowler’s snares
Each tempting ploy today
Resist buying the serpent’s wares
And see him crawl away


Who’d seek for victory in God’s Son
His guidance to receive
Who’d see mighty miracles done
Fasting; may well achieve


Fasting could break the strongest chain
May free from Satan’s claws
Can light the flame of hope again
And open many doors


Its not a way for losing weight
Excepting that of shame
But who declines from meat and plate
Can lift up Jesus’ name


Can touch the heart of God on high
Can move His hands of might
Can bring us treasure none can buy
Can put the foe to flight


True faith can grow through fasting prayer
Life’s spark can come ablaze
Can cause The Lord great gifts to share
As was in bible days


But many knees fail yet to bow
Like fools they’re plagued with doubt
They think to fast is not for now
Thus lose to Satan out


Michael P. Johnson

JUSTICE PEACE TRUTH & LOVE


For justice, truth and peace to flow
Love too has fruit to bear
United must become all four
And practiced everywhere


True justice cannot stand alone
It needs of truth and peace
When love becomes the corner stone
Sweet fruit will never cease


Let's drink The Truth as sweet old wine
Let love live not in vane
Mix justice now with peace divine
Allow harmony reign


For justice without love is nought
Peace without truth’s a lie
Until the world this fact is taught
Condemned she’s bound to die


To facts of life she must be wise
Her children need to see
Until they look with open eyes
Salvation cannot be


When truth and peace they understand
When love becomes her root
When justice lifts her outstretched hand
She’ll bear the sweetest fruit


Let candour be a constant guide
Integrity wear a crown
Impartiality reign inside
With love as wedding gown


Allow love’s wisdom steadfast rule
Truth’s knowledge change one’s heart
Let peace become our daily tool
Let justice play her part

THE "U" IN JESUS

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God even stuck U in the name of His Son.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Geneva, sans serif]And each time U pray, you'll see it's true
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.


You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.


Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan.
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
And this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.


When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U.


So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know
But it all starts with U.

I ONCE WAS BLIND (1)
Who fail to answer Jesus’ call
Who fail to see The Light
Who fail to stand when others fall
Will fail to win life’s fight

The fight with lust with selfish gain
With doubt with fear and pride
They’ll fail to break the devil’s chain
Without God’s Fire inside

The Holy Ghost will open eyes
God’s Lamp will show the Way
Reveal deceit, demonic lies
Will strengthen who obey

He’ll guide in truth, disclosing wrong
He’ll teach us how to live
Nourishing faith to sing life’s song
And give all God would give

Yet like a fool I failed to see
Through selfish lust deceived
I sought no way that I’d be free
From whom all hell’s believed

The devil reigned to cloud my mind
He’d hide what God has done
Deceived and bound these eyes were blind
To Christ God’s Lamb & Son

To God quite blind completely dumb
Yet in the world no dope
Whatever day or night would come
I’d somehow always cope

I lived my life embraced each thrill
With tooth and nail I’d fight
I’d lie and cheat to get my fill
But then I saw The Light

I ONCE WAS BLIND (2)


For me, the world had but one rule
Give all it had to give
How could I think The Lord a fool
And still expect to live

The things I did against the law
The ruthless methods used
You’d never think I’d find The Door
So much was God abused!

True friends in life I never had
Just people I had known
But retrospect, it makes me sad
How much I was alone

Till then my life was paved with shame
I did as I saw fit
But Jesus came and called my name
And freed me from the pit

He brought with peace, Salvation’s Dove
He brought me neath His wing
He brought such rich such wondrous love
And songs of joy to sing

He gave with peace, eternal life
The power at life to smile
He promised when a faithful wife
He’ll walk my extra mile

Now what The Lord has done for me
He’ll also do for you
Allow His Lamb to set you free
His will on earth to do

His love is mine instead of hate!
I’ve friends like grains of sand
Come turn to Christ before too late
He’ll come to hold your hand

John 11:25

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the
life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live:

 

[bornagain91]

WHICH IS YOUR DOOR

The world’s absorbed in endless strife
Which way must man pursue
There is a door to endless life
But death has got one too

Now both doors live and have a voice
They’re calling night and day
To man it’s free to make his choice
To which he’ll pave the way

The door to death is wide and tall
Through sin, we have the key
Behind; we hear the devil’s call
“Come in the way is free”

It’s top and sides are sin and shame
It’s hinged with selfish pride
Disobedience, is the name
That bids us walk inside

The Door to life’s a cross of wood
So narrow plain and small
The frame stained with innocent blood
Cries out to one and all

There’s many ways to Satan’s layer
To God, there leads but one
The way to life, we find through prayer
By grace of Heaven's Son

Through Heaven's Lamb's The Door to life
His blood has paved the way
The way to end man’s foolish strife
And endless peace today

Who find themselves in Satan’s layer
Yet seek a way of flight
They need but now to kneel in prayer
For God to send His Light

Michael P. Johnson.

Psalm 20:1-2
May the Lord answer you in the day of your trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high!
May He send you help from the sanctuary
And support you from Zion!

WILL YOU HELP


Support others, encourage hope
Life’s mountain, help to climb
Teach those who fail through life to cope
Help guide a soul from crime


Nothing should rob us of our crown
No one should keep us low
Nothing should chain God’s servants down
Nor stop Love’s blessed flow


But still so much can stop life’s stream
Obstructions yet remain
Though seeking to fulfil life's dream
We break beneath the strain


By far the tongue’s our greatest foe
The ear’s not far behind
Both can hinder a child to grow
And make the wisest blind


Thirst for silver hunger for gold
Lust for power and fame
Through such; to Satan lives are sold
To end in total shame


But Christ can help a lamb astray
Can free the worst in sin
Can hinder rot, can stop decay
Can help life's crown to win


Christ can turn who’ve disobeyed
Can lift who fall and fail
Can help the least to meet the grade
Can free those chained in jail


We too can help a sinner walk
Backsliders who resist
Can show direction at life’s fork
When Christ our life has kissed…

Psalm 34:17-20
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord hears
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keps all his bones, Not one of them are broken.

God bless everyone. Hope you all have a great day!

THE SPIRIT’S TOUCH {1}


“Lord, let my praise scale Your mountain
Let Your grace be a fountain
Allow Your truth fill unsaved ears
There to abide eternal years


Without Your love, I was alone
Within I had a heart of stone
For death I used to yearn each day
For no-one came to show the way


I failed to love the way I should
Serve my God the way I could
Be on my knees or sing Your praise
Yet still Your love’s set me ablaze


With You my God I need no-more
On love’s true wealth I now can soar
In Jesus’ hand this child is free
With hope and faith Your face to see


Upon the hills Your truth is heard
There being sung by beast and bird
Amongst the trees reigns beauty serene
Throughout nature Your handwork’s seen


God You’re eternal, so deep, deep
Your depth’s awesome, I keep, keep
Wanting to submerge, falling, falling
Deeper Lord, You’re so enthralling


Infinite God, Your truth’s foretold
Just how life’s pages now unfold
Without Your Marker I’d lose my place
From life’s book without a trace


Yet with Your hand held fast to mine
From Jesus’ cup I drink life’s wine
Through Jesus’ love it’s mine for free
I thank my God for saving me.
