Forgiven​

Grace is the kindness and favor of God
extended to you. It is nothing you can earn or
deserve. Grace is God saying to you, "You can
do nothing to save yourself; there is no need
to ever try because I have done it all. I have
given My Son to die for you, and He has made
the perfect sacrifice for your sin. Come and
receive My free gift."
--- Text by Roy Lessin ---​

A Rusty Nail​

I ran a nail into my hand,
The wound was hard to heal;
So bitter was the pain to stand
I thought how it would feel,​

To have spikes thrust through hands and feet,
Impaled by hammer beat.
Then hoisted on a cross of oak
Against the sullen sky,
With all about the jeering folk
Who joyed to see me die;​

Die hardly in insensate heat,
With bleeding hands and feet.
Yet was it not that day of Fate,
Of cruelty insane,
Climaxing centuries of hate
That woke our souls to pain!

And are we not the living seed
Of those who did the deed!
Of course, with thankful heart I know
We are not fiends as then;
And in a thousand years or so
We may be gentle men.

But it has cost a poisoned hand,
And pain beyond a cry,
To make me strangely understand
A Cross against the sky. ​

Christ

He is a path, if any be misled;
He is a robe, if any naked be;
If any chance to hunger, He is bread;
If any be a bondman He is free;
If any be but weak, how strong is He!
To dead men life He is, to sick men health;
To blind men sight, and to the needy wealth;
A pleasure without loss, a tresure with out stealth.

If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him ​

(2 Tim. 2:12)​

Transform your troubles into triumph and grow.

What Makes Me Grow​

For every hill I've had to climb,
For every stone that bruised my feet,
For all the blood and sweat and grime,
For binding storms and burning heat,
My heart sings but a grateful song ---
These were the things that made me strong.​

For all the heartaches and the tears,
For all the anguish and the pain,
For gloomy days and fruitless years,
And for the hopes that lived in vain,
I thank you Lord, for now I know
These were the things that helped me grow!​

All That I Am
I Am In You
SHEMA

All that I am
All that I do
All that I'll ever have
I offer now to You​

All that I dream
All that I pray
All that I'll ever make
I give to You today​

Take and sanctify these gifts
For your honor, Lord
Knowing that I love and serve you
Is enough reward​

All that I am
All that I do
All that I'll ever have
I offer now to You. ​

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.​

John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.​

For all things are yours. . .and ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's
(1 Cor. 3:21-23)​

I Am Thine!​

All Things Are Yours​

"All things are yours!"
Do you believe it?
"All things are yours"
Can you receive it?
The sea, the sky, the air;
The beauties everywhere:
God's wonderful "out-of-doors" ---
. . .All yours.​

"All things are yours"---
You're rich beyond all measure!
Not here alone,
But with eternal treasure.
Yet here also, and now,
For every waving bough
and lovely flower,
And gentle shower:
God's wonderful "out-of-doors"---
. . . All yours.​

And as the sun
Tells that day is done,
And shadows fall
Upon us all,
You whisper low---
For Him to know---
"Savior Divine,"
And I am Thine! Thine!
~Jean Newberry, from a card printed in England, 1925~​

This is the day the Lord hath made,
we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Out In The Field With God
(Louise Imogen Guiney)​

The little cares that fretted me
I lost them yesterday,
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.​

The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born~~
Out in the fields with God.

The Birth Of Flowers
(Mary McNeil Fenollosn)​

God spoke! and from arid scene
Sprang rich and verdan bowers,
Till all the earth was soft with green~~
He smiled; and there were flowers.​

Symbol
(by David Morton)​

My faith is all a doubtful thing
Wove on a doubtful loom,
Until there comes, each showery spring,
A cheery tree in bloom.​

And Christ who died upon the tree
That death had stricken bare,
Comes beautifully back to me,
In blossoms, everywhere.​

Many people are suffering from this ailment
Some live in a fancy house and some live in a tent
Lack of nutritional food is the root of many fears
And can shorten one's life spanspan by many years

Vegetables, meat, bread and milk are healthy foods
A proper diet is essential to maintain level moods
To have plenty to eat is a blessing from above
To share a meal with others is an example of love

Another kind of malnutrition is one not often heard
I am talking about the bread in God's Holy Word
Daily heavenly manna is a food that we all need
On the meat of the Word of God all should daily feed

Many of God's children are suffering from this lack
Why won't we eat a full course instead of a Sunday snack
We must be weaned from milk before we get the meat
The Lord's table is spread with plenty for all to eat

Quietness​

"Be still and know that I am God,"
That I who made and gave thee life
Will lead thy faltering steps aright;
That I who see each sparrow's fall
Will hear and heed thy earnest call.
I am God.​

"Be still and know that I am God,"
When aching burdens crush thy heart,
Then know I form thee for thy part
And purpose in the plan I hold.
Trust in God.​

"Be still and know that I am God,"
Who made the atom's tiny span
And set it moving to My plan,
That I who guide the stars above
Will guide and keep thee in My love.
Be thou still.​

You should really write from the bottom of your heart indeed!

Forgetting the things which are behind
(Phil. 3:13)

Thou shalt remember all the way which the
Lord thy God led thee.
(Deut. 8:2)

Remembering

Forgetting all my doubtings,
which dimmed faith's vision bright.
Forgetting all the storm-clouds,
the darkness, gloom and night.
Remembering God's bright sunshine,
And radiance of His face.
Remembering His long merciful patience,
I praise my God for Grace.

Forgetting all unkindness,
Which friends and foes have shown,
Forgetting and forgiving,
The wrongs that I have known.
Remembering God provided,
Unsought each faithful friend,
Remembering love's faithful devotion,
I'll praise Him to the end.

Forgetting my repinings,
When disappointments came.
Forgetting all the murmurings,
Which filled my soul with shame.
Remembering God was ever true,
To His word of Spirit and Sword.
Remembering He is faithful,
I praise my sovereign Lord.

Ye are the salt of the world. . .
(Matthew 5:13)

Ye are light of the earth.
(Matthew 5:14)

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
(Ephesians 5:8)​

The Measure of Success
(When Ye Remain as Salt and Light)​

When sunset falls upon your day
And fades from out the west,
When business cares are put away
And you lie down to rest.
The measure of the day's success
Or failure may be told
In terms of human happiness
And not its terms of gold.

Is there beside some hearth tonight
More joy because you wrought:
Does some one face the bitter-fight
With courage that you have taught?
Is something added to the store
Of human happiness?
If so, the day that now is o'er
Has been a real success.
