"The Spirit Leads"

My pen does all the talking with the words Jesus wants me to say.

Whether it is of love, nature, sorrow, Him or just the talk of today.

He is with me all the time and His angels help keep me in line.

They also give me a gentle push from time to time.

I wish everyone would accept His uncompromising love;

For it's there for everyone; on the wings of a dove!

What greater love could one have for us;

Than to suffer and die for us?

I give You praise most precious One;

For You fought my battles and You won!!

You loved me even before I knew You.

Thank You for Your angels as a gift;

And my soul, to You, I lift!

"My Only Refuge"

When I need peace I come to Thee,

Knowing You'll be there and comfort me.

My heart has such a heavy load;

I am weak, I am torn and have a rough road.

Give me Your Comfort, this I pray;

Help me with my battles each and every day.

Don't let Satan overtake mine or me;

I pray for more strength that comes from Thee.

Send me Your Comforter to ease my soul,

And the cards dealt to me I shall not fold.

As night comes let me lay in Your Arms;

Feeling I'm loved and safe from all harm.

In Jesus name I pray!

"Go To Him"

With arms wide open, He'll pardon you.

Ponder on that thought and believe the goodness He'll do.

You want His door to be open; Just knock!

That's what He says, and the evils from Satan He'll block.

He says unto Him cast all your cares;

He'll free you from burdens, you'll not have to bear.

He says, give to Him your all;

Be at peace, for you'll not fall!

Go to Him with your troubles in prayer;

Give to Him your heartaches and you'll have no more despair.

"A Mother's Prayer"

Oh Lord, I pray with a mother's heart,

To lift up my son and let his soul not depart.

With Your army of angels protect him, I pray;

For Satan is trying his hardest to take him away.

When thoughts enter his mind to do a wrong;

Speak to his heart and let him know where he belongs.

I can do just so much; so I lift him to you;

For my burdens You said - "Give them to You".

He has such goodness but has gone astray,

Let no harm come; bring him home I pray.

In Jesus name I bid Satan be gone;

Into the dry wastelands and hell's where he belongs!

In Jesus name I send Satan to his fiery pit,

Oh Lord, I know it's only with Your help can this be;

So please give my son strength and let him have peace with his soul be!

In Jesus precious name I ask, Amen.

WHEN I REDEDICATED MY LIFE TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IN AUGUST 1997, I FELT SUCH A PEACE AND WENT HOME AND PICKED UP MY PEN AND PUT MY FEELINGS INTO THE FOLLOWING POEM. ENJOY!!

"I'm Home"

Since I've felt such peace; it's been a long time.

I've strayed so far but I'm back Home, and it's fine!

Wrapped in love; I had forgotten how good it feels;

Coming back to the fold; Lord, my heart does yield.

You stood there calling me to come back home;

I resisted 3 times but an angel pushed and no longer I roam.

Your love is so great and I sing praises to you;

For there are so many wonderful things You do.

I'm home now and the rejoicing's in me;

For my home is with You; the Blessed Trinity!

"No Longer Lost"

I thank You Jesus from the top of my head to the tips of my toes;

You died on Calvery's Cross and then you arose!

With Your precious blood You paid for all my sins;

Before I ever knew you; before my life did begin.

Knowing I'd be here one day reaching to You with my heart;

For I no longer want to sin, but of You I want to be a part.

All this could not be possible if you had not loved me.

You gave me a chance to have a peace and live in eternity.

Blood so red that washes white as snow;

Leading me to Your river where my new life will grow.

Praise be to You for You paid my price on the cross;

An now I can face anything, for with you I'm never lost!!

"Your Spirit's Guidance"

Lord, through Your Spirit's guidance help me to reach Your lost sheep.

Help build their hunger to received what they seek.

Help my pen and hand unfold Your loving care,

And open ears, eyes and hearts to a love that can't compare.

Guide my words with Yours so they will understand;

There's a much better place to go by holding Your Hand!

What you have in store for me I want to share;

Your peace, Your love, that is always there!

If I can but reach on in Your name;

We can bring them Home; the weak and lame.

I love You so, my precious Lord and want everyone to know!

So bless this hand and pen and through it let me show.

The peace you give to everyone walking side by side with you;

Stirring up the Gift with the works You want me to do!

In Jesus name, Amen.

"The Blueprint"

Here's a blueprint for all to see,

It's as easy to follow as A-B-C.

Written long ago for all to know, is---

Your pathway to heaven and the Pearly Gates!

In His Book He has written each name and date.

And with this blueprint, over roads of gold you will go.

Seeing mansions, old friends and a true peace you will know!

No more sadness, hunger, fighting or fear;

For the blueprint, if followed, will wipe away tears.

The engineer who wrote this must have loved us all,

For He sent down His Son to answer Calvery's Call.

He loves us and gives us every chance in the book;

Salvation is for all - open the blueprint and take a look!!

"Homeward"

Upon waking, I smile, for a new day is here.

Another chance God's given me to see my way clear.

There's nothing I can do about yesterday, for it's gone;

But He wants His lost sheep Home, where they belong!

So many chances He gives us to do right;

And constantly, the devil we must fight!

Times have changes since He walked this earth:

Yet still there are those who don't believe His birth!

His book is full of many wonderful stories,

And it's a guide to Him, to His Home in Glory!

He wants us with Him to be close and near;

And our worries and sorrow will be gone.

There'll be nothing to fear!

Don't wait too long to make that decision;

Put your hands in His and accept salvation!

He's true to His Word, and time is running out for us all;

So hesitate no more and answer His Call!

"Try It"

I'm under the influence and it feels so good,

Some told me to do it and I knew I should.

Floating on clouds and flying, Oh so High;

It's addictive and fun;

You should give it a try!

There'll be those to try to stop you;

Saying it's silly, stupid and not the thing to do.

Don't listen to them, the really don't know what they're saying.

It's your life and it's you that's paying;

A world of peace and joy is at your hands;

And all for the asking and learning the plan.

My friend, you'll enjoy it, just try it and see;

Living your life for Jesus and wrapped in His arms, always be!!

"Who Cares?"

I'm just "hanging out", I've got nothing to do.

Dropped out of school, don't have a job, too.

The cops all know me by name, why should I care - I'm underage!

So they arrest me, who cares; just another name on a page!

In no time I'll be back on the streets,

But, Who cares? I've got nowhere to sleep!

This guy next to me has got some blow.

I need some but just don't have the doe.

They say that it's some dangerous stuff;

Who cares?...I just can't get enough!

Nothing can harm me when I'm on a high;

So...Who cares?..I just might die!

I'll get the money, you wait and see.

More blow I'll get...Who cares for me?

Shot somebody, but I got the cash.

Now I'll have my own little stash!

I'm loosing weight...There's nothing to eat.

But Who cares?....I have no shoes on my feet!

You say I have family; I guess so, but they don't understand!

All they want is to rule me and lock me in the can!

I don't need nobody.....My piece and me are one.

When things come down we get the job done.

Maybe I'll get caught for all my crimes.

That's okay...Who cares?...I can do the time!

Someone just came to me and said He cared.

We talked awhile and lots of stories we shared.

He told me He died for people like me;

And held out His hands and two nail holes I did see.

He said He paid my price on Calvery's Hill;

And all the evil I've done, He, loves ME still!

He said I wasn't alone and walked with me awhile.

I felt a peace within me and had to admit, I liked His style.

He was gentle and caring and didn't make a fuss.

He made me feel that there was no one in the world but US!

He knew my name so I asked Him His;

It was Jesus and, Yes!

I do know HE lives!!

"Nature"

In the garden it's peaceful and quiet.

To be one with nature, you should try it.

Listen closely and you can hear the chirps,

Of new little birds, in their nest, on a perch.

So many colors and beauty to see.

You can't help but wonder how it came to be!

Be real still and maybe you'll see;

A doe and her fawn, but stay still, or they'll flee!

Overhead you see the might eagle in flight;

Flying higher and higher till he's almost out of sight!

All this wonderment and so much beauty,

There's a baby raccoon, and he's such a cutie!

Someone powerful had to create this all;

He even created seasons; Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall!!

See the amazing colors of all kinds of flowers;

He must be mighty, and have greatness in powers!

When I come to the garden, there's a peace within me;

And I think to myself,

"Yet, There's a better place I'll see"!
