Light of Men

In need of Your light Lord; my life is such a mess. Without it there’s no hope Lord; of this I must confess. Show me what to do Lord; I’m ready to listen now. My way didn’t work Lord; would you please show me how? Didn’t intend to forsake You Lord, but I guess that’s [...]

The Streets He Walked

The streets He walked were made of gold; stepped down to dirt and stone. That we might one day be with Him, left angels round the throne. The light of heaven came to us with truth to light our way. To any who believed in Him, with Him they’d ever stay. With Him to walk [...]

My Cage

A few months ago, I joined a jail ministry team.  I really didn’t know for sure what to expect.  I guess I’ve always thought you would go in and try to convince a group of guys to believe or accept something they had no interest in.  It has really been quite the opposite.  For the [...]

A Mother Cries

A mother cries, ‘Oh Lord my son’; there is no hope but Thee. I beg of You, please spare him Lord, in this my painful plea. O church rise up and fight the fight, join in a mother’s cry. Lay hold the hem and don’t let go; don’t quit before you try. A mother cries, [...]

Silver Bells

The Silver Bell In 1510, when the tower of St. James’ Church was first erected, three silver bells were hung in it.  Their peals are rung on special occasions such as royal births, coronations and deaths. In 1540 England, for the annual horse race at Chester, a silver bell was given to the winner in [...]

Is It Any Wonder

  Is it any wonder that He knows the steps that I should take? He goes ahead to clear the way, a path for me to make.   He alone knows where I’m bound and how to get me there; to follow close and listen well, this my only care.
