A Long and Blessed Life in the Lord

I’ve been thinking about how blessed I am by my loving Father through my Lord Jesus Christ. I have a wonderful Mom [in her 100th year], a beautiful and spiritually uplifting wife, a son who loves us and prays for us, our daughter-in-law who is an answer to prayer, two amazing grandchildren who are unique and a joy to behold, my brothers and sisters and their families, Christian friends and co-workers, and a positive relationship with myself.

O Wondrous Grace within Me

O wondrous grace within me,
That brings me life divine.
O font of endless mercy,
That ever more ‘tis mine.
The Father’s love extended
Through Christ to all who come,
Life’s burdened works now ended,
And saved in God’s own Son.

O the Matchless Grace of God

O the matchless grace of God
That I could never earn.
O the wondrous mercy,
For which my heart did yearn.
O the bless-ed peace,
That came o’er me now I’m saved,
O the precious blood of Christ,
God’s own Son that He gave.

I Love You, O Lord, My Strength [Psalm 18]

I love You, O Lord, my strength,
My Rock and my high Tower.
When I called you heard my voice,
And saved me by Your power.
Your perfect way, my feet will tread
On mountains like a hind,
You gird me for each battle,
And victory is mine.

Morning, Noon, and Night

The morning breaks in brilliant sun
The clouds disperse in light,
The golden rays fill everyone,
And stars escape the night.
And men arise to work and serve
Where e’er their lot may fall,
Using talents undeserved,
For God’s grace gives them all.

Faith in Christ

Life’s journey seems so tiring,
Each step of endless care,
The moments pass so slowly,
Amidst the thickened air.
I cannot find the finish line.
Endurance, hopeless, fades.
And all that’s left that once was mine
Slinks down to darkened shades.

Epistles Suite [Paul’s Church Epistles in Poetic Summary]

Romans

Paul wrote to Rome to establish
Believers to walk in the way.
Walking by faith as their habit,
To strengthen each other and pray.

You healed me O Lord, and I am healed.
You saved me, and I am saved.
To You alone we gladly yield,
For Your only Son You gave.

Through Jesus Christ

I am able to live and write and think because God gave me a body and a mind. My parents had a lot to do with me being here. It is THROUGH their relationship with each other that I was conceived and born. When I got born AGAIN years later, it was THROUGH all that Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior did for me. Let’s look at what we have THROUGH CHRIST in some of the New Testament uses of this idea.
