WHO DO YOU LOVE?

God has a plan
You are it
What you do-can change it
What you don’t-shortchanges you

God has a plan
He loves you
Died and rose-because He knows
The pain you have-the world is woes

God has a plan
It’s made for you
To help you grow-your heart made whole
No more fear-Jesus is always near

God has a plan
His plan equips
You to be-what you know is you
His wisdom-guides you to be His

God has a plan
Who do you love?
Choices determine-what you’ll be
You determine-if you’ll be free

God has a plan
Focus on Christ
Declare His love-at every chance
Thanksgiving for Him-His gift to you

God has a plan
Life comes quick
Be with Him-eternity begins now
Don’t waste time-Love Him now

INFINITY

I think I know
I want to know
To know what I know
I presume to seek
And know infinity

I look around me
Bending my weak knee
Asking about God
Answering my own question
Look at me I THINK

What I think
Is the best of me
How I think
Is the worst of me
Infinity cannot be described

Jesus knowing this
Standing at the side of God
Father let me show him
Infinity in human form
So he can think of me

Love walked into my life
Love gave me infinite advice
All He asked was my trust
Giving me the strength to give
Infinity was here in the flesh

Love is the best I can know
His love is the best He gives
Claiming His love I live
To be with infinity
Infinity makes me free

RISK

Risking all
For Jesus Christ
Before we know
What lengths we go
How do we know?
What can we do?

I wish I could
I wish I knew
If you would spend
The time to do
The things to know
How God loves you

Precious strength
A loving Lord
Guides my steps
As my life I give
To share His word
And risk it all

Daily come
Daily seek
To know the Lord
To see His love
Sharing all we are
I love you Lord

JESUS SAID “WALK MY WAY”

Walk my way
Do you not know?�
I’ve been the place
That you will go

It’s often dark
All up hill
The testing comes
You have a chill

Walk my way
Life is tough
You need my strength
To have strength enough

Nothing comes
I do not know
I’ll stand with you
I love you so

Walk my way
I care for you
I know what comes
I died for you

My death was real
Death died that day
My life I gave
For you I pray

Walk my way
I’ve a plan for you
A plan of life
That will see you through

Through all the days
Of the world you see
Then in that day
You’ll come to me

WHERE ARE YOU?

Where are you?
Asked the Lord
Filled with hate?
Holding a sword?

A constant call
To draw us near
To cleanse our hearts
To listen and hear

His Word declares
All have sinned
It’s spoken to you
Yet you are dear

Dearly beloved
The Lord wants you
To lighten your load
Not to live in fear

Where are you?
Do you know?
Is your friendship strong?
Is Christ along? 

The Word, His way, Obedience, Prayer
Define our life, guide our way
Let His love, have control
Stop where you are, in Christ we know

Life is for living
Service for giving
Jesus our Savior
Gives meaning to our life

I’VE HAD ROME

I’ve had Rome
Ancient streets
Hewed stones
Up and down the avenue

I’ve had Rome
Thru dark streets
And Pizza joints
Beautiful strollers
Bikes and buses
Gelato stores

I’ve had Rome
Cesar stood where I walked
Paul was beaten
Peter was beheaded
Christianity flourished
In Rome

I’ve had Rome
The Forum was full
The Colosseum still stood
Caught many busses
And ate great food

I’ve had Rome
Espresso quick
And that’s about all
I walked the Tiber
And loved all I saw
I’ve had Rome

I WANT TO SEE

I want to see Jesus
In everything I do
King of kings
Lord of me

Equipping and enabling
The work I’m to do
Jesus knows my limits
He’s called me for you

I’m to be His speaker
That tells you of His love
Guiding you to His Scripture
And a life that God can love

I’m to be His hands and feet
To show you Christ
Making sure my service
Doesn’t cloud your heart

Jesus is the answer
To all the questions of life
Christ loves you
And provides you with His love

Every day with Jesus
I will grow in grace
As I live in obedience
I will see His face

BEYOND THE END OF TIME

Archie has a great mind
His devotional explored time
And the way God sifts men’s designs

We walked into time
Reached out to see
What the Romans did
And it affected me

Along the way we talked
Many thoughts
Our steps tracked through tears
Of slaves and burdened years

How do I fit?
In God’s kingdom work
What can I change?
That will glorify God’s name

Sad that Nero
Is remembered so long
I still felt the evil
That impacted the catacombs

We don’t have the names
Christians glorified Christ
God’s book has those names
And they won’t be forgot

When we get to heaven
There will be no Nero’s there
If our name is in His book
Christ will remember us

Each thing that we’ve done
Nothing hidden from the Son
The reward will be great
Time will be undone

Christ will take you on a stroll
And your feet won’t hurt
We will see His forum
Where we’ve been written up

I won’t forget this Sunday
It is etched in my mind
And Christ won’t forget me
Beyond the end of time

CELEBRATIONS

Sunday is a grand day
Of celebrations and joy
We walked thru history
In a Roman convoy

What a panorama
The Forum of Rome
Anchored by the Colosseum
Held together by many thrones

The Palatine is now swept clean
Overlooking all of Rome
Where the emperors sat
Feeling strong and tall

What have all the years done?
To a society that ruled the world
Reducing it to rubble
And now it’s gone

It was a violent society
Self-centered on its need
Greedy causes flourished
Led by men with evil needs

Celebrations are deceiving
Many sedate the soul
Rome ignored Jesus
And now it is gone

NO ESTEEM

We covered history
As we crisscrossed Rome
From early to the middle Ages
Looking at their homes

We listened to the eras
Across two thousand years
Presenting themselves
In bricks and stones

Nero still remembered
Evil was his throne
Always hurting people
His hurt still is known

Everywhere we traveled
Death reared its head
All those people
Struggled until they were dead

Now the façade is religion
Churches everywhere
All those hurting people
And the world doesn’t care

Rome is not unusual
Man is very mean
The strong live for ego
And people get no esteem
