POVERTY

All around are shakes and fries
Instant everything
In a world that is passing away
Life is not very long

People crying for help
Drugs and evil rule
I must hear their plea
Life will set me free

Jesus brings life and light
To hardened, hurting souls
I am called to share
God’s love with those in the cold

The world is a lonely place
Love does not abound
In Christ we share the love He gives
With every one we meet

I am not to judge
I often can’t debate
The world cannot mimic
The love of Christ in the face of hate

Go and tell
Care for the lost
Jesus is seeking through me
And He has paid the cost

JESUS

Very God
Very man
Jesus came
So I would know
That God is in control
His grace enough for me
I am not alone
His love abounds for free

So much in life
Confounds my mind
So often I feel pain
But has walked
The land I walk
Felt the strain on me
Declaring I am free
His blood the payment for me

Little mind
Little man
So hard to comprehend
But when the Lord
Came down to me
His action showing me
How deep and wide
His love was for me

Calling me to service
Calling me to yield
And in this serving
Yielding mode
I find my strength
To tell and show
Abundant life that gives
So everyone will know

Jesus is for each and all
His love so deep and true
In Christ is value
Strength and grace
Guiding all to know
A quality of life like His
People seek to have
And Jesus gives for free

Rejoice at his worth

THE GUEST

Just a guest
Filled with blues
Jesus came
I cannot lose

All the ways
I choose to live
Does not change
The strength of God’s grip

I’m HIS guest
My life HIS gift
With value and worth
I cannot miss

Inside I cry
For all I’ve lost
A foolish thought
For I’ve been bought

The price was high
The payment complete
Christ gave me life
He set me free

Born for love
Distracted quick
Too often scared
I forget HIS stick

His presence near
To heal my hurt
Building life
Removing the dirt

Swifter than a breath
Suffering He’ll remove
A relationship with Jesus
Will defeat this world’s blues
