What If You’re Wrong and I Am Right

What if your wrong and I am right

About a place that has no night.

What if tomorrows would have no sorrow?

What if your wrong and I am right?

My job in life is full of faces; everyone tells a story.

Their eyes reflect the daily pain; they need a brand new story.

The eyes I gaze in everyday, long for a new beginning

You can’t mistake their desire, for a life that is fulfilling.

If only I were more at ease at this job I have in life,

I’d tell the eyes and faces, not to end their fight.

The battlefield is very real

It’s everywhere you look.

The only way to win the fight

Is written in a book.

The book is easy reading and just as easy to hold.

It tells a story needing to be heard, by each and every soul.

The message is one of comfort, its meaning just and true.

It’s one I hope you’ll take to heart; it will make your life brand new.

The world on which we’re riding is coming to an end,

So don’t forget the promise, again we’ll live with Him!

No need for you to contemplate those feelings deep within,

This time your heart knows what to do, so please just dive on in.

Go deep into the Savior’s love, and relish in His Being,

This is the life you’re longing for; it’s the one you have been seeking.

For He is coming soon my friend, it’s the Revelation Story.

The streets we’ll walk are paved with gold, what a day t’will be in Glory.

And about that place that has no night, what if you’re wrong and I am right.

Feel The Blessings Flow

If you’re weak and tired and need a break,

Come to Christ and feel the blessings flow.

If you’re out with a crowd and still feel alone,

Come to Christ and feel the blessings flow.

If you’ve done all you can and still feel empty,

Come to Christ and feel the blessings flow.

When you’re down and out and need a friend,

Come to Christ and feel the blessings flow.

He can break the ropes that bind you, He can tear down the walls that blind you from seeing the many blessings that will flow freely when you step outside the haze. Right now it can be settled and you can know His peace, for by His wounds you are healed.

Come to the foot of the cross and confess that you’re a sinner.

Come to Christ and feel the blessings flow!

I Know Where You Want Me

Where will you put me Lord, where will I go.

My heart wants to serve you, and continue to grow.

My work in you daily, is accepted by some

I cry for the others who turn from your Son.

It saddens me so to hear their excuses, of why they continue with all their abuses.

If only they knew what their future could be, If only they knew what their hearts cannot see.

The story of your glory is as plain as the sky, yet so many continue to live out the lie.

A lie that the Devil so cleverly masters, a lie if believed causes certain disaster!

Some people’s lives are void of direction, and some people’s lives are full of rejection.

It’s only in You we learn of your Glory, It’s only in You we learn the true story.

A story that brings an end to rejection, a story that leads us in a saving direction.

I’m sorry for treating your Grace carelessly, I’m sorry for living my life so carefree.

There’s only one choice to make in this life, there’s only one way to end all this strife.

The struggles and quarrels I speak of today, are weighing me down Lord, take them away.

No more will I roam with eyes covered tightly, No more will I roam with a look so unsightly.

I know where you want me I know where to go.

I’m ready to serve you and continue to grow.

Hooked

Shout to the Lord, "I'm hooked on Jesus, nothing is greater than He".

The open arms of His embrace is where I long to be.

He calms my fears, dries my tears and provides a new release,

He loves me unconditionally and His love has set me free.

I'm hooked on Jesus like the Apostles, once they heard Him speak,

I'm ready to tell His story, no more silence will I keep.

In our ever-changing world, we need to hear His story,

So share it with a friend today, God gives you His authority.

Shout if from the mountaintops, and never be ashamed,

For everything we have done wrong, He accepted all the blame.

So when you hear of God's great love, do not act surprised,

Get ready and prepare yourself, for the banquet in the sky.

Lost and Found in You

Lost in a world where there's no one to find me,

Lost in the ways of the world.

Lost in a world where I can't put behind me,

All the ways of the world.

Then one day You came to me,

Your presence I can't deny.

You left Your mark upon my heart,

On eagle's wings I'll fly.

You saved me from my days of uneasy,

You saved me from myself.

You saved me from the ways of the world,

Lord, You saved me from my Hell!

Now that many years have past,

With Your help I've taken control.

The lessons I have learned thus far,

Are lessons for my soul.

You're always welcome in my heart,

And this I know is true,

For how would I know where to go,

Unless I'm found in You!

A Child's Prayer (Jesus…Please come)

Please come Dear Jesus, oh please come, and take us kids away.

Please come and make the hurt stop that we feel day after day.

I know you are a loving God, and one that’s pleased by us,

Please come and take our hurt away, please come and rescue us.

I am only just a child, never asking much each day,

Only wanting to be held and loved and cuddled in everyway.

Oh, for a chance in this big world to be recognized in goodness,

But every time I turn around, I’m asking for forgiveness.

All I wanted from today was to play out in the yard,

But when Mommy came home and saw me, she hit me really hard.

I guess I must have made her mad, it seems I do that best,

I guess I must have made her mad, as she screamed “Your just like all the rest.”

There are many of us little ones, that don’t know how to act,

I guess we don’t know what to do, please Lord take us back.

I know you are a loving God, and one that’s pleased by us,

Please come and take our hurt away, please come and rescue us.

God is Everywhere; He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life

He's the street I travel daily,

He's how I do my job,

He's the way I act toward others, hoping all will see His love.

His word is sharp and powerful, though a true and comforting sound.

It’s one to build your riches on; it’s one where truth is found.

He gave His life in utter shame, full of pain and agony,

The pain He felt there on that tree was felt for you and me.

I pray this day will end all days of suffering and strife,

And you will know God is everywhere; He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life!

He did it all for you and me

My heart aches when I cry

Over how my Savior died

That day on Calvary

The day that set me free.

As the sign was placed above his head,

"THIS IS JESUS, KING OF THE JEWS"

My Lord and Savior cried out,

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do".

The earth shook and the rocks split,

As the temple curtain tore

What feeling the mockers must have had

While holding pieces of the garment He wore.

The ninth hour came and darkness fell all around the land

Then the spirit of my Jesus, was committed to his Father’s Hands.

This was a day of sacrifice,

The greatest ever known

But on the third day He arose,

Now He sits on His Heavenly Throne.

So when you feel Him tugging,

Yes, the one from Galilee,

Remember what he sacrificed,

He Did It All For You And Me!

Jesus Makes Me Breathless

When I think of Jesus I become breathless

Consumed in His Love and Grace

Longing to be in His promised place

There is no other feeling that can compare

When Jesus makes me breathless.

I have walked alone through life so many a day

And felt that my worth was all self made.

My burdens were plenty, my days oh so long

And my thoughts of a future were all dead and gone.

Then one day He appeared to me,

The sound of His name, oh sweet harmony

Rebellious at first and yes, I felt worthless

But His Divine Love filled me with purpose.

I will never return to those days of uneasy

For the Lord God Almighty is forever with me

My thoughts of the future are now a new story

For I know of his promise, "A Home In Glory".

Man of God

As I watched you in church on Sunday,

I could see a great Christian Man before me.

Your faith in Our Lord and Savior is the key to your everyday strength and behavior!

You became a man long before I gave you credit,

And you will become an even greater man as your walk with God strengthens.

Should life’s road become long and intolerable, and you feel like there’s just no tomorrow,

Always remember – Your faith in Our Lord and Savior gives you the power to do all things, which are good in His name!

Oh my son, God’s Love in your heart must never go astray,

For His Love will lead you day after day!

I am so very proud of you and have always been since the day you were born, and you can always be proud of who you are,

For you are a Man of God!

You Are The Greatest!

Love Dad

My Walk Through Life

I thought that I knew everything there was to know in life

I thought that I could handle all my pain and strife

So many roads I walked along were made of clay or stone

And every time I walked them, I was constantly alone.

Oh Jesus, I am on my knees, and wanting a new start

Open up my eyes this day, Lord come in to my heart.

I have heard you knocking many times, only to ignore

But not this time My Master, I’m opening my door.

Thank You Lord for giving me another chance in life

Thank You Lord for handling all my pain and strife.

Now the roads I walk upon are easy to withstand

For I know my Lord and Savior, is with me hand in hand!

My Special Little Special

You were born on a Wednesday, as was I,

Thirty-four years after came your cry.

A cry of beginning and a new welcomed life

A beautiful daughter with baby blue eyes.

You were fragile and tiny, yet journeyed so long,

Proving that "little ones" are so very strong.

I held you in wonder, of how this could be,

Such a beautiful daughter given to me.

Our time passed so quickly, and now you are grown,

A beautiful young woman with plans all her own.

You are made of compassion, strength and serenity,

These are God’s Blessings, they are your identity.

Always remember, how proud you have made me,

I’m your Daddy forever, My Dear Sweet Amy.

You Are My "Special Little Special"

Transformed

Jesus Christ is in my life Jesus is the way,

He has taken all my pain and made it yesterday.

Every morning when I awake, no more pain and sorrow,

Every morning when I awake, I’m looking for tomorrow.

I have been washed in His blood, cleansed from with in.

No more walking on the edge, no more dabbling in my sin.

Jesus is my daily strength; He’s all I’ll ever need.

Lord help me in my garden, help me plant Your seed.

I have so much love with in me, since Your sweet caress,

Help me sow to others all Your happiness.

I am bursting with desire to serve You everyday,

Please let me be a leader along life’s narrow way.

May everyone who reads these words relish in pure delight,

For Christ has gone before you, so you may see His light.

Simply Try Jesus

Many lives are made up of so much pain and sorrow,

Our Lord Jehovah promises a brand new tomorrow.

It’s easy to have, so the Bible tells us,

All we need do is simply try Jesus.

Yes, the Bible is where we find the true story,

It tells of a new home, the one set in Glory.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, and the dead will live again.

So listen for the Master’s call, He’s calling to be your friend.

And if you’ve searched and found your life, to be an empty promise,

Today is the day you need to act; all you need do is simply try Jesus.

When Glory Came To Town

I was sitting all alone one day when Glory came to town

It kind of came in soft and sweet, almost without a sound.

It spread like wild fire, but took no one by surprise

For they knew that it was coming, from teachings in days gone by.

Yes, some rebelled and some refused to accept it’s sweet caress,

But those of us who did that day, received the Love of Jesus.

It is my prayer that you will know when Glory comes to town

It may come to you soft and sweet, so listen for it’s sound.

In Loving Memory of "JJ"

My sins were washed away

My life began that day

He filled my heart with love

And I praise my God above

Everything was gained and nothing lost

I see it in the shadow of the old rugged cross

I look upon His face

I feel His warm embrace

His love surrounds me

Oh my precious Lord I see

All was gained and nothing lost

I see it in the shadow of the old rugged cross

By grace the Lord saved me

Gave me life and set me free

Why did He love me so

Was it so I would know that

all was gained and nothing lost.

I see it in the shadow of the old rugged cross.

The following poem was written by Anna Hainline. Please enjoy the Godly message that will speak to your soul through Anna's writing.

A Sunset Prayer

Creator of my soul and of all of those around me,

Lover of all mankind, giver of loving kindness

Who does not leave me alone in my trials,

Who lifts up my soul to be with you

Where hope and comfort abound.

Your child who seeks your presence, who often disobeys

and wanders in every direction, who cries out,

"Father, direct me and help me to find my way."

Be my Holy companion and the Savior of my soul.

Stay steady for me when I waver as I reach for

your hand to take hold.

I know not what evidence lies here

in the life of your wandering child,

that would tell others you live inside me

and that Jesus is meek and mild.

I know you are leading me home, Lord, through

paths unseen by me, until you gently lead me

through them, and I catch a glimpse of what is to be.

It's there, Lord, just like you promised and told

by the prophets of old.

Where love shines brighter than diamonds,

And your Spirit is purer than gold.

--Anna Hainline
