SIMPLE TRUTHS

SIMPLE TRUTHS
Life is not forever 
Every life will end in death if Jesus tarries
Live life to the fullest each day
Remember that death is coming
Faster than you know
As surely as day follows night
Death is on the way

Don’t treat each day as your last
Live each day knowing you will one day die
Do what matters
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Let go of yourself and see the need people have
Meet that need
It will energize you, the Lord will see you thru

Death is not forever
If Christ has your life
Death will result in life
Eternal life, lasting beyond forever
The Lord will be with you 
When death rears its ugly head
Christ will reach out to you and real life will begin

Clay Corvin    5.12.12

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I want riches, friends, the good life: what do I do?
Seek first His kingdom & His righteousness
All these things will be given to you as well
I’m all alone, no one cares:
Jesus died for you that you might have life
It’s too hard:
He will wipe away every tear
Don’t let life toss you aside,
Give your heart to Jesus and He will abide
You will never be alone
Where ever you are will be home
No one can destroy you
Nothing can take you away from Jesus
Keep the Son in your eyes,
Darkness will not overwhelm you
Take Him all of your cares
Jesus will take them from you and heal you
Every day with Jesus,
Is sweeter than the day before
Let Jesus have your heart
You will never have a broken heart
Tell Him your troubles
Jesus will walk thru the fire with you
The Lord be with you
The Lord be with your spirit

THE FUTURE

The Future is anchored in the present
We seek to do and be
Reaching out to dreams and visions
Filled with ernest desire
Lord what should I do?

Live your life based on God's rule
Knowing His commandments
Writing them on your heart
Using them to evaluate life
Love the Lord with all of your heart

Chaos comes calling so often
His Word gives me strength for today
Building a solid foundation
That I might live with Him
Letting the world know I belong to Christ

Joy will walk with me
In good times and bad 
Riches will overflow my life
Prayer will change me
Bringing me closer to Jesus

The choice is mine
Do the next right thing
Jesus is Lord
Christ be Lord of my life
I surrender to YOU

The Convert : G.K. Chesterton "The Collected Poems of G. K. Chesterton (1927)"

The Convert

BY G. K. CHESTERTON
After one moment when I bowed my head
And the whole world turned over and came upright,
And I came out where the old road shone white.
I walked the ways and heard what all men said,
Forests of tongues, like autumn leaves unshed,
Being not unlovable but strange and light;
Old riddles and new creeds, not in despite
But softly, as men smile about the dead

The sages have a hundred maps to give
That trace their crawling cosmos like a tree,
They rattle reason out through many a sieve
That stores the sand and lets the gold go free:
And all these things are less than dust to me
Because my name is Lazarus and I live.
