Called

Called to be,
But be what?
Called to do,
But do what?
And when
Will I know
What at my call is?

And how do I know
That I have heard clearly?

Love is the key,
Love is the foundation
Of it all..
On God's love
For all people
Is our faith based.

Do We

Do we let God be visible in ouur lives?
Do we really see God?
Do we let the outsider into God's love?
Do we know how to respond to God's invitation?
Do we really want to be healed?
Do we let God reach down and touch us?
Will we learn to see and follow Jesus?
Do we thank God for the gifts we have been given?

Waiting for us in love!?

What are our goals?
Do we lst God
Help usi  in our lives?
Is Jesus in the center
Of our lives?

Freedom

Freedom :
     From fear,
     From hate.

Freedom :
     From oppression,
     From slavery.

Freedom :  
     In God's name,
     In love.

Dear Lord,
Whole.
After so long
Of fighting
The brokenness within,
I am whole
Because
When I finally
Turnsd wholly to you
You touched me
And made ms
Whole..

Do We

Do we know how to respond to God?
Can we hear God calling us?
Are we staying in touch with God and the church?
Will we respond to God's call or just ignore the voice of God when He calls?
And do we know that God is talking to us?

Help Me

Please help me,  God.
I feel overwhelmed
By all that is  happening
And I need your help 
To cope with it all. 
Please stay ;ear
And give me strength.

Weather

Raging rivers,
Nafure gone wild.
Are we reaping the fruits
Of what we have done?

Strong storms,
Nature gone mad,
We have exploited the earth,
Is this the revenge?

Winds howl,
Nature's gone insane,
Have we taken too much
From the world around?

The Church

Is the church loving itself? 
Is the church loving others?
Is the church loving its neighbors?
Does the church go out and help others?
Is t+the church serving its neighbors?
Is the church remembering that God loves all people?

Prepare

Prepare the people way
And watch
For God comes
Unexpectedly.
Prepare the way
And let
All the world know
All about
God's love.

Do Not

Do not turn away,
See me.
Do not walk away,
Feed me.
Do not ignore me,
Clothe me.
For I am also
God's child.

God Loves

God loves me!
Shout it out aloud :
God loves me!
And I do not
Have to do a thing
To gain that love,
For God loves me
As I am
Right now!

Unique

I am me,
Unique
In all the world.
There is no one else
Quite like me,
For no one else
Quite has
My combination
Of experiences
And genetics.
So here I am,
See me
And accept me
As the special person
That  I am.

The Love of God

The love of God,
Ahh,  how full
And so complete
That we cannot know
The whole of it.
No words of ours
Can begin
To describe
All of that love
For all of us.

Learn to Love

Can we all learn to love one another and accept each other as a child of God?  Or is it already too late for us?  We make too much of differences  between people.  And there is the problem - we make of differences a reason for hatred when hatred should have no place in us.   Can we learn to replace hate with love and redeem the world?

Love is Ours

Love is ours
To have
But only
If we
Give it away.
So come
With me
And let us all
Walk hand in hand
In love
And a world
Redeem.

What Does Jesus Mean to You?

What does Jesus mean to you,  asked a friend of mine one day.
Is He real  or just a dream, and if He's real,
What does He say?
Does He speak and do you listen?
Does He really hear your prayers?
If you're feeling down and lonely, do you think He really cares?

If He's real, there are so many,  how could He have time for you?
So I told  him of my Jesus and I'm sharing it with you.

Chorus :
He's a friend in time of trouble,
He's a shoulder when I cry,
He's a light in time of darkness,
When the road is rough and high,
He's a rugged Rocky Mountain,
He's a mighty rolling sea,
He's a kind and gentle Master,
Yes, He's everything to me.

What does Jesus mean to you,  I am asking you today.
Is He real or just a dream?
Does He listen when you pray?

Yes,  He listens and He answers,
And He cares about your needs.
If you listen,  He is  calling,
Go go Him and let Him lead.

Chorus (twice)
Lyrics and music by Jerry Browning

Help

Oh dear God, 
I need your heelp
This day. 
There's a strorm
Brewing around ms
And I don't feel safe.
Come to me now
And help me
Find peace and safety
In the middle
Of my storm.

As i look around,
I  see Jesus
Standing by my side,
Waiting to hold me
In His arms, 
And ready to keep
Me safe from the storms
Of my life.

Praising God

Be proud of who we are because
God made us as we are.
God blesses us as we are.
God works in our lives to bring us to love.
God is inclusive and loves all people!!

Friday, August 12, 2016

Who are we?

I am who I am, I am who God made me to be.
Do we know who we really are?
Who are we trying to impress?
Are we willing to be associated with Christ?
Are we threatened by what others believe?
Can we shed our bad reputation?
Do we acknowledge Christ appeared first to a woman?
Do we know who our leaders are?
Do we help people learn to trust?
Do we show God's love for all to all we meet?

Witnesses

Do we follow Jesus because of what He did or who He is?
Are we true witnesses?
Do we testify about what we know?
Do we share with others?
Do we know our voice matters?
Do we tell always about God's love for all?

Wednesday, August 10, 2016

Who Are You?

Be who you are
And do not let others
Tell you anything
About who you are
For God created you
As you are
Right to now!

Family!

All God's children
Together in one place,
Not different any more,
But all one.
In God's love for all
And all are part
Of the family,
Here all are welcome
And loved!

Prisoner

What isolates us?
What did we do wrong?
How does our health isolate us?
Have we been falsely accused of anything?

Sunday, August 7, 2016

Freedom

How "Christian" are we?
What is holy?
Can we ever be good enough?
Can we do right ever?
Are we right now?
Are we listening for the voice of God?
Yoke of God =LOVE
Are we free to love all people?
What are   our  "yokes “?

Saturday, August 6, 2016

Living

Who matters [the most to us?
Do we have regrets about anything?
Do we let material things rule?
Are we transformed on the inside?
Do we let God bless us?

Friday, August 5, 2016

Closets

Can we learn something new?
Can we learn to  walk in God's love?
Do we listen for God?
Can we come out of our closets?
Do we trust God completely?
Are we ready to leave our closets?
What are we afraid of?

Thursday, August 4, 2016

Forgiveness

How often do we turn away from God?
How often do we get stuck and forget to turn to God?
Do we let God is and forgive?
Do we forgive others?

Wednesday, August 3, 2016

Troubled Soul

What is troubling us at a deeper level?
What do we really need for contentment?
What are we striving for??
Do we knew things are not enough?
Do we waste what we have because heart, soul and mind are not together?
Do we know that will not leave us alone?

Tuesday, August 2, 2016

My One and Only

What is our throne?
What do we keep hold of?
Can we let go of our fears?
Can we let God take control?
Will we let God rule our lives?
Who is on our throne?
What do you believe?
Can we really follow Jesus?
Will we go where Jesus leaxs?
Who do we trust?
Is our trust strong enough?
Do we know the One who calls us Beloved?

Worthy?

Don't see me,
Don't talk to me,
Leave me alone.
For I am not worthy
Of your attention
God cannot love me.
But comes back,
An answer,
You always
Are  worthy
Of my love
For I am the one
Who created you.
