His Infinite Atonement!

 

Long before anyone was born

We stood in council with our Lord.

One brother sought to be our God

God chose Jesus, we did applaud.


All the prophets spoke of Him

His mercy, grace, would never dim.

All who followed His commands

Wouldn’t suffer all that law demands.


God then would send His only son

Born to a virgin, the only one.

He grew up teaching all he knew

Of how to live and what to do.


His love of truth hardened hearts

From old ways many would not part.

Many chose His heavy road

Yoked with Christ to bear the load.


On to the olive press he went

To complete why He was sent.

Suff’ring all for you and me

He knew that’s how it had to be.


Nailed to a cross on Calvary

“My God, why did you forsake me?”

His mission done, His body spent

To His father, He now went.


They placed His body in a tomb

It now became a sacred room.

Mother earth cried violently

Her creator, gone was He.


Sunday came as it always does.

An empty tomb, now it was.

Our Savior rose on the third day.

His Atonement paved the way.


Never can we comprehend

That what He did will never end.

Grateful we should ever be

So we will ever live with Thee.

What Would I Ask Of Him


For Him who can do anything 

I ponder what I’d ask of Him

Would I ask for health or fame

Or only that my light won’t dim. 


My children always fill my mind

Should I ask that they be healed?

So many questions fill my mind 

I only want for them a shield. 


Life can be like broken glass

A total loss it seems to men.  

Yet as His child, we need only ask

He’ll put the pieces back again. 


One thing he wants from you and me

A broken heart and spirit contrite. 

That is the only way to grow 

Our humble hearts seek out His light. 


When all is said and all is done

To be with Him is my desire.

For nothing else is of import 

So that my heart burns as a fire.

His Arm Is Sufficient

 

When you came to earth to dwell
You knew that you’d be put through hell. 
But one thing that we knew for sure
The Savior is the perfect cure. 

Growing up did not seem fair
It often felt like no one cared. 
Looking back it’s all so clear
The Savior handled all my fear. 

Children bring the greatest joy
They’re fragile like a precious toy. 
They test you to the uttermost 
And never, ever let you coast. 

Trials come and trials go
Life’s never easy, never slow. 
One thing’s for certain and for sure
God loves you with a love so pure. 

You’ll never make it on your own 
Because some seeds were never sown. 
Just don’t focus on the bad
Seek for Jesus to be glad. 

If you’re faithful to the end 
Stay true to God and never bend. 
He’ll be there even when you fall 
His arm’s sufficient for us all!

Undo the Doom


Doomscrolling never satisfies 

It hides the truth among the lies. 

Before you know it you’re in deep

It seems as though you are asleep. 


Endless drama keeps us fixed

On worthless garbage till we’re nixed. 

It seems as though it never ends

Down the rabbit hole it sends. 


If you want to scroll through things

God’s word will peace and safety bring. 

It may not be the thing to do

But God’s rewards will see you through. 


Focus on the good out there 

There’s good to find, to just be fair. 

Pull yourself out of the dirt

And no longer will you hurt. 

Reel Them In


They’re little movies we call reels

They aim to make you never feel

A few seconds is all it takes 

Before your soul begins to break


The hook is baited with a lie

“It’s no big deal you have to try”.

Before you know it it’s too late 

The hook is in, the pain is great. 


It’s seems as though all is lost

I want my freedom at all costs. 

I’m helpless as he reels me in 

“How did all of this begin “


The only one who sets us free

Waits for us, yes you and me. 

His arms are waiting, open wide

He calms the water and the tide. 


He cuts the line, no longer bound

We feel His love cause we’ve been found. 

The hook is taken from our soul

No more I’ll pay the devil’s toll. 


We must deny the shiny things 

For pain is all they really bring. 

Focus on the Savior’s face

It’s there you’ll find true lasting grace. 


Stay far away from waters dark

And keep your eye on the true mark. 

This is the key to conquer sin

And never let him reel you in.

I See You

 

From my throne in heaven above
My heart’s completely full of love. 
I whisper softly in your ear
Words that change you if you’ll hear. 


The world’s loud voice will drown me out 
Because I’ll never scream and shout. 
Remove yourself from evil ways 
To hear my voice and with me stay. 


My love for you will never end
You are my lamb I’ll ever tend. 
You have no secrets from my view 
I see your life and all you do. 


You are my child forever more
I have so much for you in store. 
Give your heart to me to heal
I promise you the greatest deal. 


All I have is yours to keep
I’ll save you from the darkest deep. 
Don’t ever give in to the dark

Just keep your eye on me, the mark.

All life Is Precious


The lease was signed right on the line
Everything seemed so very fine.
I paid my rent, was never late
Yet soon I’d know my evil fate.
Without warning they came for me
And pulled me from my home you see.
They said they could remove me hence
Even though I paid my pence.
There is no logic in this sense
It’s all completely just nonsense.
What happened to my right to live
I’ll never get the chance to give.
My life meant nothing in their eyes
I was not wanted just despised
These babes are straight from Gods own arm
And we must never do them harm!!

Flaxen Cord


The adversary is not dumb

He’s been around for many years. 

He sometimes seems like your best friend

He wants you just to live in fear. 


The lies he tells are very good

They hide the truth of pain they cause. 

If we choose that wicked path 

We’ll know more pain than ever was. 


The first line of a flaxen cord 

Can be broken with such ease. 

But as it winds around us tight

The devil will not hear your pleas. 


Before you know it, it’s too late

The cord is now a chain bound tight. 

The blood He shed for me and you

Can break the chain and make it right.   


There is no power on this great earth

That supersedes the Holy One

All that Father did for us 

He did so we would seek His Son!


With the chains of sin removed

We’re free to move towards Gods pure light. 

We see all things as God intends

For His love for us is ever bright. 

Seek out the Root


In the forest stood a tree

Reaching high as I could see. 

Each branch protected us from heat 

As the sun upon us beat. 


Each branch is part of the great whole

Without the roots it has no soul.

We are as branches to the root 

Without the roots the point is moot. 


The branch will never feed it's kin

The root is where the food begins. 

So keep your eyes fixed on the root

So life will not be such a brute!


Christ is the root of all good things

His love for us is what he brings. 

Always keep your eyes fixed fast

Upon The Lord and you will last.

Is It Too Much To Ask?

 

What you ask is far too much
I can’t do all of that and such.
It’s just too hard to do it all
I’m sure I’ll only try and fall.

Oh sweet child don’t ever fear
For I am always very near.
Don’t ever think you’re all alone
For all your pains I did atone.

As you put your trust in me
Your eyes will open and you’ll see.
I walk beside you every day
That I may show you Heaven’s way.

I only want your tender heart
To follow me and that’s a start.
In time your heart will be like mine
And with our Father spend all time.

Put the natural man aside
And join the Father at his side.
This choice you make may seem absurd
Because the world wants to be heard.

As you resist the one who fell
From Heaven’s glory down to hell.
You’ll find a strength not of your own
And reap the fruits of what you’ve sown.

Then the day will finally come
Great for many, not for some.
You’ll then receive your blessings sure
And become like God clean and pure.

LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!!

 Let me make this perfectly clear!  I HAVE NO DESIRE TO PRESERVE OUR DEMOCRACY…Because that is NOT WHAT WE HAVE!!  WE ARE A REPUBLIC!!  Everyone who says our democracy is at stake is really saying, “Our majority rule is at stake, our power is at stake.” Make no mistake we are at war against evil forces and there are those who want to make the rest of us their slaves!!  So get off of your backside and go vote and protect our CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!!  I for one will be no one’s slave or give up the freedoms God gave to us, and our forefathers died to preserve!!


LONG LIVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC!!

Words of the Prophets


Twice a year they teach us truth

Things that God wants us to know. 

We must prepare our hearts to feel

The spirit as it starts to glow. 


The words we hear can pierce our hearts 

And change us from our evil ways. 

God’s prepared each one of us

To hear the words the prophet says. 


Let us heed all that is taught 

That close to God we can become.

If we’ll listen with intent

We’ll be prepared when Jesus comes.

Blessed are the Peacemakers

 

Many thousand years ago

The Savior taught this precious truth

We’ll become His children dear 

We were taught this from our youth. 


In a world so full of strife

We must choose kindness in our life

Choosing to be good to all 

Ensures that we will never fall. 


We’ll find peace as we choose Christ 

For the world has lost its way. 

Kindness is what we should seek

For that is what I always pray. 


Kindness is the better choice

Let’s always choose a calming voice. 

Being kind is all it takes

To help someone not to break. 


Choose to be a shining light 

So others turn to God in love. 

If we do this simple act 

Rewards await in Heav’n above.
