The Better Not Bitter Road

 

Sure as the sun rises in the East 

Life comes at you like a beast. 

It’s up to us to make a choice

For that is how we keep our voice. 

Each circumstance creates a fork 

Choose the right, don’t be a dork. 

If you choose the path well trod

It surely won’t lead back to God. 

The path least taken is not fun 

But it will lead back to God’s Son. 

The better path will bring you joy

The bitter path is Satan’s ploy. 

Life’s about these different roads

The one we choose creates our loads. 

Choose the road that Christ is on

For he will help you carry on. 

Let Your Light So Shine

 

When we choose to do what’s right 

Our light will shine to light the night. 

Why do we want our light to shine? 

I want Christ to say “You are mine”

When we choose the evil path 

The pay we get is not good math. 

Choosing evil kills our light

And only Christ can make it right. 

When we cover up our light

We walk in darkness without sight. 

When in darkness we can’t lead 

For we can’t see the God we need. 

Please don’t hide your precious light

Make it strong with all your might. 

This light you have will help someone 

And guide them back to God’s own son. 

You Are Loved.

 

You stood in heaven long ago

Longing for when you’d get to go.

Father gave you your last embrace

“Its time you started your own race.”

His pure love was sent with you

For you to share, for it is true.

As you came to live your life

You soon find out there’s lots of strife.

Father’s love is in your heart

And he will never from you part.

The key is to remember love

And that it comes from God above.

Love’s a power that never ends

It just for you and never bends.

Pay no heed to the evil one.

He lost the war and Jesus won.

There are so many who love you

With a love so pure and true.

Hang on to that truth divine

“You are my child and you are mine.”

New beginnings

Today begins another year 
A year of faith not of fear. 
Another chance for a better me
To follow Christ, and be set free.
