unfinished

in my spare time, i write. or at least try to. i know i'm not good at writing. yet. but i trust that if i commit this craft to God, He'll prosper it. Here are two of my attempts...

THIS BATTLE IS NOT MINE

God sends His angels to rally by my side.
He is my Captain, my Comrade, and my Guide.
I may be weak, but He is strong
I dare not trust my own
I should have known
This battle is not mine to fight alone.

-o-

I KNOW THE WAY YOU TAKE

He says, I know the way you take
Every bend, every turn, every thorn
You are never alone.
With every step you take,
You'll be cleansed, purified, purged and refined
When it's through
You will come forth as gold.

-o-

they're not done yet, but I hope to finish them soon, with God's help of course. i have a faith that whatever (or whoever, for that matter) lacks, God will fill up and make whole.

i'll post the finished version up here, so come back and see it...

All We God's Children

The youth in my church are very dear to my heart. They are like a second family to me. We have been through a lot as a group. After all these years, they are now to me like brothers and sisters, and the dearest of friends. I love them a whole lot because they give meaning to the phrase "family of God". I value them because it is not always that I can find friends with whom I can build a Christ-centered relationship.
For the youth at church, thank you so much for the times together, good and bad. I hope to make more memories of you, and of us. I will keep thanking God for you, and praying that He will see each of us through.

I wrote this for us all.

ALL WE GOD'S CHILDREN

We came together, different we may be,
Yet we lift our voices in a single melody.
Here we stand together, a family in God.
As brothers and sisters, one in Jesus' blood.

Still we stand together in a friendship rare and true,
Bound by truth and spirit, love and service too.
Our joys are all doubled, our sorrows cut in half.
We make a little heaven, by our friendship, by our love.

All we God's children bound by His love,
Born of His Spirit, bought with His blood.
We will grow ever upward, walking in the light.
We are near one to another, when we all are near to Christ.

While waiting for our Father, our commission we'll fulfill.
We'll work side by side, obey His perfect will.
We'll overcome together, though it be flame or flood.
We'll help one another grow in the love of God.

And we'll be standing together before the throne of God.
We will walk hand in hand on the heavenly sod.

-o-

I hope you like it, and may we live the life of the blessed...

God loves all of you and I do too.

Thank You Father

Thank You Father
For when I doubt, You still love me.
Thank You Father
For when I trust, You never let me down.
Thank You Father
When I obey, You lead and guide me.
Thank You
For when I stray, You seek me and take me into your arms again.

Father, I can't thank You enough
For Your grace and perfect love.
My life is all I have to offer for Thee.
Take it Father, how little it may be.

And Father I thank You for Calvary.
Thank You for Jesus who died for me.
I can never repay You, I have nothing in me.
So thank You, Father, that Jesus came for free.
