Faithful Lyrics and Poems From the Beach 10

Faith, Art, writing and learning are Tim’s passions. Tim loves working in education. He has a BS in Psychology from Albright College.

I am primarily a whimsical visual artist but like all creatives i choose many other outlets to keep my creatives juices. Hey let’s face it I’d like to be painting all the time but time and logistics hold me back. So when I have free time without a drawing pad or paints around I take out my phone and write.

Some of my musings turn into stories while others turn onto poems and song lyrics.

I have once again assembled a selection of lyrics and poems, some old, some new but all built around my faith in God. My hope and prayer is that each one brings you a glimpse into a life built around having faith in God. Until next time, stay strong and faithful in the Lord.

Dreams

A poem which comes from the idea we all have dreams in life most of which never see the life of day. God is the God of dreamers yetnhe knows which dreams will benefit us and which will not.

I’m always

thinking about things

Which can’t be

Dreaming, dreams

I know I will never see

Living with my head

In the clouds

One of these days

I have to come back down

Leave my coke and a smile

World behind

Look for for a truth

I’m not sure I want to find

Dreaming dreaming

Always dreaming

Deep inside I can see

My dreams

I’m always looking

A better way of life

One without

All the worry and strife

But just when I think it’s

The dawn of a new day

I open my eyes

The dreams all fade away

Dreams all fade away

I’m always

thinking about things

Which can’t be

Dreaming, dreams

I know I will never see

Living with my head

In the clouds

Rescue Me

A simple song lyrics which is more a prayer.

Rescue me

Rescue me

Come oh Lord, come oh Lord

Come oh Lord

And rescue me

Rescue me from the life I’m livin

Rescue me let me know I’m forgivin

Rescue me

Rescue me

Come oh Lord, come oh Lord

Come oh Lord

And rescue me

Generous

We’ve all got to learn to be a little more generous.

You can give

Without loving

but

You cannot love

Without giving

One who gives

Freely

Is generous

With

All they have

Their time

Their money

Their love

Though they give

Much away

Yet they

Grow richer

Cause

As love gives

Love gets

More in return

Another

Withholds what

They should give

Especially love

So

Gets nothing

In return

So they live

A life of want

Seeking

More time

More money

More love

Yet cause

They lived

Without loving

They find love

Hard to find

Hard to find

It’s Not About Me

Lyrics about pointing people In the right direction.

It’s not about me

It’s not about me

It’s not about me

Oh Lord

It’s not about me

It’s all about you

It’s

All

About

You

I’ve got to learn

Wherever I may go

It’s you people must see

It’s you people must know

Cause we’re your spoken words

We’re your loving deeds

It is through us people know

It is through us people see

It’s not about me

Oh Lord

It’s not about me

It’s all about you

It’s

All

About

You

All about you

God Can Do

A poem based on the idea God can most anything.

God can do

What God will do

When God wants to

Nothing can stop Him

Not me, not you

God can move the mountains

God can part the sea

God can help the lame to walk

God can make the blind to see

God can do

What God will do

When God wants to

Nothing can stop him

Not me, not you

God can bring the dead to life

God can set the captive free

God can heal a broken heart

God can calm the storm and sea

God can do

What God will do

When God wants to

Nothing can stop Him

Not me, Not you

Deeds

A poem built around the idea what you do must be done for the Lord

What speaks louder than words

Is when words

are done with deeds

It is how we show others

our love

how we meet people’s needs

Passing out acts of kindness

where you go

To those we know

And don’t yet know

Showing them the love

Jesus gave to us

Sharing His Word

As they learn to trust

In what they see

Coming from our hearts

Deeds done not for praise or for glory

But in silence, only God and you know

These are words which speak loudly

Deeds which speak louder than words

Is when words

are done with deeds

It is how we show others

our love

how we meet people’s needs

Fear

A quick few words inspired by my pastor’s sermon.

Living a life

Of fear

Trapped within

Your own minds

Reacting to

What may come

Not

What will come

Fear

Which robs you

Which causes you

To stretch your faith

In God

Till you think His word

Untrue

But

God does not give us

A sprite of fear

In times of trouble

Draw Him near

He’ll give you rest

Ease your fears.
