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.
