Faithful Poems From the Beach Vol 4
Timothy is a Christian who enjoys creating visual art and writing. He has a B.S. in Psychology.
Here I go again. It’s been a while since I published an edition of faithful poems. The poems I’ve written here have all been inspired by something I’ve heard. Maybe it was a snippet in a sermon or something might have said to me which sparked some lines of words.
Wherever they came from I hope you enjoy reading them and they give you a little inspiration to brighten your day. Until the next time stay strong and faithful.
Leading Others Along
You call me to lead others of the faith
In a better knowledge of your saving grace
I have known for so many, many years
But Lord I don’t know if I’m really the man
To help others further understand the plan
You have for the lives of those you’ve called
I barely know know how to get through
The life which you have called me too
The steps I need to take each new day
Still Lord you call me to lead, lead
Help others plant their own seeds
But I don’t know the words to speak
You call me to lead others of the faith
In a better knowledge of your saving grace
I have known for so many, many years
I guess I’ll do what I always seek to do
Pray for you to guide me on through
And To give me the words I need to say
It’s how I live my life, how I live each day
Taking Life For Granted
Don’t take your life for granted
It may quickly get stripped away,
Leaving you feelin so, so empty,
Hopin, wishin for those better days
Remember each day is not a given,
Today, tomorrow may be the last
You’re up one minute, down the next
Gotta prepare for what comes to pass
Live a life not seeking another’s praise
But in quiet service to another’s needs
In this way life will be much more joyful
And you’ll see fruit from all your deeds
Don’t take your life for granted
It may quickly get stripped away,
Leaving you feelin so, so empty,
Hopin, wishin for those better days
Life is a sum of what you do and say
Remember each day is not a given
So use the time you have left wisely
In order to make sure you’re rightly livin
Dream Away My Days
I see a different life
From the one I live
I see a person so different
Then who I am
And as I awaken
I just can't deny
Some days I wish I were
Under a different sky
I once believed
That I could run
From all that was behind
To a place of green fields
Where everything was so fine
Someday I know
My wish will come true
Til then I must live each day
As a day closer to you
The past is gone
Still, I wish with all I am
I could leave the past alone
Now
My heart cries out for a change
I try not to be the same
As the world around
Some days I win
Some days I lose
But in the end who I am
Is who I choose
Drawn away time after time
In my heart at times I wonder
As I dream
When will come the day
I no longer wander, all will be true
As true as it seems
Til then I must live
My reborn life
As I dream, As I dream, As I dream
The Closer You Get
The closer you get to the end of life
As you’ve watched the miles roll by
It is hard not to think, not to reflect
Of all the things you did and the whys
You look in the rear view, see your life
The highs and lows of the behind
The people you loved over the miles
The friends for a season or a time
The closer you get to the end of life
As you’ve watched the miles roll by
It is hard not to think, not to reflect
Of all the things you did and the whys
Life is just the sum of all the memories
You store deep down inside your mind
The ones which bring you some comfort
The ones which carry you through time
So the closer you get to the end of life
And you have fewer miles up on ahead
Reflect on the miles behind, all the times
You touched a heart by what you did or said
I Can Talk the Talk
I can talk the talk
Like the rest
But will my heart
Pass the test
Can I truly say
Deep down inside
I holy walk on
On the Lord’s side
On the Lord’s side
On the Lord’s side
A heart built for service
A love deep down inside
I know my life
Is not what it
Should be
It holds me back
From what I could be
I need to control
My thoughts
Before they strangle me
So deep down inside
I can always be
On the Lord’s side
On the Lord’s side
A heart built for service
A love deep down inside

Deeply Rooted
Deeply rooted in the word
Deeply rooted in the word
Deeply rooted in the Word of God
Unless your heart is deeply rooted
In the rich, rich soil of God’s Word
Your faith will not grow and blossom
Into the bountiful fruit used of the Lord
Deeply rooted in the word
Deeply rooted in the word
You must be
Deeply rooted in the Word of God
In order to survive
The winds of change
You must be
Deeply rooted in the word
Deeply rooted in the word
Deeply rooted in the Word of God
Unless your heart is deeply rooted
In the rich, rich soil of God’s Word
Your faith will not grow and blossom
Into the bountiful fruit used of the Lord
Deeply rooted in the Word
