Faith And Life Must Go Together
Some people think faith is reserved for Sunday morning or any time you enter into a building to celebrate God and all He has done for us. Faith however goes hand and hand with life. The Bible tells us we must, “walk by faith not by sight.” This means faith is an integral part of our entire life. Faith helps us get through our worst days and helps us celebrate the good ones. Faith Is at the core of each of these poems. I hope you enjoy them. Until the next time trust God and remain faithful.
Counting
We live in a culture
Which loves to count
Our calories
Our pounds
Our money
But one thing
We forget to count
Is the amount
Of blessings God
Passes our way
Each and every day
So count your blessings
Fancy
The fanciest car
The fanciest boat
The fanciest clothes
Even the fanciest spouse
Can’t replace true love
The fanciest job
The fanciest pay
The fanciest gifts
Even the fanciest house
Can’t replace true joy
Cause the source of life
And true love and joy
Come from only one place
A life rendered to God
A Beautiful Cage
A beautiful cage
Our bodies
Where
Our soul feels trapped
Seeking release
Into a better place
Where joy will abound
And peace
Will occupy our hearts
But our soul must wait
Until the day
It will be set free
Til then we must find rest
In the only place we can

A Crazy Faith
Lord grant me a crazy faith
A crazy
Crazy
Crazy
Faith
Which is not afraid to speak of
The truth within my heart
Show there is no longer any doubt
About whom I serve
A crazy faith
Which speaks out
Maybe gives a shout
When the times are tough
And the going gets rough
Where true peace is found
Lord grant me a crazy faith
A crazy
Crazy

The Battle
The battle
The battle
Comes to you
Each and every sun
It will continue
Till your days are done
You must be prepared
To fight your Goliaths
As David prepared
By putting all your faith
In the one
Who chose the stones
In the one
Who guided David’s hand
In the one
Who rolled the stone away
Leading us into those
Glorious days
Glorious days
God
The only one who is able
Fight and win
The Goliath battles
We find ourselves in
Each and every sun

Somebody Has Too
If not me, if not you
Somebody has to go tell others
They’re looking a bit in need
For all the people are crying out
All been complaining they’re tired and worn
They say they want new words to cling to
So please get up and go, run about
And give the people good news
Somebody has to go
If not me, if not you, then who
Day By Day
Thought the battle was over
When I came to christ
Thought I could sit back
And breeze through life
Took only a few days
To see I was so wrong
The war may be won
But inside the battle
Rages on, Rages on
Day by day
Day by day
I’m fightin’ battles
Until glory
Battles will not stop
Cause the devil wants
To take me down
Whether I like it or not
The world is alluring
If I let it call out my name
It can draw you away
But christ stood up
To the world
With his power
So can you today
Day by day
Day by day
Were fightin’ battles
Until glory
Battles that will not stop
Cause the devil wants
To take us down
Like it or not
Why?
Why believe in something
You cannot see
You cannot hear
You cannot touch
It all a matter of faith
Faith helps you see
God is truly there
Faith helps you hear
God’s whisper in the air
Faith helps you to touch
God’s invisible right hand
Faith helps you to understand
Why
