Not My Choice

Feeling the warmth of the sun
Sitting amongst Gods’ beauty that abounds
The rivers, the birds the wind in the trees
Making music with their God given sounds
Like everything around me, I am here
Because He wants me to be
Reflecting on that wonderful day
When He opened my eyes to see
I was a lost sinner without any hope
Till that day I heard His voice
Salvation was mine when He called me
It was His will, not my choice.

Born Again Christmas

My face glowed bright as the time drew near
A warm feeling within me of wonderful cheer
Watching and waiting for the first signs of snow
My mind in a dance, happy thoughts all aglow

I remember thoughts of sadness also on those Christmases past
That the feeling of joy it just couldn’t last
I felt like something was missing and just not right
As I sat there and thought on Christmas night

Now those feelings have changed along with my heart
I am humbled and thankful with my brand new start
I am happy and joyful and now I can sing
I am a child again celebrating the birth of a King.

Wildflowers

A quiet walk in the countryside
Amongst where the wildflowers have grown
The sweetest aroma, most beautiful flowers
More amazing than you have ever known
Though just a hint of the aroma and beauty
That is produced where a seed was sown
In your heart when you came to know Him
Where God’s word was planted, now grown

Not Keep It In

I am joyful with my salvation
My relationship with Him is strong
My heart an instrument of praise
I lift it up to Him in song
Oh to know the Savior
To bask in what He has done
Yet not a moment more should I hesitate
My work has just begun
For to watch a world that is sick and dying
Doomed because of their sin
Knowing the One that can heal them
Would be letting Him down to keep it in.

Not Fade

To look upon the mountains
Look upon the tallest trees
Realize what a magnificent God
He who made all of these
Though wonderful and majestic
The stars at night,blue sky of day
The beauty of this world
Will all fade away
Yet my God how joyful
To look within and see
This new life You have given
Will last for all eternity.
