Well, we have to start somewhere so here is one of my works. I hope you like it.


As The Spirit Leads


As the spirit leads, I shall walk the narrow way
Holding on to my convictions, growing stronger every day

Placing my life in God’s hands, forever in his care
Always trusting Jesus, I know he will be there

As the spirit leads me
Wherever it may be
I will go with a joyful heart
Knowing that I’m free

As the spirit leads me
I know I can’t go wrong
I will praise his name forever
Lift my voice in song

I will never worry, of any of my needs
For I will always follow, as the spirit leads

My first submitted work, I am so proud. Thanks Angela!
I was invited to add a title, so here goes.

RAIN

The rain outside
matches
The rain inside

Raindrops are cold
but
Teardrops are hot

The ground gets wet
and
So does my pillow

Continue to rain
help
Ease the pain.

Well here is another of mine, hope you like it!

TELL ME GOD DOES NOT EXIST


Watch the sun rise and set, and tell me God does not exist

Look at the fall leaves, and tell me God does not exist

Hear the music of the wind and the rain,
and tell me God does not exist

Listen to a baby's cry, and tell me God does not exist

See a beautiful work of art, and tell me God does not exist

Feel the touch of a loved one, and tell me God does not exist

Smell the ocean's essence, and tell me God does not exist

Watch the growth of children in your life,
and tell me God does not exist

Talk with a friend, and tell me God does not exist

Experience love, and tell me God does not exist

Breathe in the perfume of a rose,
and tell me God does not exist

Taste the last bite of a food you enjoy,
and tell me God does not exist

Tell me a tale of big bangs and coincidence,
and really try to tell me that God does not exist

My second submission, I am so glad that I am able to display these great works here! This is from one of my best friends in the whole world, David Scruggs. Without further adieu......

The Vision

Inside of me there is a vision of how my life should be

All of my hopes and all of my dreams get life from what I see

Whatever is seen in my mind’s eye with faith will come about

Visualize, dream, and meditate, then let the Word flow out

For if you have faith, then you shall say, and it shall come to be

But you must believe that you receive to have those things you see

Now hear the word and let faith come, make a conscious decision

Speak only the word, speak it in faith to bring forth your vision

After a long wait I finally have received another submission for my page. I am happy to introduce to you a great sister in Christ, Julie Purdy. Thank you Julie for sending it. Here is her great poem titled:

THE ONLY WAY

Together and separately,
As Christians, we pray.
That our churches always be more
than an open door,
That while showing our love and faith to our LORD.
we pass this along to our fellow neighbor
That as Christians, we'll always show honor and praise
in HIS divine will, make it through another day

When tears fall like rain,
Only HE knows our pain
For HE gave HIS only SON
to all who ask is blessed salvation
Our FATHER effortlessly looks on our face
unceasingly offering a kind, warm embrace
Because GOD has forgiven of all our sins
OH GLORY, we need never look back where we've been!

As HIS new found children we grow in HIS love
While HE lovingly watches from above
Until the day HE calls our name
we only have HIS grace to gain!
We shall Thank HIM each time we pray for
knowing, sharing, loving, blessing, praising, glorifying,gathering,
worshipping, is.....

THE ONLY WAY
