Seasons of Life
To everything there is a season, Like the seasons of the year. A time for every purpose; They will come, that is clear. A time to be born, When it all began. A time to die, God’s perfect plan. A time to plant, Buried in the ground, And then to reap, Harvest abound. A time…
The Solar Eclipse
God’s Glory The heavens declare the glory of God. The skies, the work of His hands. Day by day their speech pours forth. At night knowledge expands. Their voice is heard in every speech. No language without its call. It goes into all the earth, To the ends of the world for all. In the…
Good Friday
Behold, My Servant prospers. He’ll be high and lifted up. Greatly exalted and praised, But made low by His Father’s cup. Just as men were astonished, His appearance marred and maimed.

A Good Name
A good name is to be chosen, Rather than great wealth, And loving respect, Rather than good health. Rich and poor have this in common— The Lord made them all. They need each other, Whatever may befall. A wise man foresees danger And finds a safe place, But the foolish keep on And suffer disgrace….
God’s Spirit Poured Out
Pentecost will come one day, And My Spirit will pour out On all flesh upon the earth. Languages will come about. Your sons and your daughters, too, Will prophesy decisions, And Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions. I will pour out My Spirit On servants, women and men. I…
Take Your Tears to God
Lamentations of Jeremiah “My eyes flow and do not cease, without interruption, till the Lord from heaven looks down and sees.” Lamentations 3:49-50 My eyes are flowing, And they will not cease Until my Lord God Brings me hope and peace. Until He looks down From heaven to see, My eyes will bring grief, And…
