HINENI LORD

HINENI LORD

Here I am my Lord
Whatever you ask of me I will obey
I give more to You and less to myself
No matter what the time of day

Father I hear you calling me
Telling me the first thing I must do
Is to proclaim that Your Son Yeshua is
Messiah to both the Gentile and the Jew

He alone bore all of the sins of mankind when
He was nailed to a tree as a blood sacrifice
Only by professing Yeshua as Messiah can we
Come into Your Heaven Kingdom of Paradise

Hineni Lord God Hineni
Ask of me whatever You will and
Even though at times I may falter
I know that You will love me still

When I call Lord I need not shout
For I know that you are all around
I feel Your presence every day and night
And Your Mercy Love and Grace abound

The English translation of the Hebrew word Hineni is: Here am I.

DECADES

Decades

The first was really a terrific experience
My parents taught me right from wrong
To be very polite and listen
And always try to get along

Number two was for growing up
And as a teenage boy I did rebel
But as that time came to a close
You really could not tell

Three was very formidable
It set the pattern for my life
I had a steady girlfriend
Who then became my wife

In the fourth decade I knew that
I’d teach my kids as I was taught
Just the way my parents had done
Without so much as a second thought

As decade number five flew by
My life had seen extreme content
All of my children were married
And I had thoughts of retirement

Number six was really extra special
Most of my children had given birth
Yes I became that spoiling grandpa
It was a joy of immeasurable worth

In seven things were winding down
Sadly I had lost my wife to cancer
Being distraught I didn’t know
Where to turn to find the answer

I knew decade eighth would be my last
I Sought God in praise prayer and song
Only to discover that He had been
Beside me in my journey all along

COLLEGE FOOTBALL U>S>A>

COLLEGE FOOTBALL U. S. A.

It was the last game of the season
For good old Carter U.
Their opponent was a cross town rival
Minor College gold and blue

It has been a long time rivalry
Since the first time that they met
That’s really not the whole story
Because Carter ain’t won yet

They played each other very tough
As the first half came to a close
The coaches gave their team a pep talk
What they said though no one knows

The score remained tied at zero-zero
As the final minutes went fleeting by
Then Minor kicked a field goal
And their fans breathed with a sigh

Carter’s halfback took the final kickoff
And behind his blockers he began to run
Evading tackles he scored the winning touchdown
But it wasn’t over because the saga had just begun

"Hooray for the football hero he thought,
The man of the hour who had saved the day."
Then as he turned toward the cheering crowd
He knew that he ha run the opposite way

A GLIMPS OF HEAVEN

A GLIMPSE INTO HEAVEN

My first glimpse as I gaze up into the vastness of the heavenly sky
At its highest point I envision God sitting on His majestic throne
It had also became quite obvious
That He is also not up there alone

He is surrounded by thousands of angels
And the Messiah is sits at His right hand
It gives one’s self a feeling of peace and reassurance
Knowing that God is and always will be in command

I am a Messianic Jew

As I stated in the prelude to the Christmas poem that I wrote, I am a Messianic Jew. I hope that this title gets the attention of people who are unfamiliar with Messianic Judaism and those who say that you can’t be Jewish and believe in Messiah Yeshua. (Jesus Christ) In order to have this discussion, you must join my BLOG. (See bottom of this BLOG page) Although I don’t claim to be an expert on my faith, if there are any questions that I personally cannot answer, I will broach the subject to someone who is, to give you an answer. I look forward to these discussions. Also, there will occasionally be some Hebrew words within the poems. I will post the English translation to them below the poem.
THE WEEK’S TWO POEMS FOLLOW THIS POSTING.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS


Every year we make new year’s resolutions
For the most part they are hard to follow
Such as going on a very strict diet
That’s a real hard pill to swallow

Exercise is another one that’s hard to keep
Even though you have a membership to a gym
If you’re unable to keep up with your diet
How could you expect to get fit and trim

What about the one to quit smoking
You know that you really should
But there they are when you get stressed
Even though you know that they’re not good

Oh yes we also vowed to give up drinking
They say you shouldn’t drink and drive
The one good thin that comes out of this
Is the blessibg that you’re still alive

One resolution that you should always keep
Is a promise to the Lord when you make it
He promised that He’d give you eternal life and
I don’t think that you’d want Him to break it

GOD'S ECONOMY

God’s Economy

In this time when the economy is gloomy
Are you looking up into the heavenly sky
Because you know that in God’s economy
There’s no recession and will go passing by

Do you put your complete trust in Him
If not I tell you that you really should
Yeshua gave His life so that you can live
Trusting if you believer that you always would

If you do this He will never leave you
Oh sure your life will have a highs and low
But because you faithfully do His bidding
God is with you everywhere that you go

In the end you already know that
Your reward will be oh so grand
You will posses an eternal mansion
In the glory of God’s Promise Land
