LEANING ON THE ROCK

LEANING ON THE ROCK

At the very moment of my darkest hour oh Lord

It looked like I had reached the end of my rope

I clung to You in prayer with all of my strength

For You are my Salvation and in you there is hope

My prayers were answered just as You promised

By faith You have helped me turn my life around

I had no doubts or fears when I sought Your help oh Lord

For I knew that on the rock I am planted in solid ground

You gave your life to absolve me of my sins and now

In You my past troubles are no longer even a memory

Here and now I will forever be Your faithful servant

Let Your Holy Spirit tell me what I can do for Thee

Return soon Lord and bring us Your Shalom

Then lead us to Your Kingdom of Eternal Life

To abide in mansions that You have provided

Where tranquility replaces all illness and strife 

YESHIVA AND THE FOOTBALL GAME

YESHIVA AND THE FOOTBALL GAME

(A Spiritual version of College Football U.S.A.)

It was the very last game of the season

For Yeshiva College's blue and white

They were playing Messiah College

Whose players all walk in God's Light

It has been a long time rivalry

Since the first time that they met

Each trying to prove who's really right

But Yeshiva College has not won yet

They played each other very tough

As the first half came to a close

Then the rabbis gave their pep talk

What they said Go only knows

The score remained zero-zero as

The Final minutes were fleeting by

Then Messiah College kicked a field goal

And the home crowd breathed with a sigh

Yeshiva's halfback took the final kickoff

And behind his blockers he began to run

Evading tackles and scoring a touchdown but

It was not over yet for the saga had just begun

"Hooray for the football hero," he thought

"The man who had saved Yeshiva's day"

Then as he turned toward the cheering crowd

He know that he had run the opposite way

Quite obviously he and his teammates still did not get it

For if they had accepted Yeshua who died for their sins

It would not have mattered what the final score was because

By professing Him as their Jewish Messiah everybody wins

HELP ME PASS GOD'S WORD ALONG

HELP ME PASS GOD'S WORD ALONG

How many times must I write these words

Their end will always come out the same

If my poetic ministry doesn't make you think

Can you tell me which one of us is to blame

Is the message that I write not reaching you

Are your eyes blinded by a hardened heart

Open them by letting go and letting God

Operate on your closed attitude to start

Allow yourself to be open to hear His Word

Then you as well will also have a ministry

Telling everyone that is willing to listen

Of how the Word of God has set you free

We all preaches His word in different ways

It may be in poetry or perhaps even in song

Some may have a gift that makes other people listen

As the Holy Spirit touches them to make them strong

When I can see all of these things happening around me

I know that God is going to give me more words to write

Which will open the eyes and ears of so many others to

See Messiah Yeshua as the only Truth Way and Light 

NO COINCIDENCE JUST DIVINE INTERVENTION

NO COINCIDENCE JUST DIVINE INTERVENTION

Most of the verses that are given to me are

From God at the agency where I volunteer

It's not that I don't have a sufficient amount of work

But because the Holy Spirit keeps enough time clear

Today I answered the most amazing telephone call

It seems we shared a bond that was geographical

I believe that God is in control of every aspect of life

The only word to describe this would be fantastic

Usually when these things begin to happen to me

My path is crossed so that I can spread God's Word

If this was the message that I've been given today

I 'm not quite positive yet because I haven't heard

Poetry and testimony are my way of spreading God's Word

And every day the Lord keeps opening new doors for me to

Tell the whole world about their Jewish messiah whose name is Yeshua

Whose crucifixion absolve everyone's sins and set them spiritually free

BIBLICAL DAYDREAMS OF FAITH

biblical daydreams of faith

In random daydreams I would fantasize

About living in various time frames in the bible

The trying and the joyful times

For which, since I was there, I would be liable

I felt the presence of the LORD

With Moses, I saw the bush that burned

To humble myself and have reverent fear

Are just two of the lessons that I’ve learned

I was in the camp of Abraham

When God’s covenant was given

He was commanded to sacrifice his son

His love of God and to obey kept him driven

When Joshua surrounded the city

By honoring the trumpet’s call

It was as God did decree

And I saw the walls of Jericho fall

I was on the battlefield with David

Hopelessly all looked to be lost

But his Godly faith would slay goliath

With rocks from a slingshot that were tossed

I stood in the court of King Solomon

God gave him wisdom beyond his years

Two women claimed a newborn child

The outcome brought me joyful tears

After the victory of Judah Macabee

With little oil for a Godly dedication      

Miraculously it lasted for eight days

Wow! What a cause for celebration

On and on throughout the bible

I saw all the miracles God had amassed

And though they were all wondrous

I’ve saved the best for last

I was part of the multitude

That saw God’s son hang on a tree

Because He was the only perfect sacrifice

For which God set the sins of mankind free

The daydreams that I have are awesome

But God has other plans for me

Messiah said to minister God’s word

Of salvation now and for eternity

FISH STORY

Fish story

As a child I went on fishing trips

Most of them were with my dad

At that point in my life it was

The greatest time I'd ever

Before dad would let me fish all by myself

He taught me how to use the rod and reel

That I would know if I had one on my hook

Because It's something that he said I'd feel

I sat there waiting very patiently but

My nervous stomach churned inside

I felt a jerk and quickly reeled it in

Unfortunately it was just the tide

I cast my line out once again

With all of the utmost speed

When it yanked again I pulled it in but

I had hooked clumps of thick seaweed

Once more I cast into deep water

By now I really didn't give a hoot

The next time that my line came up

I had hooked a size eight army boot

I was just about ready to give up

So I reeled it in and to my dismay

There was the biggest fish I'd ever seen

The largest one that was caught that day

The one thing that I learned from this

Is that no matter what gets in the fray

Be patient it will work out in the end

The goal that you seek is on the way

A RETREAT TO ADVANCE THE GLORY OF GOD

A RETREAT TO ADVANCE THE GLORY OF GOD

Another year has just flown by

It’s time again for the Men’s Retreat

Filled with praise and prayer and fellowship

And a speaker who I’ve yet to meet

We do not know the message

Of the sermon that this Israeli Rabbi brings

But with open minds and ears and hearts

Our spirit will absorb so many things

When the retreat has ended

This weekend will be more than a memory

For we will go forth and spread the word

Of how God Truth has set us free

Tell everyone who listens

How God sacrificed His only Son

To cleanse our sins and bring eternal life

Just by professing Yeshua, Messiah, The Holy One

Each of us who ministers God’s word

Will be blessed beyond all measure

Our fear of the Lord is reverent

Our reward an abundance of Heavenly treasure       

Before you know it we’ll meet again

With many stories of salvation

This will continue until Messiah’s return

In the year of Jubilation
