God Forgive Me When I Whine

Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair.
and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, she gave a smile.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.

Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine.

Because He Lives

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.



How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.



Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.



And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

That First Easter

King of Kings", they shouted
As they hung him on the tree.
A crown of thorns upon His head,
Mocked, for all to see.
They cursed Him, spit on Him,
And pierced Him in the side.
They showed no love or mercy,
When our Lord they crucified

As He whispered, "Please, some water,"
They laughed some more with glee,
Instead they gave Him vinegar,
They were cruel as they could be.
He didn't call the Angels
To come and save Him then.
He knew He had to die
To save man from his sin.
As the hour came upon Him
He knew He soon would die.
The clouds began to roll
In a dark and ominous sky.

 
Instead of bringing wrath
And judgment on their heads,
He whispered, "Father, forgive them."
Then at long last He was dead.
They carried Him to a grave,
His life on earth was through,
On the third day He arose,
God's promise had come true.

I thank God for that Easter,
So very long ago,
He sent His son to die for all,
His love for us to show.
God had no other purpose
When His son died on that tree,
But to save man from his awful sin,
He died for you and me!

I asked Jesus "Lord, how much do you love me?"
Jesus spread his arms, and died

He is Alive...
We see His touch
in springtime's bright array;
And best of all,
He is alive
within our hearts today.

I am the vine
you are the branches
John 15:5


May you continue to grow
in the joy and grace
of our Lord.

May the risen CHRIST dwell in your heart
and bless you and yours this Easter day and always.

Magic Moments

Did you ever feel a snowflake

Land upon your nose

Did you ever see an Eagle

As into the air it rose

Did you ever see a shooting star

As it flashed across the sky

Did you ever see a rainbow

It's soft colors way up high

Did you ever plant a garden

And thrill to that first sprout

Did you ever cast your line out

And catch a sparkling trout

These are magic moments

And in our hearts they stay

To be taken out and thought of

On a cold and gloomy day.
