Boldness to Speak
Oh Lord, oh Lord, we come to say, We need your help to speak today— To speak with boldness, loud and clear, Without a hint of doubt or fear. The world may shout, “Be quiet. Stop!” But we can’t let God’s Word be dropped, For truth is truth. It must be told, With hearts alive
Creative Genius
Oh, God made the heavens, the stars, and the sea, Then crafted us all with creativity. In his grand image, we’re made to create, To build, to imagine, to innovate. Where does it come from, this wild, wondrous spark? Does it burst in the light or ignite in the dark? Is it born from a
Treasures of Truth
The Maker of Earth, the skies, and the sea, Is the One who made mountains and bumblebees. He shaped every star and each sandy dune. The Lord is Creator of the sun and the moon. He says, “Come and ask. I’ve got treasures for you, Big secrets, great wonders, and things you never knew, Not
Hidden Treasure
Don’t pile up treasures all shiny and bright, Where moths come to nibble by day and by night. Where rust likes to creep and where thieves like to steal— The treasures down here aren’t ever the best deal. You can stack it, you can pack it, you can hide it away, But the moths and
Your Great Race
People have seen how great God can be. They’ve witnessed his glory like you and me. They’ve shouted. They’ve cheered. They’ve sung his praise, And they’re cheering us on through all of our days. Drop every burden and unload every sack. Shake off those self-chasers that hold your heart back. Those me
Thanks for Weakness
I don’t like the troubles, the bumps, or the stings, But guess what? I’ve learned they are marvelous things. When life gets all messy, when life feels all wrong, It’s there I discover where I can be strong. When people insult me or push me around, When problems pile up, and they’re starting to mound
No Oops in Heaven
Things fall in your lap. Things drop on your head. Some things you planned, and some things you dread. You can’t always choose what will roll your way. The unexpected can find you on any old day. A pebble, a pickle, a pop, or a shoe— You can’t always what will land on you. But
Big Ears, Small Mouth
Oh listen up, friends. I’ve a secret to share, A tip that can save you from many a snare. Be quick to hear and slow to shout, Especially when anger comes storming out. For stomping and roaring and yelling won’t do. That won’t bring you closer to God’s point of view. When feelings get fiery
The Story Parade
Oh, tell your children. Don’t ever delay. Tell them the story. Tell it today. When they grow up, they’ll tell it with cheer. They’ll pass it along for year after year. From mother to daughter, from father to son, The story keeps going. It’s never quite done. It skips through the ages. It sings throu
The Tomorrow Trap
Oh, you’ve got big plans. You’ve mapped it all out. “You bet we’ll succeed,” you boldly will shout. “Today we will travel. Tomorrow we’ll stay. We’ll make lots of money. We’ll win every day.” But wait just a minute. Don’t move quite so fast. Do you really know how long life will last? You puff
Never Fail to Tell the Tale
I’ll open my mouth with a story to tell, Of mysteries hidden, of things we know well. They’re no longer secrets. They’re not locked away. They’re treasures to share and to tell every day. Our grandfathers told them. Their stories ran deep, Of promises faithful and blessings to keep. The tales of God
Beating the Big Freeze
In a world full of trouble, where evil will grow, Where hearts can grow colder than fresh-fallen snow, Where kindness is rare and where love can decay, Some people give up. They just walk away. But wait! There’s a secret, a path you must find, A way to keep warmth in your heart and your
