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
Finish Line
If you want to live in Heaven, enjoying the prize, With bright shining crowns and no more goodbyes, Then stand firm in faith. Don’t wobble or sway. Keep trusting in Jesus, come what may. Don’t quit when it’s hard or when things go all wrong. Don’t abandon your faith when the wait seems too long.
Friends of God
Once far from the Lord, in a dark land so grim, We had no home where we could be with him. We grumbled and fumbled. We strayed and we fell, Unaware of the love that could make us all well. But God, full of mercy, had a flawless design: To send his own Son, both
Doing Your Best
Don’t dawdle or doodle or drag out your day. Don’t snooze through your calling or wander away. The Lord didn’t make you to twiddle and yawn. He made you to shine like the dew on the lawn. Be zippy. Be zealous. Go give it your best. Don’t settle for lazy. Stand out from the rest.
Lord, Where Are You?
Oh, Lord, are you there? Do you hear when I cry? I’ve called out all day and looked up to the sky. How long will you wait? Will you hide from my face? I’m lost in this dark, and I long for your grace. I knock and I knock … will you open the door?
Treasure of Truth
I don’t need a shovel, a map, or a chart, To find the best treasure right God’s heart. No pirates, no puzzles, no X marks the spot, His Word is the prize, and I love it a lot. I dance when I read it. I sing when I hear. Each verse is a jewel that
Dealing with Dirt
Like a dad with a hug or a soft bedtime song, The Lord shows his care when life feels all wrong. He sees every stumble, each scrape, and each fall, And says, “Don’t you worry. I’ve been through it all.” He knows we are fragile. We’re not made of steel. We’re brought out of the
Guard Your Heart
More than your toys or your shiny red bike, More than your sneakers or things that you like— Guard your heart, my child. Protect it with care, For it shapes how you act and the love that you share. Your heart is the boss of the thoughts in your head. It guides all your steps
Nudge from Above
My child, don’t grumble when God says no. Don’t pout when he tells you where not to go. Don’t ever get huffy. Don’t shout or despair. His love is the reason he’s even aware. He teaches and trains with a gentle delight, Not with fury or fire but by guiding you right. He’s a father
Right from the Start
Don’t wait till you’re sorry to say, “I’ll be good.” Do right from the start—just like you should. God’s not amused when you knew what to do, But chose the wrong path and said, “That’ll do.” You can bring all the gifts, stack them high in the air, But he’s watching your heart. Is it
The Pleasure of Right
If pleasing the Lord is your heart’s true delight, You’ll walk in his ways to be guided by his light. But if you just chase what you want for yourself, You may find your dreams falling right off the shelf. One path is clear, with peace in your stride. The other is crooked, with pitfalls
Strong Start
The fear of the Lord is where wisdom begins, Not with loud bragging or puffed-up grins. It starts with respect—not shivers or fright— But knowing what’s wrong and clinging to right. Now some folks don’t listen. They scoff and they grin. They toss out correction and drift into sin. But wise little ch
