Your Gloriousness
Your goodness wherein I can see
Thank you, Lord, for the favor
Bestowed upon me.
Your forgiveness is all I ever need.
To shine brightly among the forest trees.
Your power restored dignity unto me,
Granting me the freedom to be free.
Your strength carried me,
Forging a heavenly path to destiny.
Your mercy, an unfettered forgiveness
That broke Satan's chains free.
The gift of love, power over my enemies.
Grace in place of Grace,
Your unmerited love I have received.
What greater love exists
Than to love beyond our needs?
Your gloriousness unites me with calvary,
There, Lord, I will forever worship thee.
O, Majestic King.

Blesseth Morning…
Jesus my savior, my everything.
Blesseth morning,
Omnipotent lord, my king.
Blessed morning
For the light of day.
Bless you, Jesus,
For occupying my center space.
My day starts and ends
With you at the helm.
Guide me with each step I take,
Correct my course
If I deviate from your pathway.
Blessed be your holy name.
Blesseth morning,
O Lord and King.

While We Pray
As the night descends upon day,
Its shadowing darkness is cast as the sunlight fades.
Lord, we ready ourselves to rest,
To sleep peacefully in your grace.
Before slumber’s embrace, I pause to give thanks
For yet another blessed-fill day:
Thank you, Lord, for your protective embrace
That held me steady throughout the day.
Thank you for your angelic presence always.
Thank you to your angels of comfort,
Who kept calm my day.
Thank you for the gentle nudge of guidance,
For feet that trod your righteous way.
Thank you for the spirit to offer you praise.
And once more, thank you, Lord,
For the breath of life you gave.
This is my prayer, Lord,
As we wait for the dawn of a new day.

utterance of gratitude
Lord,
How can I express gratitude for the gift You bestowed?
For the humble heart that Your grace has clothed.
You healed my brokenness and veiled my shame.
Thank you, Father, for the soft whisper, the call of my name.
Engraved in the Lamb's Book of Life.
A seal imprinted with the armor of protection,
And the promise ring of everlasting life.
Lord, You have redeemed me with Your Holy Spirit.
Purposefully positioned within the Body of Christ.
Guiding my steps with precision as I tread this Christian life.
Who else but You, Lord, could better direct my path?
You are everything to me, my night and my day.
The source of life, the breath in every inhalation I take.
Lord,
I shall keep my heart humble and offer you earnest praise,
To express my gratitude for the life you have so graciously saved.

Because of Thee
You granted me eternal life out of love with a single spoken word.
You have allotted me all I need for a life so complete.
I am who I am because of thee, I am no less, no more.
I owe everything to you and am content with the life you have given me.
You are the reason for my existence.
You are my shining star deserving worship from the heart.
My heart, soul, and everything I have belongs to you, Lord.
Because of thee, I am at peace and truly free.
A Blessed Life...
Is to understand that the foundation of wisdom stems from fearing thee.
Living the “Good Life” is to serve and acknowledge you in everything.
I give reverence and commitment to thy law and in the presence of your
greatness, I am still in awe.
Dear Lord,
You are my center, my life scale, without you, I am lost and off-balance.
I am like a condemned man that's ingested by malice.
Your love and grace keep me centered and free from negativity.
I am grateful for all that you have done for me. You are my entirety;
You are the joy my silent thoughts bring.
You are the morning and nightly praises that my heart sings.
Because of thee,
I’m no longer a slave to fear but a warrior of the Heavenly King.
There is power and strength in the mention of your holy name.
The lost, the broken, and the hopeless are restored once again.
Great and Majesty is thy name, Jesus! my heart proclaims.
The melody of my soul sings your name, Jesus! the name above all names.
Because of thee,
I am simply grateful to be me, a creation of the Almighty King.…

BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD
This poem draws inspiration from the greatest story ever told, as chronicled in the Holy Bible.
The greatest story that has ever been told
The greatest prophecy to ever unfold
Behold the Lamb of God, this is how the scripture goes….
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son
On Calvary, He paid the cost so that He may claim those that were lost
He gave His life willingly so that we might be free
Oh how the Lamb of God must have loved me
To Calvary, He was led
Tortured, beaten, and vinegar He was fed
With hatred in their hearts “Justice they said”
He endured pain and suffering openly for the world to see
For with each nail driven, undoubtedly, He thought of me
As the crowds enlarged, hateful hearts were so eager to see
“Crucify, Crucify this self-made king”
They placed a crown of thorns upon His head
“JESUS the King of Kings” his title read
He opens not his mouth to protest or plea,
He accepted it as He knew it was meant to be
As His eyes lifted toward heaven, He sealed your and my destiny
Behold the Lamb of God
The precious blood that flowed from His nailed scarred feet
The sky darkened as the still of the night, the earth trembled at His feet
“It is Finished” with a loud voice and a silent whisper, “Lord remember me”
Little did the world know
His precious blood would be the key to setting all captives free
Behold the Lamb of God, King of Kings......

LIFE WITHOUT YOU
Imagine This……
A life of incompetence, a life shattered and meaningless
A life without kindness, mercy, and forgiveness
A life without laughter, warmth, and creativity
A life without salvation, redemption, and deliverance
Imagine Life without joy, peace, and tranquility
A life without patience, endurance, and contentment
A life without healing, restoration, and encouragement
A life without protection, shelter, and strength
Imagine Life without faith, hope, and charity
A life without dreams, visions, and prophecies
A life without prayer, worship, and victory
A life without trust, belief, and conviction
Imagine life without comfort, humbleness, and authority
A life without wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
A life without freedom, assurance, and unity
A life without wealth, happiness, and prosperity
Just imagine life without Christ Jesus
Life without Eternity, Imagine Life Incomplete ……….
