Silly Poem ~My Horse~



My Horse

I found my horse on a ship,

So I decided to call him Chip.

He is brown and white

And very polite

Which is good

Because Mommy said we should.



With much care

I brushed his hair,

Now he’s ready

And very steady

For our ride.



You know what I tried?

I went really fast

It was such a blast.

“Faster faster,” I said,

So off we fled.



 We found Greenland

Which was totally unplanned.

Spectacular colors all around

It’s so much fun here in town.

Mountains, hills, ice burgs, snow,

We even saw a funny show.



I love riding my horse

But time for a change of course.

Now it’s time to go home,

Time has flown,

But I’m having so much fun.

Let’s go for another run!

Should we go back?

No, it’s time to hit the sack.




A righteous man regards the life of his animal, But the tender mercies

 of the wicked are cruel.

Proverbs 12:10

Beauty Of His Creation


 

I come to worship You



And give you glory and honor and power



God, You are our strong tower



I look up to the heavens



The heavens declare Your glory



Your divine presence is all around



Your Majesty, I cast my crown



You sit on the throne



As the Lion and the Lamb



And are worthy to be known



As the creator of all things



You have made us kings



You have made us priests



So I come to worship You



I kneel and bow down



And sing a new song too



The heavens declare Your glory



Your divine presence is all around



Your Majesty, I cast my crown



I see You through the beauty of Your creation



I give You thanks for my salvation



You have given us a love story



And the heavens declare Your glory



Your divine presence is all around



Your Majesty, I cast my crown







You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.

Revelation 4:11

You Desire Me





How great it is to know that my God desires me

The one and only true God, who has set me free

I can come to You day or night

And know everything will be alright



How great it is to know that my God desires my affection

When You look at me, You see perfection

There is nothing I need to do to win Your love

Because it’s Your grace that comes from above



How great it is to know that my God desires my praise

I will continue to praise You for the rest of my days

There is nothing more important than that

I will kneel and bow to You on my prayer mat



How great it is to know that my God desires my prayers

You are the only one that truly cares

I give You thanks and offer my requests

You are a Great God, A God that loves to bless



Here I am Lord, I give you thanks and praise

For you are a Great God that is worthy

I will left up my hands in amaze

Holy are You my God and my King

Every day I will bring

My praise to thee

Because I know You desire me





So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him

Psalms 45:11

Wait I Say!





Why LORD, why do I need to wait?



I want to leave all this mess,



There is way too much stress.



When will you make things straight?





Why LORD, why do I need to wait,



Can’t you see all the pain?



All he does is complain,



My heart can’t deal with this hate.





Why LORD, why do I need to wait,



I ask You what should I do?



I don’t want to be so blue,



I have too much on my plate.





Why LORD, why do I need to wait?





The LORD say’s,

“Wait I ask you, wait on Me



I will strengthen your heart,



I will give you a new start.



My work, you can’t see



Wait I ask you, wait on Me.



Be of good courage,



Don’t be discouraged,



I will set you free.





Wait, wait on Thee,



Wait I ask you, wait on the LORD.



Trust that I know what you need,



Continue earnestly to pled.



I promise you will be restored.”





Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD



Psalm 27:14

Silly Poem ~ A Bunch Of Green Beans ~







I love you,

But I will hold on to this grudge.

I love you,

But I will not budge.

I love you,

But I need you to serve me.

I love you,

But bring me some peach tea.

I love you,

But that’s what you deserve.

I love you,

But I will hit you with my curve.

I love you,

But you are so bad.

I love you,

But you make me so mad.

I love you,

But I will never forgive.

I love you,

But I will always relive.

I love you,

So bow down.

I love you,

And be my clown.

I love you,

 But do you know what love means?
 
  I will give it to you,

My love is a bunch of green beans.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Silly Poem ~Sleep Sleep~



Sleep Sleep is at hand

How I need thee

Come and get me

Take me to dream land

Where butterflies live

I will be happy

Even if it’s just one I see

Please I ask

Come and get me.



Awake Awake

I don’t want you

 I need sleep don’t you see

Maybe if I drink a cup of green tea

Nighty Nighty for me

 In my bed I tossed and turned

 Now, I’m really, really concerned

I should try counting sheep

Maybe then, I will fall asleep


My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word. Psalm 119:148

SillyPoem ~ Be....A Star ~



Be….A Star
What a beautiful night to sit outside
 Staring into the dark blue sky
Looking and searching for every bright star,
 There’s one!…. but it’s really far.
 Counting, one, two, three I see

If only I can fly in to the sky
I would take to the air
 Float and just stare
I dream of swallowing a bright light
And it beaming through me each night
 I wonder how it would be to be a star?
If I was a star I would say
Here I am, look at me
I’m shining bright,
I’m wonderful, beautiful, shimmering,
Marvelous, sparkling, and glimmering
Look and see…….it’s all about me.
Wouldn’t you like to Be…..A Star?


I will praise You, for I am fearfuly and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14

What Can I Say

What can I say, how do I feel
Wondering why this has to be.
The pain and sadness that comes and goes
When will I have peace that flows?
Emotions, emotions what can I say
Unstable, not real
Wish they would go away.
Here we go, another day
Wondering why this has to be.
Pain and sadness I still wear
Sometimes overwhelmed with fear.
How do I carry on?
I need Your strength to come upon
What can I say, how do I feel
Wondering why this has to be.
But yet I see
Pain and sadness I still wear
It’s still here, in the air.


"My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:9

My Precious King


 


My Precious King

You are so Awesome,

You are so Great to me,

You’re everything.



Your presence is all around.

When I wake in the morning

You are there,

When I go to sleep

You are there.



When everything is falling apart

You are holding my heart.

I’m not alone

It’s You and me now,

I will kneel and bow.



I come and seek Your face

Enter into Your holy place.

To praise the one and only Son

Because of You, my life has begun.



It’s You running in my veins

You have removed my chains.

In You I have my rest,

So I come to give you praise.



It’s You and me now,

I will kneel and bow.

I come and seek Your face

And enter into Your Holy Place.



It all makes sense in You,

You have pulled me through

And have saved me from myself.

There is no one else but You.



My precious King,

You are so Awesome,

You are so Great to me,

You’re everything .



Praise You, from Whom all blessings flow

Praise You, all creature here below

Praise You above, ye Heavenly host

Praise Farther, Son and Holy Ghost



 Let my mouth be filled [with] Your praise [And with] Your glory all the day.

Psalm 71:8

I Want To Be Like You


 
Through this storm I want to learn

How to be like You

I cry out to You and yearn

See me through this storm

Give me strength to continue on

And know that You will perform

A work within my soul and mind

To make me more like you

As I go through this storm I will find

And hear your words,

“Peace, be still”.

Jesus, I want to be like You



He sharpens his tongue like a sword

And bends his bow

And shoots his arrows at my heart

Help me to know Your love will always flow

Like a river and heal this broken vessel

I give it all to You, my anger ,my hurts, my pain

I will not continue to wrestle

But be thankful, for you are My defender

Do what You need to do within me

Because You are my God that is so tender

Working to make me more like You

More patient, more gentle, more loving

More forgiving, more merciful, and more gracious

My God, I will rejoice and trust in You

I want to be like you





But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; Let those also who love Your name Be joyful in You.  

Psalm 5:11

All I Need is You




All I need is You

To hold on to me and give me strength

To never keep me at arm’s length

To sit at Your feet

And hear Your heart beat

And know You will never let me go

To comfort my soul

And make me whole

To give me peace

So I can release

All the pain and rejection inside

You are my Savior, and I’m your bride

I hear Your voice

I can rejoice

In knowing that You’re my best friend

The one that I can depend

You will always be by my side

And will never leave me behind

All I need to do

Is call out to You

And You’re right there

So I will raise my hands and declare

You are the only true living God

The one that I can trust

The one that will never betray

And I can count on Your love everyday

All I need is You

All I need is You, LORD



Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. Psalm 73:25

Cascade River of Love




I will run to You, my God my Savoir

For there is no other love like Yours

This cascade river of love

In this space of time and sphere

I am attentive and aware

Of this cascade river of love

This love of mercy, this love of grace

There is no other one that will replace

The love I have for You



I will run to You, my God my Savoir

Wherever You are, I will be all there

There is no other love like Yours

Nothing can compare

To this cascade river of love

I’m satisfied with You

And I will delight in you too

For Your love is water to my soul

Your love makes me whole



I will run to You, my God my Savoir

My heart belongs to You and only You

This cascade river of love

I will love You with all my heart

And will never depart

I love You more than I did before

Because of Your river of love

My soul is complete

And I can’t live without

The love that’s so sweet

The love that falls on me

This cascade river of love





He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested towards us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this love, not that we loved God, but that he loves us and sent His son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:8-11

My Soul Cries Out



My soul cries out in distress,

As I continue to sin in this human skin.

I desire to do Your will

Fully pleasing You

But I still do the things I hate.

If only I can make things straight,

I wish I can undo.

The hurt I cause

Not only me, but You.



I’m over whelmed with shame

And want to end this war game.

But it seems to never end,

I have no hope.

I don’t know how to cope

With all this shame I claim.

Please take away the pain



I hate the things I do!





My soul cries out, forgive me.

Listen to my plea

I desire to do Your will.

Fully pleasing You,

My heart breaks with sorrow

As I truly want to follow.

My God that gives grace,

You have made a way

To replace

All my shame and sin.



You sent Your only Son for me

And is sitting at Your right hand.

Now I understand

It’s the blood for Christ

That makes me white as snow

And I can truly feel

Your love overflow.




My soul cries out, My Savoir

I desire to do Your will

Fully pleasing You.





 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.  

Romans 7:15





The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, And saves such as have a contrite spirit.  Psalm 34:17-18

Silly Poem ~ Hello Rain~



Hello Rain

Well, hello Rain,
What took you so long?
I’ve been waiting and waiting
To sing you a song
Here I go
Come along, come along
Rain Rain Rain
Flow Flow flow
Drop Drop Drop
Ummmmmmm
Ok, fine, I don’t know how to sing
I just want you to stay
And play and never go away.
Please Please I ask
Stay another day!

Silly Poem ~Cereal~



Cereal


I’m hungry what shall I eat?

As I search the cabinet, only to see

Dishes, bowls and cups sitting very neat

Cereal gone, nowhere to be found

As I search the pantry

I see on the ground

Crumbs next to my feet

Nothing to eat.

I’m so hungry what shall I eat?

 I’ll drive to the store

Seeking for some more

Cereal cereal where can you be

All I want to do is eat, you see

I search and seek

For something to eat

 My favorite bowl cereal

Believe it or not, they’re sold out

Here I go, driving to Imperial

Looking for my favorite bowl of cereal

I’m so hungry what shall I eat?


Therefore do not worry, saying, “What shall I eat?” Or “What shall we drink?” Or “What shall we wear?” For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your Father knows that you need all these things.
Matthew 6:31-32

Always Love Thee






My love,

I want to be with thee.

I hear you have no time to spare,

I see you disagree.

I know there is another beau,

But I will always love thee.



My dove,

I want to be with thee,

I hear a cry and see a tear.

I see the pain inside of thee,

I hear the sound of fear, my dear,

But I will always love thee.



Come, my beloved

I want to be with thee.

Please draw near,

I will take away the fear.

I will take away the pain, My dear.

I will wipe away the tear,

Please, come near.

I don’t care about the beau,

My love will overflow.

You disagree,

You will soon see.

Make time for me

I will set you free.

I will always love thee.



My Father,

I will leave it all and turn around

To be with You and bow down.

You have chosen me,

How could I not see?

I want to be with thee.



My Savior,

I feel your love overflow,

Sitting here at a glow.

You take my pain and heal,

I truly can feel

The love You have for me.

I want to be with thee.



My God,

You have set me free,

I am justified

And sanctified

Because You died for me.

Forgive me, Jesus,

I want to be with thee.





We love Him because He first loved us.

 1 John 4:19
