Victory through sacrificial love
His Story is from Everlasting to Everlasting
Yahweh is in a class all by Himself
He acts and fulfills His Plan
Jesus disarmed the powers at war with Yahweh
Jesus disarmed the powers at war that were against us
Jesus is in a class all by himself
He acts and fulfills his plan
We must believe He can
Yahweh can do that thing that we want Him to do
No need is too great for Yahweh to supply
God the Father can subdue all things
No misery is too deep for Jesus to relieve
Saints must believe He can
Yahweh is Compassionate and Gracious
He loves man and He wants all to be saved
There is infinitely more power in Yahweh than he has ever displayed
Therefore, the next time we have a problem, let us
Rejoice in our Lord because we understand that
There is infinitely more power in Yahweh than He has ever displayed

Over the horizon beam charming patterns
--- a mystery to me as a child
colorful arc of celestial creation
exuding R-O-Y-G-B-I-V* hues
always appearing that way
naturally immutable.
Beholding patterns, magnificently glorious
I’m awed as a learner of science
gazing at the rainbow with exuberance
along kaleidoscopic glow exposure
midst prism iridescence…
I yearn to touch; yet impossible to grasp.
With Bible teacher-perspective
at the message of wondrous patterns I delight
since Scriptures assert as God’s “bow** in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant…”
which bears tenacious assurance
reigning with perpetual impact.
*Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
**Genesis 9:13 I do set my “bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

An old soldier was sitting on a park bench
When I happened to stop and rest awhile
He said I’m getting weary of these days
As I see my old comrades fade away
He looked at the poppy I was wearing
You know your poppy should be worn with pride
With some saying men should wear it on the left
And women should wear it on the right
Although the Queen wears hers on her left
For the red of the poppy is for the blood shed
On those terrible dark days remembered
The black centre is in grief for those we lost
Finally remember to wear it at 11 am on your chest
For the time the guns fell silent
I shook his hand and said
Thank-you for your service
And I left him sitting in the sun
An ANZAC with his duty done
So proudly wear your poppy for them.

God Is Awesome and His Beauty Displayed!
God is awesome and his beauty displayed!
He’s my protector! I’ve no reason to be afraid!
God is wonderful! And his glory never ends!
He is my Lord! My provider and friend!
God is magnificent! And his glory is real!
Behold the God of Abraham, Jacob and Israel!
God is omnipresent!
He’s wherever I go!
His son Jesus, has totally
cleansed my soul!
He’s the reason that I am here today!
I love him much more, than words can say!
He’s the reason why I can face tomorrow!
He’s removed my pain, guilt and sorrow!
His word is my guiding light as I travel on.
It shows me what is right.. And what is wrong!
He put his love, like a shield around me!
I once was lost, but his spirit found me!
He’s given to me his faithfulness! Forever true!
And spoke to me; “I’ll forever LOVE YOU!”
He’s my rock, my hope and salvation!
Through Jesus, there is no separation!
He can be your God too!
Why not come to him?
Through Jesus, is where
a new life BEGINS!
By Jim Pemberton
A power so great is displayed in dark souls,
recovering the damage that comes with being self.
It seeks to renew what has been put away and
dwells in a place that no man can go.
It devours all fear like the sea does the waves
and the son in His delight of, Mercy,
shines down on dark souls of woe!
The sky is yet blue though it seems we've lost our way,
our new heart so humble is driven on by faith;
it is simply turned to Christ.
It has washed us clean. Yes, washed into purity
and now we are led by the way of Grace.
Through faith we follow, simply follow for
we know that in doing so we cannot go wrong!
