Short Hobbs Poems

Today
a blessing
from above
God's created beauty
like the beauty I love

Today
let's call on his name
so beautiful to feel
his grace
so real

Today
we'll find
deep in our hearts
Jesus is there

finding it in his words
so real
so true
In our lives
as God's will
we pursue

Once More
to thee I'll give
Once More to thee
I'll love

I'll sing a song of praise
each
and every day
I'll worship
and adore
your words
are mine forever more

I'll try to love
by them
a lamp unto my feet
It's height to reach

Once More to thee
I'll sing
for joy to my heart Jesus
you bring

Just make this day, LORD
And let it be
A little love
And a closer walk with thee

Just make us PEACE
And let it flow
Into our hearts
And let us know

Just send us GRACE
And let it dwell
Into our souls
So others can tell

Just give us LOVE
And Bestow
On us and others

On a early Saturday morn
When the rains end
And the cool fresh air sets in
I will be thinking of Heaven again

And forget what might have been
Waiting still Christ return
For all have lived there lives
On this earth called home

Forgetting about yesterday
And what might have been
For it was lived
And gone with the wind

God loves me so
and, springtime will
come again
I'm happy to know

I'm happiest
I know
when the roses
bloom
I sing a new tune

I'm happiest I know
when I read God's
words
and the promises he made
I'm happy to know

I'm happiest
I know
Christ died
for me
and gave me
a new life
I'm happiest
I know

Sometimes the rain descends
And touches the cool breeze
Of the winds
For Spring to begin again

The thoughts of splendor
Roll across my mind
I think of yesterday
And, past times

I remember the autumn
And the colors of gold
And the brisk winds
And a new fallen snow

I wonder
And ponder
About my thoughts
And think
Of Jesus
And all is
Not Lost

Early one morning
As the dew fell
I fell in love
And I didn't tell

The sound of his voice
Was the song in the rain
The touch of his hand
The mention of his name

I love him so
Just the same
The reasons why
I can name

He's always there
To care
And always there
To share

Early one morning
I met him there
And I'll remember
Him always, always there

Understanding
Clear as a bell
Silence in the morning
Flowers adorn

The dew gently touches
The flowers
In the time of night
God replenishes the Earth
And brings the light

Understanding
Wisdom
From above
Sit down by God's love
As we gently read the Bible

And God's will
In our lives he shows
Makes a happier life
Wherever we go

The mist in the morning
Cradling the trees
Now beautiful in the morning
Are the birds
That sing

Some wondrous morning
When Spring arrives
To hide the Winter
And place it
Far behind

When all we
Do is pray
Morning will come
As the early
Morning Breeze
Captures the
Flowers

As it's dancing
Sway beauty
Like Grace
With God's beauty
His love
He will place

By Betty L. Hobbs


What dreams are mine
When I see Jesus smile
When I live my life worthwhile
For time I realize without criticism

My hope is filled with dreams
And my future I can’t see
But God can understand
That I am just a woman and not a man

What dreams are mine
When hope in my life
I can find for deep in my heart
Christ I’ll find

Were everything
Were beautiful
We'd sing
And life
Would be like
A dress

Summertime
And happy times
Like Christmas
And Thanksgiving
Times
Life could be
A holiday
For once a year
These seasons
Bring

Everything
And everyone
These things
We have
For eternity
We are
Bound
To live with
Christ each day
Why we celebrate this holiday

It's time for Christmas
Every heart should be happy
And worship God
On this day

It's time for Christmas
The Christ child's day
He was born
On this day

It's time for Christmas
The colors are beautiful
The trees are decorated
The lights are bright

And the trees are green
With beauty
And we will celebrate the Savior
With love and beauty

The Sun is peaking through the clouds
And mercy is surrounded
With God's Love is filled with joy
and peace we do enjoy
And the scenes of the early morning
the blackbirds fly near the trees
as the sun peaks through the clouds

The Sunrise
they'll be another day
when happiness
flies our way

The Sunrise
is beautiful and real
in my heart
it is still

Silently in the night
As the breeze
Blows gently across my face
I feel the warmth
Of your tender embrace

Wind swept
Your kiss
Gently touched mine
I felt the desire
Of your love
On my mind

Wind swept
You're on my mind
Most all the time
Will you be mine
Or is this just
Fate in time

Your embrace
Just caresses
My soul
And I feel your touch
Will
Embrace my soul

Let's face the Music
whether or not it rains
whether or not it's snowing
The music's the same
let's face the music anyways

Let's face the music
and, then
play it all over again
Sing along
to Jesus
my heart belongs

He'll face the music
with me
this we will live
I'll live it with thee

Let's face the music
and, then
Live, throughout eternity
and, then
peace and happiness
begins

Morning
Morning after the Night
When the star shined so bright
On that Holy Night
Jesus was Born
To bring to the World a light
A light that shines deep inside your heart
To enrich your life with wisdom and light

Morning, Morning
Glorious days when we seek God's mercy
And his ways
All we need to do
Is to go back to that night
And remember the star that shined so bright
On that Holy Night

Family and friends
Rushing from store to store
And the beauty of the season
Should last forever more

Season's Greetings on a card
And Santa's bells ring
And the Christmas
Carol's sing

Snowflakes twirl
Through the air
As Christmas trees from
The windows stare

Season's Greetings meet the evening
As the children laugh and play
And soon they'll open their presents
On a Christmas Day

Beauty lies within
Where peace begins
She opens like a bloom
Like a flower in June

Beauty lies within
Where joy lives and feels
The reasons for peace
To make us whole when we are weak

Beauty lies within
Where grace is sufficient for our souls
Where joy has given a reason
To make us happy wherever we go

Beauty lies within us
Its colors are arrayed
Like a picture painted
On a warm summer’s day

I'm carrying
This is my cross
I'm bearing
For the loved One I'm sharing

This is the cross Jesus carried
When He died on that tree
We saw a little one called Mary
Who prayed under a tree

One day to be in Heaven
And reach those golden shores
There to dwell in glory
And be with Him forever more

Jesus is surely coming
And He's prepared a dwelling place
There we'll be in glory
For He took our place

The Evening Shadows Glow
Into our minds we know
Captured by the evening mist
With God's Love to consist

Everywhere it's Spring
When in our hearts we live
With peace God gives
In visions of hope

The Evening Shadows Glow
In the cold snow
Where does it go?
Into beauty as life we know

The Evening Shadows sway
Into a beautiful day
Knowing in our hearts we forgive
And live, in beauty, for life is real

Maybe today
There will be a blessing
Sent from God's sweet hand
A blessing filled with His love
To help us to understand

It may be a kind word
An I love you said
A flower sent
A get well card meant

Today
There may be a blessing
There will be
The brightest sun
Shining in the sky
For everyone

In the evening
The moon will come out
He knows the stars by name
Because He
Named them after us
Shouldn't
We all trust
What a blessing
What a must

Walking hand in hand
By the distant shore
Sharing life together
Laughter once more

Talking about the good times
Forgetting about the old
Knowing in our hearts
To each we hold

Blessings we share
From day to day
Success is for sure
And, it's on the way

One chapter may be closed
One window may be opened
But, tomorrow will come
With the blesseth
Assurance of the Lord

I walk down a lonely pathway today
I ask God to bless me as I pray
Today Dear Lord is your Day
Help Me, Help, Help us along this pathway

This Springtime is Hear
And the Roses smell so clear
There blooming again
I watch them near

Today is a new Day
On this lonely Pathway
I met Jesus Today
He came into my Heart to Stay

Tomorrow will come again
I touch the breeze
As the gentle wind
And, begin my Pathway All Over Again

And taking Him by the hand
And knowing His words
In the Bible to be read
Makes a life worthwhile
To be fed with the blessing from His hand

Coming to know Jesus
Through His words
Doing what He asks
And blessing from the storehouse up above
Creator of a beauty to be loved

Happy in the Heaven
That God gave to me
To will His blessings
Of liberty and surety

Coming to know Jesus
Freely His love flows
In our hearts
Wherever we go

Pleasant are the days
When we live the right ways
Are the flowers that bloom in Spring
Are the birds that sing

Grace that says, “Thank You”
Love that fills our hearts
Peace that plays
The parts

New Years comes to me with a snow capped hill
A baby sleeping on a big bed that wouldn't awaken to see
That a far away call from Texas
For me to see

New Years a happy home
To see the days
When my sons will all kneel
And pray
And say, “Thank You”
