“Greater is He That is Within Me”
Greater is He that is within me,
Than he that is within the world,
Greater than all the skies, land and sea,
Great is my Lord, great is His Word!
Greater is He that is within me,
Praise to my Savior, how great is His name,
Who was, is and always shall be,
Beyond all wealth, fortune or fame.
Greater is He that is within me,
Because Christ’s death and resurrection,
A soul undeserved, am forgiven by Thee,
To Christ my praise, my affection.
Greater is He that is within me,
Who breathes me life, I live for Him,
My soul is blessed for Christ lives in me,
Who has delivered me from death and sin.
Greater is He that is within me,
Once lost, now found, through grace alone,
Because Christ has risen, I now am free,
Oh praise His name to Glory’s throne.
Greater is He that is within me,
The giver of life and all that abounds,
The Living Water to all who are thirsty,
Glory to God, all creation resounds.
Greater is He that is within me,
Who forgives me for all my trespasses,
Who delivers my soul and sets me free,
Beyond my understanding, His peace surpasses.
Greater is He that is within me,
Than left to myself, me, or I,
For me, a sinner, He gives eternity,
When my heart surrenders to God on high.
Greater is He that is within me,
He resides in my heart each day and night,
To believe, I don’t have to see,
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
Greater is He than is within me,
Than he that is within the world,
To all who believe in what they can’t see,
The gift of salvation unfurled.

Ren Royal Poem
“Transformed by The Cross”
By Ren R. Royal
As I look up to the cross, what do I see?
Do I see just a cross, or Christ who died for me?
The true meaning of the cross is not just something during lent,
The meaning is a way of life, not just mere intent.
As I look up to the cross, I see a love beyond splendor,
A debt far beyond all my heart could render,
Priceless beyond worth, Immeasurable beyond words,
As God’s grace spreads wide open as salvation unfurls.
As I look up the cross, my heart is not only changed,
The interior design of my heart is also rearranged,
My heart is transformed to a whole new beginning,
To a love that lasts forever, a love that knows no ending.
As I look up to the cross, I see not doom or gloom,
I see in people everywhere God’s love in full bloom,
The cross is not a time in which our souls should grieve,
But in our lifelong testimony, live out what we believe.
As I look up to the cross, transformed by God’s grace,
I see a love beyond all love, I see God’s glorious face,
As I look up to the cross, transformed by God’s mercy,
I see a love beyond all time, the greatest love in history.

Ren Royal Poem
Forgiveness
By Author Ren R. Royal
The world is full of differences we all proclaim is right,
How can we let go of our indifferences,
And forgive instead of fight?
The world is full of people who will gain at any price,
We cheat, we steal, we lie-in order to get ahead,
Why do we gamble with such loaded dice?
The world's portrait of arrogance gleams its reflection,
Often these imperfections we try and hide,
But will they pass the Lord's inspection?
The world is full of crime that leaves many victims suffering,
False prophets and leaders claiming Jesus name,
The cloud of doom seems impending.
The world at large is full of goodness also,
Because Christ died and rose, we are forgiven,
As gifts of God's mercy and grace bestow.
The despairing world is changed – the horizon of Forgiveness appears,
Love's light shines through hatred's blinding glare,
Wiping away the sorrowful tears.
The world sings the song of revenge's passion with its angry chord,
Yet the note of God's forgiveness and compassion,
Leaves an astonishing reward.
The world of many languages speaks the Lords Prayer,
“"Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us."
This love we find in others is genuine and rare.
Vengeance divides, yet forgiveness unites, hand-in-hand,
Forgiveness is the remedy to two hearts collided,
That brings the song of peace to the land.
The world is hopeful because the hand of forgiveness reached out,
Once divided in blame, now united in Christ,
God forever, every century, all time throughout.
The world is full of living faith because Christ's gospel lives on,
Freed from resentments, each heart forgives,
When "Christ our solid rock" - we stand upon.
How can the lost in the world be found?
How can the Gospel Word speak?
By sharing the note of forgiveness sweet sound.
The world is full of those who walk in faith, not sight,
Spreading the aroma of salvation's bouquet,
With joy's fragrance to the hearts delight.
The world is full of orchestras, as the chorus of life is playing,
When forgiveness emits its radiant glow,
Christ's love alive is portraying.
When we forgive, it is Christ we represent,
Because my Savior, Jesus Christ first forgave me,
Forgiveness ignites the flame of atonement.
Forgiveness is the key that opens the door to healing,
Forgiveness unlocks even a heart of stone,
Because it is Christ, ever-living, REVEALING.

Ren Royal Poem
“Two Flames of the Soul”
By Ren R. Royal
Although the world searches for why’s,
It is seen not by words but by action,
Vainful glories his heart denies,
The sinking sand of infatuation.
He shows such true and sweet devotion,
He never needs a reason why,
His passion is seen in the mirror’s reflection,
A heart so true shall never die.
A flame beyond the depths within,
A light that sparks the passion’s glow,
Where two hearts join the journey shall begin,
When you look into the eyes of the soul.
The eyes of the soul reveal the depth,
Beyond the shallow mind,
The tears of grace the soul has wept,
To a soul that once was blind.
This flame of passion is only seen,
In the eyes of the soul within,
Devotion shines its inward gleam,
The soul breathes a deep Amen.
All thanks to our Creator of life,
Through whom this passion burns bright,
A blessing of marriage, man and wife,
Two flames of the soul unite.

“Springs of Living Water”
By Ren R. Royal
Springs of Living Water,
Quench our every thirst,
Filling the heart’s empty chambers,
While God’s grace is being dispersed.
Springs of Living Water extinguish,
The fiery flame of sin and death,
Through Christ’s death and resurrection,
Salvation’s ever-living breath.
May Springs of Living Water bind,
And build a bridge of peace,
Where the unity of all mankind,
Breathes harmony’s sweet release.
Raindrops from Heaven sent to heal,
While realms of glory portray,
Springs of Living Water reveal,
“The Life, the Truth, and the Way.”
Waters streaming from Heaven,
To the earth and land below,
To every dry and empty valley,
God’s goodness and mercy overflow.
Sprinkling drops of Grace permeate,
Christ’s breath into the soul,
Revived, the breath of salvation,
Breathes new life that makes us whole.
To all who seek, may they find,
May the grace of God reveal,
The door that stands wide open,
To God’s Heavenly feast and meal.
To the Springs of Living Water,
Where every tear shall be wiped away,
The treasures of God’s Kingdom revealed,
By the hand of God portray.
To all the dried-up hearts and souls.
The Waters of Grace shall pour,
Filling each and every cup,
With Springs of Living Water forevermore!
John 7.38:and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the
believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’”
Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead
them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Ren Royal Poem
Amidst the Glassy Sea
By Ren R. Royal
Amidst the glassy sea,
Through skies of mist and haze,
The moonlight dances in joyful glee,
Its picturesque beauty portrays.
The gleaming stars and sea have met,
Through cascading rivers of sunlight,
As the skies unfold the beautiful sunset,
The trembling earth in pure delight.
The earth, the skies, the heavens, the seas,
All join in life’s pure rhythm,
Every living creature new life breathes,
Discord to harmony; division to union.
The bridges of the soul now cross,
What evil and sin divide,
Because our Lord has suffered loss,
The joy of salvation reside.
Beyond the shadows that hinder our sight,
Into the darkened skies of the soul,
Shining down from Heaven’s majestic light,
Cascading fountains of grace overflow.
Beyond the valleys lie treasures so deep,
Unseen from the mountains above,
Into the hearts of faith, they reap,
Blossoming by the seeds of God’s Love.
Through darkened horizons that once did blind,
Once lost, we now are found,
God’s hand of grace extends to mankind,
Christ’s love in our hearts abound.
From bridges so narrow to crossroads so wide,
From the stumbling blocks that hinder,
To salvation’s road our Lord shall guide.
When, thus, we learn to surrender.
When salvation unveils its picturesque view,
Amidst the glassy sea,
With Glory’s horizon, each colorful hue,
The open arms of Eternity.
Beyond the murky waters of sin,
Amidst the glassy sea,
To paths of Righteousness, enter in,
To God the Everlasting Glory be!

“The Arms of Your Grace”

Our Father in Heaven, our breath, our all,
By Your hands of Love and Arms of Grace,
You captivate in awe, In wonder You enthrall,
With arms wide open, to Thy Holy embrace.

Our Messiah, our Savior—Hosanna we sing,
Your Glory fills the air, each note and every chord,
All Heavens and Earth—Hallelujahs shall ring.
Our Father in Heaven, Our Water ever-living,
Thy marriage feast of Heaven awaits,
Thy mercy fills, Thy grace ever-giving,
Souls overflowing to Heaven’s gates.
Our Father in Heaven, our strength, our power,
Our Lord, our Savior, our King and Friend,
Our refuge and fortress each day, every hour,
Our Alpha, our Omega, our beginning, our end.
Our Father in Heaven, our life, our salvation,
Lead us to Thy Heavenly Place,
Through the ends of the earth and Thy revelation,
Enclose us, embrace us in the arms of Your Grace.
