Repentance

Repentance is hurt that leads you to healing
Fall on your knees and pray to learn how to deal with your feelings
From all your past sins and from all your past mistakes
It doesn’t matter Jesus died for all our sakes
All we have to do is confess our sins from our mouth
Before you know it God will surely bring you out
He is the only one who doesn’t hold a grudge
Even when you slip and fall He’ll give you that extra nudge
God will pick us up when we do stumble down
Will stand us up again and turn us back around
Will lead His children down the path of His righteousness 
While holding us together with all His mightiness
Don’t listen to satan tell you that God doesn’t forgive you
His job is to keep you from getting your prayers through
If you are godly sorry in all the sins that you do 
Remember repenting to our Lord is what is needed to get your message through.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness

There Is

There is peace in the midst of pain
There is joy when it starts to rain
There is happiness in the midst of a fall
There is understanding when we don’t know it all
There is hope when we cast down our burdens
There is grace when we walk God’s journey
There is love when it hurts like hell
There is endurance as we excel
There is patience when we don’t see a way
There is perseverance when we start to sway
There is God doing what He knows is best
There is peace in our hearts so our minds can be at rest
There is mercy in Jesus’ name
There again is God who remains the same.

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.

Forgive Me

Forgive me Lord for all my past sins that I’ve committed
Help me to feel that through Your love I have been forgiven
I got to move on in my life
Not to continue to wallow in worries, pain or strife
I still struggle with the fact of who I was
Living my life in the streets with hoodlums, thugs, doing drugs
I lost everything in the world that I had
Including my self esteem had me feelings so sad
Lord, I want to love me enough to forgive myself
No longer being that person who’s always so messed up
You said in your word if I continue to trust and believe
To keep on praying soon I’ll feel relieved
So no matter what satan tries and continues to do
I’m going to forgive myself God through loving you.

Jeremiah 31:34b
……for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will
remember their sin no more.

Goodbye To Crack Cocaine

When we first met I liked you from the very start
Realizing once we got together we would never be apart
We became so close real fast just you and me
It was like we were truly meant to be
You said that together we would conquer the world
But instead you took my life through a whole bunch of hurls
You try’d cheating me out of my life you see
Then you became such a great mystery to me
Causing me to give up not wanting to continue to fight
You told me to lie, you told me to steal
It’s ok you said I’ve gotcha’ you for real
I lost my dignity to you and to me
Came real close to losing my life and my family
The time has come to say goodbye
No matter how much pain I feel I no longer have reasons to die
I’m going to live happy and to stay drug free
Living my life for God my church and my family
Satan you may as well just give on up and move out the way 
Cause God has the final vote over my life now and He says I’m here to stay
I hate you now with all my heart 
And guess what?
I am not going to fall all apart
God has me right where I’m supposed to be
Crack cocaine you no longer have that strong hold over me
God has given me the strength to bury you for good
After the last 32 years we spent together in da hood
I thank you God for stepping in right on time
Thanking you for not letting me compeletly lose my mind
I need you Lord to keep your firm hold on me
So I can stand strong up against satan and his army
I say goodbye to once a very close friend
The time is come that I take control of my life once again.

Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty where with Christ hath made
us (me) free, and be entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Jesus Paid the Price

This Poem pays tribute to our Lord and Savior for giving up His life: HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

Jesus paid the price for all our sins
They beat Him til they tore off His skin
They would beat Jesus almost to death
Just because He wouldn’t acknowledge their king being the best
God our Father is the greatest of Kings
Something they knew their king could never ever be
What they did to Jesus was truly so dumb
Knowing in their hearts no crime had been done
They shouted crucify Him, crucify Him
Why? Because He is The Lord
Having no idea what they would be in for
What was not known to man was that Jesus had been prepared
‘cause God told Jesus His life couldn’t be spared
When they nailed Him to that cross
He took everything with Him so we wouldn’t be lost
Jesus died so that the world could be free
For us to live in peace, love and harmony
Even after all what Jesus went through
You know He still forgave them, saying Father they know not what they do
That was such a great Love that He had for those
Who thought they could destroyed His heart and kill His soul
Why Jesus loves us so much I will never know
This one thing is for sure I’m in Love with Him so.

Luke 23:33a
And when they came to the place, which is
called Calvary, there they crucified Him…

To Mama

When I was a baby you took me in
Hoping to give me your joy 
Because of what you didn’t get from within
You gave me the best of the material things
But what I needed most was your loving angel wings
I wish we could have been the best of friends
But instead of friends I became a dope fiend head
You was there as best you could be
Couldn’t understand what had such a stronghold over me
In no way I blame you for my messed up past
But after you died my heart became real sad
I remember how you fussed, huffed and would fight
In trying to bring your baby girl back right
You would prayed, you cried asking God why, oh why?
Can’t she see the pain and hurt in my eye?
But you kept your faith and wouldn’t give up
Knowing one day that God would take my dark cup
I lost it the day that you passed
But I thank God I was there at last
Even for only a short minute
I was by your side to give you your final salute
Oh I wish you was still here to see
All the values you had instilled into me
You may be gone and I confess that after you left
Again my life turned out into a big mess
But now things have changed
My life is no longer the same
I pray that you have forgiven me
For all the years I put you through so much misery
You can smile now looking down from heaven
I’m no longer acting like that child age of seven
God is doing great and wonderful things
Giving me peace, hope and joy that life brings
I miss you Mama your wonderful tender touch
I now appreciate the love that you give me so much!

Humbly Submitted Your Daughter:

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Selfishness

Selfishness means: inconsiderate, thoughtless and/or greedy
Unconcern for others only for self and being a meany
God wants us to show others that it’s all about love
The hope and caring that filters down from up above
Life is not about selfish acts or being conceited
It’s about helping others out when and where it is needed
In return God will reward you with peace, joy, liberty and freedom
Because in His eyes it’s about doing His work that’s pleasing
Let’s get out of wanting to be and doing only for self
To show God you love Him let’s show care and concern for some one else.

Galatians 5:16
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith………

Discouraged

When trials seems to want to show up
And life’s headaches makes you want to throw your hands up
Jesus says don’t be discouraged you are not in despaired
When you are tired of always going through a test
Always your life in such a big fat mess
Jesus says don’t be discouraged come to me I’ll give you rest
When people want to try and keep you down
Not willing to lift your spirits up, you frown
Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m always around
When you think everyone has turned their backs on you
And you just don’t know what in the world to do
Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m here to guide you through
When you feel alone got no more strength to stand
Feeling your feet sinking in the sand
Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m here holding your hand
When folks don’t want to give you your respect 
And you know in your heart you’re doing you’re very best
Jesus says don’t be discouraged lay your head upon my chest
When satan is doing nothing more than to steal, kill and destroy
You don’t think life you’ll ever enjoy
Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m going to restore
When putting one foot in front of the other
And you find that you can’t put hope in another
Jesus says don’t be discouraged I am your brother
When satan tries to steal your joy away
Trying real hard to keep your spirits at bay
Jesus says don’t be discouraged I’m just a pray away
So when the trials of life have you spinning all around
Keep your head up and don’t look down 
And remember Jesus says don’t be discouraged
Because I am here to keep you encouraged!

Hebrews 12: 5-6
….My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord,
nor be discouraged when you are rebuke by Him;
for whom the Lord loves He chastens.

Faith

Faith is a choice from heaven above
Faith is a must to show God our love
Faith is our spiritual walk we have with God
Faith is by far what we need in receiving His nod
Faith is knowing that when God puts us through a test
Faith is what will bring us up out of our mess
Faith is believing in the unseeing
Faith is what gives our life truthful meaning
Faith is how we build on our strength
Faith is realizing that with God we won't miss
Faith is what we have to really have
having Faith is what make's God's heart glad.

Heaven and Earth

Heaven is a place of delicious delight
Earth is the place where God gives me sight
Heaven is a place where the streets are paved with gold
Earth is the place where God speaks peace to my soul
Heaven is a place where there will be no more dyn’
Earth is the place where God keeps me when I’m cryn’
Heaven is a place where rejoicing will always be
Earth is the place where my enemies terrorizes me
Heaven is a place where the angels dances all around
Earth is the place where God let’s me wear His crown
Heaven is a place where I long to be
Earth is the place where I can’t live without thee
Heaven is a place where My Savior is
And Earth is the place where I rather not live.

Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
