YOUR SHADOW

The Lord our God is the author of light

Which shines down from above on us all

When he is the high point of our life

There is no place for darkness to fall

But as we become distracted by other things

And God is not quite as high in our sky

We will see a shadow begin to appear

A place of darkness where the enemy lies.

The further we stray from God’s precious light

The larger our shadow will grow

The darkness expands and the enemy waits

To deliver his death yielding blow.

The way we can keep God’s light high in our sky

Is to keep his precious Word always near.

His Love and Forgiveness will comfort us all

And remove all of our doubt and fear.

Grow in God’s Word and accept Jesus as Lord

Live like he did everyday

He is The Way and The Truth and The Life

We are blessed when in his presence we stay.

As sinners we must always be on guard

Not to heed the world’s sinful call

If you see your shadow begin to appear

God’s Word can steer from a fall

When Jesus becomes the Light of your life

And your walk becomes to love and to give

The light that surrounds you will eliminate

A place for the darkness to live.

A SERVANT'S HEART

Everywhere we look today

The philosophy that dwells

Defines our life’s success

By what we attain for ourselves

We are told we can find happiness

By being the best that we can be

Self help and self indulgence

Are the world’s reality

When happiness and wealth

Are how you define success

Where do you turn when life

Takes all that you possess?

When things are going smoothly

It’s easy for us to be our master

But we wonder why we’re alone

When we face disaster

As life takes a turn

And we’re no longer in control

The loneliness and fear

Can really take a toll

God has a different plan

For each and every one

God’s model for our life

Is Jesus, God’s only son.

Jesus’ life teaches us

To always seek God’s will

He took the world’s sin upon himself

And through his death he paid our bill.

What if Jesus had made himself

His first and highest priority?

Our sins would be ours to bear

If he had turned from God’s authority.

But through his shinning example

Of his selfless attitude

He filled the lives that he Blessed

With an eternal gratitude.

Jesus told us all

For he who is least among you shall be great.

But being least is an idea

To which the world just can’t relate.

But when our goals become his

And serving others becomes our mission

The path to peace and happiness

Will be our ultimate transition.

When we become God’s tools

And we get out of God’s way.

It allows his Glory to shine through us

All he asks is that we obey.

When we live for Jesus

And obey God’s Holy Word.

By giving selfless love and sacrifice

Through us God’s voice is heard.

We no longer are lost and alone

God’s presence is always there

And our lives will be rewarded

By his Blessings that we share.

For as we give to others

It’s through others that we receive

It’s really not that hard

All we have to do is believe.

When in God’s eternal plan

Is what we choose to invest

Our selfless love and giving

Is God’s definition of success.

In the world you will never find

True peace and serenity

When all you focus on

Is you own divinity.

To reach God’s eternal Kingdom

We must embrace God’s Holy Son

We must live for others first

And make him number one.

Cast worldly values down

It’s time for a new start.

Eternal Blessings can be yours

When you have a servant’s heart.
