Made for Each Other
You and I were to meant to love,
Like a hand, snug in a glove.
As the sunset adorns the sky,
Fashioning a lovely sight,
You and I, just fit right.
Poles apart in some spots,
Yet, a perfect picture appears,
When one connects the dots.
Fiery tests put our love on trial,
We hurt, we healed—it was all worthwhile.
The hard tests of love softened edges,
Time has validated our pledges,
Proving Heaven authored our story.
God with us let us venture,
That our union ever be,
Like as fresh, lovely morning glory.
We were made for each other…
...they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Matthew 19:6
Two for 6/8 = Nineteen straight…

My Commitment as a Christian
My Commitment as a Christian
(Written by a young African pastor and tacked on the wall of his house.)
A young African pastor wrote, "I have Holy Spirit power . The decision has been made . I must go till he comes . and work till He stops me."
I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.
I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way rough, my companions few, my guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. And when He comes for His own, He will have no problems recognizing me - my banner will be clear!

Something to Cry about
Something to Cry about
Lord please hear my cry
You know the reason why
I need a blessin from You
A little help to make it thru
I feel like I’m at the end of my rope
But because of You, I dare to hope
Troubles encumber me all around
Let your grace and mercy rain down
Lord I’ve got no where else to go
You’re the only Salvation I know
You know when and You know how
Just, please Lord bless me now
Lord please hear my cry
You know the reason why
I need a blessin from You
A little help to make it thru
I feel like I’m at the end of my rope
But because of You I dare to hope
Lord take note of my sighin
Lord, behold how I’ve been tryin
Tryin to stand on your Word
And heed just what I’ve heard
Lord teach me how to wait
And always trust You’ll never be late
Lord please hear my cry
You know the reason why
I need a blessin from You
A little help to make it thru
I feel like I’m at the end of my rope
But because of You I dare to hope
Lord I’ll cry til I hear a word from You
I know that You’ll come thru
You’ve shown so much love for me
You saved my soul and You set me free
You’re my God and You’re my king
With my lips I’ll let Your praises ring
Lord please hear my cry
You know the reason why
I need a blessin from You
A little help to make it thru
I feel like I’m at the end of my rope
But because of You I dare to hope
Bring Your purposes for me to pass
Because of You, I know these troubles won’t last
Lord please hear my cry
You know the reason why
I need a blessin from You
A little help to make it thru
A little help to make it thru
A little help to make it thru
Psalms 5:1. Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. 2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my king, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 12. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
