I heard the bells on Christmas DayTheir old, familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good-will to men! And thought how, as the day had come,The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along The unbroken songOf peace on earth, good-will to men! Till ringing, singing on its way,The world revolved from night to …

I’m Spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this Year
I see the countless Christmas trees,Around the world below.With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars,Reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular,Please wipe away that tear.For I’m spending Christmas,With Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs,That people hold so dear.But the sounds of music can’t compare,With the Christmas choir up here. For …

Interrupt Me, Lord
Interrupt me, Lord, When my thoughts don’t align with yours, When my vision is too small, And my goals are self-serving. Interrupt me, Lord. When I insist on my own way, When my plans upstage your purpose, And my steps drift off course. Interrupt me, Lord, When fear overshadows faith, When seeds of worry and …
Ode to Autumn
Autumn arrived last night, lugging its trappings of hot chocolate, soft wooly sweaters, bright orange pumpkins, and bold hues of copper, amber, gold, and candlelight red. Autumn is not timid like Spring but bursts forth with brisk winds, rustling leaves, crisp mornings, and harvest moons. Creek beds that tumbled and gurgled throughout the summer slow …

Not What You Want But What God Wants
Do you want what you want when you want it? Do you pray and expect a reply? And when it’s not instantly answered Do you feel that God passed you by? Well, prayers that are prayed in this manner Are really not prayers at all, For you can’t go to God in a hurry And …
The Blessings of Patience and Comfort
Realizing my helplessness, I’m asking God if He will bless The thoughts you think and all you do So these dark hours you’re passing through Will lose their grave anxiety And only deep tranquility Will fill your mind and help impart New strength and courage to your heart. So take the Savior’s loving hand And …
It’s In the Valleys We Grow
Sometimes life seems hard to bear,Full of sorrow, trouble and woeIt’s then we have to rememberThat it’s in the valleys we grow. If we always stayed on the mountain topAnd never experienced pain,We would never appreciate God’s loveAnd would be living in vain. We have so much to learnAnd our growth is very slow,Sometimes we …
Faith is a Mighty Fortress
We look ahead through each changing yearWith mixed emotions of hope and fear —Hope for the peace we long have sought,Fear that our hopes will come to naught.Unwilling to trust in the Father’s will,We count on our logic and shallow skill,And in our arrogance and pride,We are no longer satisfiedTo place our confidence and loveWith childlike …
