I'm Walking Into My Tomorrow

Walking Into My Tomorrow
(song)


I’m walking into my tomorrow
With my head held high.
I may glance back a time or two
Just to wave goodbye.

Bye to all the heartaches
And the things that caused me pain.
Walking away from all my sorrows
Leaving behind regrets.

I refuse to let them drag me down,
Like a ball and chain.
The grace of God has set me free
From  what I used to be.

Now I’m walking into my tomorrow
With my head held high,
I’m a born again believer
Given a brand new start.

Dark clouds are all behind me,
The future looks so bright,
As I walk into my tomorrow
With my head held high.

Thank you!

This is a rough draft, I woke up this morning and this was on my mind!


Thank you

A friend who had leprosy just like me,
stretched out his hand and asked,
“What do you see“?

To my amazement new skin was where,
leprosy used to be!
He smiled and said, “This is what Jesus
did for me!”

Then he gave this testimony:

I had heard about Jesus,
how he heals the lame,
how the blind now see
and demons flee!

Then I said in my heart,
Perhaps Jesus can heal leprosy?
So I took a bold step,
I stretched out my hand,
I said to the master,
“If you want to Lord, you can heal me!”

Jesus looked at me with love in his eyes,
“I want to son“, then He touched my hand!”
As you can see I am totally free from the curse of leprosy!

I must leave now, I am going home!

I went and told nine of my friends
Who have this curse, just like me.

Then it happened one day,
We were all so sick, depressed, living in misery.
I looked up and my heart skipped a beat,
What was Jesus doing in a village like this?

Hope sprang up when I remembered my friend,
I was the first to cry out,
“Jesus, Master, have mercy on me!”
The ‘me’ became ‘us’ as we all cried out!

Jesus lifted up his voice and gave this command,
“Go show yourself to the priests!”
We knew immediately what that meant.
Jesus had answered our plea!

As we went, we were made whole!
No more stench, no more shame,
No more screaming, “I am unclean.”

As the others hurried on,
I stopped and glanced back,
Jesus just stood there,
As if waiting on me.

I could not contain myself,
My heart was overwhelmed with thankfulness!
I ran back, I fell at His feet,
“Thank you Jesus for saving a stranger like me!”

Is this not a picture of you and I?
Lost and undone. Living a life of sinful misery.
But Jesus came by and touched our hearts.
Forgave our sins and made us anew!

I don’t know about you my friend,
But it seems to me,
The least I could do, Is fall at His feet
And say, “Thank you!”

My Reflection (humor)

My Reflection




I asked myself,
"Who is that man looking so drab?"
A gray haired fellow,
getting a little bald?
That is impossible!
it's me!
The mirror on the wall
not telling no lie.
"You sir, are not the fairest of them all!"

“Look at you” the mirror seemed to say,
"You have a double chin
underneath that goofy grin,
and where you used to be thin
 flab is moving in!
You have bags under your eyes big enough
you could store nuts from under a tree!”

I counseled with myself,
"Beauty is only skin deep!"
My reflection reminded me
"Ugly is to the bone!"
So I simply closed my eyes
while I brushed my teeth!

I opened my eyes
and I looked at me,
“You’re not so bad for a man
almost fifty-three!”
My reflection looked at me
and said, “I agree!”

If Jesus Can Say to...Then He Can Speak to You!

IF JESUS CAN SAY TO…THEN HE CAN SPEAK TO YOU!

If God can, ‘part the Red sea!’
If God can, ‘cause water to flow out of a rock!’
If God can, ‘move on a Raven to feed a prophet!’
If God can, ‘put meal in a widows barrel!’
If God can, ‘turn bitter waters sweet!’
If God can, ‘Make a Sun dial go backwards!’
If God can, ‘tell the Sun to be still!’

If Jesus can say, “Take up thy bed and walk” and the lame leap for joy!
If Jesus can say “Peace be still!” to a raging storm, and the winds obey Him!
If Jesus can say, “Go wash in the pool Siloam.” and the blind came seeing!
If Jesus can say, “Let down your nests for a draught!” and filled two boats!
If Jesus can say to a woman caught in adultery, “Neither do I condemn thee.”
If Jesus can say to Lazarus after four days dead, “Come forth!” And He came out of the grave!

Then, ‘God can’, do whatever He needs to do,
Say whatever He needs to say,
To see to it that you make it through!
He can speak to you and your need and change your situation!

Need A miracle?
Need forgiveness?
Need A resurrection of faith?
Need Hope?
Need Healing?
Need Happiness?
Need Peace?

Heb 13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
He is not the ‘Great I was’, He is the, “Great I Am!”
Not the God that did, He is the , God that does!
Not the God that could, He is the, God that can!
Not the God that would, He is the’ God that will!
He is the mighty God, not the God that might!
God can, turn your mess into a message!
Turn your  mistake into a miracle!
Turn your test into a testimony!

1Sa 3:9 “… Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth…”









   

Call Him!

Jer 33:3  Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

This scripture brings with it both, hope and a promise. However, before the promise can be fulfilled, and before hope can be received, we must, 'Call unto Him!' God said, "If you call, I will answer." God will not ignore those that call upon Him. I do believe God has caller I.D. He knows who we are and He knows what

 we need. He is just waiting on a call! 

God's promise, "I will show you great and mighty things!" 

For those who call upon the Lord, the Lord brings to them revelation and understanding; miracles both of body and soul. Things that we never imagined would come to us. Blessings of health, blessings of prosperity, blessings of peace and contentment.  It is up to us to make the call. "Do you have His number?" 

The Black Granite Wall

　

　

The Black Granite Wall

I stand in solemn awe,
staring at names
Etched into this polished black
Granite wall.

Too many names
can not read them all,
Nor can I contain myself
Tears begin to fall.

These men and women
Who left husband, wife, children alone
To give their lives in a combat zone.

I stand in solemn awe,
My reflection’s on this black granite wall.
A free man’s staring back at me.
Because fifty-eight thousand two-hundred and seventy-two names
Immortalized on this black granite wall

We Say That We Love

We Say That We Love

by Rick Joe Musick on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 at 10:15pm

We say that we love, but what is love?
Real love came from Christ above.

We say that we love, but does your neighbor know it?
What good is our love if we do not show it?

We say that we care, but do we find it hard to share?
Isn't caring sharing, and bearing another's load?

We say that we love, but what is love?
Love is not simply words alone,
Love is not love unless shown.

True love came from Heaven above,
True love came and eased our pain.
True love came and took our shame!
True love was made manifest on Calvary.

Jesus loved the loveless,
Gave hope to the hopeless,
Washed us in His blood to make us sinless!
That is love!

Our prayer should be:
Lord, Help me to love as you have loved me.
care as you have cared,
Bare as you bared,
To do as you have done!
That would be love
