My Poems

  Visit Him

If you don’t know Jesus,
Go visit Him a while.
Once you get to know Him,
You’ll want to be His child.

He’ll tell you about His mercy,
He’ll save you by His grace.
He’ll tell you that He’s busy
Preparing you a place.

He’ll take your visit with Him,
Turn it into a lifelong stay.
He’ll always be with you—
Forever and a day!

God Is In The Closet

I met my Lord and Savior,
Many years ago.
I brought Him home to live with me
Because I loved Him so.

I put Him in the closet
Because I had things to do.
What happened to my love for Him,
He's in there with the shoes!

Well, all those things I had to do
became a great big mess.
I couldn't understand it,
I did my very best.

Then one day I heard a knock
coming from the closet door.
I was my Lord and Savior,
My heart began to soar.

He ask me if I was ready
To let Him take control.
He straightened out my great big mess,
He straightened out my soul.

Now He's with me in the bedroom
As I start each new day.
Guiding every step I take
As I go along the way.

He's with me in the kitchen,
He's with me in the den.
He stays with me throughout the house
Whatever room I'm in.

He's with me when I leave my home
And face a world of sin.
We leave His shining light of love
Everywhere we've been.

He did not forsake me,
His promises are true.
I hold His hand tightly now
In everything I do.

My Lord and Savior is with me,
I take Him everywhere.
He's not inside the closet,
Why would I put Him there?

Paper Dolls, Paper Dolls

Paper Dolls, Paper Dolls

Where did you go?

Oh how I loved you

So long ago.

I packed you away
One quiet day,
Thinking I'd outgrown
Our childhood play.

How I wish I had you again

And we could play and remember when

Days gone by just you and me

Oh how wonderful that would be.
