HEART TREASURE



This is small compilation of poems I've written recently... all of a sudden I wonder if all along the poems that I've written for so many years (two decades) are just me crying on the inside; crying over all who are lost in
this world without Christ; crying over all the opportunities lost because
of sin, crying over the pain of losing someone you love oh so very much! Might the tears of my soul be the ink in my pen? I've always known... 
well at least from the first moment I looked into Ev's eyes and found God's heart that life is a gift, love is a gift, and yes, poetry is a gift; all gifts from God. What does Jesus'disciple James say? Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. Praise the Lord!

LOVE LIVES ON
(CRY NO MORE)

I've stood on the other side watching
the oceans ebb and tide; as life went
out and back again as my eyes grew
wide in amazement. Standing on the
nearest shore I cried to God, "I must
see more!" He took me up where I
could see... Life really isn't all about
me!  I came back down to find myself
suspended again between heaven
and hell. As life continued before my
eyes I grew old and tired and event-
ually died. Now living on the furthest
shore... we dance for joy and cry no
more. Life on earth has come and gone
but in Christ the Lord our love lives on!

If you're anything like me
you have questions
If you're anything like me
you may fear the answers
If you're anything like me
you love God
If you're anything like me
your heart is broken
Still
If you're anything like me
you have no clue without Christ
If you're anything like me
you are easily confused
If you're anything like me
you love Jesus more than life
If you're anything like me
you can't live without His love
Be still
If you're anything like me
you don't like not knowing
If you're anything like me
you have to stand alone
If you're anything like me
you love joy and peace
If you're anything like me
you don't laugh near enough
Still be still
Be still my desperate longing
Be still my soul in Christ alone
Be still my heart while we're apart
Soon we'll be where we belong
Be still my soul

THE OTHER SIDE
I made it through
I'm on the other side
The same old songs I listened to
They don't always make me cry
The sun is back
The Son of God is still mine
The clouds I thought would never leave
Could not stop the sunshine
Joy after grief is a picture of heaven
After trouble hope proves what is right
Peace everlasting is found in Jesus
The world can't open hearts to true light

Some sadness still lingers
The memory of her smile is still on my mind
But thanks to Jesus I know where my friend is
And soon we'll be together on the other side
Amen

HEART TREASURE

From the beginning - the very start,
God had purpose for the human heart;
Before creation took its first breath,
He put an end to sin and death.

Eons before time ever began,
God had a perfectly wonderful plan;
He knew all the songs you'd sing to Him,
He helped write the ones you're singing.

God knows how to make souls well,
His own compassion is ours to have;
No heart is stolen from His perfect love,
Take hold of Jesus - His love is enough.

What God has is a sovereign plan,
To prosper and keep His children from harm;
Trust in Jesus and continue loving people,
For we are the treasure of His heart.
