There Is No Better Time
There Is No Better Time There are so many argumentsOf dates and source and rightsThat mingle with this Christmas timeAnd it’s commercial lights.

A Haunting Melody
A Haunting Melody In the midst of all the clamourThat a Christmas Season brings,There is a haunting melodyThat in the chaos rings. It speaks of God’s compassion,Of His boundless love and grace,A manger with a baby smallTo save the human race. It points to His perfectionAs the chosen Lamb of God,As countless steps are chronicledUpon […]
Thou, the Answer
Thou, the Answer War and bloodshed, death, despair,Deep, depressive world of care,Sordid darkness, choking night,Sinking downwards without light. Light of Heaven, shine below,Through the darkness send Thy glow.Let the needy world perceiveThou, the answer to their need. Thou, a baby fragile smallCame to give your life, your all.God an infant, can it be,He would leave […]
Laden with Burdens
Laden with Burdens Laden with burdens, men sink in despair.Life is a struggle; they’re burdened with care.Leaden the sky, as they cry out in vain;No-one will answer and deaden the pain. Others with burdens as large as the restFound out the secret, with joy they confessed,“Christ took our burden, He carries our load.Into His arms, […]
The King Desires My Beauty

Among the Shouting Crowd
Among the Shouting Crowd She lay among the shouting crowd,Condemned, accused, despised;A woman who had stooped so low”Kill her!” the angry cries. And then the Saviour came, drew near.He gazed upon their rage;Read the life book of their lives,Each self righteous page, Bending and writing in the sand.Men did blush for shame.Was it hidden sin […]

Repentance
Repentance Dear Father, I bow in repentance.In sorrow I come unto thee.For years I have spurned thy salvation.Sin was too attractive to me.

The Samaritan Woman at the Well
The Samaritan Woman at the Well Her heart was filled with sin and mire,With bitterness and hate.Just looking at the life she ledHer fallen, low down state.

No Room
No Room Man, you resist God, His calling,Stilling His voice every day; Man, you resist God, His calling,Stilling His voice every day;Suppressing, hardening your conscience,Heedlessly going your way.
