What can I

20/9/2016

What can I produce
With the work of my hands
If my Lord Jesus
Is not giving the commands

What can I deduce
With the thoughts of my mind
If my Lord Jesus
Is not there to define

What can I become
In this lifetime
If my Lord Jesus
Is not removing the grime

What can come out
Of my circumstance
If my Lord Jesus
Is not holding the stance

What can I aspire
To bring forth
If my Lord Jesus
Is not directing me north

What can I do
To save my life
If my Lord Jesus
Did not remove the strife

Like No Other

20/9/2016

My dear Lord Jesus
The Master Creator
There is no other
Whose Rule is greater

The seas may rage
And the thunders roar
But with You, Lord
I will soar

My strength may fail
As I face war
But in You, Lord
I will go far

The world may hate
And make me fall
But through You, Lord
I will stand tall

My tears may fall
Like a large downpour
But for Your purpose
I will fight for

The heat may melt
The cold may freeze
But Your Love is felt
Like a soft warm breeze

My dear Lord God
Most Loving Father
Your Mercy and Grace
Is like no other

Who can compare

10/10/2016

Can there be anyone
Who can compare
To the Father with
Such great a love to share
 
Can there be anyone
Who can compare
Whose Own Son
He did not spare

Can there be anyone
Who can compare
To Jesus the Holy Son
Our sins His shoulder bear

Can there be anything
That can compare
With such a loving way
To demonstrate His care

Can there be anything
That can compare
With such a Grace
To negate eternal despair

Am I able?
 
10/10/2016

What am I able to do?
On my own indeed
Jesus, without You
There can be no deed

Am I able to see?
Without Your Eyes
There will definitely be
No vision in the skies

Blind with no goal
Nor direction to follow
Emptiness in the soul
Pouring tears of sorrow

Am I able to hear?
Without Your Voice
Nothing will be clear
To make the right choice

Am I able to think?
Without Your Wisdom
My mind would wander
In aimless boredom

Am I able to live?
Without Your Life
My heart would grieve
Heavy with strife

Am I able to breathe?
Without Your Breath
My breath would cease
And surely end in death

Am I able without You?
Most certainly not, Lord
For what can I do
On my own accord

Here are the other 4 poems:

1. The Son
2. God's Refining Skill
3. Reveal The Hope
4. The Only Way

The Son
 
21/9/2016

Walk to the Light
The Bright Shining One
Standing right in sight
Behold, He is the Son

Such beauty and wonder
From near to yonder
No other can ponder
All the Son's splendour

Will you allow
Yourself to delight
In the shadow
Of the Son's plight

Do you believe
That you may receive
Forgiveness and peace
His Righteousness appease

There is no other
Who can gather
The flock together
Towards the Father

Only in Him
The Glorious Son
To dwell within
And be as one

Who is this One
Amazing Son
None other than Jesus
The Holy Son

God's Refining Skill

28/9/2016

The storm has come
With the high tide
Tossing and turning
With no where to hide

The heat of the desert
Is rising within
Melting my heart
Changing the scene

Destroying the pride
Clearing the sin
Humbling my soul
Purifying within

He directs me north
As the cloud clears
That I may go forth
Overcoming my fears

Building my spirit
In line with His Will
Grateful am I for
God's refining skill

Reveal the Hope

28/9/2016

Where is the hope?
When does it come by?
Can it be found
By those who cry?

Will they ever find
The hope of life
If it is not revealed
To those in strife

Does silence ever find
Its way into the lives
Of those who seek to find
The hope for their lives

Will you be the salt and light
For Jesus to be revealed
In those whose plight
Is to unveil the concealed

Let your light so shine
That it may reveal the hope
In Christ Jesus to the lives
Who seek and grope

Be the one who picks up
The fallen and lost
Directing their path
To what they hope most

The Only Way

15/11/2016

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I would sway

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I would be in dismay

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I've nothing to display

What can I do
What can I say
For without You
I would decay

What I can do
Is to say
That Jesus is Lord
And the only Way
