Where The Christians Are

When the Christians become weak
the devil's there to speak
because the devil's not too far
from where the Christians are.

When Christians make a mistake
it's all for heaven's sake
Christians are in spiritual warfare
all Christians need a prayer.

The devil steals and destroys
and he has many decoys
so please don't judge Jesus
on sins committed by us.

Because the devil's not too far
from where the Christians are.

And another by Tammy...

A Call For All

I have no fear
I'll tell you why
Jesus is here
I will never die.

I opened my heart
and let Him in
the very best part
I am born again.

One thing I know
He saved me too
He loves me so
He made me new.

If you need hope
If you need love
If you can't cope
Look to Him above.

If you just believe
If you'll let Him in
He will never leave
you'll be born again.

You'll have no fear
You will know why
Jesus is there
You will never die.

So I beg you please
To open your eyes
Get on your knees
God offers no lies.

You ask what's this
This is your call
A call you can't miss
He died for all.

5/18/99 - I hope you'll enjoy this poem sent to me today by EMMA...

Lord - I have a question

Me: Lord I have a question, in fact I have many more.
I'm scared of hearing the answers, but I need to know for sure.
As you hung there on the cross, dying and in pain,
Did you ever think of me? Did you whisper out my name?
Did you see the future? The way my life would go?
Were those tears you cried for me Lord? I really need to know.

Lord: My child as I was dying, hurting and in pain.
It was for you that I was crying, and yes I whispered your name.

Me: Lord, I have another, if that's ok with you.
People say all sorts of things, but I need to know what's true.
Did you ever think of giving up, of leaving me on my own?
Did you ever feel like me Lord? Scared and all alone.
Did you think everyone had left you, as you hung upon the tree?
Did you wish you could take away the pain you were suffering for me?

Lord: My Child as I lay dying, I did not think of my pain.
I thought of how much I loved you and of what you my child would gain.

Me: Lord I know I've let you down and often gone my own way.
But I know that you've been with me, every single day.
You've never dropped my hand from yours, you've kept me by your side.
Its time for me to come to you, and lay aside my pride.
I know how much you love me, and what you did for me that day.
The pain you suffered while thinking of me - a debt I can never repay.

Lord: My Child as I lay dying, I knew you'd go your way.
But the pain I went through was worth it, for you've come back to me today.

AND NOW... FROM LISSA!!

Beauty of the Sea

Man I sit here looking out
At the beauty of Your sea
How, my Lord, can they think
That You may not be?

How can they sit here
Looking out at Your creation
And not know of
Your love and salvation?

Why don't You make them see?
Why don't You make them believe?
Why don't you make them understand
What they can not concieve?

God I am sorry, my dear child
I have done all I can
Now it is up to you
To show my love to man

Man Father, why can't they see You
When they look out at the sea?
How can they still think
That You may not be?

God My child they are blinded
By the sin they have done
All they need is for someone to show them
You are that one

Now go and show the world
All the things I have done
And always remember, my child,
That with me you have already won

Man What, Father, can I do
That you have not already done?
With all that you have shown them
You should have already won

God Have faith, my child,
In what I have said
Go and tell the world
That I am no longer dead

I have shown them my glory
Now you show them my word
Go now and tell all
Of what you have heard

Man Lord, will I go alone
Or will you go with me?
Will you be by my side
Or where will you be?

God Do not fear dear one
For I will be near
You may not see me
But me you will hear

I will tell you all
You need to know
The words you want
I will show

I will not be in body
So you will not see
But do not discourage
For next to you will be me.
I will be there forever

Right by your side
You can count on me
Like the incoming tide.
