POEM 14: LORD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE!

Lord of the Impossible,

Came down to die at Calvary.

Born in a primitive stable,

Just to save humanity.

Lord of the Impossible,

You changed water into wine, 

And surely you are able,

To sanctify this life of mine.

Lord of the Impossible, 

You once calmed the tempestuous sea

And even now you are capable

From trouble to set me free.

Lord of the Impossible,

You enabled the dumb to talk,

Sending away men who were crippled,

Making them to run and walk.

God of the Impossible,

Grant me the faith to always see

That when no hope is visible, 

All is possible with Thee.

POEM 13: LOOK FOR HIM

When life seems without a ray,

And you often cease to pray.

When the cross is too heavy

And you are faint and weary

Look for Him - He's by your side

When everything seems to fail

And the ship does not sail.

When the shore is out of sight ,

And the waves are hard to fight--

Look for Him midst the tide.

Through stretches of desert sands,

Blinded alleys and barren lands.

When the mountain is too high

And no help is nigh --

Look for Jesus, He is your guide.

When the path ahead is long,

And you've tired and forlorn.

When the course of tough to trace,

And all you need is God's grace --

Look for Him He is close beside.

When your life's in confusion, 

Your plans - a mere illusion.

When all friends have forsaken, 

And you have been mistaken.

Look for Him He does abide.

POEM 12: THE FORGOTTEN TREE

Christmas is an exciting time, 

When festivity fills the air, 

There is great joy and merriment,

As for  this season we prepare.

Its the birthday of Christ Jesus - 

Our God's only begotten Son, 

Thus prompting us to celebrate

His birth, with gaiety and fun.

Much importance is oft given, 

To the well adorned Christmas tree,

But all of us should realize

That the cross, too is a tree!

Just look beyond that mean manger, 

And reflect on that awful tree - 

Then the purpose of Jesus' birth, 

Will surely dawn on you and me,

The rugged cross of Calvary,

Is the oft forgotten tree,

But 'twas on that ancient gibbet, 

Christ died for all humanity.

Hence during this festive season,

Its important for all to see---

That the events at Bethlehem

Were completed at Calvary.

POEM 11: GOD'S LOVE

GOD'S LOVE

My sins did Jesus bear, 

When He died on the tree

What else can this show

But love beyond degree?

The pain was so intense,

When there, he bled for me.

God's grace is abundant

His love beyond degree

Who could bestow such grace

On a sinner like me? 

Its only God, who can

Love me beyond degree.
