If I Love You Less, Then How Can I Call You Lord!

If I love You less,
Then how can I call You "Lord"!
If I love You less,
Then how can I say "I'm not lost"!
If I love You less,
Then what I'm supposed to be
After all You've done for me
If I love You less.

Did You love me less
That you gave Yourself for me?
Did You love me less
That You bore my pain for me?
Did You love me less
That You proved You cared for me?
You came to set me free!
No, You didn't love me less.

I can never ask You to love me more

It's Your love that really makes me whole

The love that's best

Can I love You less,

You're my eternity!

Can I love You less,

You paid the price for me!

Can I love You less,

For all that's mine is Yours,

You won me through the cross.

How can I love You less!

Isaiah

How quickly do the cycles run,
Summer, rainy, winter, return.
But life is not a cycle -
If it were, we could always mend our yesterday.
Yet, one awaits the future to somehow mend his today.
How weird such futile hopes deceive us into wrong each day.

How long will it be before
The truth vanquishes all vanity.
But man is a vapor -
Yet, all that he needs is a bit of heaven's fire.
A coal from the altar, or else life slips down into hellish mire.
How meaningless to reject what is fact to make room for feelings.
Lord, sanctify! Sanctify.......!!!

The Morning Moon

Awaiting the awaking of the daystar on the other end
The night keeps its radiance still glowing through the morn
It stands still over the horizon, over the expanse of sky and sea
Gently, quietly, beaming in fullest vigor
Your night may be long, but nights do end
Your moon keeps the watch through the night
And still remains when the dawn begins.

Faith (Poem)

The heart of faith has no presumption,
It simply trusts His Word.
It stands secure, and in His Promise
Finds eternal worth.

The eyes of faith will never tire,
Though deeper gets the night;
They hope ignited by the fire
Of God’s Eternal Light.

The dreams of faith are dreams of glory;
Not earthly name or fame.
A child may write another history,
If he’s of God ne’er ashamed.

Faith will worship God forever;
For faith alone, in truth, sees Him.
Faith is an unceasing river
Of praise and worship to the King.

Faith listens and faith obeys,
Faith moves on and never stays,
Faith is strong and faith grows stronger
And never falters in His ways.

Faith offers its all to God
Not a thing to itself left;
For faith’s true rest and meaning
Are in the bosom of His chest.
