Counting the Ways

By Joyce Lock

 How do we love Thee, Oh, Lord?
Let us count the ways.

We're loving you when we worship you,
praise you, and our service is for you.

We're loving you when we're honest,
open, and real.

We're loving you when we walk with you,
talk with you, and glean upon your every word.

We're loving you when we have compassion,
show mercy, and forgive.

We're loving you when we believe in you,
wait upon you, and take steps of faith.

We're loving you when we're meek, humble,
and are not offended with another's weakness.

We're loving you when we seek you,
obey you, and see things in your eyes.

We're loving you when we keep our heart,
actions, and motives pure.

We're loving you when we meet needs,
give you credit, and allow you first place.

We're loving you when we don't see stature,
gender, religion, education, or color.

We love you in, Oh, so many ways, Lord.
But when we love you enough to feed your sheep,

IT'S THE REAL THING.

A Glimpse of Heaven

By Joyce Lock

Just close your eyes, imagine yourself
Seeing Jesus right next to the shelf.

Envision Him on your very wall.
Draw yourself in. You can have a ball.

What the picture might could be about -
You and Jesus by a waterspout.

Maybe you see He is carrying you
Through your trials, as He's always true.

Remember when He knocked upon your door.
Worship, Praise, and in Him Adore.

You can see all He has done for you.
You can tell Him that you love Him, too.

When you're in this special awesome place,
You can reach up - touch His Holy face.

This is what I call Heavenly Bliss.
It's just a glimpse of what Heaven is.

Just Remember

 By Joyce Lock

When you feel tested and tried
And all worn out inside,
Just Remember...
God is by your side.

When you have lost your best friend
And it feels like the end,
Just Remember...
Another He'll send.

When you feel like a good cry
But you just don't know why,
Just Remember...
God is standing by.

When the day seems to grow cold
Because you're getting old,
Just remember...
Your hand He will hold.

When there's a heart you can't mend -
That needs someone to tend,
Just Remember...
Jesus will be their friend.

 Who Can Know the Heart?

By Ronna Miles

Who can know the intent of my heart

And what it holds so true?

Only God sees deep inside me;

He doesn’t expect you to.

Who can know the intent of my heart

And why I feel this way?

Only God knows my very thoughts

Each and every day.

Who can know the intent of my heart

And see the pain I feel?

Only God knows my every hurt

And what it takes to heal.

Who can know the intent of my heart

And who I am deep inside?

Only God could create a heart

In which He could abide

Who can know the intent of my heart

And make me whole again?

Only God can make me clean

And wash me free from sin.

Who can know the intent of my heart

And start my life anew?

Only God in His infinite wisdom

Knows just what to do.

So, who can know the heart, my friends?

I think we know by now.

God alone will judge the heart

As only He knows how.
