LOST

By: Stephen Hills

I went years thinking my good works

were sending me to that place.

I didn’t know that it meant nothing

without having faith.



I thought I was wise enough

to know who was evil and who was going to hell.

I didn’t realize I was one of them

until that day I fell.



I believed God was our Creator

and I knew He was there.

I just didn’t do anything with it -

I didn’t really care.



I didn’t need God back then.

I was doing just fine all on my own.

But life can change in a split second

and everything can be gone.



He could have let me go that day,

but I wouldn’t have been with Him.

Instead He gave me a second chance

and for that I will be grateful until the end.



Back then the Bible meant nothing to me.

It was just a book that religious people read.

Now that my eyes have been opened,

I know it is the only way my soul can be fed.



I can do nothing on my own.

I am just an ordinary man.

But with the power of God

I can do anything He says I can.



Someday I will be in Heaven

and I will learn the rest of the story.

But until then I will remain here on earth

sharing God’s glory

GOD IS THERE
By: Stephen Hills

God is there
morning, noon, and night.
God is there with us
When we do wrong or when we do right.

God was there during our birth
And throughout all of our life,
God made man
to be a husband and for woman to be his wife.

God is there when times are tough
and when things are going good.
God is there always
Like He promised He would.

God is there waiting patiently
for us to hear His voice.
God is there watching
over all of His girls and boys.



God is there when we are happy
And He is there when we are sad.
God is there for us to worship
whole heartedly -He is not a temporary fad.

God was there
when they crucified the Son of Man.
God was there
on the third day
when Jesus rose just as He planned.

God is there
when we are jealous, angry, or when we complain.
God is there
for us always and that will never change.

God is there
to forgive us if we have faith in His one and only Son,
God makes this wonderful gift available
to each and everyone.

God will not be with those who fail to believe
that Jesus died for our sins.
God will have tears in his eyes
for all the lost souls Satan wins.

Free Will
By: Stephen Hills

Free will is a gift from God,
that we will never lose.
He desperately wants us to love Him
and He allows us to choose.

If we didn’t have the choice,
we would never know that He
is so good.
It wouldn’t be real any other way
and this
God understood.

Not everyone chooses Him
and that saddens God very much.
Some people deny Him
because God can’t be seen or touched.


God has the power
to make us do what He wants.
He can make us obey
Instead
He decided to earn our love -
to Him there was no other way.

He was willing to sacrifice many
when He gave us that power.
God so loves us,
He will save us even -
on our last hour.

Don’t take what God gave us for granted.
You may find yourself on the other side,
I’m going to follow Jesus
and when I die,
Heaven is where I will reside.

Temptation
By: Stephen Hills

Satin makes it easy,
He tempts us day and night.
God will not let him have us,
without a Spiritual fight.

Many material things on earth
can easily be earned.
Those things mean nothing
and someday will be burned.

What is of value
we cannot see.
It is the Spirit of God
that lives inside you and me.

Don’t be a fool and give in to
the wants of your flesh.
Denying yourself from those things
is part of the test.

Your pride here on earth
can keep you from the Lord,
being humble and faithful is what He adores.

The answer is simple
and is available to all -
Follow Jesus
and don’t let yourself fall.
