What can I say? Inspired by God, written by me!!! Enjoy!

 

   

I Am

If I do not become what you expect of me,
Will I not reach my potential?

If I do not speak the grammar you want to hear,
Will communication be my downfall?

If I do not get the grades you feel I should,
Will failure always lead me?

If your love and expectation go hand in hand,
Will I still be someone worth loving ?

It is not that I am because you say I am!
Nor that I'm not because you say I'm not!
But I am because "I AM" says I am!

What is Ministry Anyway?

The way I dress and wear my hair
I don't know why should you care
The only question I have today?
What is ministry anyway?

Where I live, who my folks be
Just wondering if you could tell me
The only question I have today?
What is ministry anyway?

His black is dull, His white is dim
Don't you even talk to him!
The only question I have today?
What is ministry anyway?

I came here hungry and left here worse
My belly full, my spirit cursed
The only question I have today?
What is ministry anyway?

Now those who are called to impact the souls
Be not careless with the treasure you hold
To you I pose a question today?
What is ministry anyway?

Without A Doubt

Why does the idea of caring for our own

strike such an uncomfortable blow?

 

Why does reaching out to help our fellow brother

dishearten those you know?

 

Why does a "Hand out" and a "hand up"

seem so very hard to do?

 

Why does loving thy neighbor as thyself

not apply to you?

 

If what you do for Christ my friend

you do as a limited task,

 

And the four walls you call the church

you're just using as a mask.

 

If with your hearts you cannot hear

a brother crying out...

 

It is you who needs to find the Lord,

and that's without a doubt.
