If I had any solid stand at all,Tis’ not a stand so wrought within my mind.Not tis’ a stand that’s wrought from human thoughts,Which sways and turns with ebb and flow of time. If I had any solid stand at all,Tis’ but the stand that God wrote in His Word.Tis’ but the timeless teaching found […]

O! Blessed be my God who gave Thy Word That sinners far and near may hear and turn And hasten now to Thee, Redeemer King. Salvation Thou dost give – none Thou dost spurn. O! Not just saving grace from Thee does flow, But words for daily life, both big and small. From sin to […]
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 I praise Thee God, that Thou deliv’rest me From the insanity of all my mind When once of human wisdom I thought high; Above these lofty thoughts, the wisdom mine. But thrice my God did crush my prideful soul And […]
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 9:24 If there be anything that I shall glory in, Let it be this, my Lord, my God, That Thou hast giv’n to me, a lowly sinful worm, The precious […]

Thus so I find, while this long week soon ends, My strength alone cannot sustain this load. Except Thy hand supports, […]
God gives to us gifts to serve. Let this be a reminder to use these gifts to glorify His Name alone, and not to take pride in them. May God give the grace to help us. For all the gifts Thou givest me, let me not lift myself in pride, but humbly lay prostrate ‘fore Thee, […]
My thanks to Thee, O LORD, for peace within, when all around doth tempt my soul to sin. The arrows soar with Satan’s scorching flames, but wondrous peace I find in Jesus’s Name. A mighty fortress is the LORD my God. There hide His children, safe from Satan’s hordes. A solid Rock which shall not […]
This poem was sparked when I was looking through the past posts in my previous blog, which I have not touched for some time. There was one post in which I wrote, in which I am moved to remember that when we fix our sight on the things of this earth, it seems so difficult […]
When tender hearts are wounded deep, and souls are broken, frail and weak, Thou canst restore our souls, O LORD, Thou canst restore our souls, O God. When tender hearts are hardening, and sin and darkness slow seeps in, Thou canst restore our souls, O LORD, Thou canst restore our souls, O God. When tender […]
