Honoring God

If what you have doesn’t meet your need,
Be wise enough to turn it to seed.
Plant it and water it every day,
With faith in your heart and the words you say.

For God wants our life to be abundant,
That’s the reason His Son was sent.
To give us a joyful life of victory,
That we would live to bring Him glory.

So honor Him in all you do,
And His strength will see you through,
There’s blessings on the other side of pain
The joyful life is ours to gain.

Keep your eyes focused on Him
Don’t let your vision turn within.

Christmas Boy

Christmas, the day of Jesus’ birth,
When God sent His son to earth.
A peasant girl was to bring,
Unto us this newborn King

In a manger He was born,
Early on a winter’s morn.
With the animals on some hay,
Is the place our Savior lay.

During His childhood and as He grew,
He had a life like me and you.
He was royalty that didn’t show,
And so the people did not know.

Nothing but a carpenter in their eyes,
Not the Messiah, who heard their cries.
Emmanuel, the Prince of peace,
Sent so strife and struggle could cease.

Grace and mercy He offered us,
When He died upon the cross.
To wash away our earthly sins
In us a new life could begin.

God could’ve given Him a different life
Full of royal favors; void of strife.
Fishermen for disciples, a peasant for a mother,
God surely could have chosen many others.

He worked then as He works today,
Using the lowly and the broken to say,
My strength is where you are weak,
The earth will be inherited by the meek.

Trust in me, you can’t go wrong,
In your heart, I’ll put a song,
In your life, I’ll give you joy,
If you have faith in this Christmas boy.
