Too hard for me to say goodbye For all apparent reasons why Even though we all know it must be Each heart will someday stop the beat When the rhythm of life, and silence, finally meet . Yet I always seem so surprised To find that death is part of life Knowing that regret, will now haunt my every rhyme The specter called "if only", will inhabit every line. Wish I could arbitrate a deal to have gained a little time Just one more talk with Sissy, to ease my guilty mind. . And the sun now sets on my regrets I gamble on time and lose each bet Thinking I'll move on and yet, here I set . . . Wishing for one more time One more pun One more smile That will never come . If I could just recall the things you said that mattered to you most. Memories un memorized That now I'll never know Years of conversation when I didn't pay attention Times I should have said I love you And somehow failed to mention . Then when you tried to tell me you felt your time was drawing near Your selfish little brother pretended not to hear. Even when you did your best, and tried to let me know You'd made your peace and you were ready, and that for you . . . It was simply time to go
Lord., I've Been Hurting! This one thing I am most certain… Lately I've been really hurtin'. I trying to do right, but it turns out "wrong." Where, in life, do I really belong? So many people pass me by. Sometimes, someone may say; "hi!" I don't know if this message is getting across? I feel so confused and completely lost. A message of "help" has my prayer and plea… For God to reach out to me! He reached down and made me whole! HIS love and compassion filled my soul! Spending time with Jesus is time well spent! It was for you and me that Jesus was sent! By Jim Pemberton
I'm lost hurt and angry Why did you take his life I want, No I need to know Tell me, Tell me why I deserve to know Haven't you done enough to him What'd he ever do to you He suffered his whole life Suffered more than anyone deserved Tell me, Tell me why you did it I have a right to know Why'd you let him born to them Born to worthless parents Parents who didn't care They threw him away like garbage Pawned him off on someone else Tell me, Tell me why Explain how you could do that You gave him Polio You let others treat him like disease You took away the full use of his legs You warped his hand and foot Tell me, Explain to me why I deserve to know You let others think he was crazy You let it go on for over year You didn't stop it, Why Tell me, Give me your reason Answer me God, Help me to understand You go and make matters worse You gave him Cancer You didn't give him a chance to fight back You just jerked him away from us Tell me, Tell me how How you could be so cruel How can others not question you When others do it, It's murder But when it's by your hand It's your will, Their fate Tell me, What makes you so different Your no better than the demons knocking at the door You heard me beg and plead You know I'm not afraid to die I was willing to carry it all for him I was willing to take my Daddy's place You didn't even let me say Goodbye Tell me, Tell me why I couldn't take his place Answer me God, you owe me that much Spiritual
What Is This Church All About? Is this church meant for people like me? Is this where God really wants me to be? They claim to be filled with God's spirit. When it comes to HIS truth... Can they give it? I'm sure there's many who come and attend It's more than "church on Sunday," that we must spend! We must reach out to the lost and the oppressed! After all, Christ gave us his very best! May we all preach the gospel and God's holiness! And strive to seek his awesome righteousness! Living for Jesus must be a daily walk and experience! Not simply based on our "ambitious self appearance." God isn't interested in a denomination or a title… He wants to know… Do we really believe the Bible? He's not interested in the money put in the offering plate. He wants to know; "Are you ready to enter heaven's gate?" May we strive to serve Jesus with a zeal and passion! And be filled with his holiness and compassion! May we serve Jesus from a heart of humbled confession! And making our commitment to him, our #1 possession! "Unless the Lord builds the house." They labor in vain that build it! Let's seek the power of God! May his presence completely fill it!! By Jim Pemberton
Here lies the best Grandfather, One who was very considerate. Remembering him as a child, I would sit on his lap. He was a rare person indeed. He was a colonel in the Army. Also superlative of a gentelman. Here lies the best grandfather, May he rest in peace.
Because tears are meant To be a symbol of strength Even in hard days.
The warm light calls me And all the people who cries for thee I raise my hand in this abyss Only to make one wish To float among the others With all my sisters and brothers I call out for forgiveness with passion I take their pain into myself for this occasion The moment that I see the sky I will not look back and cry My body is laying still People standing by it with a chill The air gets dense with sadness I would not think of it less Some people look up and down To see the light hit the ground Some can vision the uplifting feeling they see One soul that has been and always be It is special to notice such aberration And that might be how souls are awaken
Man's Corruption... God's Redemption! The Bible speaks of man's sin and corruption. That's why God has offered us, his redemption! The heart is desperately wicked above all things. There's an evil corruption that sin brings! The Lord searches our heart and tests our ways. He watches our lives, all of our days! There's nothing good in ourselves. Not now, or ever! Without God's mercy... We're doomed forever! But, through Christ, there's a way and a plan! He made this available to every woman and man! His gift of salvation is a message of love, made clear! The coming of Jesus Christ, draws ever so near! We can trade our sinful corruption, for a new way of living! Won't you come before the Lord, with a heart of giving? Giving our life to Jesus, is the best thing to do! By his power and grace, you can be made BRAND NEW! I'm thankful for his salvation! Mercy has been applied! Because of Christ' death on the cross… I'm now sanctified! By Jim Pemberton
I can act insane But DO NOT Make me feel worthless I belong in God's family He will bless my future generation Don't punish me for Being myself – Don't envy my glee I can act like an Adult, but I'd Prefer to have joy… Not stress… That piles upon us in our Everyday lives Being childlike is A rare beauty – No one prizes it… No one came across it… In this lifetime… I can laugh all day I can make you smile If you'd accept my Childlike dreams of mine Don't treat me like a sick swine Renew my young heart Give me the ability To kill the old man… I have my place in God's family He'll be adored and glorified We'll exchange prayers and hugs By my future generation I beg of you – Don't kill my childlike mentality I'll behave myself… I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy I'll still have pieces of a child in me And pass it on to my future generation…
I stare upon December's moon, and wonder why some leave so soon. When news hits us like shattered glass... Can we believe what's come to pass? When we aren't meant to understand... Then who are we to judge God's plan? As he sifts through the sands of time... Was this really by design? Will we get from here to there, and know it when we do? Will we greet our flesh and blood, and those we never knew? Remember those that mean the most, and hear their voices ring. Then shut your eyes...and listen close, and you'll hear an angel sing...

There's a Web of Temptation and Sin! There's a web of temptation and a lot of sin… That brings slavery and a strong bondage within! Throughout this land, there's an evil surge! While many lives, seem to be getting "submerged!" Being submerged, into a life, that many believe in. They become perverted, but want all to receive them! The "love and acceptance," that many desire. Puts them on a tightrope! A very thin wire! As the web of temptation and sin begin to grow. It brings a bondage that damages the soul! They may want to have "love and acceptance." But in their hearts, needs to be a godly repentance! May the holiness of a righteous God be stirred! That all will come back, to the truth of his word! His son Jesus, came to the cross! He bled and died! That through him, our lives can be totally sanctified! Only the power of God, can bring a needed restoration! He gives to one and all… A heavenly invitation! Whosoever will… Come now! And accept him! Won't you take the time, to really know him? Don't allow the web of life to destroy and overcome you! Come to Jesus now! He really does LOVE YOU! By Jim Pemberton
They praise me like a saint, But I am a sinner; They don't know the man they see. I am an addict. Broken eyes to pornography, Only Jesus can set me free. Only by His death on the cross And the grace of His Father's love Am I able to be set free. With God as The Light, The One and Only Light, The Only Hope in sight, Will I be set free. I am free.
I have fallen victim so many times To nobody's fault except only mine. I will ask for forgiveness and have faith, Even though I feel like I am not saved.
As sin and perversion often become integrated… So many lives and families are being "disintegrated." Many are being driven by sin's temptation force… It's no wonder much of this country is way "off course." The morality and values that once made a great nation. Are evaporating…. Leading to a "spiritual separation." Love, honor, and respect of God… Is often a "thing of the past." Anything of God seems to be disappearing FAST! God is our only hope! And him alone! Only he can bring healing to our broken homes! He's the answer to this wounded nation, that bleeds! It's only God that can meet all of our needs! He's our provider… The great: "I am!" Won't you reach out to him? And give him your hand? Why not give him a chance? And allow him in? A brand new life for you… Is waiting to begin! May we allow God's holiness and love to reach down into our hearts… Asking; "Lord please forgive our sins!" Is a good place to start! By Jim Pemberton
I did it again; I need forgiven. Will He still forgive me even though I've fallen before? I've fallen into these same sins countless times before; I still haven't learned my lesson. I am an ignorant hypocrite. Am I still forgiven?
Rob me of my purity, But once again it's all my fault; Fell into the trap of false promises Because I pressed play instead of pause.
It's been nine years, I have counted the tears- they have made trails of guilt worried into my heart then filled with loneliness and bitter despair but by your grace I have been shown... For the first time, in these nine years, I have not wept nor held a vigil to honor our grief though the loss still burns, this time it is transformed Peace from your love still reaches through death and through your eternal love I am reborn It is Good Friday. When God took your spirit home and left me dying to know, how to love him for his sacrifice when he asked me to give up you? How do I heal this death and rise with you in his arms? Through your love I was born, and in your arms I grew and it has been your love the kept me whole that taught me how to be reborn for even though your body has gone your words lost in the wind and breath no more The essence of grace and strength you lived - it grows still in your daughter soul My being and existence came from your womb my heart and mind shaped by your enlightenment I have lived a life you gave me and for once I live it in pride to honor your sacrifice your words giving me the guidance I'd lost nine years ago. Alas, I've come to know, that as you died and went home with our Lord, you saved me from my death not in your dying, my grief and love can attest, but in your living strength and loving example you showed me how to live a life open to our Father's gift We knew it would not wait, but the parting was too fast. I sat in thought three days before your sleep and asked, "In three days time my savior died, I wonder hence what of my soul will rise with his?" And now sitting Easter morning, holding my sons candy-filled basket, I realized Three days passed. He took you home Friday morn, but left me love, that eternal love that never dies whose comfort is unending I honor your love by giving it to my children and Easter morning I felt your hug, your kiss, and knew you have never left me . Though God took you home Mom I know you have never left me for as our Savior died and rose you too still live in my heart, showing me proof our Father's blessings because you, my love, are my soul and all ready there there fore I am strong enough to give this pain up to honor his sacrifice and transcend, to be humbled by the grace and mercy that could forgive such lost lambs as I
I cannot get into heaven God I have tried! Suicide is a double edge sword Especially when you survive! Walking the streets at night Dazed and confused Longing to be loved Wondering... When is Mum, coming for me? "Does she still love me?" "Does she still care?" "Does she still think of me?" "Does she wonder, where I am?" I want her to come find me I want her to say she 'loves me' I want her to comfort me I want her to take me home And keep me safe And not forget hat I exist Like the way she treats me now I wish God Could make my Mum Magically appear Making this hellish nightmare On the street Disappear! "Send my Mum please!" So, all this can end! Before this last ray of hope Diminishes for good! I don't want to become The walking dead Forever forgotten as if I was never born! For this is the cruel, harsh reality Of living life, feeling unloved Uncared for, abandoned, Left to fend for my own A dangerous killer inside me Eating away, at my soul Something, no one can see As I suffer in silence My insides crippling! Lost, alone and frightened Weeping on a dirty Graffiti park bench Dirty tears Rolling down my cheeks Stuffing newspapers under my jumper To keep myself warm "What am I going to do?" "Will I make it through the night?" "Will I get raped and beaten?" "Will I be left for dead?" "Will I survive To see another day? "Is my life worth living?" Please God, I beg of you Have mercy now Please show me the way!
For many years... My life has been an embarrassment! Filled with hopelessness and discouragement! Many things I thought I had enjoyed... Have left in me... A large and empty void! Many nights, I would cry myself to sleep. Knowing the hole my life was in, was very, very deep. Then one day, I called out to God! I wasn't sure if he'd listen! My family, my old church, I was now missin'. My family prayed for me for so many years. I often brought them embarrassment and tears. God... I tried everything else... I want to come back to you! I need you now Jesus! I really do! Please come into my heart, and cleanse me within! Set me free from all addictions and sin! I know that you will never let go of my hand. My whole life, on your word, I shall now stand. Only you can satisfy the emptiness in my soul! I am now complete, satisfied, and made whole! By Jim Pemberton
Perhaps you feel like your life is "spiraling down" It's as if everything's come "crashing to the ground" Is your lie filled with A lot of apprehension? Just living day by bay with a lot of tension? Maybe you're at a "low point" and very "distraught." In life's circumstances… you feel trapped and caught. If you feel confused… Like you're in a "trance…" God's word says to TRUST HIM, in every circumstance! God's here to pick you up,\ when you stumble! He's always do it, And never grumble! If life's dealt you a bad hand, don't try name it! Jesus loves you so much! It's hard to explain it! All of heaven invites you to Invite Jesus as your lord! An eternal life with him, can be your great reward! By Jim Pemberton
An angel came! Nights in black and white, My mind keeps drifting from side to side. Wondering in my mind about the voice I heard, At my bedside an angel came. "Be patient," The voice said; I heard it so clear, yet so discreet. To hear a strange voice whisper into my ear, It made me scared, and it made me fear. Fear from God who heard my cry, Begging for mercy, to save a child. Praying to all angels to keep her safe The mother of my children, my soul mate. This is a sign for me to know, That God is with me, and I am not alone. Thank you God for this sign you gave me, To remind me that there is a God up there and to be patient. I'll keep my faith every time I'm down, With my forehead touching the ground.
Jesus, I Pray for My Brothers! Years ago, I suggested to my brothers that we pray. They simply laughed at what I had to say! I thought it would be good to get together... That God's love would bind our hearts forever! Division took place and took the "upper hand." I don't think they'd listen or even understand! Over the many years that just went on by... They never once took the time to say; "hi!" Even though they never once seemed to care. I decided to take some time in deep prayer! It was like they would make fun of what I said. At times, maybe they wished I were "dead." At this time, there's a strong and powerful force That's blowing their lives are way off course! I pray that God's spirit will get a hold of them! And let them now how much he loves them! I pray that God's love will be the glue that binds them! May God's mercy and joy be what finds them! I pray that evil will not find it's way in their home! And they would allow Jesus to rule on their "throne." Even though they tried to cast me off, as a "fool." It's God's words, in their lives, that must rule! Jesus can turn around even the worst situation! By the power of his glory and resurrection! Please, dear lord, bind them forever as won! Bless their home! Their daughters and sons! By Jim Pemberton
We Have A Sin Condition! We have more technology, but we have a problem! We have many "issues." And don't know how to solve them! Governments answer seems to be "spend, spend, spend." But we have this condition, that God calls; SIN! Just look at the problems that are all around you! It's amazing that they don't "overwhelm you!" There's all sorts of evil all cross our land! But there's something very few understand! We've sent men to the moon and outer space! Yet very few reach out and receive God's grace! The Bible says, "the heart of the man is sinful." Without God, man's heart is never "peaceful!" Jesus love provides for the world that fails us! He offers his love! Simply because he loves us! There's no "condition." His love is freely given! Won't you accept him? And be totally forgiven? Where there's sin. God's grace does much more abound! There's a new life for you! Just waiting to be found! Our sins for his love! What more could one ask? And enjoy a love and peace that will ALWAYS LAST! By Jim Pemberton
The water. It ripples and waves. Its soothing to the touch and it runs over your body like an invisible blanket. When life is too much to take I run to the water. I've thought about lost loved ones over the view of the ocean. As the waves ran over my toes and pulled back it was as if God was telling me I'm here. I see your pain. I see your passion. In time I will wash them away. When it rains, it stirs something inside of my heart. I know that as this storm shall pass, so will the trials of life. The pain will be washed away. All will grow new again. Pain is water. Joy is water. Life it water. Water is beauty.
Are we awake or are we still sleeping? Blind to the hurt, and deaf to the weeping. Ashamed of religion and supportive of the new, Aware of the lies and hidden from what's true. Worship the evil and turn away the pure, Developing disease with an unknown cure. Starving the poor and overfeeding the wealthy. Killing the sick and drugging the healthy. Going to war for some kind of power, Building tall structures over all types of flower. Cutting the trees and polluting the air, All out of greed, with no sort of care. Turning us against our own, And help from up above. Making us beings of hate, Instead of ones of love. Demonizing the mystic, Criticizing the wise. Making our own family members, Into people that we despise. Awaken to the torment, Be aware of all the pain. Those who are misleading, And claiming that we are insane.
Do You Feel Like There's Nowhere to Go? I know that it's easy to get discouraged and upset. Feeling "trapped" ... But can't escape "just yet." You've tried everything. And not sure what else to do? Is there someone who can help you through?" Many things you've done. You've wanted to be forgiven! Yet struggle with this each day you're livin'! You meet people and wear a "smile." And sometimes wonder if living is really worth the while. You may have prayed over and over again. And yet constantly feel Like you're "trapped within." You may have tried to call on Jesus' name. Yet find yourself in "guilt and shame." Jesus is here now! And wants you to know… He can bring peace to your troubled soul. Rather than thinking of things done in the past. Come to Jesus now! His love will always LAST! Allow HIM to bring to your life the needed victory now! He'll make you a brand new person! And HOW! By Jim Pemberton
O God, the pangs are crushing body, soul And spirit—working deaths where sunlight fades— My arms are trunks of pain and taking toll, While tortures, stings, and sickness hauntly raids To close the Gates of Hell to shut me in, And heaven bows to greet while Hades seeks To send The Reaper with his failing grin. And illness ruins lives while havoc wreaks The squalored throes of daily living on— While body wastes away and breath remains To sing your dirge while I still carry on… Like trampling cattle trodding broken frame, I live between the sunshine and the grave— Like flowers cut and dying in the vase
My eyes Witness your departure My eyes Are dripping with hopelessness… My eyes start to blur… Melancholy put me under pressure… Is there a cure to my disease? You don't see The shards of hope that once brought us back together Just let me search for safety I'm strong enough to realize that I'm no longer The weakest prey out there… And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks? I'm close to my demise…save me and take me home Nourish me…and be my beloved friend Will this friendship last forever? Hopefully it has no end Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other? Because of you…I feel the need to run I keep an eye on you – I worry that you'll hurt yourself again Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone I don't wanna be caught off guard again Because of you…EYE can't picture a solution for our vexing dilemma Because of you…eye can't focus on my long-term goal And I'm left in my solitude… Do you sense that I'm giving in to failure? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…I can't endure The hardships that you place upon me… Could you boost up my confidence to overcome My atrocious anxiety? I'm just waiting for some sun To keep me in good hands… To strengthen me with perseverance … I'm just waiting until His son Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us… His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom – Vibrant with glee Your undying sympathy dawns upon us I'm overflowing with indescribable joy You're a candle in the night… We meet eye to eye… What a sight…what a precious sight
Jesus Knows All About Your Pain! "It's hard to see someone I love, go through so much pain." These were the words I spoke, When I called on Jesus' name. "This person whom I love has gone through so much." "How I wish to bring my peace and a healing touch." I cried and wept as I heard the master's voice. His gift of love is for us all... it's our choice! His body was broken. A sacrifice was made. His love... For our sorrow and pain... is what he gave! His grace is more than sufficient, for the pain we often endure. His love and commitment to you, is steadfast and secure! He loves you so much!. And waits at your heart's door. He gives peace and comfort! And so much more! The pain and suffering you're going through today. Please listen to the words Christ has to say; "I am God!" "I'll be with YOU... until the end!" My love and devotion to you will never end." By Jim Pemberton
What's Happening to Marriages Today? I was listening to someone just the other day… And I couldn't believe what he had to say! He had left his wife and children for another! She was young enough to be his daughter! Here they were, "in love" and holding hands! Hoping to soon, get their "wedding bands!" They were pretending that this was so "cool." Living now by their own "set of rules!" How sick and disgusting this is getting to be! Is this something that many can't see? God gave us Adam and Eve to become one. To bear fruit through daughters and sons! He gave us marriage as holy vows are made. Not to march in an "adulterous parade!" We are treading on very dangerous ground! Faithfulness and commitment are scarcely found! The very definition of marriage is changing! As the family unit is always rearranging! Our only hope is in Jesus! And him alone! Let's promote his love! Into our hearts and home! Let's allow his love to be our heart's glue! And bring new meaning to the words; "I love you!" May his love bind our hearts and lives together! And remain faithful to each other forever! By Jim Pemberton
Today, it just doesn't seem fair That we are still able to breathe. They have given us their air- Our duty to lead the life they leave.
UNSUPPORTED CODE We often hear this topic across our nation. Another person crying; "discrimination." In our many attempts to not discriminate. It seems like it's God that we seek to eliminate. It seems like we've come up with our own "rules." And somehow have turned into a bunch of "fools." We accept many perversions of various kinds… But God himself? We seem to close our minds! In many of our lives, we've "kicked " him out. And refuse what he really is about! The words, "In God we trust..." Our money bears it! Anything of God? We're afraid to share it! It seems like the courts almost say he doesn't exist! And have brought much confusion into our midst! As many say it's "offensive" to display a cross… Many godly values have already been lost! It's time to wake up America! And begin to see! The kind of country we're beginning to be! A country that's foundation is getting off course. Being driven by a wicked and ungodly force! Out only hope is in God! And him alone! We must invite him back into our homes! To God and his word we must hold secure and fast! He is our only hope that our country will last! By Jim Pemberton
'Hardy har', laughs the god, Rushing judgement from afar. "Only right, is right by me.' Kills the damned to watch them bleed. Virtues ruptured; marked abides, Do make them fight for homicide. For life is nil until the doom But death by own shan't make him swoon. "Your blasted brother to fire he'll go, For plowing in your heart so slow, Though blessed thee, your place now safe- Alas he was slaughtered, cleansing his slate! But the one, the last of the cycle, Must pay the dues of his murdering rivals. His only death is to break the mirror And hell he'll go for that desire." Now they smile, the sinners do, As they look down on the payer's due; "A heart so warm and soft like dough, Brother, so sad you must stay below. If only you had damned before You were the last, the ultimate cure."
Man's Confusion and God's Redemption! God's wrath is revealed against all ungodliness… Neither will he put up with man's unrighteousness His truth has already been given unto all men… And his love has been shown unto them. The invisible things of God, from creation, have been seen… Being understood by men. From HIM… who's made everything. Many haven't glorified him or thanked him for his creation.... And many have become foolish in their vain imaginations! Professing themselves to be wise, many have become "fools." By not obeying God. But living by "their set of rules." Changing God's glory to that of corruptible man. Many have brought a great darkness throughout our land. God has given them to uncleanness that abounds in their hearts... While many have burned in their own lust. Right from the start. Worshiping the creature(not creator). Has given a new direction… And has caused in many hearts. A deep "spiritual infection." Women and men leaving their God given affection in lust of each other. Have changed God's true design and purpose of one another. As God has given so many over to a reprobate mind… Many continue in shameful acts of just about every kind. Without an acknowledgment for God in each of our lives... We'll continue down a "deep spiral" filled with so many lies. God is our only hope. His gift of eternal life is freely given. Why not let him be the God of the way your livin'? By Jim Pemberton 05/28/1 (Read Romans 1:18-32)
I give my word a breath of life and those who give me strife I willingly do what needs to be done and do not wish to be won I smile a smile that lights up any face and hope to never disgrace I do what I am taught to do and that my help would be true I clam my words together and hope times will never weather I do have some faith in all matters and things to reach with ladders I hope for many things in heart and I cherish everyone that is part I do know one thing is set and with my life I would bet I will hold true to my words and make my world good towards
What's Done In Secret… Will Come Out In The Open! I've read God's word, and it's clearly spoken… What's done in secret… Will come out in the open! I've been guilty of this, too many times! I never thought of it, to really be a "crime?" "Nobody's watching" was the thought pondered… As my mind began to "explore and wander." It didn't take long for my life to go "off course." By a powerful wind of temptation's force! No matter how many times I took time to pray… This "secret" held on, and wouldn't go away! I went to church on Sunday and prayed and cried. This "secret" remained, no matter how hard I tried! God told me, I was to give up what surrounded me! This was hard to do, but God was there to help me! Many things I thought I needed, to give me pleasure… Didn't fulfill the love that God gave! An eternal treasure! As each day passes on… I want to humbly confess… I'm giving my life to God! He'll take care of the rest! May the Lord Jesus stir a deep passion within… May it be my desire to be more like HIM! God is the God of yesterday, today and tomorrow! I've no secrets with him! No more shame or sorrow! Jesus is the Lord of lords! And the King of kings! He's my lord and savior! My everything! By Jim Pemberton
As people are encouraged to "indulge within..." They often become caught and trapped in sin! Far too often, there's an enticement to "fantasize." Of the many temptations flashed before the eyes! There's a problem, too often misunderstood! Life doesn't happen, like many think it should! What's often acted out and too often displayed… Comes from a ruined life, that's been betrayed! One can easily find perversion of many kinds. This can easily "overwhelm" someone's mind! I know that it's easy to be "trapped and snared." It can leave one feeling alone and scared! That which you may have craved, for some kind of fulfillment. Has left you empty! With no real enjoyment! It's easy to fall into bondage! Difficult to get out! Victory in Jesus is what his power is all about! Won't you call on him now? And let his love "soak through?" He brings true meaning in the words; "I LOVE YOU!" His love is not in some kind of cheap entertainment! Only he can bring true peace and contentment! You don't need to spend money on the life he brings! He is God! And doesn't need to use earthly things! Sin has a price! It seeks to have your eternal soul! Only the blood of Jesus can make you complete and whole! The gift of salvation is from Jesus! And is freely given! He alone has the power to change how you're livin'! By Jim Pemberton
MLK... (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) they shot you down all those years ago but your dream lives on and always will for though much has been gained since you dreamed your dream there is much to fight for and much more to struggle for and much, much more to fight for still so your dream resounds in our hearts and we pledge this to you today for though they shot you down all those years ago on a memphis day we shall overcome this we do believe deep in our hearts that we shall overcome someday... (for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)
An Adulterous Situation I knew of a couple, involved in an adulterous situation. A person involved, claimed that he was a Christian! He told others that he wanted to tell her about the Lord… But this involvement in sin, he couldn't well "afford!" A "casual" encounter led to the marriage's destruction. Her husband was so hurt, he could hardly "function." How could this man think there's "nothing wrong with it." "It must be fine." He thought. "everyone's doing it!" Jesus has come, that we might have freedom from within! Going to church, doesn't give us a "license to sin!" God gave us marriage, as a holy and divine covenant! He gave us his word, so that our lives can be abundant! May this be a stern warning to one and all! That which may look attractive, will cause us to fall! If there's something more from marriage that you desire… Be careful! Your deep passions will burn like a fire! May I encourage you to pray and seek the Lord above! And ask him to build your marriage on his love! Only he can restore everything the enemy has taken! He'll be with you, when you may feel totally forsaken! Adultery is like a cancer cell… That will eventually destroy! It'll rob you of the many blessings, that God wants you to enjoy! What God has joined as one... May there be no separation! But a heart of unselfishness, and a renewed dedication! By Jim Pemberton
Father, Do not let me be the demon I have created me to be. I am the product of myself and my negativity. I trust You. I love You. I thank You. In Your name, We pray, Amen.
Divorce Isn't Always A Good Choice! I met a person who's been married for many years. When he talked to me, he was in tears! He was faced with the option of divorce! And now, he feels his life is driven "off course." His wife said she's through. She's "all done." And doing things which seemed "fun." Beyond each day and the circumstance… Does this marriage even "have a chance?" Why do people seem happier when they're apart? Far too often, this ends up in a broken heart! Too often, people "give up" on what they believe! But it's so many lies, is what they receive! I spoke to this person, of God's purpose and meaning! Into God's loving arms, is where he needs to be leaning! When life changes, and marriage seems to have failed you… Jesus is here! And wants to put his arms around you! There's hope and answers to all of your problems! You'll find the answer in God's word! HE can solve them! The best choice for you is to come and trust HIM! Give Jesus your life! Come now and love HIM! All he needs is for you to give him an invitation! He'll change you! And make you a new creation! His love can do what no other power can ever do! He'll bring new meaning in the words; "I LOVE YOU!" By Jim Pemberton
Is Your Foundation of Life Being Destroyed? Very seldom do I hear any complaints. Regarding the lacking of moral restraints. It seems like many are under some kind of a "spell." What's right or wrong? Many can't even tell! Where are the moral leaders this nation needs? As the heart of this nation continually bleeds. Many churches provide very little discretion. Pretending to be Godly… Yet little Biblical direction! No wonder many people don't know what to believe. A lifestyle of lying, drugs and sex is what they achieve. In their lives, they have no "moral boundary." Many carrying a load of "dirty laundry." To those of you who want satisfaction and victory too... There is a "moral compass" that's freely offered to you! " God's word is a solid foundation! Which speaks of HIS love and his gift of salvation! If your life is filled with hurt, and has no true meaning. It's in the direction of Jesus you need to be leaning! You don't have to live in despair and defeat! Jesus' grace and love can make you complete! By Jim Pemberton
I feel Him chip away at my flesh. The vibrations shake to my bones. Pieces that were once part of me now fall helplessly to the floor. Every scrape of the chisel, Every pound of the hammer, Every piece that is broken from me stings with immense pain. Why doesn't He stop? Why is The Sculptor so cruel? Doesn't He realize that each swing He takes is a nightmare to me? I would be better off as stone that was never touched, I would be more content without the suffering that comes apon me, But I wouldn't be a work of art. Each chip of the chisel is intended to remove a piece that shouldn't be there. Each pound of the hammer is meant to force the hideous fragments far from me. Each move The Sculptor makes, takes me closer to His plan for me. I must trust, knowing that He never takes off too much. I must be ready, knowing that He never leaves His work incomplete. I must be thankful, knowing that I am being made beautiful in His eyes. The acute pain is only a short part of His plan. The lasting anguish fades in its own time. Though heart, and soul, and body all grieve, the permanent state will be that of finished work. I may not know the reason for each strike, I may not know the fault with each sundered chunk, And I may never know. I know the sting of the chisel now, I know The Sculptor has a plan, My part is to trust that He will not work forever ... but that He will be done.
MENSEKIND UNSUPPORTED CODE Ek is n mensekind Nie net sommer van die wind Ek het gevoelens en baie goeie bedoelings. Ek voel dikwels nie in beheer en mense maak my kort – kort seer Ek is soos 'n teater: Mense kom net vir vertonings en dan sien jy hulle heelwat later My hart is 'n uitgedroogde sandkorrel wat enige tyd kan breek en verkrummel Ek is soms baie lui Want ek vra net en kry My woede is soos die Victoria watervalle Dit bedaar amper nooit en tref my naaste soos geweerknalle Dag tot dag lewe ek soms voel ek soos 'n kraan wat lek en lek My hart en siel behoort aan God Somtyds wonder ek of God my en ander raaksien? Ek is net nog 'n mensekind wat wonder of ek partykeer rus sal kan vind UNSUPPORTED CODE
Murder I killed three people yesterday I know exactly when, I used no weapon formed by man I killed them with my sin A mother, daughter and a son Whom I'd sworn to protect, I didn't see their pain filled eyes As they felt the blows connect They never saw it coming As I cruelly took their life, A son, a daughter and their mom I wanted for my wife I loved them all, or so I said At least when I was straight, Yet not enough to stop the dope So I guess you'd call that hate I could have been their hero I might have been a dad, Instead I left a tragic mess That was so much more that sad The mother was my princess And I, her shining prince, It ended with a phone call I've mourned them ever since Sissy was a shining star Whose smile would light a room, Her laughter rang within my ears Now silent as a tomb And little man looked up to me Hoping for my love, Apathy and silence Was my gift to that dove An unsigned letter Full of lies and a smattering of truth, Was all it took to kill them From grown adult to youth Betrayal in the utmost Was all I chose to give, When all I had to do was love For all of them to live I'll regret it always And I'll miss them evermore, As I scream and cry and wonder why I walked right out their door I killed my family yesterday I know precisely when, I used the cruelest weapon known I murdered them with sin
Jesus, My Life Is Quite A Mess! Jesus, I come before you! And humbly confess… My life has been a failure, and a mess! No matter how hard I try, or what I do… I'm embarrassed when I call on YOU! You've been there to help, so many times! It just seems like, "I'm running blind!" The past seems to be creeping up again… And causing me grief and pain within! I need you Jesus! Please help me! Please come to where I am, and touch me! I need your love, and your precious spirit! Thanks for being patient! And willing to give it! You are the only one, who can restore me! No matter how many problems lay before me! I come before you! And call on your name… By your blood, my life needs to be changed! Thank you my Lord, for hearing my prayer! Thank you for coming! And just being there! You've given to me hope! My life is renewed! By your love, my life is now brand new! By Jim Pemberton
Nothing but a waste you're just a reckless disgrace too much power for a deceiver It's not right I see light It's not near enough for me to go It's my choice so don't you treat me like a play toy I'm not yours to control Cause I will storm in after you If you take her far away from me And I will storm in after you If you take her to the grave with thee You take our race for granted and you're highly overrated you're always taking my friends It's not right I see light It's not near enough for me to go It's our choice so don't you treat us like we're play toys we're not yours to control I will storm in after you If you take them far away from me And I will storm in after you If you try and take them to the grave
I've So Many Problems! I Need Help! I've so many problems, it's hard to explain it! Where it all began, I can't really name it! It seems like everything bad, is already here! Sometimes, I wish I could just "disappear!" The heartache and pain is difficult to endure. I've had more than my share… That's for sure! I'm sorry to trouble you, with my situation… I guess that I don't have a "good" explanation! I suppose I've no one else I can turn to… I'm just happy I have someone that I can talk to! Someone told me, that you're a person who cares! Can I take a minute, and ask you for prayer? This is a moment in my life. A period of time… If God is real… I want him to be mine! Thank you for taking some time for caring! And for the words of love, you're sharing! Thanks for sharing Christ, when no one else would. You told me about Christ! I knew you could! Through HIS love, I have hope within! I have joy, and complete forgiveness of sin! I've a reason to live, like I never had! Jesus is with me! I'm so glad! Thank you my Lord, for helping me to see… The chains of life are gone! I am now free! By Jim Pemberton
We were taught to shine bright, But where's the light when we condemn? Where's the light when we judge? Where's the light when we don't love?
Well, my mother, she lay sick in bed; And I can hear the words she said: Don't you cry little boy, Don't you cry little boy, The Lord is near Well, the doctor said he give her a weak; Because she is so very week. Don't you cry little boy, Don't you cry little boy, The Lord is here. Well, my father, he lay dying in bed; And I can hear the words he said: Don't you cry little girl, Don't you cry little girl, The Lord is near. The day has come and he's with me no more; With wings in Heaven he will soar. Don't you cry little girl, Don't you cry little girl, The Lord is here. Well, our baby brother lay in his crib; And these are the words we said: Don't you cry little baby, Don't you cry little baby, The Lord is near. He struggles for breath and cannot rest; His hearts beats hard on his chest. Don't you cry little baby, Don't you cry little baby, The Lord is here. Don't you cry little children, Don't you cry little children, I, the Lord, am near. Don't you cry little children, Don't you cry little children, I, the Lord, am here.
The moment of my start , the destruction of thy art, hearing the songs of theocracy , the songs for saving thee . The intonation of deadly scream , heard across the vast stream , lest none had to stop me , for me to stop to see thy majestic beauty. I heard the words of my master , who plans well for thy disaster , who creates the scenery well as common , serving a wide from the times of Romans . He sends me often here , for punishing the big malevolence , but I never saw the wonders - for thy fear , for thy deep oceans help my tolerance . I wish could I give thee a chance , to see the world with a second glance , nevertheless the order remains order after all , keep waiting for me to hear the next call .
Lately, I have noticed a very disturbing trend. Many people wish for their life to end! There are many circumstances that bring this about. Many feel "trapped in," and think "there's no way out!" I admit,... I have been very discouraging thoughts. Sometimes, wondering, if I was dealt "the wrong lot." But just when I feel alone and trapped within. I think about Jesus! He's always been my friend! I've called to him more than a time or two... When I didn't know "what I was going to d." When, to him, I cried out and pleaded... He's given to me the hope and direction I needed! I recommend this same Jesus to your life today! Whatever your problem... He has made a way! An abundant assurance Is what Jesusbrings! He is an awesome God! And can take care of everything! Your problems are never too big or small for him to take control. He can bring healing to you! And make your body whole! He is what's needed! In this lost and dying generation! Won't you accept his mercy and salvation??? By Jim Pemberton 2012
Without wings here I stay On broken wings I try to fly My hardest to reach heaven In the blue painted skies The more I attempt The more I fail I fall each time Laying on the ground My pride is hurt Laying here in the dirt Where did I go wrong? Is this the punishment? I know I deserve it For a life of sin My life story where shall I begin Leading myself astray While I am on my knees perhaps I should pray Ask for a second chance A third chance A fourth chance I lost count of the chances I have been given So when it is my time to fly Access will be denied I must find a new way home Before the gates close And I am left on the outside looking in Dirty from this life Bathe in this sin Free choices I have made Shall I lay down my hopes and desires? Before taking a dip in the lake of fire
Are You Addicted, With Nowhere to Go? I know that it's easy to get discouraged and upset. Being addicted... But you can't escape "just yet." You've tried "everything." And don't know what else to do? Is there "anyone" who can "help you through?." The things you've done. You've wanted to be forgiven! Yet struggle with this Each day your liven! You greet people and wear a "smile." Do you wonder if living is really "worth the while." You may have prayed over and over again. And yet constantly struggle with a stubborn sin. Many times when you've tried to call on Jesus' name. Yet find yourself in "guilt and shame." Jesus is here now! He wants you to know… He can bring satisfaction and Make you WHOLE! Rather than thinking of things done in the past. Come to Jesus now! His love will always LAST! Allow God to bring to your life the needed victory now! He'll make you a brand new person! And HOW! By Jim Pemberton
God mines raw diamonds In darkest nights of the soul; We retain wonder When questions go unanswered; Burnished trust gives birth to faith.
Easter approaches. with the days counted on the calender each year I watch and wait to observe the little boxes and little slashes get moved on down the row untill the month is over and I can move on with the un-remembering the dreams can rest and sleep return the un-acknowleded tracking of the anniversary of the days our lives unmade I can stop pretending that this is just a day and move on with the daily motions of life and pack away flashbacks the leak in when the world keeps reminding me that She left me this day, and flew home with Jesus. I pray this is the year I can worship and praise the grace that saved me from fear and anger the love that forgave me for running .....but Lord the loss is so heavy. Last Sunday I thanked you for healing my grief and plowing my heart towards love and acceptance again Last year I gave thanks that I could remember in love instead of anger today I weep to feel that love and hold this loneliness... my intentions are pure but father this ache is overwhelming. this pain has been my undoing for so long half my heart has gone but grace rebuilds it fortify these cracks with Life and Love... by grace and mercy my mistakes are forgiven my guilt removed that I can remember in love not pain the self remorse for living and anger of her dying you take it all Father and remake us in your grace lifting us from your cross to heaven ......but I miss her Lord and these tears are etched in your holy day I can not celebrate in pain.
To feel the music, a silent sound. To see blood spattered upon the ground. To hear wise words, to turn them down. To smell a rose, a mangled mound. To taste the fruit, the hellish hound. What makes us different, you and I? We choose to live. We choose to die. We feel the love, for one we care. We take a day, for us to share. We touch the fordbidden, the fruit, the pear. We feel the wrath, for one we care. What makes us different, you and I? We choose to live. We choose to die. We see the beauty, the world we know. We watch the water, the sun, the snow. We took for granted long ago. We see the hell, the world we know. What makes us different, you and I? We choose to live. We choose to die. We hear a melody, a life complete. We know the body, the head, the feet. We await the place our paths will meet. We hear the silence, a life complete. What makes us different, you and I? We choose to live. We choose to die. We smell aromas, the truest scent. We take the hit, our brain is bent. The banished souls, to Earth are sent. We smell of death, the truest scent. What makes us different, you and I? We choose to live. We choose to die. The taste of life, sweeter still, Lies on our tongues, to be distilled. And even then, to learn to kill, The taste of death is sweeter still. What makes us different, you and I? We choose to live. We choose to die. Yet still we can't see eye to eye. And soon the day will come to lie. Forevermore. The time is nigh.
As In the Days of Noah… As in the days of Noah, there was wickedness in the land!. So shall it be in the days of the coming of the son of man! There were many forms of ungodliness that were enjoyed! Until the day of the flood... Then it was all destroyed! Imagine building an ark that took one hundred and twenty years! The labor it took! Throughout the blood, sweat and tears! The people laughed, and thought Noah was "out of his mind." But soon, the wrath of God, is what they would find! God gave them a chance to repent, but no one would. So he had Noah and his family made an ark out of wood. Noah warned them all, consequences there would be! And warned them of where they'd be spending eternity! Then, the rains came and poured like never before! The people got scared! They couldn't take anymore! They cried and shouted, "Noah" "please let us in!" "We didn't believe you, when you told us of our sin!" The door on the ark was shut! God's judgment came down! Other than Noah's family, there was no one else around! America's days of wickedness will be coming to an end! Very soon, God's judgment will certainly begin! Will you mock the men of God? Who preach God's word? Or will you live as if, his truth, you never heard? As in the days of Noah, so shall it be at Christ' return! Will you join him in heaven? Or stay on this earth to burn? By Jim Pemberton
