Lisa's Poems “The Little Old Country Church” Dedicated to Providence Baptist Church
By: Lisa Wood
A little country church was founded in the year of 1810, with open doors & hearts to welcome the holy spirit in.
Where many knees have knelt to pray, the words that hearts need to say.
Where old time hymns fill the air, and voices praise God for His loving care.
A preacher quoting scripture & shouting much praise, many souls revived in this country church’s days.
Sins are washed away in the water under the cross, thanks to Jesus Christ, our burdens can be tossed.
“Amens” and “hallelujahs” ring out from the pews of this little old country church that was built on Baptist views.
Many members have come & gone through years since 1810, but none have been forgotten, we’ll walk with them again.
Within these walls, as we bow our heads and pray, we’re one family in Christ, in a little old country way. “Prayer of Thanks” By: Lisa Wood Dear God, I’m giving you a prayer of thanks, ‘cause you hear too many prayers of need. You’ve showed me that when you pray without thanks, you’re praying with too much greed. Thanks for letting me live this life, that’s full of happiness, faith, and love. Thanks for creating the ground I walk on, and the beautiful skies above. Thank you for helping me write these words, and thanks for letting me be healthy. Thanks for showing me I don’t need lots of money, you’re all I need to be wealthy. Thanks for giving me a chance to help someone, and for forgiving me for my sins. Thank you, God, for everything, in Jesus’ name, Amen. “Memories” By: Lisa Wood Moments that make memories are cherished through the years. A time shared together bringing happiness or tears. Pictures fade with time, but memories last forever; kept safely in your heart for you to always treasure. Some memories are forgotten during the years we leave behind, But they’re carried with us always to remember anytime. Moments that you think about to bring a smile upon your face are the moments that make memories that holds a special time in place.
“Recipe for Heaven”
By: Lisa Wood
1 cup of blessings, and 1 cup of love.
2 cups of faith in God up above.
A tablespoon of honesty, and a daily dash of prayer.
A pound of devotion, and a teaspoon of care.
Drain the sin from life, and mix it all up together.
Let it simmer daily, This recipe lasts forever.
Serve it all to God ‘cause it’s only prepared for one.
This is a recipe for heaven, passed down from God’s son.
“Tomorrow”
By: Lisa Wood
If tomorrow when I wake, I look around but cannot see, I’ll still go on and live my life, and be the person that God made me.
If tomorrow when I wake, I find I cannot hear, I’ll just thank God for what I’ve got, I will not shed a tear.
If tomorrow when I wake, I see how the years have passed, I won’t say that I’m old, I’ve just made memories to last.
If tomorrow I don’t wake, but walk with God into the skies, Then I’ll know my life was lived for God, and that I lived it through his eyes.
“My Faith” By Lisa Wood
Why does God let me hurt? Maybe he wants to make me stronger.
Why does he allow these troubles? Maybe so I’ll pray a little longer.
Why was my eyesight so weak? Maybe so I’d learn to let him lead me.
Why doesn’t he give me wealth? Maybe so I’ll trust in him to feed me.
It’s true things don’t always go my way, And I have my share of pain.
But I’ve learned through my faith & love, That I have so much more to gain.
Because my Lord is teaching me, I’m not scared when life brings a fall.
For as long as I know he’s with me, Then I know I truly have it all. |
