Quiet Time Rhymes

May 24, 2024

Truth spoken in love to touch someone in need,
Offered along with a simple kind deed,
Will long be remembered beyond just a day,
The kindness expressed with the words that we say.

Lord help me speak truth that I find in your Word
With love and compassion the truth I’ve heard.
May the words that I speak and the lines that I write
Be bathed in the glow of Your radiant light.

Help me express what I find in my heart,
Your love everlasting that never departs.
May Your living water spill out, overflow,
Penetrate soil, help new seedlings to grow.

As Your representative, Lord help me to pen
Your love and compassion and not hold it in.

Abundant life is sought in vain
When focused on self-centered gain.
It’s freely given from above
From God who sent His Son in love.

Through His forgiveness, truly free
To live our lives abundantly.
Through Him we learn to truly give,
By helping others, learn to live.

Not swayed by every twist and turn
We grow in trust, through struggles learn
That peace and joy are found inside,
God’s Holy Spirit there resides.

Abundant life forevermore,
On angels’ wings we’re free to soar.

A time of quiet solitude,
With peaceful thoughts of gratitude,
A gentle breeze upon my face,
Those cherished moments I embrace.

A time to sit, and contemplate
My future and anticipate
Where I will go, for me brand new,
What lies ahead still left to do.

I don’t know when, or how, or where,
But trust You Lord to lead me there.
Content for now with quiet time
To read, to pray, jot down a rhyme.

I pray each day I seek Your will.
Each day with joy my heart You fill.

I lift my friends who need Your touch
To mend, to heal, to walk, no crutch.
Some hurts, some wounds, unseen inside,
I pray they too will soon subside.

Give doctors wisdom, words to share
That offer hope, and loving care.
Help them to know how to proceed,
Provide the insight that they need.

I lift the ones now at their side,
Lord may Your comfort, love abide.
Lord give them strength they need each day.
Lord hear their voices as they pray.

Lord draw them close that they may feel
Your loving touch they need to heal.

When truth is spoken from the heart, society will prosper.
I pray that words shared from the heart is what I have to offer.
I pray that words I write each day will never hurt or sting,
But rather offer hope and truth to help a heart to sing.

Lord help me share, write words both pure and true.
Lord help me seek integrity, with words that honor You.
Lord help me spread Your truth today, may it take root and grow.
May it produce in others seeds that they may also sow.

May truth revealed encourage those in need to hope once more.
Your words of love, of truth, and life, I pray are not ignored.
I pray they sweep across our land and once again prevail.
I pray Your soft refreshing wind of truth will fill our sail.

Lord help us know Your simple truth, not feel the need to stray.
I pray we trust and follow You, the life, the truth, the way.

When did a few begin speaking for all?
Who’s actually wanting our country to fall?
No one in my circle of friends want to see
An end to this country, the land of the free.

I think the percentage of people is low
Encouraging hate and division to grow.
Why live in a country they truly despise?
Let us who love God and our country arise,

Call on the Lord, give Him glory, proclaim,
“Lord Jesus we love You, we lift up Your name.
We ask for forgiveness, please bless us once more.
You are the One who can heal and restore.”

I pray we the people who love God will pray
That the blessing of God won’t be taken away.

If my wish for tomorrow, my longing today,
Obscures all the treasures the Lord brings my way,
Then I’m missing contentment inside of my heart.
Lord help me to value what You can impart.

If my plans for tomorrow align with Your will,
And I trust that You’re with me, You’ll help me fulfill
What You have for me daily, Lord You will provide
The joy and contentment if I can abide.

Lord help me to trust You and follow Your lead.
Trust You will provide me with all that I need.
Lord help me have faith beyond things I can see.
You are my joy, Lord; in You I am free.

My trust is in You Lord, not things I can hold.
Your joy in abundance You form in my soul.

Sticks and stones can break some bones, but words can wound the soul.
Be careful what you say and do, the soul takes time to heal.
A wounded soul may never mend, and never more be whole.
Don’t think about yourself, instead, how someone else may feel.

The words you know you’ll soon regret, they’re best just not to voice.
Once spoken words are on their own, you cannot put them back.
Be careful with the words you use; you always have a choice
To build another’s confidence, or verbally attack.

If you’re bestowed authority, be careful all the more,
‘Cause when you speak the things you say will have a bit more weight.
Please keep in mind the impact of your words and don’t ignore
The opportunity you have to alter someone’s fate.

Use wisdom as you choose your words, you too can be a light.
Help someone else along the way to find the path that’s right.

While we were still God’s enemy, we could not call Him friend.
He sent His Son to die for us, relationships to mend.
He carried sin into the grave so we could be made right.
He conquered death. His love prevailed. We’re precious in His sight.

We’re saved from condemnation; our friendship is restored.
He made a way, we can be friends, thanks to our precious Lord.
I know the Lord, His fellowship and friendship I proclaim.
Each day I now can walk with Him and call the Lord by name.

I value our relationship, although I sometimes stray.
He’s always there, a friend indeed, it’s up to me to pray.
He’ll hear my prayer, when I’ve done wrong, confession is my role.
Our fellowship will be restored, our friendship will be whole.

Give thanks to Jesus Christ our Lord, we now are friends with God.
One day we’ll see Him face to face and walk where angels trod.
