New Beginnings

 

How does one begin anew

When this life seems all askew. 

Chaos seems to rule the day

Until you kneel and start to pray. 

That is the first step we must take

And he will heal a heart that aches. 

One or two or thousands more 

New beginnings don’t keep score. 

He loves us with a love so pure

His love is quite the perfect cure. 

We’ll never go too far away

Where His love, with us, won’t stay. 

Do not listen to the lies 

Of he who says don’t even try. 

God’s grace and mercy have no end

His love for you will never bend. 

New beginnings bring us hope 

Like being washed and cleaned with soap. 

Keep your focus on God’s son

The day will come and you’ll have won!

It Matters Not

 

It matters not what men will say

From God’s sure path I will not stray.

He is our Father in Heaven above

Who sent His son to save with love.

I do not worship mortal man

But God with His most perfect plan.

Jesus Christ His son was born

To save us from this life forlorn.

Joseph Smith was foreordained

To be the prophet all sustained.

As a boy he sought to know

He knelt to pray in the sacred grove.

In response to his simple prayer

God and Jesus came to him there. 

He asked of God which church was true

God’s answer shocked him through and through.

All the churches do not seek

My will to do, nor are they meek.

Their hearts are not fixed on my Son

With me they don’t seek to be one.

The Book of Mormon does testify

That Jesus Christ will Purify

Two witnesses we need for truth

The Bible is the first of two.

God has opened heaven again

And chosen prophets among men.

They speak with God to show the way

May we heed their words I pray.

Jesus Christ restored His Church
From His holy, heavenly perch.
His priesthood power has been restored
To do the work of our King and Lord

These things I know apart from men

I’ll say them now and more again.

God’s Holy Spirit taught my soul

And with my life I’ll pay the toll.

Here am I, send me

 

What power do these words provide

But put you firmly on God’s side. 

Once these words form in your heart 

Your life will have a brand new start. 

To follow Jesus every day

Spend time on your knees and pray. 

Pick up your cross and follow me 

Then heavenly blessings you will see. 

Just remember what He taught

They hated me and always fought. 

He taught us all before he died 

Love everyone and do not hide. 

The truth he spoke to all mankind 

Would help us all, his path to find. 

The words he spoke made many foes

And kept his followers on their toes. 

The path he forged for every child

Would not be calm, and even wild. 

But if we are faithful to the end 

Eternity with God we’ll spend. 

It's not Left vs Right

Puppet masters pull the strings

In hopes of getting much more power.

They hoped to silence all good men

From spreading truth upon the tower.

We have chosen every day

To follow Christ in every way.

The world will hate you when you speak

Because God’s words strengthen the weak.

The lie that we have all been fed

It’s left or right so make your choice.

But what is really going on?

A war for souls, so use your voice.

The angels of the devil sneer

Each time, for evil, minions cheer.

We must rid darkness from our life

Choose God’s light, not worldly strife.

We must press on in such a cause

To gain rewards in heaven above.

This war that never seems to end

Was won by Christ with his pure love.

So keep your eyes upon God’s son

He’ll light the path, the only one.

The day is coming, Jesus said

When pain and sorrow we will shed.

The battle that we fought in heav’n

Still rages on this earthly realm.

Satan knows time’s running out

So look to Christ, He’s at the helm!!

Charlie Kirk

 

A child of God went home today

Into the arms of Jesus Christ.

He only wanted all to know

For all of us Christ paid the price.

He brought the truth to everyone

Some would not listen others did.

He stood for what he felt was right.

He held his ground and never hid.

He fought for all of the unborn

And those deceived by Satan’s lies.

He spoke boldly every day

To help God’s children win the prize.

Today it seems hate may have won

In an evil twist of fate

He would want us to press on

With love and grace and never hate.

Don’t give in to the dark side

That only makes you part of it.

Christ is the only light to shine

To honor Charlie, keep it lit.

How long will you wait...till its too late?

 

Our lives are rarely problem free

Storms will come to you and me.

How will we face the storms that come

Will we fight or just go numb?

At times it will seem just too much

All good things just out of touch.

No matter what you try to do

It seems that you don’t have a clue.

It seems as though you’re lost at sea

Treading water endlessly.

Its then you look from the deep

A hand outstretched that you can keep.

As the Savior reaches out

Your aching heart just wants to shout.

You reach up and grab His hand

He carries you on to dry land.

The Savior opens up your mind

It would seem that you were blind.

You see that he was always there

Making your life much more than fair.

He’ll always be there just for you

Just call out you’ll see it’s true.

Don’t wait too long to call his name

For that you do not want the blame

My Dream Home

 

You have seen them many times

On the shore or mountain side. 

Built with all the finest things

These mansions built with so much pride. 

All the mansions that are built

Will, at some point, become dust. 

No matter how we build the house 

It will not last, that is a must. 

So focus on a different home

One that’s not of earthly stone. 

Work to have a home with God

And worship him upon His throne. 

Your mansion was prepared for you 

When Jesus walked upon the earth. 

Because you chose to follow him

You learned from Him your godly worth. 

Even though it’s not yet seen

Your mansion’s waiting for you there. 

Filled with God’s pure holy light

This is your home, so please prepare. 

Emily's Gift

 

The day that Emily was born

Her mom and dad received a gift. 

A loving daughter sent from God

To share His love, to all uplift. 

Contagious was her love for all

She spent her time with those in need. 

She understood God’s gift to her

And served mankind with heavn’ly speed. 

Five young spirits joined her here

In a home with precious love. 

She taught them with a loving heart

They felt God’s love from up above. 

Now she watches each dear child

From a glorious celestial climb. 

Just know she’s there to squeeze your hand 

For she’s your angel for all time. 

The time you have apart from her

Will make your bond as strong as steel. 

She’s helping Father prep your home

Then you’ll feel love beyond what’s real!

Old Glory

 

From Betsy Ross to present day

This flag I love will always stay.

With thirteen stars it all began

Now fifty stars across it span.

The stripes of red they signify

The blood of many who did die.

They gave it all with a willing heart

That we from freedom never part

The field of white means purity

Remember that and you’ll be free.

We must strive to do what’s right

And then we’ll always see the light.

The pure blue color is the base

For justice is our saving grace.

We must continue to endure

And persevere until we’re pure.

I’ll stand and fight for Stars and Stripes

Protect her from all evil types.

If I must give my all for her

I’ll do it gladly that’s for sure.

Anvil of Adversity

 

He took that piece of metal raw

And placed it in the roaring flame. 

It turned bright red, is what I saw

Would now the blacksmith the metal blame?

What was wrong with how I was

A rod of metal clean and strong 

I did not understand his cause

I only wanted to belong. 

Time and time again he smote 

Upon the anvil with such force. 

The pain was great, he seemed to gloat

I screamed until my voice was hoarse. 

Soon the hammering did cease

I thought the pain was done for sure. 

That reprieve was a short lease

The grinding came to make me pure. 

How could it be worse than the forge

I turned to look into his eyes. 

His love removed the sting by George 

I soon would be a worthy prize. 

Polishing the finished blade

Was all that He had left to do. 

Through all my suffering I was made 

It all was worth what I went through.

What started with such piercing pain

On the anvil of adversity

I did not know what I would gain

I had become what God did see!

Pain is a Priviledge

 

I walked into the local gym

Thinking I could just be him. 

He looked like he was made of steel 

I wanted to know how that would feel. 

I wished to be as fit as he

But nothing changed for poor old me. 

Wishing without work will fail

A timeless honored truthful tale. 

Pain is what that man went through 

To get the form he held on to. 

Any growth that we strive for

Will come with pain that is for sure. 

Be grateful for the pains we have

They can be such a healing salve. 

We learn humility and grace

Pain turns our heart to seek God’s face. 

Pain is a privilege we endure

To make us strong and godly pure. 

Choose to view pain differently 

And then you’ll see what God does see.
