Realities come in many shades
Some eternal andmost hand made
Christ is real-not man made
Gives a heart man can’t make

Jesus a friend truer than true
Providing life and fellowship too
Never leaving andalways near
No stampeding andChrist calms fear

Giving power needed to live
Each new day joy He gives
Knowing victory
Christ shares with me

Useful days
Worthy plans
Suited to my DNA
Jesus speaks to me-serve

Changing life inside and out
Every day His grace shows me the way
Guiding me in word and deed
Jesus is king of me

When each day is done
His victory wins in me
Impelling me to pray for you
His peace, His strength, His call

DONâ€™T MISJUDGE YOUR LIFE

September 22, 2006

Jesus Christ is faithful
Even though we aren’t
You can join His family
By asking for His heart

Power for the life we lead
Strength to face each day
Life is worth our effort
There is value in what we do

Jesus word is living
Guiding where we go
Calling us to be his
Daily renewing our walk

Survival is our watchword
Jesus knows our heart
Tomorrow’s not a burden
He lives within our heart

Giving us the answers
Removing all the fog
Life is faith in action
Jesus Christ is God

Now I’m in His family
People count with Christ
I am in His purpose
A servant in His place

Joy in the journey
Value in my walk
Peace a constant companion
In Christ I am never lost

Devoted
Controlled

GIVING GLORY TO GOD

September 4, 2006

Love an action
On life’s stage
Freely given
To lives unmade

Our example died for us
His life perfect
A guide for all
So we can be like Him

Victory comes
In daily acts
It’s all of life
Our life is a fact

A wisp, a mist
Our time is short
We are passing thru
He is our friend

Everyday we walk His way
The world is dying
We seek to sway
Obedience builds our faith

The Spirit of God
Gives us His fruit
The things we do
To be of use

On that day
We go to Him
We see the glory
We’ve given to Him

Clay Corvin 9/4/06

Courage and strength
Standing alone
Knowing Jesus cared
He would not fold

Seven days on a rooftop
More than a hundred souls
He found and freed
The water wouldn’t leave

Neither would Michael
He could not go
This was his home
He would not be overthrown

Standing alone
Three hundred days
Others returning
Their land he saved

Sometimes a man
Must draw a line
Here I stand
This life is mine

Courage and strength
Standing alone
Michael was God’s man
The lower ninth still his home

EAGER

August 2, 2006

I often wondered
Why old folks said
I’m looking forward
To see Jesus

I love you Lord
I want to stay
I’m anxious for the day
I can serve and play

Growing a family
With a godly wife
Children born
Facing strife

Still when old folks
Said I’m ready
To go and see
Jesus and His home for me

Why? I said
Too much to do
Jesus calls
I’m serving YOU

Business comes and goes
I love this work I have
Christ exalted
Eternity proclaimed

Faithfulness lived
Things are tough
I caught myself
Thinking Lord it’s too much

But no, dawn came
I went on my way
Soul lifted up
By Jesus’ healing touch

Now I’m old
By the world’s count
I’m ready to see Jesus
Eager to be at His knee

MAGIC GIRL

June 23, 2006

Magic girl-can do all things
Admiration due
You are always you

Wisest one-I thank the Lord
I’ve had a chance to know
A woman Christ loves so

Working out-His strength in love
You leave no stone unturned
His law you live and learn

Joy and peace your partners
Henchmen at your side
Doing things others dream of
His life is your guide

Friend and faithful servant
Results are your mark
You never fail His heart
Each day a strong new start

Husband, son and family
Valued by your life
Devoted loving mother
Serving is your delight

THE GUEST

May 31, 2006

Just a guest
Filled with blues
Jesus came
I cannot lose

All the ways
I choose to live
Does not change
The strength of God’s grip

I’m HIS guest
My life HIS gift
With value and worth
I cannot miss

Inside I cry
For all I’ve lost
A foolish thought
For I’ve been bought

The price was high
The payment complete
Christ gave me life
He set me free

Born for love
Distracted quick
Too often scared
I forget HIS stick

His presence near
To heal my hurt
Building life
Removing the dirt

Swifter than a breath
Suffering He’ll remove
A relationship with Jesus
Will defeat this world’s blues

Clay Corvin 5/31/06 from Psalm 39
