GENE COLE'S POETRY

[MIRIAM JACOB]

MY JESUS

My Jesus, My Saviour, so true,
He who watches over me, from the skies so blue.
Praise Him, never forsake Him,
because His love is so magical, one of a kind,
His love touches my heart, my soul and mind.
I praise Him each and everyday,
His love shines down on me,
His Holy Spirit, from the heavens, in a beautiful way.
Just when I think my mind is troubled and stressed,
To just think of Jesus, in Him I am truly blessed.
Blessed with His knowledge, wisdom, truth and love,
His holiness like a newborn dove.
When I sleep at night, Jesus watches over me,
With His wisdom, beliefs for the whole world to see.
See the Devil tries to plant bad things in my heart,
But Jesus said, If you believe in Me,
In my kingdom, with me you will be a part.
Jesus paid the ultimate price
so I could live each and everyday, in peace and harmony,
My Jesus, My Saviour, You mean so much to me.

IN JESUS NAME

I think of so many things that You have given me,
So much love and understanding, You set my soul free
Jesus, you have blessed me each and everyday,
To love thyself, and thy neighbor,
and to praise You each day.

I could never repay You the love that You have shown me,
When You gave Your life on the cross at Galilee.
I don't have to wait for Sunday to praise Your name,
Because each day I will call out for You
and You always reply the same.

Just when times look rough, and I don't know what to do,
I talk to You to smooth the rough edges and make it brand new.
When I am asleep at night, You sit and watch over me,
You wipe the fears and tears away, and set my mind and soul free.

You give me faith to make another day,
In Your name Jesus, I will kneel and pray.
And shout Your name to every individual I meet,
Jesus, You are my Saviour; with You my life is complete.

I remember the day my father died in my arms,
You took him to a better place, from sickness and harm.
You talked to me and said, my dad was with You,
And he will watch over me, these words you said were so true.

And I remember the times,
When sin and hatred was on my mind.
You took me and showed me Your loving ways,
And brought me from the darkness, and into the light of day.

I will praise You in the morning time,
Praise You in the afternoon, Your love is mine
When I go to bed at night,
I will always give thanks to Your name,
And when I awaken in the morning,
I look to You my Saviour, in Jesus name.

LIVING FOR JESUS

Each day, each passing night,
I look towards the skies and pray.
To my Lord and Saviour for
blessing me with a brand new day.
Each new day I awaken is a blessing to me,
Another day to make all my hopes
and dreams become a reality.

My God, my loving Father, I am nothing without You,
Without your praise and guidance and faith,
what would I do?
When I am down I look to you
for understanding and love,
And when I am happy with joy,
I look to you up in the heavens above.

No other love is greater or stronger than Your love,
A love that never changes,
a love that has no boundaries,
Amen, my God up above.
Your everlasting light shines
like a beacon of light upon me.
Your love You showed from the cross of Galilee.

I never doubt Your love for me, a love so pure,
Through all the bad and good times ,
my love for you will endure,
Withstand the test of time,
Because I have your love
and you will always have mine.

I know there is no better place
than to be embraced in Your loving arms,
Away from fear of the devil, away from harm,
As long as I have faith and Your wisdom in my heart.
There is nothing Satan could ever do to tear us apart.

Until the day that we walk together in the Promised Land
In peace and harmony, together holding hands,
I will savour and cherish Your love this day,
And praise Your name and glory, in a special way.

GOD CAME TO ME

God came to me, and this is what He said:
My child you are restless, here is my shoulder,
If you want to rest your head, lean on Me,
My love and guidance will set you free.
Free from the sins that are out there
each and everyday.

Believe in my love, for together we will kneel and pray,
See, I knew my God would not let me down,
He guided me, righted me, He helped me turn my life around.

Even though the devil put obstacles in my path,
God said you plus My love, Here my son, you do the math,
If the devil rains in you, I will be your rainbow,
Your umbrella as My light comes shining through.

Praise me in the morning, noon and night,
Pray when things are bad, rejoice in my name
when things are right,
So I know each and everyday Your love for me,
Because the love I give to you is given unconditionally.

See because when you sin, I will not give up on you,
But try to instill into you more that my love is so true,
So when you have fallen down, I will be there to help you;
I will pick you up off the ground.

Just because you don't see me,
does not mean I am not there.
I am the flowers, the sky, that breathe of fresh air
I thought that this was so amazing,
that my God was so great,
Because with a billion people to watch,
He came to me, He never made me wait.

All I had to do was open my heart and receive his love,
My gracious God of love from the heavens above,
So when I am restless all I have to do
Is think of what God said: When you are weary,
Here is My shoulder, My child rest your head.
