JEFFPOEMS

WELCOME to my first attempt to create a web page! These poems and inspiring words are being shared

with the hope that they might bring a spark of encouragement to fellow Christians who want to use their own God-given talents to glorify our Lord Jesus, and hopefully, prayerfully, the Holy Spirit will use something here

to heal a broken heart, bring peace to a troubled spirit, or perhaps lift a wounded soul unto Himself. ENJOY what you read, and by all means "if today you hear God's voice, do not harden your heart." Let Jesus

be your Savior and Lord! You will never regret the love, the joy, the peace and confidence He will give to you!

BECAUSE OF YOU

Because of You

I have faith in God's plan

Because of You, Jesus

I am who I am

Because of Your mercy

I stand where I stand

Because of Your mercy

I am who I am

Because of Your love

I help where I can

Because of Your love

I am who I am

Because of Your joy

I laugh when I can

Because of Your joy

I am who I am

Because of Your peace

I do what I can

Because of Your peace

I am who I am

Because of Your grace

I give what I can

Because of Your grace

I am who I am

Because of Your pain

I daily count the cost

Because of Your pain

I carry my cross

Because of You

I have faith in God's plan

Because of You, Jesus

I am who I am

JEFFREY E. POLLOCK

JEFFREE IN JESUS!

GIVE ME MORE OF YOU

Oh God, grant my request

Help me pass life's trials and tests

Give me strength to overcome my weaknesses;

Make me more like Christ, my Lord Jesus

Oh God, grant my heart's desire,

That the dross of my life might be lost in Your fire.

Give me courage to walk by faith ever higher;

Mold me, shape me, make Yours my desire.

Oh God, grant my desperate plea;

Help me stand and fight to remain free!

Give me everything You know I need...

Make my life a sacrifice for all to see.

Oh God, grant me Your forgiveness,

Help me love You more and love me less;

Give me wisdom to deny my flesh,

Make me more like Christ, my Lord Jesus.

Oh God, grant me my heart's desire;

Forever close my eyegate to my enemy,the Liar

Give my spirit wings, Lord take me higher;

Transform me, conform me, make Your will my desire.

Oh God, grant this prayer of mine:

Help me become a man of God,

in this life of limited time.

Give me joy and let Your glory shine!

Make me more like Jesus Christ,

the Way, the Truth, the Life!

A GIFT FROM ABOVE

A gift is offered from above:

A heart full of love,

Reaching out to the world

Telling others what I've heard:

The message of grace;

Jesus Christ is the only Way!

Set free in the truth,

Love, joy peace and other fruit:

Gentleness, faithfulness, self-control;

Healing for a wayward soul.

But beware the bait from below:

Addictive chains that won't let go...

Indulge yourself in every sin... The lie you see is temptation:

Pride is simply nature's call for you to buy the whitewash

of man's great fall. . . Adam merely followed Eve.

Oh, the tangled webs we weave!

Stuck in this, our emotional state

We love to nurse resentment and hate,

waiting for the other party to dare and try to say " I'm sorry."

Thinking that's all it takes to end the fight...

Hiding your true hurt feelings out of sight.

Darkness wants to be the light of man:

And it is working as hard as it can

To earn you the love that God has freely given...

Trying to get you to ensure your own place in Heaven.

Release your enslaved mind and believe,

Break open your clenched fists and be set free...

Your dead heart won't begin to live and feel

Until the ugly scars of pride begin to heal.

Let your broken heart receive Christ's love:

Grace is a gift, offered to you

From God above.

THE KINGDOM IS HERE

The holy tongue of revelation

Is in the mouths of babes today,

Singing praises unto God in heaven;

Calling men and women to obey.

The holy God of all creation

Is preparing His triumphant return,

It's time to choose your final destination;

Will you be alive with God, or go to hell and burn?

Look around and see the signs;

The final stage is set,

If you haven't given your soul wholly to Satan's lies,

There's still time to accept Jesus Christ and repent.

Tell Jesus that you love Him now

For dying on a cross for you,

Tell God you Believe in Him by faith,

Somehow Christ will make your dreams come true.

With every ounce of strength you can offer,

Count on Jesus to break the world's mold;

Bow your heart in total surrender,

Lift up holy hands and you will know.

Our Father, God, will add your name to His Book of Life;

He will cleanse and save your soul.

The Kingdom is all around you now;

Everywhere you look!

All your senses have been empowered

With a new life that Glory shook!

Touch your world with His Love!

Place your hands upon your weary brother,

Heal sickness, and with authority cast out demons.

Hold your sister up to Jesus,

Let Him show them what it's like to be whole again!

THE VOICE OF GOD

UNDER THE THUNDER

THE AWESOME TRUTH ROLLS

ACROSS MY CONSCIENCE

SHAKING MY WILL

TO THE CORE OF MY BEING,

BREAKING THE SILENCE,

RAKING THE FOREST

OF MY SINFUL PRIDE,

CREATING THE STIILLNESS

WHERE I LOVE TO HIDE;

PRAISING MY FATHER

FOR HIS PERFECT LOVE,

THANKING MY SAVIOR

FOR ENDURING THE CROSS;

KNOWING THE VOICE I HEAR

IS HOLY.

FOCUS: LOVE IN SERVICE

The Liberty I was blinded to came clear to me this morning; The road to

Freedom I've been searching for is a highway of service, rejoicing and/or

mourning. The truth that I've been tracking brought me to the foot of

Jesus' cross; The only way to get there is through pain, humility and loss.

The Life which I've been seeking belongs completely to my Savior, Christ the

Lord; Who gave Himself to rescue me. To follow in His footsteps I must take up

my cross each morning and forget about me. Other people's needs come into

focus when I truly set my eyes on Jesus.

From the start of His ministry, Jesus called people to follow Him; They gave up

everyone they knew, and everything they trusted in. The Light that I've been

looking for has finally met my eyes; The reason I live is to bring the Good News

of Jesus Christ to lost and desperate lives.

We have no greater life to live than the one Christ modeled for us;

We have no better gift to give than a heart of love in service.

MY KIND OF GOD

The kind of Peace I'm pursuing is...

His Righteousness and Glory;

A Judge Who rightly divides evil and truth,

A Teacher Who knows eternity's majestic song.

The kind of Love I'm searching for is...

The Good Shepherd of His Sheep, The Way,

A Servant Who gave Himself for others;

The Author and Finisher of my faith.

The kind of Joy I'm looking for is...

A holy King Who is not afraid to dance,

The Morning Star, the Dayspring, the Word of Life;

A gracious Redeemer Who longs to give another chance.

The kind of Life I'm living for is...

The Resurrection and the Light,

A Leader Who is worth following;

A Warrior Who fought and won the good fight.

The kind of God I'm seeking is...

A Lord Whose precious Blood has set me free,

An adored Friend Who gave His life on a cross;

A risen Savior Who rose from death to rescue me.
