My Heart's Desire (Poem)

  My Heart's Desire Lord, let my love go to Your people; Let my heart break for the lost; Let me give my life in service, For the message of the cross. Let me go to all the nations, Or let me serve You here at home - For wherever You will lead me, Let me kneel before Your throne. Let me see others as You see them; Let me love them as You do; Let my heart be burdened greatly, To bring lost children home to You. Let me pour my heart out to You; Let me petition You each day; Let Your love flow right through me, Bowing before You as I pray. Let me carry Your Word to others, As You guide me by Your hand; Let me boldly speak Your wonders - Lord, open hearts to understand. Give me wisdom, give me courage; Let me be part of Your plan; Let me always persevere In this grace in which I stand. Lord, as You go before me, Let my feet so gladly follow. Let me always share Your mercies To a world lost and hollow. Let me carry forth this Good News , Lord, and set the captives free; Let me serve You...

Martyr's Song/Victory (Poems)

  Martyr’s Song (Inspired by John Huss - who was martyred in 1420 AD) I go to my death singing sweet praises to the Lamb; I breathe my last breath, saying, I love the Great I Am; I worship the Creator, who formed the Heavens and the Earth; I commit my soul to Him, who chose me before my birth; I bend my knees and bow to the Lord who rules above; And I truly know this now, that my God is truly love. December 10, 1995 Jerry Bouey Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Victory I’ll take the pain, Father, I’ll take the loss; I’ll face the future, not minding the cost; For You, Lord, I’ll crucify myself each day, So in me others may see Chr...

Love (Poem)

  Love Love is such a wonderful feeling when you find someone who is true. Love can tear down walls of stone; it can make you someone new. Love can build you up inside, like you never thought it could; Love can repair old wounds, heal you, make you feel so good. God’s love is seen in every mighty miracle - sometimes it’s as simple as a flower. Love can fill you up with life as you’re drenched with an April shower. Love can take you to the highest heights, hold you, and never let you fall; Love can be in the gentlest, softest word, yet love can conquer all. Love can be expressed in many ways - it may mean different things to you: Love is in the very words you say, but it’s also in what you do. God has given us a precious gift; His infinite love is so true: He sent His Son to be with us, to suffer and die for you. If love is glimpsed in the way we live, how we react, how we share, Maybe it’s time to reach out and give - live love, show someone you care. September 13th, 1993 Jerry Bou...

Is Love Stranger Than Fiction? (Poem)

  Is Love Stranger Than Fiction? I don't believe in Cupid's arrows - Trusting in myths isn't too smart; But I believe that someone special Has gently but firmly touched my heart. I don't believe in love at first sight - I know true love takes time; I do believe when God's timing is right, Two separate lives can make one rhyme. I don't believe that love is blind - It's only God's truth that makes us see; With eyes wide open, we're bound to find True love was made for eternity. I don't believe that loves comes easy - True love requires the greatest sacrifice; But when God's Spirit sheds His love in our hearts, Love is worth more than any price. Set me as a seal on your heart, For love is stronger than the bonds of death; Like a flaming fire, it sets two lives ablaze; True love can give meaning to every breath. Many waters cannot quench love; Even raging floods cannot drown it away; For when our lives are transformed by God's touch, I know t...

It's A Sad Thing To Be An Infidel (Poem)

  It's A Sad Thing To Be An Infidel It's a sad thing to be an infidel. To deny there's a literal Heaven and Hell. To reject all absolute claims that there's a loving God, Then expect to live in Heaven someday - my, how odd! It's a wretched thing to be a modernist. To deny that every single one of us has sinned, Then somehow expect that by calling God a liar, Will miraculously make you right with Him! It's a cursed thing to be a New-Evangelical. Claiming to be God's friend when you won't trust or obey, Somehow thinking that by being religious, Will magically blot out your sins on Judgement Day! It's a sorry thing to claim to believe the Bible While you're doing your best to explain it away. Stubbornly thinking that by doing good works, Will compensate for the price our Lord had to pay! It's a wonderful thing to actually believe the Bible. To trust wholly that every Word of God is true, To accept Jesus Christ as your very own Saviour, Believing...

In Jesus' Name (Poem)

  In Jesus' Name Lord Jesus, I want it to be: Your will I seek Your Word I speak Your life I live Your blessings I give Your love I show Your Truth I know Your Knowledge I learn Your fire inside that burns You that my soul yearns Your Wisdom to refute fools Your Spirit that completely rules You that my heart enthrones You that I crown alone Your peace that guards my mind Your riches that I seek to find Your glory that I make my aim My life I live in Jesus' name. November 26th, 1995 Jerry Bouey Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. Luke 22:42 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3:17

Were You An Angel? (Poem)

  Were You An Angel? We wondered were you an angel? When you walked through our front door. You touched our lives in so many ways - Made them different than before. We could see that you had been with Jesus, Your beaming face - it glowed so much. Our spirits were rekindled by grace, And our hearts were truly touched. You spoke to us of God's great love, And shared precious promises from His Word. Our faith was strengthened by your child-like trust, And by the message of hope we had heard. We had wonderful times of fellowship With our Heavenly Father and His Son. Of all the blessings the Lord has sent our way, There's no doubt that you were one. Were you an Angel? December 23rd, 2001 Jerry Bouey (Dedicated to our friend, Albert, who came into our lives for only a few days, but made an impact on our hearts forever!) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2

I Call Him Saviour (Poem)

I Call Him Saviour All that you could ever need is found in the Lord; He’s the First and the Last, the Beginning And The End. The Lord Jesus Christ is God With Us - Immanuel - The Messiah is my Beloved, and my True Friend. He’s the Precious Rock on which I build my life, The Sure Foundation and the Corner Stone; The Lamb of God who died for all my sins; The Shepherd who will never leave me alone. Jesus is the King of kings and the King of Glory; The Desire of Nations is God's Only Begotten Son; He is the Ancient of Days, and the coming Prince of Peace; He is the Branch of Righteousness, and the Holy One. He is my Comforter, my Shield and my High Tower; In Jesus Christ, I have grace and eternal favour; There are oh, so many names for the Bishop of my Soul - Some call Him the Almighty God - but I call Him my Saviour. December 18th, 2024 Jerry Bouey Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. P...
