Go, And I Am With You (Poem)

Go, And I Am With You Go, My child, for I am with you, Go, in the fullness of My love. I know the thoughts that I think towards you - I’ve given you a mission from above. I have sent you out into the world, Go ye therefore boldly in My name - Bring the lost sheep home to Jesus - reach them - And know they will never be the same. I am with you through all your trials, In the darkness, I am the True Light; “Fear thou not; for I am with thee” - In all your battles, go forth in My might. All that you need to serve your Saviour Is available to you by My grace; Be strong, and of a good courage, For I am with you as you run this race. Go, in the power that I give you, though the pathway may seem rough; I am with you still, My child, My provision will be enough. Go, ye into all the world, Oh, beloved, go in faith today. I will go before you every moment, and I will prepare the way. Go, for I am with you - today! October 12th, 2025 Jerry Bouey Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think...

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...

The Father's Heart (Song)

  The Father's Heart The Father's heart is beating, pleading for the souls of men, Yearning for His children to go and bring the lost ones in, Crying out against the sin that plagues this darkened land, The Father's heart is beating still - oh, can't you understand? Chorus: The Father's heart is beating for someone here to go, To tell the prodigal child that He dearly loves them so; The Father's heart is beating, yearning for the lost, My child, are you willing to go and count the cost? The Father's heart is beating, God is calling out your name; If you listen to His pleading, you will never be the same; Jesus Christ has paid the price, atonement has been made, But the Father needs someone to tell them sin's debt has been paid. The Father's heart is beating, pleading for the souls of men; Hell is real, it is forever - go and plead with them! The Father's heart is beating, His message rings loud and clear - The sands of time are moving, there is n...

Go Forward On Your Knees (Poem)

The quotes are actual statements by missionaries or preachers of the past. Go Forward On Your Knees How brave and sure were those missionaries of old, Those faithful prayer warriors - they were so bold; Courageously saying, “Give me souls or I die!” “Go forward on your knees” was their fervent battle cry. “God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.” Go forward boldly, following your Saviour from on high; Though “You do not need a great faith, but faith in a great God” - “Go forward on your knees” - follow the footsteps Jesus has trod. By faith we know, “Prayer moves the arm that moves the world!” Under the banner of the cross, let your flag be unfurled. Victory is promised, but it will not be on beds of ease - A life of dedicated service - “Go forward on your knees” ! Whether you serve your Father here, or serve the Lord abroad, “Expect great things from” Him, and “Attempt great things for God.” Wherever you may go, around the corner or across the seas -...

How Shall They Call? (Poem)

How Shall They Call? In a world that is blinded by darkness, Men’s souls that are shadowed by night, We shine out among those around us - To the lost and perishing, we are the light. How shall they call unless they hear the truth. How shall they respond unless they know; How shall they ever hear the Gospel, Unless someone here tells them so. Jesus Christ paid the price that was needed To redeem mankind back from their sin; The Holy Spirit came to this world, So that lost man could be born again. But how shall they call unless they hear Him; How shall they respond unless they know How shall the lost world hear of Jesus, Unless someone saved is willing to go? We need to see the lost souls around us; Hear their cries, let them touch our hearts; We’ve been sent out by our Father - Let us be faithful and each do our part. How shall they call unless they hear Jesus; How shall they respond unless they know; How shall they ever believe the Gospel, Unless someone here is willing to go? November...

So Send I You (Hymn)

So Send I You So send I you to labor unrewarded, To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown, To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing - So send I you to toil for Me alone. So send I you to bind the bruised and broken, O'er wand'ring souls to work, to weep, to wake, To bear the burdens of a world aweary - So send I you to suffer for My sake. So send I you to loneliness and longing, With heart ahung'ring for the loved and known, Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one - So send I you to know My love alone. So send I you to leave your life's ambition, To die to dear desire, self-will resign, To labor long, and love where men revile you - So send I you to love your life in Mine. So send I you to hearts made hard by hatred, To eyes made blind because they will not see, To spend, tho' it be blood, to spend and spare not - So send I you to taste of Calvary. ~Margaret Clarkson~ John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent ...

For Such A Time As This (Song)

This song was neat to work on. Angela Trenholm and her daughter had written three stanzas for an upcoming Missions Conference. I was listening as they were starting to put together the chorus, as we were riding to church - then all three of us finished the chorus, and I think it was that night that I came up with the other three stanzas. If you know the song for the tune that we used, you will realize that I added a little reference to it in one of the stanzas - it certainly fit! John R. Rice's Song is great and I have heard Angela sing it as a special in church. But this song was a special treat - because I had a part in it. Another bonus was the fact that my sister, whom I hadn't seen in six years, was able to be here for the special that Angela and Sarah sang in church. It was definitely a blessing to hear the finished product, and to see the glow on my sister's face when she said, "Wow, that really got my attention! You had a part in writing that? That song was so ...
