In one accord,for their reward,they waited for the Spirit,
Both night and day,they stayed to pray,seeking to inherit.
At last it came,in Jesus's name,a Penecoastal shower,
He brought a tongue to everyone,
Who tarried for the power.
The sound was loud to that great crowd,for heaven had transmitted,
The risen Christ from paradise,
on them,while they were sitting.
This got around and they were found,
By jews from every nation.They all turned out just to hear them shout,With a vain imagination.
Now some believed they had received new wine,so soon that morning,
But,Peter said,the Lord has spread this blessing for your warning.
Then when they heard the apostle word,
Their hearts were pricked within,
What shall we do,we're asking you
They cried to hear from Him.
Repent He advised,be baptized,
Everyone in Jesus Name.
The Spirit,then,will come within,
And cancel all your shame.
They gladly heard the apostles word,
With fear in every soul.
They found the way that very day,
3000 souls or more.
This blessing is,if understood,
Still poured on us today.
Its only doubt that keeps It out,
So why not stop and pray?
Please never shun the unknown tongue,
For it is God's expression.
Through everyone the Spirit;s come,
And taken Its possession.

Lord,as I lie here,claiming and believing my healing,
You know the pain that Im in and the thoughts that I am having.
I love You,I worship You,I adore You with all of my heart,
All I ask is that You lead and guide me,enable me to do my part,
Teach me to minister to others that need encouragement and hope,
Help me to wait for You,Your time,give me the ability to cope.
Fill me with desire to search continually in Your Word,the promise that You left for all,
Teach me to have patience,to hear when you call.
Give me strength to get thru the pain that attacks my body each day,
The courage to endure whatever comes my way.
I know that You tell us for everything there is a reason,
For every time there is a season.
Lord,I ask for patience to wait for Your healing touch,
For the sick free days that I miss so much.
I know that you have shown others visions of my healing to be,
So I have claimed this miracle,knowing that I will soon be pain free.
You have brought me thru so very much,Even the doctors know that it is You,
No scientific explanation,they call me a miracle too.
I have no fear of dying,Lord,For I know I will join You in that glory land,
Singing with the angels,in that heavenly band.
But I have so much more that I want to do,
So many lost souls,I want to win for You.
So Lord,I just ask that Your Will be done in every thing I do,
For whatever happens,I will continue on for You.

When you feel lonely and have so many burdens to share,
Call out to Jesus for He is always there.
He loves us with such unconditional love,
Draw your strength from the Lord above.
When in doubt,speak in your heart to Him.He will hear your plea and forgive all sin.
He will throw them into a sea of forgetfulness,forever forgiven,
All in the past,on your way to one day enter heaven.
Walk with Him,talk with Him,each and every day,
He will lead and guide you,never let you lose your way.
Ask for the Holy Spirit and He will give you this power,overfill your cup,
Like a fountain bubbling over,our words rising up.
The gift of prayer tongues is the way He gives us to pray when we cant find the words,
We may not understand what we say but our prayers to Him are heard.
Our voices will ring out and He will understand,
Its the power,the Comforter that He left for us when he ascended into heaven,after walking here a man.
Let those feelings flow over,He understands what you say,ask in His name,
He will fill you with this precious gift and you will never be the same.

Watch,listen,be ready,keep your eyes on that eastern sky,
Where He will appear one day soon,it could be anytime.
This is a promise He gave to us,to save us from the days of wrath.
The prophecy's in the Word of God,just study and figure the math.
The Bible says no one knows the day or the hour,
When He will catch us up together. in all His glory and power.
Then havoc on this world will be reaped,
Earthquakes,wars,famines,pestilences,some too horrid to speak.
Some will finally see the truth and fall on their knees to Him.
He is so merciful, He accepts them, even then.
For seven years, the world will be in complete chaos and great despair,
Be ready for the rapture, you arent going to want to be here.
Then Christ will come with all his saints at the end of Tribulation,
He will come in glory and power at this final condemnation.
The judgement day, when all will pay for each wrong they have done,
Read the Word of God, the war's already won.
satan will be bound 1,000 years and then loosed for a short time,
One more chance to deceive any that he can find.
to turn against Christ though they will be thrown with him into a lake of fire.
Screaming,wailing,gnashing of teeth, punishment eternal,so dire.
Then satan and all his helpers will be thrown into the pit of hell,
1,000 years of peace on earth,the New Jerusalem, the Bible tells.
We will abide forever with Him in that city of pure gold,
That He went to prepare for us, of this He has told.
Gates of pearls, streets of gold,gems of every kind,
We will live forever, in that city, so sublime.
No more pain,no grief,no sorrow,no tears,no sadness forevermore,
We will all live in glory with Him, no evil,no wrong, like eagles we are free to soar.
I want to look upon His face, bow before Him,worship Him in all His glory,
My friend, so can you, just read and learn the story.
Its all there,In the Book, the truth and the light,Watch and be ready to take that final flight.
Dont miss this reservation,where we will go to our final destination.

Those who watched as they crucified our Savior,Jesus Christ,
The last blood offering, the ultimate sacrifice.
This horror was so unreal although He had already told them this story,
That He was going to prepare a place for them in glory.
the guilt so great in them,not knowing what to do,
Afraid to lose Him on this rugged cross where He died for me and you.
But after the last breath left His body and His body was prepared,
Annointing Him with oils,so gently in the tomb,they placed Him there.
What a surprise when they rolled the stone away,
That old tomb was empty,He had arisen that 3rd day.
Even though they had been told that each event would come to be,
Some still doubted this promise of eternity.
He appeared before them to prove to them he arose and was alive,
He did this so we could live forever in Paradise.
He endued these horrors,yet,the gift is free,the promise of salvation,
Anyone can receive,any person,any nation.
He told us excatly what we needed to know to accept Him into our hearts,
He will dwell within,nevermore to part.
Call out my friend,whereever you are, sweet peace you will never know without Him,
The Alpha and Omega,the Beginning and the End.
He lives inside our hearts until that day we go with Him and leave this earth,
This prophecy was given to all even before His birth.
He is coming back to take His bride away,
Saved from the days of wrath,in His arms we will forever stay.
The joy,the love,the mercy and grace,
We will fully comprehend when we look upon His face.
We will sing and praise Him forever and ever.
Finally,home to stay with Him and our loved ones,separation never
Again,together life eternal,
No more evil,no more satan,thrown in the fire infernal.
Halleluah to the King, The Son of God, our Savior,our best friend.
He is here with us now and will keep us til the end,
of this life and the one we are going where life will never end,
No more pain,no tears,no sorrow,eternal peace within.
Tell all you meet about this man from Galilee,
Who died and arose and lives today,so that we would live forever,eternally.
By DJ French 4/18/03
Last night as I lay sleeping, a dream came to me.
I dreamed about the end of time,about eternity.
I saw a million sinners fall on their knees to pray.
The Lord sadly shook His head and this I heard Him say,
Sorry I never knew you,depart from me forevermore,
And sorry I never knew you,go serve the one that you have served before.
I saw my wife and children,I heard their loving voice.
Oh they were so happy, Oh, how they did rejoice.
Their robes of white around them and crowns upon their heads,
My little girl looked up at me and this is what she said,
Daddy,we cant go with you for we must go with our dear Lord.
And daddy though we still love you, you wont be our daddy anymore.
Then I was awakened and tears were in my eyes,
Looking all around me and there to my surprise,
I saw my wife and children,I knew it was a dream,
I knelt down by my bedside. you should have heard me scream.
Father, whom art in heaven,I know You gave Your only Son,
And Father whom art in heaven, I want to be ready when You come.
I'm not sure who wrote this song but my uncle who was a songwriter taught it to me many years ago. He played the guitar and I sang this song at the folk and gospel festival every year in Mt View Arkansas.His name was Earl Branscum.I never thought to ask him if he wrote it but will try and remember to ask my aunt the next time I see her if she knows.
Jesus shall come with a shout,
Not one christian will be left out.
Caught up to be with Him in the air,
Nothing on this earth can ever compare.
Every eye shall hear, every ear shall hear,
When He calls us home with Him,to be ever near.
We will sing and shout and rejoice,praise His mighty name,
Where we'll live eternal, King of kings ,on His throne He will reign.
We will sing with the angel band in that home up above,
No more night, always in light, filled with so much love.
Hate,jealousy,spite and anger will all be cast in that bottomless pit,
With satan and all his helpers that we want so to forget.
Oh what singing and shouting there will be,
When our blessed Savior we will finally see.
Our loved ones there with us who have gone on before,
They are patiently waiting, standing by the door.
We will never say good-by, nevermore to leave,
No more sickness, no more pain, no more satan present to deceive.
Halleluah! praises to the King!
Worship the Almighty, let our praises ring.
By DJ French 5/1/0
Lord we ask Your guidance in all that we do,
Every step we take, every word we say, let it be for You.
Teach us to walk the way you want us to walk the strait and narrow way,
Put the words in our mouth that You want us to say.
Put a desire in all to learn and seek Your Word,
Your praises that we sing, let them always be heard.
Teach us to be all that You would have us be,
Show us each and every thing that You want us to see.
We pray for knowledge and discernment, gifts You freely give,
Serving You day by day, while on this earth we live.
We long to look upon Your face,
As we sing of Your Amazing Grace.
Give us strength and courage to go through each trial and sorrow,
Carry us when we cant walk, give us a brighter tomorrow.
Help us to wait patiently for Your return, to be ready for to meet,
When that last trumpet sounds and satan you will then defeat.
We will live forever in our eternal home,
Where we'll live forever,nevermore to roam.
By DJ French 5/2/03
Jesus died on that cross so that we could have eternal life, a gift He freely gives,
He suffered and died a horrible death that we that could live.
To be absent from the body is to be in the presence of the Lord.
Just open your heart and invite Him in, dont close the door.
Knocj and He shall answer, Assk and you will receive,
All Hes asks in return is that we fully believe.
Born from a virgin,walked this earth as a man,
For 32 years, That was all in His Great Plan.
He has gone on to heaven, our place to prepare,
Read His Word, the Bible , learn the things that He did share.
The prophets foretold of His coming to die on the cross,
To give eternal life to all that were lost.
They also tell of His coming to catch us all away,
Watch,wait and be ready for He could come any day.
By DJ French 5/17/03
Though trials may test you and tribulations will come,
Always pray that His Divine Will be done.
He doesnt promise us bright days every day or rose peatals across every path,
But He promises eternity to those whose faith in Him shall last.
He understands discouragement, He felt it when He walked on this earth,
His fate was already determined long before His birth.
Not all the people listened when He tried to spread the truth,
Such as Judas, who betrayed Him and then faced the noose.
Peter, who denied knowing Him was then riddled with guilt,
All these emotion we feel,they also felt.
We can strive daily to walk closer with Him, seek His Word, stay on the narrow and strait.
Place all your cares upon Him, things of this world plaese dont partake.
Open your heart and invite Him to come in and live,
Allow Him in every room of your heart, ask Him to forgive.
He will sweep every corner and get rid of all past sins,
Walk with you every step of the way,if you only let Him in.
He will be with you thru the snares and tils that satan throws your way,
Carrying you when you cant walk, with victory, if in His arms you will stay.
Safety, comfort and peace, He will bring to you,
Leading and guiding in all,showing you what to do.
Let your light shine for Him, dont keep this hidden away,
Tell all you know about Jesus, help them to find the way.
Rewards will be waiting when He ushers you home with Him to stay,
Streets of gold,gates of pearls, nevermore to stray.
By DJ French 5/18/03
Jesus Is Coming Soon
Jesus is coming very soon,could be morning,night or noon.
Dont be found lacking in your faith,
For He has gone to prepare for us a place.
Where we will live forever and walk on streets of gold,
I that wonderful land where we will never grow old.
Keep your eyes wide open and on the eastern sky,
Where He will gather us up together in the sweet by and by.
Seek His Word for knowledge,strength and wisdom,
He left us these verses,these promises,these provisions.
He promises us that He will return to catch us all away,
free from any more of satans attacks,what a glorious day.
He doesnt promise that all of our days will be rosy,without any stress,
But if we learn to depend on Him,He promises to bring us through each test.
There will be heartaches,grief,loss, and pain,
But call out to Jesus and you will never be the same.
Give all your cares to Him,lay them at the cross,
He will comfort you and give you peace from your loss.
We are all born sinners, but when we accept Him into our lives,
He takes all our worries and carries us through all the strife.
Yes,we will have sorrow,tears and sometimes feel its more than we can bear,
But He is always at our side,to carry us through the snares.
Satan will lay traps,to kill,steal and destroy,to try and cause you to lose your faith,to steal all your joy,
Dangling you and your emotions around just like a puppet on a string toy.
He will try to cause you to give up on Jesus Christ,
But Jesus has already paid the ultimate sacrifice.
For all of our sins,He shed His blood on that cross at Calvary.
He suffereed great pain and humilation and died for you and me.
Just like that day on 2000 yrs ago,He still carries our sins,
Crucified daily,we must strife to be like Him.
Amazing grace,how sweet the sound,that saved a wretch like me,
I once was lost but now Im found, Was blind but now I see
So live every day for Jesus , draw closer every hour,
For He is returning in His Almighty Power.

I Just Want to Praise You Lord
Lord,I just want to praise You,for all the things You do each and every day, All the prayers you answer,blessing us every time we pray. Teach me to stay in prayer and accept Your Divine Will. Thank You for the price You paid for all, Your precious blood was spilled. Teach me through Your Word what You want me to do, To always love my friends and my enemies and to always abide in You. Give me the boldness and courage to tell all that I meet of Your sacrifice,unconditional love and saving grace, Oh Lord,how I long to look upon Your face. Bask in Your glory,in Your shining light, Lead me always through the darkness of night. Keep me searching in Your Word for Your promises,prophecies, and love. Thank You for the Comforter that You left for us. Oh Glorious Holy Spirit,a part of the deity, Father,Son, and Holy Ghost,the three,the Trinity. When You fill us with Your Holy Spirit,its an experience thats one of a kind. We will never be the same,changed for all time. It puts a burning desire in us for the lost,to reach out and tell all we can, About this Jesus who died for all,that walked this earth as a man. You left this earth so young,only 33, Yet You knew when You were born,the fate prophecied of thee. That You were sent to die for all our sins so that we might live eternally, The Crown of Thorns You wore,the pain and suffering You received. I just want to praise You Lord for all the wonderous things You've done for me, Thank You for the debt You paid for all eternity. BY DJ French 7/27/2003
Heaven
What will we see when we enter heaven's gate? He has promised and told us what for us awaits. As we enter the gates made of pearls,diamonds, and other precious stones, This is eternity,finally at home. On streets of gold,we'll trod along, Home with Jesus where we belong. A garden of fruit that never decays or spoils, Every kind imaginable will grow in that heavenly soil. A rivers runs thru this city as clear as crystal glass, Sweet music flows forth as the water rushes pass. We will dine in great luxury,in celebration,The Kingdom of God,the heavenly nation. All our loved ones who are waiting for us to arrive, Patiently,they wait for us in that blue sky. How happy we will be to reunite again, With our children,parents.loved ones and friends. Oh, what glory,Oh what joy, when we enter that blessed place. No more tears,no more pain,no more burdens to face. Music,singing all the day long from the angel choir, No more night,no more darkness,light fills every hour. When Paul was caught up in Paradise, He saw such beauty,such splendor,why Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice. Words couldn't describe the beauty of that land,so fair, I can't wait to see Jesus, the One who my sins he beared. To bow down before Him,sing praises neverending, Eternity,where 1000 years will just be the beginning. By DJ French 8/14/03
