“He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding…” ~ Daniel 2:21

 

Chills on my skin,

I feel an Autumn breeze,

Red, gold and orange

Glow upon the trees.

 

The air is crisp,

Refreshing to breathe in,

Excitement stirs in my heart

As starts a new season.

 

Lord Jesus, I marvel

The rhythm You create,

Surely but a glimpse

Behind Heaven’s gate.

 

With perfection and beauty

The seasons do dance;

Each one has its glory,

Each one its chance.

 

So amidst these changes,

As trees are cloaked in glory,

I remember all is Yours,

Your unfolding story.

 

The refreshing air,

The trees of red and gold,

Sing a song of Your love,

Extending from days of old.

 

The cool Autumn air

I delight to breathe in;

Excitement stirs in my heart

As starts a new season.

 

Yes, my Lord Jesus,

As I feel an Autumn breeze,

The glory of Your presence

Brings me to my knees!

“Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.” ~ 1 Peter 3:8

 

Come now, my friend,

Listen with me:

Do you hear that song

In the sway of the tree?

 

Do you feel that joy

In the bird’s sweet song?

Do you see eternity

In fields wide and long?

 

Do you taste Heaven

In warming sun rays? 

Do you feel excitement

On unfolding pathways?

 

Come now with me,

These blessings let us savor;

They are priceless gifts,

Signs of God’s favor.

 

 

Let us sing to Him

A song heartfelt and sweet,

For His love is in all

Whom we see and meet.

 

 

Let us dance with delight

In fields wide and long;

Let us harmonize happily

With the bird’s song.

 

 

Yes, come now, my friend,

Celebrate with me:

Forever we are Jesus’,

Yes, for all eternity!

Poem “Deception” written  By Pastor FS Bhatti
Purpose of Delilah  Blinding but deceiving
Purpose of world  Greening garden but deceiving  
Purpose of Jacob Receiving but deceiving
Purpose of Jezebel   Believing but deceiving
Purpose of Robber on Cross  Believing but receiving
Purpose of Prince of peace Seeding but bleeding 

 

Critical Summary of Poem “Deception” 
•    It is famous story of Old Testament “Samson and Delilah” How she did come purposely to “Samson” to deceive and she blinded his eyes for anger of his mother and king.  •    The world shows green garden first of all but inwardly deceive.  •    Jacob, Brother of Esau, Isaac loved Esau but his mother loved Jacob, she prepared him to deceive his father and his brother Esau to get blessing of his father Isaac.   •    Jezebel spirit is in Revelation of St. John in New Testament, spiritual polluted women who believes but deceives like Ahab’s of old testament had same belief  •    Along with Jesus there was two more cross, on both were robbers and murderers, one of Robber accepted Jesus Christ as King by believing and receiving paradise by faith on cross at that moment.  •    Prince of peace, Lord of Lords and King of Kings is title of Lord Jesus Christ who came according to prophesies of prophets into this world for sinner and wrecked lives. In His holy love sow seeding righteousness in this world but he was crossed for not mixing up with world under their controls of that system. He did sow seeds of righteous, liberty, love, forgiveness. But he himself is blooded on cross without any sin and mistakes. 

 

 

Poem “Hope” is written By Pastor FS Bhatti 
In world of trouble where no hope In world of depression where no rope In world of blood shed where non stop In world of friendship where is loop In front of brutality  Where always loop, cop In world of hopelessness Where always stop     In world of Jesus Christ  Where always hope, rope

 

 

Critical Summary of Poem “Hope”  •    After sin of Eve, wife of Adam because of Satan, there was troubles every where. Adam had been separated from presence of God. Earth had been cursed because of their sin. Satan is trouble shooter in the garden through Adam and Eve until today. There had been no hope.  •    Without God, this world is place of demons every where, full of depression. Rope symbolize mediator who can help Adam again to come into presence of God.  •    Because of cursed earth of whole world, first murdered of Abel took place by Cain. God spoke with Cain from heaven; blood of your brother is calling ME from earth. Where is your brother what Cain said, I am not responsible of him. Then blood shed had been continual until today as non stop.  •    Friendship is precious gifts of God who had sincere heart for other friend like Jesus Christ who shed his holy blood for us, but it become loop with selfishness as written Micah 7: 5 •    In front of brutality in this world, no one can escape from loop and cop.  •    During 4000 years, God had been sending prophet in this world to warn and alert people from sinful world and destruction even in age of Noah whole world had been destroyed with hopelessness because of their sins. God always stopped on sin to bless the world.  •    In world of Jesus Christ, where is hope and rope. From First Adam, sin came into this world and separation of man and God but second Adam, Jesus Christ brought salvation and reconciliation man to God as mediator into this world, and we all find in Christ hope and rope in presence of Holy creator God. 

 

Poem “Find the Mind” is written by Pastor FS Bhatti
When multitudes of thought  come in mind
Root of causes which blinds the mind 
Spirit and Flesh are different  which rewinds opposite find 
Which rewinds mind patient of physiology blind?
Which rewinds mind nature of person find
Nature of person finds where regrets bind
Which remind thoughts? These rewinds opposite find
Sheep is lost in darkness but found in Savior’s find

 

  

 

 

Poem “Is evil, good” written

by Pastor FS Bhatti

 

King’s blood shed

then why evil is head

 

Health came on sick bed

Then why head is red

 

Sadness into happiness of bud

But why innocent’s blood shed

 

Dark of wickedness is like mud

Then why evil is head

 

Who make good as an evil?

Then why evil is head

 

 

Poem “Storm” written by Pastor F S Bhatti
Storm fear in the river hope  rear but in shiver faith  tear but  the leaver  mountain bear but in shiver woke up Dear but deliver  storm sear of unbeliever sever

 

 

Poem “Voice of voiceless” written  By Pastor FS Bhatti 
Christ is the voice of voiceless His blood is the price of priceless 

His word is the sight of sightless

Everlasting hope of hopeless Sound for soundless Ground for groundless 

Bound limit as limitless 

Lost but found from Mess  

 

Poem “Feeling” written By Pastor FS Bhatti
Feeding or feeling of what kind Seeding or weeding of what mind Wheeling or reeling but what rewind Heeding or reading but what bind Steeling but dealing of what blind weeping with deeding of what find Vicious has no peace of what wind

 

Poem “Grace” written  By Pastor FS Bhatti 
How beloved are to whom you trace But I am nothing without your grace Royal family of Christ is my trace  I will be base having your lace. Hope of eternal life is your grace  Life of the children is my base  But I am broken vessel of race

 

 

 

Poem “Fight” written  By Pastor FS Bhatti 
Life spent in fighting of faith  Life spent in biting of bait  Don’t know where fate is     

Pain in heart of eternal life  But fighting again fighting 

Biting again biting  Don’t know when without plight

But with faith in His might  on wrong path how i am right on right path

Jesus is in sight

Autumn River by Evgeni Dinev

 

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard!)

Morning sunlight

Gentle breeze

Songs of birds

Rustling trees

 

Autumn colors burst

Outside, and in my heart

I resonate with the colors

God’s dynamic work of Art

 

Autumn sings of His glory

The leaves exude color deep

My soul celebrates with them

For this pattern God does keep

 

He creates the seasons

Beautiful, meaningful each one

He separates the days

With rising and setting of the sun

 

Amazing that He

Who created heaven and earth

Set His affection upon me

Before my very birth

 

The colors peak in the leaves

Before returning to the ground

The seasons stride in rhythm

A cycle going ‘round

 

Yet our God is eternal

Unchanging amidst changes

He is the Alpha and Omega

All He makes and arranges

 

As Autumn leaves dance

And burst with color bright

My heart wells with joy

Our Creator is my delight

 

Sing with the birds

And clap with the trees

Uplift arms in the air

Praise, standing or on knees

 

For God loves us

Each and every one

He sent His Beloved to us

His only begotten Son

 

So, in the colors, in the rustling

I feel His Voice divine

He says we are His children

I am His…and He is mine

God is Good…all the time!

Gentle song of the bird,

Her voice echoes in the trees,

Refreshing whisper I hear

In the soft summer breeze.

 

Though the clouds roll in,

Lord, I know You are here;

Though blue skies turn gray,

I feel You are near.

 

For in the bird’s sweet song,

In the wind caressing me,

I hear Your soft whisper,

“I reign eternally.”

 

Yea, God is good,

God is good all the time;

I trust all things

Are by His reason and rhyme.

 

Fear not then do I

When the thunder roars;

Worry not then do I

When torrential rain pours.

 

For My Lord reigns,

Even storms are in His will;

All things He perfects,

All my needs He does fill.

 

Whether the sun shines

Or the rain does fall,

I know my sweet Jesus

Is in control over all.

 

Glorious truth to know,

One of peace and rest:

My Lord works all for good,

Indeed all for the best.

 

I feel now the raindrops

Shower upon me;

Surely these gems of water

Bring my God glory.

 

They quench the thirsty earth,

In multitudes they sing,

“Glory, Glory to God,

Of all kings, He is King.”

 

I shall join the storm

In its glorious song,

“To God be the glory,

To Him all things belong.”

 

Yea, my own soul

To Him I completely give;

I pour my all for Jesus,

For Him alone I live.

 

When the clouds break,

When the rain stops falling,

I see His rainbow in the sky,

I hear my Lord calling.


“Beloved child of Mine,

I hear your song for Me;

One day, My daughter,

You shall see My full glory.”

 

“Until then, dear child,

Embrace both sun and rain;

With complete trust in Me,

Sweet peace you will gain.”

 

I smile at the rainbow,

I savor the sound of His voice;

Yea, I trust You in all things,

In You, Lord, I rejoice.

 

In the bird’s sweet song,

In the wind caressing me,

I hear Your soft whisper,

“I reign eternally.”

 

When the clouds roll in,

Lord, I know You are here;

You are love, You are life,

I have nothing to fear.

 

I hear again the bird’s song,

Her voice echoes in the trees,

“God is good all the time,

All to Him we release.”

“Amazing Grace,

How sweet the sound,”

Music touching my soul

To depths profound.

 

When I hear the lyrics,

Lord, I see Your face;

Yea, how amazing

Is Your eternal grace.

 

Who am I

That You should love me?

Who am I

That You should set me free?

 

A wretched sinner am I,

Once lost and blind;

Yet Your grace transformed

My heart and mind.

 

Your love warmed

My once shivering soul;

Your luminous truth filled me,

Making me whole.

 

I shall sing Your praises

Today and all my tomorrows;

Jesus bears my burdens,

He carries my sorrows.

 

Who is amazing like Jesus?

Whose love is like His?

Who can transform eternity

With one gentle kiss?

 

Jesus is my symphony,

He is the song of my heart;

By His amazing grace

He and I shall never part.

 

Brothers and sisters,

Join me now in song;

Together and forever

With Jesus we belong.

 

And when we are in Heaven,

His song we will still sing;

Amazing is His grace,

Glory to God, our King!


By His precious blood

He has set us free;

By His limitless love

We live eternally.

 

Lord, how amazing

Is Your eternal grace.

Yea, how amazing

We shall Your face.

 

Your loves touches us

To depths profound –

O, “Amazing Grace,

How sweet the sound.”

Power in Prayer

Power in Prayer

Power in Prayer

On my knees before You

I approach You in prayer,

I sense Your presence, Lord,

I know You are near.

 

Your radiant face

Shines in my mind’s eye;

You are the Source of life,

For me You chose to die.

 

All my trials, my Jesus,

I release unto You,

So too all my victories

I place on the altar too.

 

Everything is Yours,

As my life You bought;

When You shed Your blood,

It was me You sought.

 

How can I not then follow

When I hear You call? 

All I must release

To my All in all.

 

Everything You give me,

I then give You everything;

Enthroned in my heart,

Forever You are my King.

 

The power of Your Cross

Bridges Your heart and mine;

Your blood washes my sin,

 ‘Tis the fount of life divine.

 

Before You now I kneel,

I humbly bow my head;

Thank You, precious Savior,

That for my life You bled.

 

To the foot of Your Cross

I travel in my mind;

No stronger, sweeter love

Ever will I find.

 

Yea, Calvary is on my heart

When I am on bended knee;

I see my sweet Jesus

Bleeding on the tree.

 

Come here often, Lord,

Yea, I vow to do;

Kneeling here in prayer

I am all the closer to You.

 

Radiant is Your face,

Sparkling with love Your eye;

How I love You, Jesus,

For me You chose to die.

 

Your presence, Lord, I feel,

I know You are near;

On my knees before You

I feel Your power in prayer.
