Who can climb a mountain,
without legs and feet?
Who can chew up food good,
without all their teeth?
Who can hold a platter,
without an arm and hand?
Who can see a river?
Without eyes, you can't!
Who can hear the birds sing?
Without ears they're naught.
Who can smell the coffee?
No nose, ruins that thought!
This is so depressing!
It's sad to think of such!
But, I'm glad to God because
He's blessed me so much!
He's given me legs and feet
to walk about at will.
He's given me a mouth to talk
and for my belly to fill.
He's given me hands and arms
to hold the ones I love.
He's given me eyes to see
the beauty from above.

Calm the Waves by Milly Stegall

Our lives are filled
With grief and sorrow.

True Lord by Milly Stegall
I'm lonely, but I'm not alone.
Sometimes I think, I might need someone.
I need You more, of course, I do.
And sometimes, I let things
get between me and You.
Help me not to do that, Lord.
I'm weak, and need You so much more
than anything that's ever been.

Inside Out by Milly Stegall
Lots of pretty birds came
into my yard today.
Lately I've been inside,
and not outside to play.
It's dark and cold
inside my house.
It's not a pretty scene.
But being outside made me get
a new outlook on things.
Maybe God, who cares for me,
was making clear to me,
that sometimes things look better
when it's with His eyes we see.

Wanting to Give by Milly Stegall
I want to know you, Lord.
I want to show the world, what you mean to me.
I want to love you, Lord.
I want to be all that you want me to be.

I posted some youtube links containing my poetry. One of the videos is Tomorrow, read by Davo Roberts. The other is Armour of the Family also read by Davo Roberts. Also I posted some paintings by the artist Edwin Carl Caulley. Both of these men are very good friends of mine. I hope you enjoy their work.

Armour of the Family by Milly Stegall
I will put on my armour everyday
So the enemies of Christ will flee away!
The armour of God is what I need,
The blood of Jesus is my plead!
To overcome the evil one
And bask in glory with God's Son.
So the enemies of Christ will flee away!

Closer To Home by Milly Stegall
Mercy and Truth
Going hand and hand
We're headed for
The promised land.
Righteousness and Peace
Close together
Upward and onward,
Better weather.
When we draw
Ourselves to God
And He leads us
In His Word.
The visions of Home
Become much clearer
Heaven is nearer
and God is dearer.

Almighty Lord Upon The Throne by Milly Stegall
My life belongs to You alone
Almighty Lord upon the throne.
As I look up into the skies
I feel my spirit start to rise.
Knowing You are King of kings
And by Your hands created all things.
Everything on earth that lives
Every good and perfect gift You give.
More than my imagined hope
Is sorrow included in this? Nope!
All day long, Your thanks be known
Almighty Lord upon the throne.

The Calling by Milly Stegall
The calling is sure, it's real
It's not based on how we feel.
Choosing Jesus as our Lord
Trusting and walking in His Word,
We come to know Him as He is.
And He makes us lights and
We know we're His.
He calls us precious in His sight
As we focus on His holy light.
And with the hope that soon we'll see
His glory and His majesty.
For He promised, He did say
He'd come back for us one day.

When We Get To That Place by Milly Stegall
When we get to that place
Where the Lord sits on His throne
And we see Him face to face
There in our heavenly home
And He loves us by His grace
And we know as we are known
When we get to that place
We'll never be alone.

Christ on the cross
A reminder that He died for me.
Christ off the cross
A reminder that He set me free.
A reminder that He died for me.
Christ off the cross
A reminder that He set me free.
Calvary Love by Milly Stegall
If God so loved the world He gave
Then as believers we should give
And in the giving, die to ourselves
That Christ is shown to live.
For what are we, but vessels
Empty until filled
We must share God's love with others
For with His Spirit, we are sealed.
Jesus died for every soul
Not only for you and me
So we must give our lives to Him
For all the world to see.
That Calvary love
The Risen Lord
The Truth
And be set free.
Then as believers we should give

Answered Prayer by Milly Stegall
As I pray, I realize
That in the years passed by
My prayers have changed
To some degree
What I wanted then
Does not please me.
I asked amiss so many times
Fruitless, selfish prayers were mine
Thank God, You know my carnal mind
And did not answer at the time.
You knew all along
What I really wanted
And turned my heart
Toward that one thing.
And when I pray now
I'm more careful
Answered prayers come from the King.

Totally by Milly Stegall
Totally into Jesus
Totally into His Word.
He speaks to me with wisdom
He arms me with His sword.
He comes to me with compassion
Pulling me out of the fire.
He's making me more in His fashion
So my light will shine even brighter.
And He will receive all the glory
And all of the honor and praise.
And I will bow down and worship,
Worship Him all of my days.

What God Does by Milly Stegall
Whatever God says He'll do
Will always come to pass.
No matter what you and I do
What God does will last.

The Road by Milly Stegall
Sometimes I wonder where You've gone
And in my mind, my thoughts are stirred
Your presence lost is hard to take
I think, myself, when this occurred.
It was not You who turned away
But, this old man, who chose a road.
Would turning around lead me back,
Release me from this heavy load?
Maybe a little farther on
The road rejoins, as if by chance.
So maybe I'm just headed home
The road is part of heaven's dance.
Divine encounters wait ahead,
On this road I travel on.
Were not for grace of God above
Your presence would remain unknown.

Peace, Rest, Blessed by Milly Stegall
In frustration
I call out, Jesus!
Suddenly,
My soul is at peace,
I find rest.
Surely Your goodness
And mercy is with me
I am so unbelievably blessed!

You've gotten my attention
Now what am I to do?
I need to know how
I can best serve You.
I'll wait until You give me
My instructions, then

Confession by Milly Stegall
It's me again,
I'm calling on you.
You asked me
Did I love someone
more than You.
My reply was simply "No"
You asked me again,
As if You didn't know
I said emphatically
"Not more than You"
You asked me again,
I didn't want to argue.
But sometime later
I realized
That You know me
And my heart lies.
So then, I had to confess
You're true
And I was sorry
I loved someone more than You.
Forgive me, Lord
Is all I could say.
And You cleansed my soul
Right Away!
I'm calling on you.
You asked me

The Return by Milly Stegall George
When Christ comes back the trump will sound.
Throughout the earth, it will resound.
Across the clouds our Lord shall ride
With bands of angels at His side.
He sits upon a stallion there
As we behold Him in the air.
And with Him, all the saints will come
Shouting, "Holy is the Lord!"
We will see the majesty, the glory
That great day shall bring.
Tears may stream across each face
But He will wipe them all away.
Up, into the clouds we'll rise
To meet our Savior in the skies.
We know it's time for us to leave
With Jesus, in whom, we believe.
Knowing when we placed our trust,
He prepared a place for us.
Throughout the earth, it will resound.
Across the clouds our Lord shall ride
With bands of angels at His side.
He sits upon a stallion there
As we behold Him in the air.

But for the wisdom
Of God up above
Jesus has saved me
I am beloved.

Or not to sin
But with the
Lord to guide me
I cannot help
But win.

Things, and I've made
such a mess
But Jesus picks
Me up again
And clothes me
With the best.

Much to gripe
About, even
when I fall

When I meet Jesus face to face,
I will see Him as He is.
On that day, I'll be like Him

Then, I will be known,
Even as I am known.

Around God's throne.

Tomorrow by Milly Stegall
Should I have tomorrow
Should I have another day

To take my fears away
Jesus, you're the answer
You are my guiding light

With all my strength and might
And wait for you to reach me too
And hold me oh, so tight!

The Question by Milly Stegall
Before our Savior Christ returns
and all of our work is through,
we should ask the question,
did we do all we could do?
Did every soul we came to know
see God's Son burning bright?
And were their hearts so deeply
touched, by we, His mortal light?
and all of our work is through,
we should ask the question,
did we do all we could do?
Did every soul we came to know
see God's Son burning bright?
And were their hearts so deeply
touched, by we, His mortal light?
