The tears I cannot hide

My mind is like a whirlpool
All twisting and twirling round
It seems as if there are voices
Coming from afar
The sound is dim yet getting louder
It's like I'm in a spin
Like I've fallen into a deep dark pit
Where there is no sun shining in!
It is from a distance that I hear that voice
The urgent whisper gets louder as I begin to stir
But it still remains faceless, as if in a blur
The voice of my Lord is calling
I answer and say "Here I am Lord!"
Please show me how to share your love!
The beautiful voice is calling
It calls to me still!
The urgency is heart wrenching
The life is in the quill!


As I write as I am bidden
This urgency to tell!
Please hearken to His voice
I do not tell a lie
I don't know why I am chosen
But it is do or die!
Please listen to His loving voice
Pleas do not tarry long!
Can you not understand?
Can you not see the strife?
Do you not understand?
You are given but one life!
Hear you not the trumpet?
Know you not that time is short?
His life He gave for all of us
For you and me as well! 


Now as time is darkening
Can you not understand?
How His precious blood He shed!
For you and me as well!
The price is paid already!
The effort has been made!
Why then will you not answer?
Your blood and tears in return give?
How can the dearest master think to come again?
When there are still so many
Not ready to give their love and time
For His precious deeds!
Can you not hear His tears in heaven?
Can you not realize?
To make all His pain worthwhile
We must answer His great call!


I read the words in the book El Shaddai
And as the words did enter
My still befuddled mind
I could see it all in slow motion
The tears of pain upon His cheeks
As He carried that great load
Up to Calvary's peak!


When I looked back upon my own useless life
And saw what I had done
My tears they flowed like rivers
I could not stop the flow!
Because as I surrendered
And looked into His heart
It was there I saw written
My sins all laid bare!
The pain I'd caused my Lord!
All the worry He had suffered!
All the tears that He had shed!
My life was as nothing
To my tormented mind
The pain of my sins and wasted life
Were as stabbing knives!
Into His precious flesh!


Oh Lord I am so sorry!
Oh Lord I am so distressed!
For the pain that I have caused You
For the precious blood You shed
Oh Lord please forgive me
I know not what I've done
When taking all for granted
When being selfish and hard hearted
I did those things to You!


How my heart did hurt me then
For the pain I caused to You
My sobs were so terrible
So deep and painful too
For my sins that hurt my dearest Lord
All those things I could not undo!

The Storm

We were walking outside when the wind changed
The gusts appeared and seemed to say
"Look out, don't stand in our way!"
Then the little raindrops fell and made their way
To earth and we could feel the change
As the air was tumbled round and round
The trees were swaying all their limbs
The sky was greying and we heard the sound
Of raindrops as they plopped and bounced
Onto the dry dusty ground around our feet
Our hair was pulled to and fro and
The wetness started to show upon our clothes
And the moisture cooled our sweaty brows
As we raced to get inside before the thunder reached us
So quickly the front came in as the clouds approached
And covered up the once blue sky in swirls of darkness
I heard the rain upon the roof as it splattered
And then when the water poured on down
Our pleasure turned to frowns and the sound got louder
We'd been flooded just a short while ago
You'd never even know that water or that flow
Could be so deep and mean and grow into
Such a torrent so deep and oh so fast
Now my heart was beating like a drum
As the house began to thrum with the sounds
Of the loud rain and thunderstorm
As it poured the heavens down
The gutters were overblown in minutes
As I watched the level rise I could see it happen
All over again, just like December 2010
Lord I was afraid and as I felt my pulse quicken
I prayed and called Thy name
And was rewarded by calm as the storm was raging
I knew we were all right as I watched the lightning strike
And heard the thunder roar above us
My trust was renewed within me as I saw the truth
That Thy strength was mine as well
All I had to was ask and you were with me!

The joy of life

There's more to life than money
There's more to life than sex
Which ever way you look at it
This life is more complex!
I may not have much money
I may not be the best
But though I live a simple life
I'm happy none the less!
I am joyful for the sunrise
I am filled with joy all day
'Tis the little things that fill me up
And help me feel this way!
I love to hear the wind blowing
I love to see the trees
As they sway and move around
With every little breeze!
The sky above, so azure blue
The snowy clouds are free
I could look at them all day long
And dream a life of ease!
As I hear the sweet bird song
I am happy to be alive
I even hear the buzzing bees
As they seek sweet nectar for their hives!
The brightest summer flowers
Are dipping up and down
As the glorious dewdrops 
Reflect the morning sun!
I marvel at God's handy-work
I thank Him all day long
As I do my bit to praise the Lord
For all the glorious songs!
No matter what I'm doing
Where ever I may go
I thank the Lord for everything
As I try my faith to show!
In everything I do 
And everything I say
I thank the Lord for giving me
Each and every glorious day!

The healing power of my Lord

As I lay me down to sleep
My mind just will not sleep
Until I say my prayers and thank the Lord
For the blessings of the day
And this is what I say.
The Lord's prayer first of all!
Then as my mind is led along
My heart bursts into song
As I praise Him.
I know He doesn't mind that my voice
Is not that strong or tuneful
In my heart I know He hears
And knows I love Him dear
And He understands my fears
And calms them.
As I ask for His healing power
I feel the angels draw near
And I feel their ministering touch
As I ask for nothing much
But for His blessings.
The joy I feel inside
As I smile and open wide my mind
To raise myself up above these troubles.
My prayers are for everyone I know
Who might be in pain or simply alone?
In sadness or illness prone.
I ask for His many blessings
As these come my way I send them up
Into the sky to pour upon those dear ones
For whom my prayers are said.
In love and grace not withstanding
The strength and love I feel
As I allow myself to be surrounded
By blessed angels from above.
And the Holy Spirit guides me
The strength and wonder grows as I feel
The loving touch and caring hands that heal me.

The eleventh hour is upon us

Remember Noah as he built the ark?
The others jeered and called him mad!
Remember when the waters started rising?
They regretted missing the only chance they had!
What if today the message is unfolding?
And you don't hear the urgent strains?
Will you feel lost, alone and stranded?
When the mountains crumble into sand?
Now is the time to hear the message!
Now is the time to make your stand!
Declare for God and take His guidance!
For tomorrow may be too late!
Please listen to the bells a tolling!
Please hear the messenger's loud cry!
The eleventh hour is unfolding!
The clock chimes urgently for our ears!
They only want to save all comers!
To take them to safety in the coming days!

The colour of His love

Looking through my eyes
I see a marvelous world
Full of the colours of the rainbow
Everywhere the light becomes
A shower of magnificent colour
If only the moisture is there
That beautiful rainbow is His love!
It is only through Jesus
That we may see the true colours
Of this beautiful earth we call home
But can you imagine a more beautiful place?
That is full of light and grace?
How can we know this other universe?
Unless we look through His eyes?
Looking through the eyes of His love
We are able to see our future!
We are able to understand His plan.
For us there is only a shade of grey
Until we open up our eyes
And see the world as He 
Our dear Lord Jesus Christ
Intended us to see it.
It is through His tears
That the rainbow can be seen!
The tears He shed for us become
The means for us to see above us.
Becomes the way for us to truly see
The blood red roses, the flower of His love!
Through His life, given for us upon the cross
We are given a most wonderful gift
That of eternal life!


Why then do we find it so difficult?
To return to Him, just a little time?
In prayer and meditation
A little effort in our lives
To show how much we appreciate His gift!
The gift of His life already given!
The gift of His tears already shed!
The gift of His blood already flowing!
From His beautiful loving heart!







Standing on tiptoe

Like a little child standing on tiptoe
Looking in through the window
Of the corner lolly shop
On a busy street in the cold
I've always been the tiny one
The short one who has to be
In the first row of the school photo
The smallest one who is too shy
To make a peep and have a say
The quiet one who never gets to play
The last one to be chosen for the team
The lonely one who still has a dream!
I've always felt so lost and alone
Too embarrassed to say a word
Too little to be heard
From behind the crowd of taller ones
From underneath the wings of all the bigger kids
I was always the one with the clipped wings!
But now I will no longer be so quiet
Now I will stand up and scream and shout
Whether from the mountain tops, or just from up in  a tree
I demand to be set free! Set free from inability!
Set free from nervousness and fear!
I want to be heard Lord! To shout out loud and clear!
No longer to be trampled on!
No longer to be pushed back among the frightened sheep
It's my turn to make a noise! My turn to make a speech!
I speak up for the lonely ones! I speak up for the  lame!
I speak up for the little ones who have no one to blame!
(But to live on in shame!)
I speak up for the elderly! I speak up for the ones
Who have no other voice but silence and rebukes!
Who will speak for them all if we do not take a stand?
Who will be responsible? Who will take the blame?
Why should the quiet ones be left with all the shame?
When will the ones who do the deeds be taken off in chains?
How can we sit back when so many die in poverty?
When so many cry out in pain
And beg for help in our Father's name?









Secret harbour

When times are tough and life is hard
I rely upon another place for comfort
'Tis then I retreat into myself
'Tis then that my other secret self appears
Where prayer and close communication
Are the ways I use to cope with my life
I summon my extra help and
The dear angels come to comfort me
For my fears and my tears
They take away my earthly pain
And make me feel safe again
As they embrace me and touch my hurts
I feel a peaceful balm enclose me
As I surrender all my earthly pain and tears
To their unearthly care.
So each night when midnight comes
There I am within their care
As I drift away in dreamy peace
To restful comfort and sleepy joy
Until its time to greet another day
And go to work again
For my dear Lord's earthly ministry

Science and Evolution

If Charles Darwin had been more scientific
And actually tested his theory
By observation and experimentation
By measuring and predicting
And finding no conceivable objectives left
He surely would have realized
That he was way off the mark!
As something cannot come from nothing
And everything cannot come from nothing
How could his theory possibly be sustained?


The very definition of science, based on:
Observation
Experimentation
Measure
Prediction
No conceivable objections left


Proves that evolution is not scientific


In evolution there is no morality
It is simply slime with no conscience
Survival of the fittest
Desire for nothing because you are nothing!
People are discouraged by no morals and no purpose
Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot
Decided that those who were worth nothing
Were expendable and of no worth
Survival of the fittest was taken to the extreme
People were killed off to further their dream
Of a strong and pure society
Made up of only the best
No contest!


Today
Young people are told Just do it!
Don't even think about it!
There is no future so why worry
There is no reason to behave
So why not live like the animals that we are!
Let's take drugs and get high
There is no reason to behave, so let's just die!


In Faith:
"The strong Unshakable belief in something
Especially without proof or evidence"
There is an alternative to living on the edge
There is a source, correct, valid and true
The Bible! It can be trusted!
In Revelation 4:11
God made everything! He gave purpose to life!
God doesn't make anything out of nothing!
Creation is not scientific
It is an act of Faith!
People do have value! Life has value!
Faith uplifts humanity!
God speaks to us through His word!
His words are true!



Return to sender

Have you ever sent a letter or a card?
Or maybe even an e-mail (let's get up to date!)
To someone you know and love
And had it returned to you
Because the address was incorrect?
And so it was bounced right back at you
What did that feel like?
Did you get upset because you'd already paid?
The stamps and present sent!
But no reply was ever made
To thank you for your trouble!
Well how do you think Jesus feels?
The price is paid, the tears are shed
The blood is spilt, the life was given
Have you said "Thank You!"  for His gift?
That was so lovingly given?
Have you made any effort to repay?
Have you done nothing but delay?
"I'll make the change another day!"
Will it be you who's turned away?
"Sorry, but we're not taking any more!
The rooms are full, the train has left
You came too late, you failed the test!"
How will it be when the time has gone?
And when Jesus comes again in fiery chariot
Will you be there begging 
For those rocks and mountains to fall
Upon your sorry hide as you shrink and quake
In His wake, will you be sorry then?
Too late!

Rebuked

After confessing to some I knew
How the Lord had sent me help
From afar this help did come
And eased my pain for me
I was rebuked for daring to think
That the dear Lord had answered my prayers alone
In sending those healing hands just for me
"Why not?" I replied! Does the Lord not say?
"Ask and ye shall receive!"
So why then am I so rude?
To find the answer there
When believing in my heart and soul
That answers do come to those who pray
And in praying so: believe!

Quiet determination

I'm not one to scream and shout
To make my point of view heard
I'd rather wait and work in quiet
To be there at those times
When someone needs a listening heart
To help the burdens bear.
I'm not one to primp and preen
To show the world I'm here
I'd rather not be seen at all
Just hiding out the back
To support the ones who need a hand
When troubles times are here.
I'm quiet and shy to boot
But no longer need I hide my light
My Lord needs me to shine
To show the people one by one
That our dear Lord is near
So listen to my poetry
All who would understand my heart
My true colours are here within
These words are from my heart!

Praise the Lord!

How easy it is to praise the Lord
When my strength is waning
For when I'm weak I use His strength
It keeps me from complaining
When my body lets me down by tiring
It's then I feel so strong, my brain is wired
Like electricity through my cables flying
I feel His energy in my veins pulsating
The words He places there for me
I type them up so all can see
Just how wonderful my Lord is!

Perfection in a drop

Watching a drop of water as it forms and it's final splash
Seeing its movement downwards, hearing the little plop
The bucket is golden yellow, the sun is shining down
I see the ripples forming; see them go round and round
How deep does a ripple go? How wide the circle ebbs?
How beautiful to watch it grow! To see perfection in a drop!
I see the golden circles; I see the golden forms
As ripples move in water like the epicentre of His love
So, how deep does Jesus' love go for us?
Is it like unto this drop? Is it the same all the way through?
Can we really see its depth? Can we really prove its strength? 
It flows from His epicentre! from Jesus' very heart!
It is perfection in its wide and graceful showering!
It is Jesus' blood He shed for us!
It is perfection in a drop!

Oh to wash His feet

In my desperation to gain
My dear Lord's forgiveness
I realize there is not much
I truly have that is worthy
To give Him in return
For His wonderful gift to me
That gift of life so dearly bought
Makes me feel such terrible shame
For all the many stupid things 
That caused Him so much pain
As He mourned for me!
Yet my Lord, I would give Thee
All I own and as for this
I shed my tears for Thy great gift
I would gladly cry me a river
Of tears to cleanse Thy feet
Those dear sweet feet
That walked those miles for me
And after having shed those tears
I would gladly dry Thy feet Lord
With my hair, to show my love
My thanks would never suffice
My simple prayers never seem enough
But dear Lord these are all
I have to give in return
For Thy precious blood
That was spilled for me
On Calvary!



O love that will not let me go

O love that will not let me go
I long to be with Thee
I long to meet Thee
In the air amid Thy love
With angels wings to guide me
I love Thee so!
I sigh and dream
Of Thy dear and loving arms
How wondrous soft
To keep me safe from harm
Thy love I seek
'Cause I am so weak
With out Thee I would fall
From mountain top
To soaring heavenly cloud
I trust and give to Thee
Everything that I am
I owe to You
I long to be 
Thy precious adoring lamb
Thy guidance I seek
'Tis Thee I would to be like
'Tis Thee I love
My heart is Thine
My soul I give to Thee
My life I return to Thee
Thy precious blood 
Thou shed for me
How can I ever repay
My debt to Thee?
To Thee I gladly give
What ever it is that I have
It is Thine Lord
I will follow Thee my Lord
Upon the unbeaten tracks
In the wildest lands
My heart is Thine Lord
I am ready, I am ready my Lord
If Thou needest me?
Here I am Lord! 
Please just lead
And I will follow as Thou guide!

No storm

"No storm can shake my innermost calm
While to that rock I'm clinging
Since Love is lord of heaven and earth
How can I keep from singing?"


Thank you Enya (and Mona)
For your beautiful words
The music that enchants me
And as I travel on life's roads
It is to these words I listen
So many times I've heard
That calming hymn
The words they do move me
And so I sing along with you
Though my voice cannot compare
And never will it do so
It's like I hear an angel sing
The melody enchanting
And when I think of you
I smile and raise my eyes
To look heavenward
What blessed voice was given?
To you Enya
How wonderful to hear you
And though I'm so out of date
Still to those words I do relate
As I live my life so far away
One day I wish to meet you
To hear that beauteous voice up close
How can I keep from singing?



No matter where

No matter where I am Lord
No matter what I do
My thoughts they float upwards
And at once they go to You
Whatever my hands are doing
My mind is somewhere else
I find myself  wandering
In search of Thy dear grace
So in my thoughts I wander
Far and wide and ever always
Upward to where You are!
My every breath I give to You
Who gave my life to me!
If You hear me Lord I'm singing
My words and songs to Thee!
I know You understand Lord
No matter where I am
My thoughts and words adore You
I sing You hymns and bits of songs
They all refer to Thy dear grace
Oh how I long to see Thy dear sweet face
I long to hear Thy voice my Lord
I long my dearest Lord
To see You coming nearer
Upon Thy fiery chariot of grace
The angels they adore Thee
I would so be in their place Lord
As they minister into all
Only to be nearer my Lord to Thee!



Ninety nine percent

With all the fascinating things about
Like horoscopes and numbers sure
Chinese, Mayan or some other cure?
How can it really be so talked about?
So probable to know the score
When all these things are supposedly
The whole darn truth and nothing more
How silly and gullible is man?
To think to ask the oracle
The numerologist or even the astrologist
And listen to the tale they tell
When we all know really well
That not one of them is exactly true
How can we believe it all?
How could it possibly be so right?
When truth be told to everyone
Will it work for all who ask?
Will you delay your trip or life or task?
Just because some self-declared occultist?
Believes he knows the way of all life
Be it from the living or the dead
From whence does the power come?
For whom does the bell toll?
Know you not that the evil one
Was once an angel so divine?
And knowing all like Jesus Christ
Thought to make himself as God
Goes about and tries to make 
Everyone take heed of his evil intent
He makes the kingdoms shake
And man the wars to make
Why?
Because he knows his time is short!
And every strife and woe he causes
Make him happier of course
He wants to see us all go down
He wants to hurt and maim and tear
Families apart! Yes, yours and mine
He doesn't care because he knows almost
As much as dearest Jesus Christ
Only God in heaven knows much more
Only the most-high can really judge
Only He is trustworthy one hundred percent!
No other one does know this truth
It has been hidden for so many years
And now as the time draws near
Let every man lend an ear
And listen as never before
If you truly want to be so sure
It's not to these charlatans 
You should listen to
But seek you all in the words of Christ
The Gospel of truth within whose power
The truth and life and strength so sure
In Jesus' blood the gift of life
The eternal treasure of all the years
Will be in His hands when He returns
With fiery chariot up in the sky
His appearance will draw every eye!
Make haste to choose life and right for ever more
Fight the eternal battle to the end
Do not give in, do not bend
Now is the time to comprehend
That only one knows all one hundred percent
And that is Christ the redeemer and only He
Who knows the truth and holds the key
To life eternal with 100 percent guarantee!
Jesus Christ the Son of God
His life given for us on the cross at Calvary
His precious blood shed for you and me
He it is and only He
Who holds the keys to eternity!









My Lord's love is like unto a mantle

My Lord's love is like unto a mantle
It covers from head to toe
Our sins forgiven, new life granted
Clean and white like purest driven snow
My dear Lord gave everything to save us
His body broken, precious blood did flow
So how can we not accept His love so freely given?
How can we say that we do not know?
When He broke the bread His Holy Body
And offered us of this to partake
How can we not say we understand?
When He His bread of life did break!
Then gave He of His precious blood

The Wine of Life He gave for us all!
We celebrate these with Him every communion
This symbol of our joining with Him who made us all
An eternal covenant re-enacted
Every time we take His bread of life into our soul
We accept His gift not withstanding
Yes! Of this greatest gift He gave us all!

My Lord lives within my heart

Don't understand your slights
Guess I've never been that bright
Been so blooming late
In catching up my fate
Don't look down your nose at me 
Don't pity me my life
If you could only see
The real me inside of this small body
You'd be the one to hide
As empowered as I am
'Tis God's power here that shines
I am that transparent vessel
That is used by God to bless
Those that feel like I do
That He is the ruler of this universe
With this wholehearted truth
I feel so buoyed up with hope
That's what I use to cope
No crying now for me
'Cause I truly see
How fortunate for me
My sins no longer mine
My evil bridges have I burned
I glide along like on snow
I will no longer hide
This shining gift inside
The joy that overtakes
Any fear or shiver that quakes
I soar into the skies
I see and realize
The Lord lives within my heart
There inside He is a part
Of my very being
Within this simple heart
Our rhythm is on flow
We join together this to show
How easy it can really be to allow
The dear Lord to live in thee!

My Lord is a simple God

My Lord is a simple God
He cares not where these feet have trod
He sees inside my heart and soul
He hears my songs and voice unsure
My Lord does love and care for all
No matter what we've done or when
He knows what we've been through
He sees inside and knows the truth
If only you could be like He?
You'd look into my heart and see
This my life I owe to Him
And as He draws aside death's dark veil
And descends from skies of deepest blue
He comes in fiery chariot of power
From mountain top to deepest vale
His voice is heard and all will see!
I'd give my life for such as Him
Because He gave His life for me!

Moses and Passover

Remember when in days of yore
As Moses took up his staff
How the dear Lord took him up
Onto His fiery mountain top
And there showed Moses his true path.
Remember when in Egypt then
As Moses asked Pharaoh
To let his people go
Remember all the famine and pestilence
When Pharaoh hardened his heart
And then after nine plagues were done
How the final test was passed
Because the people that were there
Ate bitter herbs, unleavened bread
And sacrificed their lambs
The blood of which was splashed upon 
The doors and lintels there
To save the first born at their hearths!


You may think it's just a tale
A bible story of old
But know you not that Jesus' blood
Like that of that lamb then sacrificed
Is still as powerful today!


How can we not see in today's world?
Like that of long ago
That Jesus is that lamb sacrificed
His blood our safety ensures
That everyone who believes in Him
Will be saved just like then
So many years ago!

Like a feather on the breath of God

Like a feather on the breath of God
My life has drifted up and down
Every little breath of His
Has lifted me and helped me grow
I am sent where He deems fit
I flutter up and down
And when the moment is just right
He sets me down upon my path
His warm and loving breath lifts me up
His love is my pillow
And when I've learned my lesson there
He guides me and shows me where to go
I'm taken up into the skies again
To fill His next desire
I see His loving, caring tenderness
In every breath I take
So Lord I gladly surrender up
My life and soul to Thee
For like that feather on the breath of God
I feel so loved by Thee!

Letter to my Lord

I've read about your life: I've seen it on the television
But it's how you touch my heart that really makes me believe
For so many long, long years I didn't know you at all
I felt like I was so lost: alone to face my fears
I didn't know you were with me: I didn't understand
It took so long for me to find you: yet you were there all along
Dear Jesus how I do love you! How I worship your dear soul
It is with great sadness that I read about your fall
How I cried my tears to think of what you willingly gave for me
How could I ever feel worthy of what you did for me?
Never could I ever feel right that you should take away my pain
Ever will I be thankful that you should deem me worthy
To see your face again
Dear Lord I await your coming in the clouds with power and glory
How I long to greet you and feel your loving showers of purity
It is only with your help dear Lord that I am here at all
For without your loving kindness: without your gentle angel's hands
I would be as nothing: just burnt stubble grass
Lord I dedicate my life to you: I offer what I am
I know I am not worth much but what I have I give for you
As I thank you daily for giving your ever-lasting life for me!

I am not afraid

Though the storm is wild and dark about me
I will not be afraid for He is always with me!
Though the road be long and fraught with peril
I will not be afraid for He shines His light before me!
Though pain and illness strike me down
I will not be afraid for His healing power is upon me!
Though the waves of life toss me about
I will not be afraid for He stills the waters for me!
Though my sins are heavy and drag me down
I will not be afraid for He gave His blood for me!
Though I cry and feel so lost, alone at times
I will not be afraid for He shed His tears for me!
Though I see so many poor people in pain
I will not be afraid for He promised to take us home!
Though He left us many long years ago
I will not be afraid for He will soon come again!
Though my body is weak and frail
I am not afraid for He is my strength and armour!

Inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861

How do I love Thee Lord? Let me count the ways.
I love Thee when I do arise to watch the sun rise.
Then my soul does reach up to Thee upon the softest breeze
I feel Thy love in every breath that from my lungs do squeeze
As oxygen into the very depths of my body does spread
I fee l Thy Godly creation in every pore of my being
The way my heart does pound and sends my blood around
I feel Thy wondrous creation in this lifeblood springing forth
The way a magnet finds its way to the true and real North
I feel the energy buzzing in me as my senses come alive
As if my being were the very centre of a buzzing bee hive
I feel the way my brain begins to feel and sense around me
As I feel and touch and hear the very sounds of life that do abound in me
My eyes are open and I do see the colours of Thy love in every living thing
I feel Thy loving touch upon my brow as I start to think and pray
And wonder how wonderful it is to be alive on this special day
To be a part of Thy beautiful world and yet to be
Such a tiny speck of sand upon the longest beach
O purest white and gleaming sand along the mightiest of seas
That tosses and turns with such power and strength
And in the midst of all this; I am because Thou hast made me!




What I am, I am by Your grace!
What I see, I see by Your grace!
What I feel, I feel by Your grace!
What I hear, I hear by Your grace!
What I touch, I touch by Your grace!
What I know, I know by Your grace!
With out You Lord, I am nothing!

Help for the underdog

I am for the underdog, I'm for the weak
I'm battling for the ones who have
No tongues with which to speak
I'm asking you to think of those who cannot walk
I'm asking you to think of the ones who cannot even blink
For the flies that do torment them
As they try their lives to live
The ones who come from overseas, whose families cry out?
The ones who have no food to feed their little ones at night!
The whole world needs to share the load!
I know this is the hardest road!
But how can you not think of how you would feel?
If you lived in that stink
How would you feel if it was your child?
Lying in the dark, not having food to feed them
A few grains of rice or nothing but thin gruel?
One small meal a day, their parents far away
Trying to earn their keep
No clean water to drink
No transport to the nearest town
No town there-of to speak
Lord how do we feed them all?
How do we do that job?
How can I make some difference?
To ease their suffering and pain?
Lord, help me to reach the ones
Who might be able to make the change?
Help me! Help me Lord! To aid them not in vain!

Help for the tortured soul

The dear Lord is here for everyone to aid them when they call
He loves us all unconditionally: read His words and you will see!
He is undying in His love!
Why else would He who reigned above give up that world for us?
We; so many sinners all who have betrayed His trust!
He gave His mighty love for us and died upon that painful cross
To show us just how much He cares: His promises ring true
He wants us all to be with Him in that heaven so high above!
Still He listens to our prayers: He bids us trust again
For though He left us here on earth: He will soon come again and 
When that glorious day shall come: all eyes will turn to Him
Every eye shall see His might as He comes to change all to right
Even death will conquered be! 
When dear Jesus comes again to take us home with Him!
