Turn Back To God America

I turned on the TV to watch the evening news
Listening to all the non-sense was giving me the blues
They say change is needed for the country to survive
Are they so foolish to think we believe all their jive
So I put on that right wing channel and to my delight
I saw everyday people calling for their country to unite

God loving people that love their country and families
Stars and stripes Americans are people such as these
They are called insane and crazy for holding tea parties
Man I love these people America's domestic MD's

Those now in power want to force change on you
Taxing us to death too push their agenda through
They say the best is yet to come if we all share equality
So their hands are in our pockets stealing our money
America - America God will shed his grace on thee
Take a stand let your voice be heard keep our country free

God loving people that love their country and families
Not ashamed to pray for guidance upon bended knees
Mom and Dad Americans are people such as these
Man I love these people they are the reason we are free

God so loved America that he shed his grace on thee
A nation forged in blood fighting for freedom and liberty
Not only here at home but for peace in foreign lands
God has blessed America the tools of his mighty hands
Change back to God America this is the change we need
Change back to God American or tyranny shall succeed

"In God We Trust" - Turn Back To God America!

The Greatest Gift Is Love

If you want to stand tall - noticed by all - number one
The best you could be - achieving victory - over everyone
At the top of your game - fortune and fame - the best
Diamonds and gold - a sight to behold - so blessed

If these things are important to you
If they're the road to your happiness
Then my friend you don't have a clue
If this is how you measure success

The greatest gift of all - is love
It's all every person dreams of
Of all the blessings from above
The greatest gift of all - is love

Standing tall is playing ball with a child
The best you can be is sharing a laugh and a smile
Your at the top of your game reaching out your hand
Whether here at home or in a foreign land

If these things are important to you
If they bring you happiness
Then my friend I have news for you
Your life is a total success

A heart that is filled with joy
Spreading peace and happiness
This treasure given from above
The greatest gift of all – Is Love

Mark 8: 27 - 35

27
And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"
28
And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Eli'jah; and others one of the prophets."
29
And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."
30
And he charged them to tell no one about him.
31
And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32
And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33
But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."
34
And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
35
For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

“Who do men say that I am?” Peter answered him, “you are the Christ.”
Who is Jesus to each of us? As Christians we believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Redeemer of mankind, and the Savior of the world. Many in the world today, as it was in the time of Jesus, do not believe as we do. Some still await their messiah; others regard Jesus as a prophet and holy man; and there are those today that deny him altogether and rebuke his teachings as nothing more than rubbish.
“Who do men say that I am?” Peter answered him, “you are the Christ.”
From the mouth of a simple fisherman comes forth faith and wisdom that can only be inspired by the Holy Spirit. Let us pray that we too may be given the grace necessary to boldly proclaim our belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Jesus is asking us to go out into our own little world that we exist in and live out our daily lives as a reflection of him. In doing so we shall be his true disciples, and we shall lead many to believe that Jesus is indeed the “Christ” the Son of the living God.
