Everlasting Embrace

 

You can see it in their eyes

The pain is all so overwhelming

Making a choice to end a life

Now the cross is never ending

You can't turn back the hands of time

But you can live; you can love.....life!

There is promise in the future

Healing is the answer with grace

Faith will lead you to the cure

One day to see the child's face

You can't turn back the hands of time

But you can live; you can love.....life!

Hope is alive through God's mercy

One day every tear will go away

Every eye will behold the beauty

Of the babe's everlasting embrace

You can't turn back the hands of time

But you can live; you can love.....life!

Mercy forgives, so live, so love.....life!

The Miracle of Life

A bitter sweet morning as I open my eyes

The day is dawning; the sun begins to rise

A blessed day for the celebration of life

Thank you Father...so powerful and wise

Seems like yesterday that my son was born

I often wonder where all the time has gone

Counting my blessings helps me day by day

Now more than ever while he is so far away

Words could never express how proud I am

To be the father of this special young man

Thank you Father for this awesome grace

For the miracle of life on this special day

Though this day will be a bitter sweet one

I shout out a happy birthday to my son

Thank you Father...so powerful and wise

Thank you Father...for the miracle of life!

The Mighty Pillar Of Truth

Reaching high; standing tall

Divinely solidified to the core
Just as grains of sifted sand
Fused with the Mighty hand

Bearing the elements stress

Wearing down youthfulness
Though the surface is worn
The interior remains strong

Set in place on solid ground

Where forces unseen abound
Resting on a firm foundation
The bearing point of salvation

At times requiring restoration

When all things are made new

We will stand forever upright

With the Mighty Pillar of Truth

Fire in the Word

 

It all seemed real

Was I dreaming

This beautiful sight

Truly revealing

Hearing great joy

A voice within

So overwhelming

My soul burning

There was fire in the word

The flames surrounding me

Those voices that I heard

An endless angelic melody

The awesome power

The blinding light

The peaceful feeling

The awesome might

It all made sense

It was all so real

The fiery dance

His truth revealed

There was fire in the word

The flames surrounding me

Those voices that I heard

An endless angelic melody

There was fire in the Word

Setting the captives free

Embers of cleansed souls

Rising up to reign with Thee

It was all so real, so so real

It was all so real...I believe!

God Chose You

 

God has a plan for everyone

Though we may not see it

Our Father can see it through

For this reason, God chose you

This is a time of much distress

So much pain and emptiness

Poverty is knocking at the door

The city streets in an uproar

A shadow hovering above us

The Light has been outcast

Yet, in our midst, hope exist

In this Season of Christmas

Like ornaments upon the tree

So uniquely beautiful are we

Nestled within the branches

Where we have been placed

This night a star is hovering

A great light piercing through

The shadow of darkness flees

The Babe; the Prince of Peace

His great plan will be revealed

Eyes opened wide shall see

God chose you to light the way

God chose you to live in Peace!

The Face of a Thief

Tis the season of Peace, Joy; Love

A time of giving, sharing; caring
Visiting family and enjoying friends
Counting blessings; making amends

A time of grace for inner reflection
Taking inventory within the person
Offering ourselves; fulfilling needs
Preparing the way of eternal things

Darkness however, diminishes light
Forging its will upon all innocence
Seeking to destroy everything holy
Spreading evil and showing its face

Murderers, haters and race baiters
Violence inciters; shameless dividers
Petty politicians spewing discord
Playing out the social justice cord

Today, the bright lights are dimmer
The joy of the season now somber
Hearts are shattered and broken
Love, a word that is merely a token

Tis the season of Peace, Joy; Love
In its midst exist sadness and grief
This Christmas faith must prevail
To overshadow the face of a thief

He Opened My Eyes

Hustling, bustling; edgily waiting
The pace and pressure weighing
A sudden glance to the curb side
Was a moment of true awakening
In that moment in time I realized

How truly fortunate of a man I am
Taking for granted so many things
Only fools profess to understand
In the things that they can not see

One step, then two, taken in stride
Swaying his staff side over side
An amazing sight made me think
Compared to his faith I am weak

Life is a long journey crossing over
Red, yellow or green he did not see
Steps of faith lead to the other side
I too am blind; he opened my eyes
