Light of the Son

Whoever believes in the Son of Man

Will be lifted out of the wilderness

Into the light - into eternity

Whoever believes in the Great I Am

Will be lifted out of the darkness

Into the light - into eternity

For God sent His Son into the world

Not to condemn but set captives free

For every one that comes to the light

Will shine in light of glory everlasting

Whoever believes in the Son of Man

Will be lifted out of the wilderness

Into the light - into eternity

From the bondage of sin into the light

We will be lifted out - we will shine

If we believe in the glory of Son of Man

Into everlasting light - we will shine

Whoever believes in the Great I Am

Will be lifted into the joy of paradise

Believe in the "Light" of the "Son" - shine!

I'm Home

It was a beautiful ride

It was a wonderful life

Heaven is near

I have wings to fly

I am soaring high

Soon I'll be there

I just can't wait

To enter the pearly gates

And to step inside

But for now

I'll keep on some how

With the gift of life

Pains are controlling me

Weaker than I used to be

Each day is taking a toll

This is the end of the road

It was a heavenly ride

I am soaring so high

Without any cares

It was a beautiful life

Soon I'll say goodbye

When the light appears

Should today be the day

And I pass on my way

Into the glorious light

Don't grieve for me
Say a prayer for me

It was a heavenly ride

In the presence of "Love" I will be

The peace and joy of eternity

Fruits of the seeds I've sown

It was a heavenly ride --- "I'm Home"

Unconscionable

Assaulting Christianity

Opposition to humanity

In the Land of the Free

Decrees of man - insanity

Sterilization - contraception

Terminating pregnancies

Mandates without exemption

War against our liberty

Unconscionable game plan

Unconstitutional demands

Collision course with destiny

Compromising Christianity

Unprecedented abomination

Unjust power in hands of man

Godless laws of a free nation

Veiled within a health care plan

People of faith take a stand

In opposition to this unjust plan

Unconscionable insane decree

An assault on core Christianity

Love Rwanda - A Child's Inner-vision

A reflection on my daughter's recent trip to Rwanda. She and her peers from College went on a journey of a lifetime. They journeyed to an orphanage to teach and work with the children there; they themselves experienced much more. The children opened their eyes to life; the true meaning of love, simplicity, in the midst of poverty a great need. God Bless the children of Rwanda! 

------------------------------

She is living out her dream

Reaching for higher things

Not chasing riches or gold

She is a loving young soul

It started with a whisper

This quiet yearning within

A true loving inner-vision

Love Rwanda - love the children

From paradise to poverty

Overabundance to misery

Landfills of sculls and bones

This land they call home

Love Rwanda - love the children

Love the simplicity they live in

Sincerity - yet so poor and alone

Rwanda - the land they call home

Painful memories opened eyes

Of inhumanity and genocide

Hundreds of thousands died

Now they walk side by side

Love Rwanda - love the children

Alone in the land they call home

Absent of wealth - without greed

Loving children smiling tenderly

Their tiny hands and giant hearts

Beaming eyes extending lovingly

Children, teaching about Mission

Love Rwanda - love the children

Love Rwanda - A Child's Inner-vision

Without "Jesus"

Incessant longing - pain is in your eyes

Places to places - run but you can't hide

Redemption - is waiting out there for you

It's a new day - it's time to make a move

Without Jesus, there's no joy in our lives

Without Jesus, our salvation's on the line

Without Jesus, life has no clear direction

We wander without peace, without "Jesus"

Trapped - in a world that's lost its way

Struggling - to make it through the day

Weary - from all the pressures of today

We wander without peace, without "Jesus"

Without Jesus, there is never harmony

Without Jesus, there is no melody to sing

Without Jesus, there is no praise or rejoicing

We wander without peace, without "Jesus"

We spend our lives wandering - without "Jesus"

They "Live"-They"Love"-They"Forgive"

I saw them, and they, were many
Their little hands, their little feet
Once they were, but, are no more
Yet, in the fullness of time will be

Many are they, countless in number
Seeing not light of day, only, "Light"
Passed into glory, in glory they dwell
"Love" calls each one of them by name

I saw them, and they, were many
Little hands, playing, embracing
Little feet, running, dancing
But, I did not see their faces

The "Light of Life" shines upon them
They live, they love, they forgive
We shall see them all face to face
As the "Light of Life" shines upon us

I saw them, and they, were many
They "live"-they "love"-they "forgive"

The True Meaning of "Christmas"

I remember - Silent Night - Jingle Bells
The glistening lights - singing carols
And dreaming of a White Christmas

Stringing up cards across the walls
Holly and red ribbons decking the halls
The peaceful feeling of Christmas

I remember - the greatest story ever told
The Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes
As the stars of heaven stood guard by

"Jesus" laying there, the earth was still
Mary and Joseph - the scriptures fulfilled
Angels praising and adoring his holy name

The Babe, the Lamb, Son of the great "I Am"
"LOVE" - opening the gates to eternal bliss
I remember - the true meaning of "Christmas"
