Earn the Wings

I felt that I was dreaming
It was so beautiful there
Everyone was so happy
Joyous music in the air

Colorful faced bouquets
In the Spirit of the Dove
Filled with amazing grace
Absorbed by utter love

The feeling was magical
A gathering center piece
It was out of this world
Where all pain did cease

My eyes opened wide
Seeing many leap inside
So then I gave it a try
But it was not my time

Then a voice heartfelt
Said these words to me
Life is truly a blessing
Go forth; earn the wings

Spirit of Love

Even at the door - waiting is the Lord
He is near, He is very near
Even at the door - waiting is the Lord
Be prepared - have no fear

We see the world's misery
With all the pain and strife
Put aside all of your fears
Keeping faith in the Christ

Even at the door - waiting is the Lord
He is near, He is very near
Even at the door - waiting is the Lord
Loving hearts be in prayer

The many empty promises
Lost hope; broken dreams
All this lives excessiveness
Just bursting at the seams

Persecution in foreign lands
Persecuting our fellow man
Is a sign for every eye to see
Soon we will taste His victory

Even at the door waiting is the Lord
He is near, He is very near
Even at the door waiting is the Lord
He is near, prepare.....He is near

Spirit of Devotion

We love the dance; the tap, tap and sway
We love the motion; the slide, slide away
We love the energy; the dance in motion
We love the power; the spirit of devotion

The glamour and glitz quickly pass away
We only see the glorious side of fame
Shining stars, grow dimmer day by day
We love the things.....we love the things

We hear the tapping yet continue to stray
We set into motion but slide farther away
We have energy to enter into the dance
We lack spirit, the power of loving devotion

Enter the tap dance and be open to grace
Stop the slide and stand firmly on faith
Exhaust the energy; set the dance in motion
The awesome power and Spirit of Devotion

Peace and Contentment

 

Reaching for the stars

Seems the right thing to do

Get it all while you can

The world is waiting for you

Time passes quickly by 

This is your finest hour

The door is opened wide

To power and the dollar

Be aware of deception

Desire for material things

From our very conception

Deceit awaits in the wings

A remedy exits for a cure

The heart's utter fulfillment

Separation from the lure

Of this world's enticement

Freedom from the rat race

The soul's enlightenment

This Heaven sent grace

Peace and Contentment

God's Time

A sudden burst of energy out of the starting gate does not always secure lasting rewards
But a steady consistent flow will bring one through the gate at the finish line in God's time

A Clean Heart

Create in me a clean heart, O God

Wash my sin away; restore my faith

 

Fill my heart with wisdom

Let your word guide my way

You have paid the ransom

Rescued me from the grave

For so long I wandered

Walked the path of discord

You never abandoned me

Sweet Jesus, my Lord

Create in me a clean heart, O God

Wash my sin away; restore my faith

Guide me on this journey

Every step help me take

The times I get weary

Keep me firm in the faith

The Rock of salvation

Redeemer of all things

Fullness of compassion

Merciful King of Kings

Create in me a clean heart, my Lord

Remember my sinful ways...no more!

Times when we cry

He is forever, forever, forever

He walks with us

He talks to us

He loves us

Up close and personal
