My Thoughts and Poetry

A man enters my work today

"Got some food please ma'am?"

I go to get him what I may

Peanut Butter, Jelly and spam.

He places the cans within his sack

Tells me "God bless you, thank you"

It is he who truly gave more back

When I offered him a blanket, too.

He told me God takes care of me

I now have a roof over my head

Was given a kerosene unit for some heat

And now I've a blanket for my bed.

I don't have electricity, or a way to cook

But I manage to make it through

I have my Bible, my only book

And I'm blessed by folk like you.

It took all I could to hide my tears

As he smiled and shook my hand

Said it wasn't like this for years

But now he does the best he can.

His heart was kind, his smile sincere

As he turned to go out the door

He left telling me so very clear

That God gives him so much more.

He told me he was truly blessed

Made some money feeding a cat

That God would take care of the rest

And he was very thankful for that.

Living on faith, this man sure was

Not a penny, he did what he could

But he was blessed more than most of us

He said, "Don't worry, i'm doing good."

When you see me walking down the street
Do you look at my face or down at my feet
Do you look at my hair all stringy and long
or my feet - with barely any shoes or socks on

why are my clothes tattered and torn
why do I cry like a newborn
why do I pray to God for you?
You have not a clue
Till you walk in my shoes.

When you see me sleeping in the park?
Do you stop for a while or sneak by in the dark?
Do you look at me with pity, afraid to say hi?
hoping I will not see you passing on by.

Why do I sleep here and not in a bed?
why don’t I rent a motel instead?
why do I pray to God for you?
You have not a clue
Till you walk in my shoes.

yesterday you laughed at me,
sleeping on the street
you stared at me from my brimmed hat
down to the shoes upon my feet,
you told me to get a job,
it was of my own choice
that I was without shelter
you said in a condescending voice...

I look at you now all alone
sitting on the front door stoop
as if you’d lost your last friend
sipping a can of soup...
I walked up to you
put out my hand
offered to take you home
you looked at me
and in a low voice
said but you live on the street...

I replied that is what you thought
when you seen my stop to rest
you see my years are not so young
my feet are not the best...
I had stopped on my walk
sat down and fell asleep
when you came along
Assuming the worst of me...
you are guilty, as are most
of judging those you see
when something in your world
does not seem like it should be...

do not judge me by my clothes
or where I choose to rest a while
I may be the only one
To offer you warmth and a smile...
in this world there are many things
that do not appear to be just right
take a moment before you speak
you may see in a different light...
the world is not as it may appear
a suit and tie does not mean much
no more than a tired soul
should be treated with unjust..

so the next time you see someone
resting for a bit
don’t just pass them by
It may surprise you if you sit...
share a story, maybe two
you may be surprised to see
not all things are as they appear
some things are just meant to be.

Do not give me food, but teach me to fish
Do not give me drink, but show me the fountain,
Do not give me shelter, but lead me to the forest,
Do not give me money, but teach me to work.

I will show you the Word, the truth it will bring
I will show you the Word, your thirst it will quench,
I will show you the Word, your soul will be sheltered,
I will show you the Word, you'll feel rich as a king.

Faith, prayers, belief, hope... give us this day our daily bread!

You pick me up when I am down
When I feel left out, You take me in
You give me hope, when all else fails
True from the beginning until the end.

You are my Lord, my Savior, my Friend
You are my beginning, You are my end,
You are the most powerful, the Great I Am,
You know my future and where I have been.

You do not leave me when others give up
When I sin, You always forgive
You give me strength when I am weak
You died for me, so that I may live.

 Thank our Lord for each one

For it is Him to whom we pray.

Not just at church or on Easter                      Each morning when you start your day.

Celebrate the gift of life

Each morning with the rising sun

For each day, give thanks and praise

And again, at night when day is done.  

 He put the green in the meadows
the blue in the sky
smoke in the mountains
with their peaks so high.

He put the yellow in the daisies
red in the rose
sand in the desert
where one rarely goes.

He put the water in the oceans
Rivers, lakes and streams
Stars up in the heavens
sunshine and moonbeams.

He put planets in the galaxy
made it so the earth would turn
gave us life, gave us strength
the ability to grow and learn.

He gave life to all we see
and to much that goes unseen
from the tiniest cell of life
to the one-hundred-foot red oak tree.

He put things in their places
left it all then in our care
from everything on the land
in the sea and in the air. 

I believe in our Lord and Savior
I believe in that Cross on the hill
I believe in the power of prayer
To be done, if it is God's Will.

Glory to God in the highest
To all the earth, proclaim
Glory to God, our Savior
Glory to God, praise His name.

I believe in the resurrection
I believe He died for my sins
I believe in life everlasting
To be done, just ask the Lord in.

I believe, we believe, let the earth sing in praise
We believe, I believe, give praise to His name.

Glory to God in the highest
To all the earth proclaim
Glory to God, our Savior
Glory to God, praise His name.

You are the King of all kings
Worthy of everything
I thank you for the blessings you have given
You are the Saving Grace
Your presence in this place
My sins you have all forgiven...

So, why Lord do I hurt
Knowing your love is here with me
Why cannot I fix those things
That should not really be

So, why Lord do I hear
The sounds of babies crying
Homeless and hungry
Innocent folk dying
Why cannot I fix those things
That should not truly be?

You are the King of all kings
Your praises we gladly sing
Thank you with open hearts 

for blessings you have given
You're our saving grace
Present in this place
Our sins you have forgiven....

So, why lord can we not see
Knowing your love is here for all
Why cannot we heal the pains
When our loved ones take a fall

So, why Lord do I see
Corruption all around
Innocent lives mistreated
Trying to hold ground

Why cannot we heal the pains
When our loved ones take a fall?

Frigid fingers, tingly toes
on this path of crusted snow
Fire of dawn lights up the sky
winds whisper gently as they sigh
He is risen, Son from the grave
His life for us which He gave
New life, new vision on this day
Blackbirds on wings will carry away
troubles and sorrows from life He will keep
until the day breaks gently from sleep. 

He painted the colors of the rainbow
Chiseled the mountains out of stone
Placed the daisies in the meadows
He made the crystal fountains flow.

He is my painter, He gave me a smile
He is my sculpture, He gave me style
He is my peace when times get rough
He is my Savior, and that's enough

He painted the stars we see at night
Formed the valleys beneath the sky
Placed the moon and sun way up high
He made the ocean and all it's life. 

Most powerful, all glorious, most wondrous Lord

We lift our hands up high

Our Savior, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords

We lift our hands up high...

We lift our hands, our voices sing

Glory to the Risen King

We lift our voices, our gifts we bring

Alleluia,.... Alleluia..... All--e---lu---ia

Most mighty, all knowing, everlasting Lord

We celebrate your life today

Our Messiah, Light of the World, Lamb of God

We celebrate your life today.

They rolled that stone, and to their surprise

Our Savior lives, and shall never die!!!

We call ourselves Christians 

But if Christians we truly are

Wouldn't we give a ride to a friend

Who is without a car

Lend an ear, answer the phone

Even to those who drive us crazy

Or is it that true Christians 

Have truly become that lazy

Did Jesus turn his back on you

When he was on the cross

Did He tell you to find your own way

When you were truly lost

Or did He die and give His life

So you could live forever

He gives us love and direction

His love He never severs

Does not put us on hold

He is always there

Expecting us to do the same

For it is His love that we share

Next time you go to church

Or take out your Bible

Remember that our love

Should never sit on idle

When that friend runs out of gas

Be there in a hurry

When the stranger knocks on your door

Do not run and scurry

It could be a messenger

A reminder to us to care

If you call yourself a Christian 

It does not matter when or where.

There should not be pause

Button you can use

Christian way of doing

Is what you should always choose.

I was lost
I was confused
I did not know what else to do
So, Dear Lord, I gave it to You.

I gave you my troubles
The load to bear
Gave you my worries
I knew you'd care
I gave you so much more that that
Gave you my heart
Knowing you'd always be there.

I was alone
I was weak
I did not know who to turn to
So, Dear Lord, I turned to You.

I gave you my worries
The times I felt blue
Gave you my troubles
You'd know what to do
I gave you this and so much more
Give you my life
Knowing you'd see me through.

I was hungry
I was forlorn
I did not know what else to do
So, Dear Lord, I gave it to you.

I gave you my hunger
The times I felt weak
Gave you my thirst
You gave me strength
I gave you this and my life too
Give you the praise
Knowing it is only you I seek

I was calm
I was relieved
I now knew what I had to do
Dear Lord, I only needed to trust in You.

For the blind, You can give sight
In our darkest hours, You give us light
We only need to stop and pray
You will take our fears away…

You are most Holy, Lamb of God, Lord Almighty, Savior to me
You lift me up when I am weak; You hear my prayer on bended knee

For the hungry, You teach us to feed
In our weakest moments, You give us strength
We only need to have faith and pray
You will cleanse our sins away…

I am a sinner, child of God, blind and hungry, please come to me
I am calling You when I’m weak, Your child is praying on bended knee

I see the light, You showed me the way My life is full, You taught me to pray           
You are my Savior, You fill my needs, Your child is calling on bended knee.

God hear my prayers
not from my tongue
but from my heart
Your work is done...
To believe and trust
In your amazing grace
God hear my prayers
Here in this place.

With fervent heart
to You we pray
Keep us safe
both night and day...
Show us what
You wish us to do
With fervent heart
We'll see it through.

God hear our prayers
not from our voice
but from deep within
Where we have choice...
To believe and trust
In your amazing grace
God hear our prayers
Here in this place.

My time alone with God is when the evening ends
all my thoughts of the day now on me descend
I thank Him for the day and ask for him to keep
me and my family safe when I lay down to sleep

My time alone with God is so precious and so dear
to shed my sins, give him praise, knowing He is near
I thank Him for the sacrifice he gave for us to live
knowing that there is so much to Him I want to give

My time alone with God is with the morning dew
all my thoughts for the day, rejoice in all I do
I thank Him for the sun, the rain and for the day
and then at night, once again, I kneel to Him and pray.

As Easter approaches

Daffodils all in bloom

A reminder of blessings

Fill heart and room

Thankful for family

Friends in my life

Joyful heart for the man

Who made me his wife.

First signs of spring

Robins return

Reminder of our Savior

Ashes fill the urn

Count your blessings

Enjoy the birth of spring

Give thanks to our God

Who gave us everything.

If you woke up this morning, be thankful; 

If you have a roof over your head, be thankful,

If you had food for breakfast this morning, be thankful,

If you had water to take a shower, be thankful,

If you had clothes in your closet, be thankful,

If you have a job or way to pay bills, be thankful,

If you have family & friends to look after, be thankful,

If you have family or friends looking after you, be thankful,

If you have your health, be thankful,

If you have a means of getting around, be thankful,

If you can smell the spring air, be thankful,

If you can see the flowers blooming, be thankful,

If you have an optimistic look on life, be thankful, 

If you have the ability to read this post, be thankful,

If you read this and answered yes to any of the above, 

you are blessed!  May God continue to bless you!

Not in an hour
Or in a day
We cannot wait a week, we need to pray

Not in a month
Or another year
We cannot wait Lord, we need you here

You were there when we cried a tear
You were there to take away our fear
You were there when mistakes we made
You were there saying do not be afraid

We need you now
If there was ever a time
So many lost their lives
People living in fear
I know that you are near
Dear Lord, we need you now. 

Not another hour or day can go by
Not another month or year to cry
Lord, we know some are still so blind
In their hearts they cannot find
The faith to let go of their fear
Dear Lord, we need you now, we need you here. 

We need you now
The time is here
So many living in fear
Many have truly lost their way
We need you, dear Lord we pray
Dear Lord, we need you now. 

If there ever was a time we needed to see you here
The time is now Lord, we need faith to overcome fear

We need you now
The time has come
Your Will be done
Dear Lord, we need you now

My dear Lord, as we celebrate Your day
My dear Lord, together we can still pray
We may not be together but still Your Word we hear
As we try to face this world with faith and no fear

My dear Jesus, You take away our sins
My dear Jesus, since the day our life begins
We may not deserve the grace you freely show
As we try to let go of despair and replace it with hope.

My dear Lord as You look upon this earth
My dear Lord, You give us second birth
We may not deserve the way You always here
As we try to face tomorrow with faith and without fear.  

Faith is believing
Trust is loving
Courage is Faith
Success is in trusting...
Faith in God
Trust in God
Courage through Jesus
Success through Jesus..
To fall is human
To get up is faith...
To sin is human
To believe is trust...
To fail is human
To succeed is courage...

With Jesus all things are possible
With God I shall not fail
With God there is no obstacle
With Jesus we will prevail.

If I were one of two peas in a pod

I'd like the other pea to be God

Someone to guide and to protect

Someone who'll forgive and not forget

A child who once was and always will be

His child till all eternity

If I were one of two peas in a pod

I'd like the other pea to be God

You will never stand tall until you kneel down
Never succeed until you give up
You will never see light until you go through the dark
Never see faith until your down in your luck

Give up on fighting
Give up on things
Give up your heart
Give it to Jesus our King.

You will never speak without learning to cry
Never walk without learning to crawl
You will never see truth without hearing a lie
Never stand up until you've learned how to fall,

Fall down for truth
Fall down to your knees
Fall down for Jesus
Fall down to Jesus our King.

May peace one day find a way to survive
May hope find a way to each one's heart
May God bless us all and keep love alive
May peace one day find a way to start.

Such a simple thing, to love thy neighbor
The words once said seem so clear
Then when the actions are put to the test
They are answered with hatred and with fear.

May peace one day find a way to survive
May hope become the answer we share
May God bless our country, bring back the pride
May peace one day be all that we hear.

When times are tough, it is easy to blame
Point a finger and not think about it twice
Then when you realize and hang your head in shame
The answers you'd heard weren't so nice

May peace one day find a way to survive
May God bless this world and bring peace
May hope be the answer in all of our lives
May peace one day be all that we see.

My Lord whispers a melody deep within my heart ,
His melody is what I hear as my day starts.
Birds that sing with the morning dew, roosters morning crow,
are some of Gods melodies that I've come to know.

He gave it all, the morning dew,
He gave it all, for me and you,
He gave it all, for us to live,
Our Savior gave the greatest gift.

When I hear a baby cry or a child laughing with glee,
it reminds me of the gifts my Saviour gave to me.
Every time I smell the rain or see a snowflake fall,
summer heat and winter snow, our Lord gave it all.

He only asks that we live our days To glorify Him in all ways
Victory at cavalry, He gave it all for you and me!

He gave it all, the sun and moon,
He gave it all, His life so soon,
He gave it all, for us to live,
Our Savior gave the greatest gift.

Ever stop and think?
Take a moment and listen…
Ever wonder why?
Things just seem to happen…

You may not know the darkness if you cannot see the light
May not know the feeling of sad if you cannot know the joy
There cannot be hatred in a world without any love
Peace will find a way once we win the wars we fight.

Ever stop and look?
Take a moment and just see…
Ever wonder when?
Things will be as they should be…

Once we find hope, the light will always shine
Once we find forgiveness, joy will be within our hearts
Once we know the love, our Father taught us to know
Once we have faith, peace will be with all mankind.

When you loose faith
Go your own way
You will not win
Till you once again
Let yourself go
And you'll then know
That what you'd lost
Came with a cost...

Not of money
Not of things
Given by Christ
King of Kings
He paid the price
For each of our lives
That is the hope
That faith brings.

When you loose your way
Kneel to Christ and pray
You're never alone
He will lead you home
Let yourself be
And you'll then see
The love of Christ
He already paid the price.

Not of silver
Not of gold
Given in love
The stories told
He paid the price
For each of our lives
That is the faith
Onto which I hold. 

Second chance at life to do it right
No more reason to fuss and fight
Open your heart and let Him in
It is then your second chance begins.

He promises us He’ll take us through
He is there to guide in all we do
We will take that free will He did give
Until the day we get a second chance to live

Close your thoughts to the world outside
Know that He is always by your side
He will not forsake you, not set you free
He is our savior, died for you and for me

He promised us a second chance at life
Open our hearts, Let Him come inside
All we need to do is to do what’s right
Put our burdens down, He’s won the fight

Second chances don’t come every day
We’re given it for the price He paid
He fought the battle so we could win the war
Open your heart; He’ll walk through the door

For the blind, You can give sight 

In our darkest hours, You give us light 

We only need to stop and pray 

You will take our fears away…

You are most Holy, Lamb of God, 

Lord Almighty, Savior to me 

You lift me up when I am weak; 

You hear my prayer on bended knee
For the hungry, You teach us to feed In our weakest moments, You give us strength We only need to have faith and pray You will cleanse our sins away…
I am a sinner, child of God, blind and hungry, please come to me I am calling You when I’m weak, Your child is praying on bended knee

I see the light, You showed me the way My life is full, You taught me to pray            You are my Savior, You fill my needs, 

Your child is calling on bended knee. 

Two words I say
Thank You today
For the gift You gave
For the price You paid
Thank You for my day
Two words I say.

Two words I say
Thank You today
For the price You paid
They laid You in the grave
Thank You for that day
Two words I say.

Two words I say
Thank You for today
For the life you've made
I would never trade
Thank You for every day
I've got the chance to say.

Two words .... Thank 

Sometimes my morning coffee is not enough
To get me started on days when things are tough
So I get down on my knees and thank the Lord above
And ask for Him to help me with the tougher stuff.

Praise God, not only in the glory times
Praise God, when it is hard to pray
Praise God, there is no mountain you can't climb
When you praise God, He'll take your fears away.

God bless you all and God bless our nation.

If I only had a dime
in addition to my time
Would you still walk with me?

If I only had a phone
in addition to my home
Would you still talk with me?

Friendship has no cost
Time should not be lost
When you spend time with a friend
There should be no price
You should not have to think twice
To step up and lend a helping hand.

If I only had my Lord
And His given word
I know that He would walk with me

If I did not have a phone
Or a place to call my own
I know that He would talk with me.

Dear Lord, I'm on my knees tonight
Praying for you to make things alright
Give Your mercy, You are in control
We need You for this world to grow

Grow in peace, spread love and joy
Come into the hearts of every girl and boy
It is with You, we can see the light
Dear Lord, I'm on my knees tonight.

Dear Lord, as I kneel and pray
Praying for you to take the pain away
Guide us, teach us how to give
We need You so we may truly live

Live in peace, spread good will and cheer
Come into the hearts of those who are far and near
It is with you, You take our fears away
Dear Lord, as I kneel and pray

Dear Lord, I give myself to you
Give me strength in all I say and do
Guide me, teach me, You can see me through
Dear Lord, I give myself to you.

Never forget how blessed you are
Be positive, do not allow yesterdays troubles follow you
Each day we wake is a new day, thank the Lord.
You are blessed in all you are able to do

Be blessed and find peace in the world around you
Some may not have any soup, nor any bread
You are blessed with more, just that you are here.
Many go home to a place with no pillow or bed.

A shelter of canvas, possibly a tree or a bridge
Looking for a morsel, trying to keep warm
Do not criticize, reach out, share as you would with Christ
Look inside your heart so they may see no harm.

God has blessed you more than you may realize
Look around you, you do not have to look very far
To see the peace and joy in your life
Never forget how blessed you are.

I was blinded
The storms of life beating down
Walking through the fog
Wind and the rain pelting upon my heart
Against my face
The sting
Reminding me of the hurt
I needed to run
My legs froze
No way for me to escape.

Through the fog I trudged
A light...
Distant, so faint, could I make it?
As if rubber
I fell to my knees
Surrounded by the puddles of life
The pounding of the raindrops
I felt the splash on my cheeks
Combined with my tears

I prayed..
Give me strength Lord
I see the light.
As if an umbrella covered the earth
The rain stopped
I stood up
Looked up to the sky
To the spectrum of colors
Against an azure backdrop
The sun shined with its rays of Glory

God's promise...
The spectrum of colors filled the sky
A brilliant bridge over the earth
He heard my prayers
I walked
Through the fog of yesterday
Leaving the storms behind,
A new hope alive inside of me
What a beautiful feeling
I am saved.

Another shooting
Another life lost
They say for peace
Yet peace is the cost
If truly they want
For peace to win
Then violence must stop
And true peace will begin

Another morning
Another night
Why must things be wrong
Yet they say it's for right
If right it was
For what seems wrong
Then we need to stop
And it has been too long.

Another headline
Another story
They say we're america
Yet no longer fly "Old Glory"
If American we are
For this fight to end
Then stand tall and proud
And our country defend.

Another hour
Another day
In God we trust
Yet we do not pray
If we truly want
For violence to end
Then prayers should start
And true peace will begin.

Little bird in the sky

Flying so high

What do you see below

Do you see love from up there

or fear everywhere

Even from people we know?

Sometimes I wish I 

Could fly very high

To a place where no one would be

I'd sit on a cloud

And look all around

Trying to solve some of life's mysteries.

There will come a day

when people will say

Peace would really be nice

They'd help each other out

I have no doubt

and they would not even think twice.

Until that day comes

From the morning sun

Until the sun sets at night

I pray for us all

The big and the small

That we all treat each other right.

Little bird in the sky

Flying so high

I hope that one day you'll see

when you look down below

That the world will know

Peace and Love are truly the keys.

The headline reads "3 year old shot today"
Another reads of more dismay
A fire burns, gun shots are heard
Where was God, He gave His word.

He gave His word to always be
To stand beside us in times of need
He shelters us from the stormy seas
He gave His word to you and me.

The headline reads "he was so young"
Another life that had just begun
Crimes don't end, more wars start
Where was God, was He in your heart.

He gave His word to us once again
To stand beside us once we give in
He shelters us from where we've been
He gave His word to forgive us our sin.

The headline reads "Where Was God"
Another page filled with crime and fraud
He was there for those who asked you see
He gave His word, did you call on Him to be .

He Gave His word, a word he keeps
Shelters us even when we sleep
Our Savior is now and will be till the end
The One who'll always be a friend.

Where Was God, did he forsake
Did He turn around on this mistake
Did He give up on me finally
Where was God, was He there for me

He was there to hold that little one
To show us peace when fighting was done
He was there waiting for us to see
God keeps His word to you and to me.

I asked the Lord
Where shall I go
You have a plan
Of this I know
From the first day
Until my last
You know my future
I paved my past.

Heavenly Father, to You I pray
Lead me, guide me, each passing day
Keep my soul when I turn out the light
Show me the way Lord, I pray tonight

I prayed today
For You to be
My guiding light
To watch over me
From the moment
The sun will rise
Until day is done
And I close my eyes

Heavenly Father, I know you'll be
My Lord and Savior through eternity
You are the One Lord, to whom I pray
My plan is yours Lord, show me the way.Running a holiday sale or weekly special? Definitely promote it here to get customers excited about getting a sweet deal.

It is easy to thank God for your blessings           

Not so easy to thank Him for the rest

I'ts in the moments of life's tribulations

Your faith is surely put to the test...

Thank God when things are up so high

Do not forget Him when times are down

You may not see what your future holds

But know that He is always around...

Call out His name, He will surely hear

The voice you speak and what's in your heart

He may not give you the answer you seek

But calling out His name is the place to start...

It does not end there, you must press on

Revival is not something set up under a tent

It's knowing that the river flows from you

And that with Jesus your time is spent. 

So as you go on with your daily tasks

Take a moment for God and say a prayer

Thank him for the blessings in your life

And know when things are down, He is still there.

I awoke this morning     

Thanked God for my day

For the blessings He gives me

For the price that He paid.

When you truly have

The Lord in your heart

His presence is there

And has been from the start...

He’ll never forsake you

Asks not much in reply

Wants for you to remember

The reason He died.

He died on the cross

Asks not much in return

He took up the cross

And His crown made of thorns;

He is very alive in our hearts

And our minds

His love is forever

A one of a kind...

So as you get up tomorrow

Thank God for your day

Ask for His forgiveness

And in your heart He will stay.

God is my compass

He will show me the way

With Him in my heart

I will not go astray

He guides me and teaches 

Me life's mysteries

His word has remained

Throughout history.

God is my Captain

His wind guides my course

The oceans I travel

He's my driving force.

Whenever I'm lonely

On Him I can call

He'll be there to catch me

If ever I fall.

God is my Anchor

He will always stay

Right here beside me

Showing me the way

The way to salvation

Is through Him to the end

My Compass, my Captain

My Anchor, my Friend

At times life seems like an uphill climb
So much to do, so little time
Then there are moments, you wish them away
Looking forward to a new day.
Whatever life brings, cherish it and smile
God has His reasons for every life mile
Sometimes those moments that worry us so
Are the ones we'll look back upon and just know
That was the time God carried us through
We're never alone, He walks along with you.
We may not see Him, but His presence is known
In all of His Glory, and mercies He's shown.

At times life flows along simple and fine
Walking gently, no mountain to climb
These are the times we may forget to pray
Looking back on a fun yesterday.
Whatever life brings, thank God for each one
When you lay day at night and rise with the sun
Sometimes it's easy to forget to give praise
And go about life in our own simple ways
That is the time God should be thanked twice
Not only when troubled, but when things are nice
We may not hear Him, but His voice is a whisper away
In our hearts, in our lives, is where He will stay.

When the storms are rough, He will calm the seas
When the burdens are heavy, He will carry the load
When you are at your bottom, He will lift you up
When you face potholes in life, He will pave the road.

He is the Savior, King of Kings
Almighty comforter, peace He will bring
He is the Savior, Let the Angels sing
God Almighty- Creator of all things.

Lamb of God, Light of the World
Blessed Messiah, the Great I AM

When you feel alone, bow your head and pray
When you are lost, He will show you the way
When darkness falls, He will brighten your day
When you call His name, He’ll take your sins away

Revealer, Redeemer, Lord God Almighty
Lamb of God, Prince of Peace

Never forget how blessed you are
Be positive, do not allow yesterdays troubles follow you
Each day we wake is a new day, thank the Lord.
You are blessed in all you are able to do

Be blessed and find peace in the world around you
Some may not have any soup, nor any bread
You are blessed with more, just that you are here.
Many go home to a place with no pillow or bed.

A shelter of canvas, possibly a tree or a bridge
Looking for a morsel, trying to keep warm
Do not criticize, reach out, share as you would with Christ
Look inside your heart so they may see no harm. 

God has blessed you more than you may realize
Look around you, you do not have to look very far
To see the peace and joy in your life
Never forget how blessed you are.

A bird tapped on my window
looking to get out of the cold
Could not get near to him
Or in my hands I'd hold..
Hold him till he got warm
And felt safe to fly
But all I was able to do
Was to sit and watch him try.

Someone may come a-knocking
Asking you to let them in
Do we turn our backs
Or invite them like a friend;
They may be seeking shelter
Or maybe a bit more
Could it be our Savior
Who came knocking on your door?

We hear a cry for help
Do we run and answer the call
Or keep on living our own lives
Not knowing if they may fall...
We sometimes get a bit selfish
Scared or even mad
When folk come to us asking
Why can't we then be glad?

Happy to have the chance
To help another with a need
However, this world we live
Is filled with too much greed.
So be it a person, or even
A little bird you see
Needing something from you
Answer them with glee...

Be happy in the moment
Do as we all should
You will have made a difference
It will make your heart feel good.

I Sit and Wonder

I sit here and wonder as I ponder of what to do today
Read a book, write a story or go outside to play
So many choices God does give us each and every day
Why is it only at dinnertime we think to stop and pray?

I sit here and wonder as I ponder of things that are not right
Read the paper, listen to stories of people who just fight
So many choices God does give us to make things alright
Why is it only when things go wrong that we can see the light?

I sit and wonder as I ponder of life and all it's joys
Read the Bible, hear the story of a birth of a baby boy
So many choices God does give us in our life to employ
Why is it only at Christmastime you see love, peace and joy?
