TRUST IN THE LORD

I Trust in the Lord with all my heart

There is nothing to fear

With the Lord at my side

The waters of calm

Flow deep inside

Believe in the Lord, You’ll never be apart

No more loneliness inside

Content to be by myself

As I know that the Lord abides

Within my soul, as an elf

Talking to the Lord, at night

Troubles disappear

Strength and courage reappear

Solutions in my sight

When talking to the Lord at night

In the quiet, I listen

Alas, not a sound

But in my dreams, I realize

My answers have been found

The Lord always answers

In his own quiet way

Unbeknown to us

He quietly displays

Answers to our questions

Already asked

Solutions are revealed

Previously concealed

Always trust in the Lord,

Fore with him,

You are always in accord

FROM DUSK UNTO DAWN

Lord, from Dusk unto Dawn

My thoughts are with you

In all that I say, and in all that I do

I am your willing pawn

My soul fills with warmth

All my fears take flight

You are the keeper of my heart

Will always aid me in my plight

Lord, you lift my sprits high

You speak to my heart inside

You’ve shown me added insight

You’ve brought me to your side

Lord, You’ve shown me right from wrong

You always let the choices be mine

Yes, it was more than a throw of the dice

My choices were not always right

Lord, I’ve spoken unkind words

Some of my deeds have brought storms

I now understand your wisdom

And Lord, I am happy to say

You’ve loved me always

Every step of the way

GOD’S BEAUTY

The sky, all dressed in blue

Designed with God’s particular hue

The clouds slowly passing by

Beauty that makes me want to cry

The night stars twinkling in the sky

I never question why

The grass, a thick carpet of green

The sea, so calm and serene

The wind gently blowing past

God’s beauty makes one gasp

The quiet flow of the stream

I sit beside and dream

The warmth of the sun

I feel on my face

Away, I cannot run

So much beauty in this place

My soul has found inner peace

The wonder of it never will cease

All of this beauty, created with love

From God,

Our Father, above

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Jesus looks down from Heaven above

Watching his children,

With unconditional love

He died on the cross, washed away our sins

Allowing us always to dwell with him

No longer do we live under the law

We have been freed from Satan’s claw

Jesus died, giving us God’s grace

Blessing us all, a smile on his face

Each one of us, in every race

Armed with our Lord’s love for us

Doing his work with little fuss

Loving our neighbor, as we love him

Finding peace and happiness within

We live each day in his infinite care

Seeking his Truth when and where we dare

Helping us to find our own way

Showing us how not, to go astray

Guiding us on the right path to home

Telling us,

We are not alone

EMOTIONS

Emotions play havoc with the heart

Injure, damage our body parts

Emotions display all our feelings

Which can really send us reeling

Your body changes from day-to-day

Depending on which emotions you display

Emotions create the decisions you make

Right or wrong- Make no mistake

Emotions can give your heart great joy

They can also break you, as in a toy

Sometimes it’s a rollercoaster ride

With those you love inside

Emotions have control over your body as well

Sadness can destroy our body cells

Illness can filter in

Setting up their camp within

Our reactions to others,

A highly emotional state

Fore love, also hate, highly rate

Begin your day with a smile on your face

Put away ill-feelings,

They are out of place

Keeping your emotions in check

Clean, happy thoughts on upper deck

Show the world your inner glow

Which keeps you from ever feeling low

GOD’S GIFT TO US

When our father first created us

He gave us seven gifts, just because

He wanted his temple in good health

More important to him than wealth

Chakras were placed in our body with care

Designed to be tough, to take our wear and tear

Seven spiritual centers reside in seven ductless glands

To keep us healthy was our Father’s ultimate plan

These seven spiritual centers are called chakra’s,

Wheels that spin around

Ruled by our emotions, they never make a sound

Positive thoughts keep them going round, and round

They keep the body fit, I have found

Negative thoughts slow them down

Saddens them, makes them frown

Continued neglect will shut one down

And then sickness will come to town

Having good thoughts, joyful emotions

Keeps our spiritual centers in constant motion

Keeping the wheels spinning with happy feelings

Keeps our body fit, and functioning

These seven spiritual centers have another purpose too

Fore in those seven ductless glands called chakra’s,

Are God’s link to his children on earth

Fore in developing his seven spiritual gifts,

Which were placed in our chakra’s at birth

God was able to have his children,

Close to him, too

GOD’S CREATION - US

God created you, God’s miracle indeed

Created you in his image,

With his love for you, did he

The birth of a baby, God’s miracle to us

Fore that child holds God’s divine spark, a plus

Even in a non-perfect body, God’s spark still resides

Housed with God’s spiritual vibration, inside our souls, our minds

For whatever purpose we were born into this world

God’s spiritual link within us, aids in doing his will, not ours

We have need of this body to accomplish his will

To develop our souls, each and every one of us

Individual minds, thoughts, ideas, working within us

The perfect body for us, God has created

Housed with our soul for its progression, be elated

Each soul’s spiritual progression brings us closer to him

And to bettering ourselves, to being more perfect, as his son

This miracle of life that God created, US

The gift of free will that he has given us,

To be able to choose, to decide what’s best for our life

To make the right choices for our soul’s progression,

A Plus

While gazing at the beautiful child in your arms

While he is smiling at you, using his charms

You wonder what divine plan,

God has designed for him

This perfect miracle,

God’s creation,

Your son

THE BIBLE

Opinions in the Bible sometimes vary

Reverends point of view usually carries

Different Bibles, Different versions

Confusion brings about many questions

On more than one occasion

There should be more unity in our Bible

Why are many answers to questions asked, not visible

Not even some Reverends can agree

On the right version for you and me

The Old Testament is lost in some Churches of today

I can’t tell why because it’s part of the Bible, it stays

To learn of God, our Father, the Old Testament is the book

It has all of his works, on every page, please take a look

The story of Jesus Christ is magnificently displayed

Makes me want to be like him in every way

The telling of his life shows his complete love for us

The sacrifice he made for us without any fuss

His death on the Cross, that was done for us

Both Testaments in the Bible make up the book

Neither of which we should overlook

Opinions may vary

But your intelligence shall carry

Asking the Lord for answers to questions asked

Helps us to unravel the Bibles past

FAMILY VALUES

Looking outside, in the world of today

Lots of new technology is on its way

Computer hi-tech that changes daily

We have even had hi-tech wars lately

But what about family values in this world

Are we so busy in our lives, we’ve put them on hold?

Are we so involved with outside pursuits?

Not enough time, so we’ve called it quits

Each going along in their separate ways

Not seeing others in our family, for several days

Each of us searching for some meaning in life

Each of us wanting a life with less strife

Some of us feel so empty inside

Searching for something they just can’t seem to find

Start planning your life, putting Jesus inside

Place him in your heart, let your hearts open wide

Believe in Jesus Christ, pray on his name

Your prayers will be answered, your life will change

Fore God hears your prayers,

You’re never out of his range

THE HOLY BIBLE

Putting God in your life, brings family values

Attending Church as a family, brings togetherness, not blues

People of your Church become your brethren, your friends

Your family grows together, it mends

TODAY’S CHILDREN

What of the children we are bringing into today’s world?

What is their future going to hold?

What is their life going to be, when grown?

Are family values on the rise, or falling down?

What are we teaching our children today?

Are the schools preparing for their tomorrow?

Are parents and teachers trying to work together?

Are States and Government working

To rid our schools of drugs and alcohol forever

To give our children a chance to grow

In mind, body and soul

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up a child in the way he should go:

and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

A family that prays together, stays together

A spiritual foundation for a child

Puts God in their lives, gives them a better tomorrow

Your children will remember time spent as a family in church

They will grow in God’s love, a new life for them will be launched

The friendships they make, the new paths they will take With God in their future

A better world they will create

PRAYING TO GOD

God, my Father, inside of me

Fulfilling my needs, hearing my pleas

Talking to you daily, Placing in you all my trust

Thanking you for blessings received an absolute must

Sharing the love you’ve given me, with others in need

Fills my heart with over-flowing love, indeed

A smile on my face for everyone I meet

Passing God’s love around is a special treat

Giving a blessing to everyone that I meet

I received many blessings in return from God

Helping those in need, Giving from the heart

Makes me a servant of God, right from the start

Fulfilling his needs and doing his Will each day

Keeps God in my heart, my life, to stay

A positive attitude increases my love for all

I will be able to serve more, answer his call

God shows me the right path to follow

Sometimes the path is narrow and slow

But knowing it’s the right path, I steadily trod

Fore it leads me closer to God, closer to home

God’s trust in me gives me confidence inside

God’s faith in me, leaves me nothing to fear

God’s love for me, I give to all those I meet

God’s hope for me is to do his works, by his side

As I draw neigh unto God, he draws neigh unto me

OUR PRAYERS

When we pray to our Heavenly Father, in secret it should be

The topics discussed should be, just between you and he

What you say to God in secret, should remain that way

Fore when you pray to God in secret, on any day

God rewards you openly, in all that you say

When you pray to God, no repetitions please

It’s just a conversation between two friends, say it with ease

God considers it vain when praying, as in layers

Just open your heart, pray from your soul, you will be heard

When in prayer, God is waiting inside your heart, he hears

When we pray to God, repeating is not needed

Fore he knows of our needs, before we ask, indeed

When we ask in prayer, they will be granted unto us

They are usually sent in many different ways, a plus

The next song we hear, book we read, or person we meet

In a dream, while in prayer, meditation, or even a sign on a street

God grants your prayer requests in his own quiet way

Even upon asking them, they are being sent your way

Matthew 6: 6 - 8

6: "But thou when thou prays, enter into thy closet, and when thou

hast shut the door, pray to thy Father which is secret, and thy

Father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly."

7: "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens do;

for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."

8: "Be not ye therefore like unto that, for your Father knoweth

what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

TAKE TIME TO PRAY

Each day we should set aside a certain amount of our time

To talk to the Lord, discuss our needs, on his direct line

When we awake each morning, take the time to pray

Fore the Lord wants to hear what we have to say

The Lord wants to commune with us, every single day

Listen and look for his
