This Love

This love I feel is so very real. Each day my heart grows more and more. His words I long to hear. His promises I want to know. There is no greater love than this. God shows me each day, that I am His child. When I wake up each morning and see the sun smile. I can't help but say, "Lord, You're worthy to be praised. You alone are worthy. You're worthy to be praised."

In the crazy times, You see about me. In the sad times, You wipe my tears. In the good times, You rejoice with me. I know that You love me. This love is like no other love. For Who You are and for all You've done, You're worthy to be praised.

Coming Home

This world is not my home. I am not from here. Don't always understand this place. Sometimes I get lonely down here for my Heavenly Father. Sometimes, I wanna scream, "Lord, come get me." He comes and sees about me. He strengthens and comforts me. "So glad that You love me," is my reply. One of these days, I will say by by. One of these days, I'm coming home, but just not today. I got a few more things to do down here for my Father.

At Church

Sitting at church thinking of life's bountiful treasures. Thinking of life's endeavours. Thrying to figure out why, why things go the way they do. Here's a simple thought. "God loves me more than anyone else possibly could." God is sitting down here at church in the midst making us feel good.

God is Undoubtedly Working

God is undoubtedly working. The trees sawy in the wind, the willows can bend, birds fly south for the winter. God is working here.

God is undoubtedly working. Spring and Winter come, cold and sunny days now. God is working here.

God is undoubtedly working. The flowers bud with blooms, the coming Bride Groom and on that day of rapture. God will be working here.

God is undoubtedly working. The Bible is coming true, proving to me and you, the Bible has said, time is drawing nearer. God is working here.

God is undoubtedly working. Countries at war, peace is hard to be found here, time is drawing near.

God is undoubtedly working. The killing has begun. God is undoubtedly working.

Now, where will you run? God is undoubtedly working. The fire is getting hot.

God is undoubtedly working. You don't want to rot. God is undoubtedly working. Time is drawing near.

Sunny Days

The sun is shining on me day by day.
I have found a brighter day.

No need to worry, no need to fear.
Because the God I serve is always near.

Sunny days find me smiling wide.
Smiles all around fill my mind.

Thanks be to God who substaineth me.
If it had not been for Him, I couldn't see.

These sunny days that grace my day.
Thank God, I found a brighter way!

Nobody Like Jesus

Nobody like Jesus,
I've heard it time and time before.

These days, it seems,
I'm learning it more and more.

It was once a phrase I heard mama say.
But now I understand it more every time I pray.

There's nobody like Jesus,
He's The First and He's The Last.

There's nobody like Jesus,
He's knows my future, present, and past.

It was once a phrase I heard mama say.
But now I understand it more every time I pray.

Thank God that Jesus loves me,
I wouldn't make it without Him.

Thank you Lord,
That I can call You Friend.

Love Left Her Mark

I kept hearing, "Some day your change is gonna come."
I kept hearing, "Sometimes you got to hold on."
I began to believe my change wasn't ever gonna come.
I almost gave up and decided not to hold on.

But Love came by one day.
She whispered in my ear, "Stay strong."
She hinted, "Help is on the way."
She declared, "It won't be long."

Her words rang true in my heart.
With her words I could move ahead.
Her words gave me a new start.
God told my feet where to head.

Love left her mark.
Her words were true, telling me to wait.
Love's word, gave me a spark.
In waiting, God sent me a mate.

Not expecting anything other than work.
Surely wasn't looking for whom I found.
I really like God's system of perks.
God's perks can lift our heart up from the ground.

Thank You, Love

Thank you, Love,

Thank you, Love,
For giving my friends the hearts to stand by me.

Thank you, Love,
For giving me a heart to love all those around me.

Life Hurts Sometimes

Lord, I am crying out to You.
There are some things I am going through.
My heart is in pain and my soul hurts, too.
If You don't help me, I can't make it through.
These crazy folk done worried my nerves,
I just need to hear from You, just one word.
God, You are the only one who understands.
Please guide my feet as You hold my hands.
My heart is in pain and my soul hurts, too.
If You don't help me, I can't make it through.
Life's up and down have gotten to me.
That's why I am crying out to Thee.
Oh Father, please, please hear my earnest plea.
Father, I am crying out on my bended knee.
I need Your peace that I can't understand.
Unto Thee I have stretched my hand.
Lord, life hurts sometimes.

My Christmas Love

My Christmas Love isn't here.
He's gone, so far away.
I am sad and despondent.
There will be no happy holidays.

I keep thinking about he & I.
I have his present under the tree.
I keep on wondering time and time again.
Does he have a present for me?

I have happy thoughts of him.
I just want to wish him Merry Christmas.
He has happy thoughts of me.
I just want to hear him say, "Merry Christmas."

The Christmas Carols don't sound the same.
There won't be any Christmas cheer.
The Christmas lights don't seem the same.
My Christmas Love isn't here.

I Don't Wanna See You

You keep saying,
"I'll be home for Christmas."
But I don't want to see you.

But I don't really miss you!
I don't wanna see you,
So, don't come by.
I don't miss you,
And I won't cry.

A Farewell Note to You

I have tried so hard just to let you know. Everything I feel, but it's time I let you go. No questions are being answered, No mysteries being solved. I have tried over and over to get you involved. It was but that one special moment that we deeply shared. That made my life go beyond despair. You gave my life hope when there was none. You made my life's race a little easier to run. Thank you for all that you have given me. My life was made happier indeed. The time has come for me to say bye. I guess we can give someone else a try. I hope we can still say hi when we meet. I hope perhaps a hug when we greet.

A Dagger to Her Heart

Just like in "A Poison Tree," I have let my anger get the better of me. I would really like to see it happen to her, death from a poisoned tree.

Some form of justice would be gladdening. But a dagger to her heart would be saddening. I could get caught and go to jail. But a poisoned tree would leave me innocent, you see.

A dagger to Girlfriend's heart would bring more pleasure. And the death I might just treasure. Alas, I can't do it, for, I don't have the guts. I sure wish I knew someone with a poisoned tree.

All Alone

All alone she sits in darkness, no one to share her tears with. All alone she contemplates the very tempting myth. All alone she wonders why hatred exists. She thinks often of all those who the Savior, they resist. All alone she sits waiting by the phone for one simple call. She sits waiting by the door, but no one invites her to the mall. All alone she does nothing, whatsoever. All alone, she is lonely forever.

Summer Time, Wonderful Time

Summer time
It’s a wonderful time
Summer time
It’s a wonderful time

Birds are flying
No children crying
Flowers bud with blooms
There are no vacant hotel rooms

Splashing in the water hose
This is not the time of the runny nose
The sun shines bright
Way into the coming night

Everyone is showing their legs
No one is coloring Easter eggs
A number of gardens are growing tall
It’s Summer Time; we’ve got no troubles at all

There’s no school going on
Children, the streets at this time they own
They are the rulers, kings, and queens of the streets,
Until their mothers call them to eat

On the highways, license plates from everywhere
From the windows, you can see the blowing hair
Around and around everything goes
When does it stop, everyone knows
The last week of August the first week in September
Summer is over, let’s take time to reflect and remember

Summer time
It’s a wonderful time
Summer time
It’s a wonderful time.

It's So Hard

It's so hard...
To do what I do
For me to get through
Trying time after time
To free up my mind
To be me in this day and age
That's why I writing this page.

I wish someone would lift me up and turn my heart around.
It's so heavily bound.
I can no longer stand the pain.
I can't stand the rain.

It's so hard...
To do what I do
For me to get through
Just to be me
Just to be C
To please everyone
To get the job done.

I'll just keep trying as I always do.
I'll keep trying to get through,
This whole nasty mess.
This awful unrest.
And when I do the whole world will know.
Because I will be able to go,
And do all the things that I long for.
And live happily forever more.

It's just so hard.

It Was You

It was you that came to my house last night. All that noise caused such an ugly sight. You told everyone all those lies. You made me want to cry. You dogged everyone out. You made everyone doubt.

She Said, "I Love You."

It was such a special moment. Now that I think about it. It seems very scary, that strange event. I was really feeling rotten that day. Lower than low, I must say. I just went over to say a long hi. Then an even shorter goodbye. She looked up at me with those longing, sad eyes. And said, “Yes, I do love you.” I just stood there for awhile. Then my face smiled a wonderful smile. I almost started to cry. Because some elderly lady, who half of the time did not know whether she was coming or going said, “I love you.”

I will never for that day. It is embedded in my memory forever to stay. All because she said, “I love you.” “…Be careful, for some have entertained angels unaware."

I saw a girl standing on the street. No food she has to eat. But yet her body she has sold. While she's laying out in the cold. Every week she waits for the Drugman. Every week he puts them in her hands.

He's the Drugman. He'll make you an offer that to refuse. He'll give you something you can't use. He's real bad news. He'll have you crying the blues. He's the Drugman.

To quote from Men At Large, "Would you like to dance with me?" Is it possible, me you, you me? I wonder if you recall my name? Shall I tell you it once again?

Strangers come and strangers go
None of them I get to know
I just watch as they go by
Occasionally I get to say hi
I’m just riding the wave
Chilling and all
Enjoying life and trying not to fall
By the wayside, into drugs and other stuff
I gotta tell ya it can get ruff
There’s so much negative influence around
It can make a person feel down
I just say a prayer
And keep riding the wave
Being cool and trying to behave
Yep, that’s what I do
Riding the wave -- cool!

All the Questions

I have so many questions and that's the truth. Why call a candy bar Baby Ruth? I have so many questions and I have no anwers.

Why did my forefathers have to say yes mame and no sir? I guess if I keep living, the answers will come clear. But why make an alcoholic beverage and call it beer? I ask others for answers and they know not. Why do we need medicine given as shots? I have read books for miles and miles. But why do people choose not to smile? Why do we have cars and boats? Why are we constantly at each others throats? What are the 1000 Points of Light? Why do all the freaks come out at night? Why do some have a chemical love? Why this creature called the dove? Why is it so meek and mild? Why is the tiger so fiery and wild? Why not have black people and whites the same? Why must we call each other names? Why would you wanna go outside in the rain? Why do we always shift the blame?

These are but a few questions that I ask, Because the truth I wish to unmask. Like why have the colors green and chartreuse? Why do some lie and not tell the truth? Why must one get freaky and go downtown? Why would I wanna go round and round? Why all these songs that really make no sense? And why all my money on them I have spent? Well, I guess when it comes to questions, I have a lot. Like why do we call nose mucus snot? I really have to go because this could go on all night. Why is day, day and night, night?
I'll just keep searching and wait for the event, That will tell me why all this time was spent. Why did I ask all these questions? Why do we have four seasons? Maybe one day in the future the answers will come clear. But for now, why is a deer (dear) called deer (dear)?

Can I Say... (Thank You One Time)

I just want to say thanks the best way I know how. You are probably reading this right about now. Can I say thank you one time? Let me bust a funky rhyme. You made me day much better, When I got your letter. So I sat down and took pad to pen. Can I say thank you once again?

Easter Thoughts

I keep asking myself, what is Easter all about? I know the answer, but there is still doubt. Why all the new dresses with pink bows and new hats? Why the cute little bunnies and the furry little cats? Why all the new suits for sons and dads alike? Why all those colorful ties and matching handkerchiefs on the side? Why hide eggs so little kids can find? Why have a special dinner for the family to dine? Why gather grandmother, grandfather, aunts, and all? Why not have a tree that stands tall? Why not roast a turkey or some other bird? Why not get together and say a special word?

Jesus rose from the grave. Isn't that the real reason?
Jesus rose from the grave. Isn't that why this special season?

Grandmother

Grandma I would like to tell you something I never got the chance to say. Now I might have to wait until judgement day. I waited a little too late, Just a little too late. For now, all I can say is, “I love you.” And that I do. Grandmother

Hallowed Halls

As I walk down these hallowed halls, life seems so calm. Nothing can go wrong, but it is always darkest before the dawn.

As I walk down these hallowed halls, life seems so tragic. People die, people cry, and most things occur like magic.

As I walk down these hallowed halls, life seems to not matter so much. In these hallowed halls, life is filled with a special touch.

The hallowed halls of life are filled with amazing things. These hallowed halls, life they often bring.

Happy To Be Alive

I'm happy to be alive on this very day. I have a cold and a runny nose, But things are still okay.

I have picture after picture hanging on my walls. Although I can't say I know any of them at all. Mom's out of town and my father is too. I called them to say, "How do you do?"

I can not say much more. Why? Because someone is knocking at the door.

So later for now. Check you in awhile. Don't worry be happy. Let me see you smile.

Happy To Be Alive 2

I'm happy to be alive on this very day. I still have a cold and a runny nose, But things are okay.

I got a letter in the mail. When I read it, I think I heard bells. Maybe I didn't, maybe I did? I'm just being myself, a silly kid.

My friend's in another state and some other people too. I can't call all them, but maybe I could I try to.

I can not say much more. Why? No one is knocking at my door. But Johnny Gill is singing his song. It's about to go off, that didn't take long.

So later for now. Check you in awhile. Don't worry be happy. I'm gonna smile.

Happy To Be Alive 3

I'm happy to be alive on this very day. I keep hoping my cold will go away.

I went to church on Sunday. And today is Monday. Pastor preached a sermon of grace. I saw smiles fill the place.

There are a lot of people in places I don't know. Do you know anyone from Idaho?

I can not say much more. Why? I have to pick my clothes up off the floor.

So later for now. Check you in awhile. Don't worry be happy. I think I saw a cat smile.

Happy To Be Alive 4

I'm happy to be alive on this very day. Do I still have a cold or has it gone away?

Today begins Black History Month. In a new year, the second month.

My ancestors sure were great. They conquered many things, that's why we celebrate. Famous folk and stars galore. What does my future have in store?

I can not say much more. Why? Because I'm going to the store.

So later for now. Check you in awhile. Don't worry be happy. Find a reason to smile.

He Became My Friend

He became my friend. And that’s all, all he could be.

It’s nothing more than just a platonic thang. I’m never gonna wear his wedding ring. I’m never gonna be his wife. Never gonna share his life.

My life has changed. Since along he came. There’s nothing more to say. When we go our separate ways.

He became my friend. And that’s all, all he could be.

Better Way

There has got to be a better way to deal with the problems of the world. Take heed every man, woman, boy, and girl! We have got to make some changes quick. The state of the world is making me sick!

What can we do? What is the answer?

There has got to be a better way. God is our only hope, so pray!

Colds

Sneezing, coughing, runny nose, please stop it. I got a cold and you better not touch it. I'm really tired of this sneezing my head off. I'm especially tired of this nagging cough. Tissue after tissue I tear. By the end of the day, the paper will be bare. Sinutab, CoTylenol, and Robitussin too. They ain't even working, what do you do? Chicken Noodle soup and Vegetable soup true. I'm so tired of felling blue.

Can We Try Again?

I know I truly messed up. I'll do my best to make it up. You were a good thing. I want the happiness you bring. I just wanna be with you. There's nothing else I'd rather do. I was just hanging out with the crowd. Thinking I was well endowed.

Doing this, I almost lost you. That would leave me oh, so, blue. I'm sorry. I apologize. I'm sorry, for every tear you cried. Please can we try again. I just want to be your friend.

Chaos is Running Around

Back forth, forth and back...
Chaos is running around, whack. In the kitchen when I'm washing dishes. In the car both near and far. In the dining room eating dinner. Even in church, sits the sinner. In the house, Quiet as a mouse. Not disturbing anyone. Until he begins his fun. He sings a song so sweet. He lies in the bed at our feet. He looks so good and fine. But in the end he'll make you whine. He smiles at you like nothing is going on. But alas when chaos begins, Chaos is the guilty one. I can't get Chaos out of my life. He refuses to leave because I need him, so he says. Chaos is always running around.
