Truth

in
3 years 8 weeks ago

Down in a bottomless pit
with no one around
the only happiness here
is a harden frown

Through the endless despair
my heart sets forth
The one who cares enough
will meet me there

He lifts me up
with his powerful hand
as I thirst for truth
he'll fill my cup

Eyes

in

Eyes, a see all tell all
to the past, to the future
but most of all, now
Eyes...

They hide, they revile
Anything and everything inside
Look deep and you shall find
Everything you need to know
Eyes...

Gaze into love, truth or a lie
Seek and you just might find
The way it should be
and the way it could more»

Be Ready as Drought Is for Rain

in
3 years 15 weeks ago

You can be ready as drought is for rain

But if you never pursue your dreams it’s all in vain

A life better for our children we have dreamed

So we provided the building blocks for a team

We wanted to help them make it through school

We taught each one of them the Golden Rule

When they leave for a life on their own more»

Are You Talking to Me?

Are you talking to me?

Am I the only one who can see?

Is it what you want of me, can I find my way?

My family is first followed by your church

I ask for wisdom and guidance at work. more»

A Godly man was called to visit our Church.

We had spoken with him several times in our Pastoral search.

We saw in him something fresh and new.

Was God calling him to share with us too?

We met and we agreed we all would like to proceed.

We feel God is calling this man to fill our needs.

We have asked that God’s will be done. more»

Cutting thru the Snow

in
3 years 16 weeks ago

The plow blade cut thru the snow

Showing us the only way to go

His lights were growing dim

Still we could see to follow him

We strained hard to keep him in sight.

First left then right he sliced thru the night

Here we are now lost in the snow.

With still many miles to go.

No longer can see him from here more»
