Someone Once Said …

Someone once said, Life’s the pits and then you die They seem not to care or to learn the reason why God’s Word tells the reason for sin, aging and sorrow But, why read it now when you can read it tomorrow Someone once said, I don’t believe the Bible is God’s Word It wasn’t written by God but, by…

Open My Eyes

Lord, open my eyes that I may see The purpose of the life you planned for me I know you give strength to carry the load And then walk with me down my road  When I live with pain or sorrow I know it will be better tomorrow For you divided each day by night So I can rest then…

My Mother’s Day

She fed me from her gentle breast and comforted me in her arms of rest and on my cheeks tender kisses pressed.  She rocked me in my cradle bed  and watched adoringly my infant head with tears of love and sweet affection shed.  She gazed into my fearful eyes when pain and sickness made me cry and sometimes wept for…

Whispers Of Love

My love whispers without word or sound, Thoughts only your heart can hear.  My love whispers when our eyes meet,  Or, with a gentle touch, a warm embrace.  My love whispers when we are far apart – The wind carries it to where ever you are.  My love whispers sweet thoughts and memories – So, listen, always listen, for my…

Memories

Memories are the ordinances against us And stand before judgment we must Memory records personal histories The secrets and unsolved mysteries All our works both good and bad Memories we wish we never had Oh, but why did we learn so late Not to make memories we hate The voice that fell on deaf ears Was wisdom all those years…

Gravelords

Death belongs to the grave-lords of the endless night  Who chose their tabernacle of ruin minus light.  Refusing to believe and give Christ the reigns  They now walk in lust-fires tortured in chains.   In the glory of self-hood and worldly charms  They died alone in ego’s arms.

A Cap Or A Crown

What will there be to remember When life has passed December When they dig the hole and put you down Was your life a cap or a crown Where are the signs of mountains climbed Where leads the trail you left behind Did fate cast them into the sea Buried deep the same as thee What will there be to…

Before Time

God’s thinking was Creation Before the beginning of time God must become one of us And enter the world of time God’s thoughts were Grace Before the beginning of time Christ must die for us Or, cancel the beginning of time God’s thoughts were love Before the beginning of time The name of Love was Jesus The beginning and the…

Nature

The mountains kiss the sky and the clouds embrace the mountains; the wind whistles and the hills echo it down to the valleys; streams of clear water chuckle in rhythm; bees humming their tune – the flowers receive them in bloom; the birds sing their love songs; the trees of the forest clap their hands – all nature is harmony;…

Wings Of Night

As darkness settles on wings of night The fireplace warm and burning bright The children nestled under Daddy’s big arms Listening to words of mystical charm Stories from another time Real fantasy in the children’s mind Heroes and villains of long ago Stories of imagery we all know But Daddy’s voice soon fades away His words become whispers never meant…
