Thoughts of Heaven

Thoughts of Heaven Sitting in the shadows Alone with my pen My mind escapes the room That I’m sitting in It wonders far and wide Drifting on the wind To the beat of my heart Where it’s never been Far past the Milky Way Past the shining stars To that land in the sky Where streets of gold are Right through those pearly gates To the tree of life Where all things become new Everything is right And sitting on the throne My Jesus will reign A million years and more I'll never be the same Not one...

Just Come See For Yourself

Just Come See For Yourself I would love to write a song That would get the world to see The beauty of my Jesus All His grace and His mercy I have searched the live long day And way up into the night The words they just escape me This would be my best advice Just come and see for yourself Come see the love in His eyes Taste and see the Lord is good He’ll dry all the tears you cry There is joy unspeakable Now His love speaks for itself My friend don’t take my songs word Just come and see for...

Come To Jesus

Come to Jesus Yes, for my past life I have bewept Night dreams have often disturbed my sleep Often times my mind recalls regret Into my heart these torments have crept Of some days, I’m not able to speak My days of youth, squandered in lost years Oh ones of tender age, hear my voice Come listen and save your heart these tears Yes in Christ Jesus all truth appears Chose this day the Lord, it is your choice And to those like me, far down the road He doesn’t just forgive He forgets At His throne,...

The Dogwood

The Dogwood The cardinal loves the white dogwood tree And the royal blue jay, well he does too Viewed from my porch swing they sit now and sing As usual all my thoughts return to you I know you loved the white dogwood as well Although you are gone and have taken wing The dogwood tree is still red, white and blue The faithful birds have stayed and they still sing I don’t know if they came looking for you Or if they came today to comfort me Either way I am grateful for their stay I am grateful for...

Hunger and Thirst

Hunger and Thirst Oh, my God, my Savior I hunger for your love I know I need you Your love is all I want Just let me feel your touch Are you still there? I thirst for you I thirst for you God meet me at the well This dusty road it goes To the throne, to the throne To His open arms, I am loved This dusty road it cries Wait for me, wait for me I’ll be coming home, wait for me Oh, my God, my Savior I hunger for your love I know I need you Your love is all I want Just let me feel your touch Are you...

Banquet In The Sky

Banquet In The Sky Sitting at the banquet table Will be a woman at the well A thief hanging on the cross A prodigal son as well We’ll all sit down together For He loves us all the same There’s just one qualification We must go in Jesus name There’s just one way to Heaven There is no other way We must be born again We must all be saved No matter your status in life For you He bled and died You can join Him at the table If the blood has been applied Joining in at that great feast The blind man...

Life With Jesus

For someone special and for whosoever will Life With Jesus Jesus is with me every hour, every day He is guiding me, leading me, showing the way. Since I decided to believe on his name, Nothing in life has ever been the same. The addictions I suffered are destroyed by his hand My anguish of heart drifted off like fine sand. I live every moment with guidance from above; Every part of my heart is squeezed full of God's love. Once all was too hard and I despaired of all peace, But when I took His...

A Beauteous Dawning Of Morn

A Beauteous Dawning Of Morn (triolet) I began the flight right about daylight It was a beauteous dawning of morn All decked out with silvery wings for flight I began the flight right about daylight With many joining me shining so bright In our robes of white we were all adorned I began the flight right about daylight It was a beauteous dawning of morn Sign in to see full entry.

In Moments Like These

Thought I would return for awhile To see if my words are out of style In Moments Like These The sky is so dark The stars have all hid The clouds are much like A heavy eyelid Silence is golden But for frogs and breeze How the mind wonders In moments like these In the far distance The sound of a train Adds to my sorrow Increases my pain Thoughts of years gone by I fight this disease How the mind wonders In moments like these Porch swing is creaking It’s a lot like me Just tired of swinging Just...

When All The Children Are Home

Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one, May God bless WHEN ALL THE CHILDREN ARE HOME There is a holiday soon coming What a celebration it will be The banquet table is now all set Come dine oh what a wonderful feast Sitting at the head of the table The Son will gladly let it be known When He announces to the Father That all His children are safely home Here we gather with our families Celebrate special times of the year We catch up on all the latest news And we share in the holiday cheer...
