Come To Me
When your life seems to have more
waves than the stormiest of seas
God says, ' Come to Me '
When you feel like you fell off
the tallest mountain top, to never more rise
God says, ' Come to Me '
When you think in your life
you'll never again see the sun shine
God says, ' Come to Me '
God says, ' Come to Me '
believe in my mercy and love
and we will weather all things together
God says, ' Come to me ',then you shall see
after every storm the sun always shines
for every drop of rain a flower will grow
at the bottom of every mountain is a valley of green
God says, ' Come to Me '

THERE'S
SOMEONE
When you got troubles
and you think no one cares
There's someone standing there
When you think you're alone
and you feel no love around
There's someone standing there
When you feel life is all darkness
and the light will never shine again
there's someone standing there
When your in need of a friend
and you think no one wants to listen
There's someone standing there
When you say I'm tired
and I can't go on
There's someone standing there
The someone is the Lord Jesus Christ
just call His name and no matter your struggle
He can and will ease your troubles
There's someone standing there

ADVICE TO A
FRIEND
Life is too short to wonder
about what might have been.
If what, where or even who,
you know what you must do.
Put it all in God's capable hands,
No ifs, whats or what has happened when.
We all live too fast and hard,
with no thoughts of our tomorrows.
We forget to talk to the Boss,
unfortunately to our great loss.
But He is always there anyway,
to help ease our lifelong sorrows.
Listen my friend to this advice,
on where to go and what to do.
Have a talk with our Lord.
He is our strength, shield and sword,
easing all our tears and fears.
Then don't forget to say Thank - You..

THE LORD
SAID
Sometimes, when my soul is raging within
that it mocks a summer thunderstorm
I try to remember, this too shall pass
For my Lord said so
I stop to marvel at the great beauty
even among the darkest clouds
I know the rainbow is soon to appear
For my Lord said so
I know the loudest thunder is quieter than a mouse
the brightest bolt of light, is surely dim compared
To the promise of God's voice & light on the day
of reckoning
For my Lord said so
No matter how deep the rivers may run
or how thick the muddiest of lands
This shall dry and flowers will bloom
For my Lord said so
The darkest of nights shall end
my worse fears shall flee
And peace shall again dwell within
For my Lord said so..

THE
FORGOTTEN ONES
Some people would walk down these halls
in this smelly ole nursing home
and see only old people sitting alone
their best friend is now a bare wall
If only someone would look real close
they would see each soul holds a mystery
each wrinkle a little piece of history
and probably a lot of reasons to boast
If they would reach out towards a wail
stop just to share a smile and hold a hand
realize they have seen changes upon this land
and their mind and bodies are going thru hell
Look into those eyes, see the spark
small frail bodies, precious like a dove
their hearts still beat, overflowing with love
only a little of yourself will lite their dark
So take a walk down this hall
open your heart, forget the smell
listen to what they have to tell
about how once they too walked tall
