An Angel Comes

Sometimes in our life an angel comes,
To spend some time with us below.
The time may last but only a short time,
Or it may last a life time filled with love.

Sometimes in life an angel comes
To guide us along when life is rough
And our faith is low. They come
And stay until we are on our way.

Sometimes when life seems all down hill'
An angel comes to clear the way,
To bring the sun on a cloudy day.
God sent you an angel to light your way.

As much joy as she brought to you'
You also gave to her when your lives entwined.
Within you she will always be.
So when your heart is down and sadness is around

Just reach down deep inside and feel
The warmth of her love come shinning through'
For she will always be but a kiss away.
Sometimes in life an Angel comes
To bring to you the comfort of God's love.

He Knew Every Thought

He knew every thoought I had that day.
He knew my heart in every way.
He knew the pain and sadness that had come to stay.


It was the anniversary of our wedding day.
The burdens we carried for those who had passed away.
By noon the word came in, another friend's journey was now comlplete.

l
The test were in another battle to begin.
In the presence of sorrow, many things were said.
I went for a walk just to clear my head.

I needed to calm my heart it was aching so.
I hurt so deep inside;the wods I had said hand hurt him so.
What he had said hurt me to my very soul.


My tears came down like rain that day.
If I could not reach him;what then was to live for?
I was so far from his heart,alone and afraid.


I stood in the cover of a church;there was darkness all around.
The thoughts in my head brought shame to my soul.
From somewhere deep in my soul a thought rang loud and clear.


The thoughts in my head were selfish and mean.
What would they do if I did this thing?
What would they face if I had done this disgrace?


In a moment of weakness,he had kept me strong.
I could have punished them all if I had done this thing.
He knew my every thought right or wrong.


He held me in his arms,sent me my son.
He guided me home where love foound me again.
I thanked God,he knew my every thought that day.


He knew what lied deep in my heart and held me tight.
In his arms he gave me the wisdon to know right from wrong.
I will always remember he knows my every thought.


He holds every heart in the palms of his hands.
No matter what you think,or what you do,
God knows every thought before you do.

Too Young To Be So Old

Too young to be so old,a child of five,
Yet a man so old, a childhood gone.
I hear his pain in his dreams at night.

I feel his fear in the tears upon his cheeks,
When he reaches for the love that isn,t there.
I feel the emptiness in his embrace.

He holds inside a pain so very deep,
A fear so strong no one can reach.
His eyes have seen,his body felt,

More in life that many adults.
How does he face the things that hide inside?
Where does he turn when the tears come down?

Left behind at a tender age to face the questions mommy made,
When she chose to leave him behind and not to hold him tight.
I have heard him say," If I had been better,

Maybe she would have loved me and stayed,"
He watched her beaten,watched her cry.
The choice she made was to pass him by.

He bottles the pain so deep inside,
Many a night I held him tight,
When the darkness came and took his light.

One day he will see just how much it hurts,
When Poppa and I can't fix what hurts inside.
As I look back and recall the tears that came,

When to us the question came," Do we have to go back to her?
There was nothing we could do ,but take them home
We must hold the tears and pain inside.

He was much too young to be so old.

I Saw Jesus Everywhere

When the road was smooth and easy,
When the chips were all in place
When my life was full and happy,
That was when I thanked Jesus, I saw him everywhere.

There was no darkness around to be found.
The warmth of his love was all around.
There was no pain,still he was there,
For I was safe in his loving arms.

I walked with ease,for he was guiding my every step.
I found joy when the sun came up and when it went down.
I saw beautiful colors painted all around.
Again i thanked Jesus,knew he was around.

He showed me life great and small
What a blessing to be around at all.
I have so much to be thankful for
When Jesus knocks on my heart's door.

That is when i see jesus everywhere.

What If Jesus Wasn'T There

What if Jesus wasn't there,what would happen then?
When the road was rocky and long,
When the chips were down all over the ground,
When there was not another soul around

That was when evil stepped in and took the upper hand.
He turned my world upside down.
He brought with him the cold and lonely darkness.
The agony was strong and deep, it made me weep.

I reached for a hand,but nothing was there.
There was no one around to even care.
When I slipped and fell, he laughed in my face.
Jesus was just not in that place.

What if Jesus wasn't there,What would happen then?
What if he grew tired of waiting on me?
Waiting for my heart to see all he had to offer me.
What if he grew tired of protecting me.


What if Jesus wasn't there,where would I be?

Come Take Me Home

Walk with me Jesus as this journey I embark.
Take my hand, please guide me through as this pain won't part.
Lord please carry me as my strength grows weak.

Hold my hand Lord as I walk on my faith alone.
I know only where I am,you know where Igo from here.
I grow tired Lord,my body battle worn and weak.

Stay close to me oh Lord, please light my way?
Guide me oh Lord as I know each day I wake
Now lies solely in your loving arms above.

Take my hand Lord Jesus, please lead me home.
Please guide me down the raod to Heaven's golden gate.
Set my heart at ease,grant me Lord your blessed peace.

Wrap me tight oh Lord in the warmth of your love.
I am reaching oh Lord for your presence from above.
Please send your spirit Lord to guide my way.

In this form oh Lord,I am much too weak to turn the other way.
Please Oh Lord stay close to me come what may.
Please stay with me when tis life goes away.

Please Lord Jesus,come take me  home.

You Died Before I Loved You

Early this morning as i lay still sleeping,
A vision before  me played quite clearly.
I heard these words ring out so clear,

As I saw a child,small and dear
Gently climb upon the statue of a slodier
Who had fallen while away at war.

He wrapped his arms around it's neck.
His tiny tears began to fall down his tiny cheeks.
That was when these words began to fill my heart.

Fallen soldier I climb upon you today,
I do not wish to bring to you disgrace,
You could have been my Father, my Brother, my uncle, my son.

You may have been my Mother,my sister, my aunt,or my daughter.
You may have been my Grandpa,My Grandma, my cousin,my friend.
I climbed upon you just to give to a hug.

I do not mean to bring to you disgrace,
I climbed up here to say I love you anyway,
Although you died before I could love you.

The tears rolled down his face,
You could see the love in his embrace.
When I awoke, my cheeks were wet

From where my tears had fallen while still I slept.
As I write these words that lie deep within my heart,
I could not help but to think and feel just what to me they said.

Just how many out there can feel the hurt within their heart
When they look up and say, "Soldier you died before I loved you
OH! so very far away, But I love you anyway."

Jesus Was There

When the road ahead was rocky and long,
When the chips were down all over the ground
When there was no one else anywhere around,
Jesus was there to hold and carry me on.

When I could not see for the darkness was deep.
When the agony was strong,he carried me on.
When no one could bring comfort to me,
Jesus was there holding my hand.

He brought me light on many a dark night.
He brought me warmth when it was cold outside.
When I slipped and fell on rough and rocky ground
Jesus was there to show me the way.

Jesus was there always waiting on me.
He was waiting for my heart to see,
He was there no matter what life might bring.
Jesus was there guiding me home.

No matter the time night or day 
Or what befell along the way
It didn't matter how alone I felt 
All I needed to do was see with my heart
For through it all Jesus was ther.

Just Inside

When all the things in life you face
Seem to be to much to keep in place.
When your emotions seem to take control
And it seems as though there is no where to go
and all you want to do is curl up and quit,

Just close your eyes and open yoour heart.
Call on Jesus, he is waiting just inside.
He is waiting to walk close by your side.
Waiting to ease you heavy, heavy load.
If you call out his name with an earnest heart,

He will open those doors, and into you life be a part.
He will calm your emotions and put them in place.
He will make space for all that you face.
He will guide your way to Heaven's gates.


all you need to do is pray with your heart,
And all of your sadness will part.
The sun will shine,and evil will depart.
A new day, a new life you soon will start.
For Jesus is waiting, just inside your heart.

It's What We Gained

It's not what we lost amongst the ashes and smoke,
It's what we found in the air all around.
As we watched the smoke out the windows roll'
And all the glass on the ground.

God sent comfort from our neighbors all around.
Though we have many empty wall 
Where different things once hung.
There is apresence around that you can not mistake.

Though deep in our hearts there was heartaches and pain'
And rivers of tears came splashing down upon the ground'
God's presence was all around.

It was as we knelt down upon the floor
To cradle the dogs whom the fire had stoled
That I received my greatest awakening.

For I understood , it really wasn't what we lost,
It was more what he saved and truely what we gained.
For now I know down deep inside'
I Could loose it all and still have everything I will ever need.

As long as he dwells in me, he dwells where ever I am,
As long as he guides my every step and leads me on
My journey through Heaven's Golden Gate
At the end of my lifes days and I sit in his presence for evermore.
