Don'T Grieve For Me

Don't grieve for me when I am gone
Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down
The truth is I was never here in your perfect world
I never did fit in  your robust life
Your lives were full of the things you desired
You never really knew me or how I was inspired
Don't grieve, don't stand in awe
You say you were there, ready to share
but you never knew that I had fears
or that at night to go to sleep
I had to shed some tears
You say you loved me
But you didn't even know me
Don't grieve for me when I am gone
Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down
Why is it that you never knew of my gifts,
my goodness, of my sorrows, of my pains
Were you looking, did you see
Now the time has come and gone
My presence here was only a loan
My time may be short, it may not be
It will be my delight my loved ones  to see
Since they left me I have been so lonely
Nobody else had such love for  me
Did you know; did you care
Or did you for my mistakes, only stare
Don't grieve for me when I am gone
Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down
For me the fall is an uphill journey
Don't weep for me when you would not wash my feet
When you maintained joy as I greived in defeat
During the seasons of my life
when you passed me on the street
to you I was only a stranger begging for a treat
I am taking the road already traveled
The road of my Father, see.. I shall not be unraveled
Don't grieve for me when I am gone
Don't stand in awe, thinking that I've fallen down
The stranger, that you did not know
the begger that only desired a treat
would have washed your feet
This stranger  could have been 
the one sent to show that we must all
care enough to share another out of dispare

Time To Beat the Devil Down

It's time to beat the devil down.
It seems he is always hanging around.
Wake up feeling good;
take ten minutes, he will show up fast as he could.
You have to get ready,
keeping your righteous heart steady.
Be prayed up and praised up
because you never know
just when he will show up.
Remember to God be the glory
just honor His righteous story.
Born into sin
in a Bethlehem inn.
No place for Him to lay;
only a bed of hay.
He walked among us
trying to show us
that great is the Lord
who sent Him from above.
And great is the Father.
Know that Jesus accepted
his role as no bother, 
but as an example to all
that at His Father's feet we must fall.
When we hear His call
be ready and quick to accept Him,
walk with Him, obey Him.
No time for worry, take away the frown.
Just rise above it because,
It Is Time To Beat The devil down.
Be armed in His Word
Be armed in His Spirit
Be armed with His love
Be armed with His wisdom
keep your righteous heart steady;
come praying and praising.
You have to be ready
fall down on your knees, fall down.
It is time to beat the devil down!!!!!

Morning Conversation With God

I listen in the stillness
As I long to hear your voice.
Can't start my day without you, Lord.
My desire, yes my choice.

As I listen I am careful
Not to miss your call, so sweet.
Over and over I quietly pray
Guide my steps today 
as new challenges I meet.

I know you are near,
Saying "have no fear."
"Trust in me”, 
"Trust and follow me".

I know you are near, 
As you whisper in my ear,
"Today, you will walk with me"
"Today, you will talk to me"
"I am your Savior; your all".
"I am Your King, I won't let you fall". 

I answer "I can hear you"
"And I'll follow your voice".
"Can't go through the day
without you, Lord
"My desire, yes my choice"!!!

Wishing Well, Wishing Well

Wishing well, wishing well
I am under your spell
Wishing well, wishing well
I can never say farewell
You are my steady marquee;
The canopy of my desire
Director of nature’s worldly choir
Positioned to receive wishes and hopes
Of those seeking soon to receive grace
In manifold greatness life endures 
The unforeseen yet, definite race
You give me character and courage 
When others would discourage
Wishing well, wishing well
In me you shine so bright
And give so many amiable insight
You, the glow of determination
You, the hope in many a situation 
A glow of forgiveness
of faith and love, flawless
You are the everlasting, never ending 
Joy of all the hope of our tomorrows
The blessed era of ending sorrows
Wishing well, wishing well
You send no words of farewell
Camped here forever in my soul
Allowing this awesome story to unfold.
Wishing well, wishing well
I am under your spell

The Mountain of Unbelief

The mountain of unbelief hangs around the
believers only to bring unwelcome grief.
Hiding in our safe and solid places,
noticing all of our gloomy and hard faces.
Waiting just to hear us without the faith speak
of all our unaccomplished options and goals; 
of all of the unhappiness around;
Just waiting and peering into our sacred lives
to catch a glimpse of that nasty frown.
The mountain of unbelief can shatter dreams
and change intended success as it brings
to all that feel they should wear a crown,
only the crown of discontent.
Break out of the the mountain of unbelief
Share in the dream, walk inyour faith.
Do not be the one to tolerate
Injustice in yourself.
Do not be the one to accept
bondage of your self.
Make the difference; shake off the 
Mountain of unbelief!!

Look For Me At the Pearly Gates

Look For Me At The Pearly Gates. 

Look for me at the Pearly Gates. 
No need to rush, no need to wait, 
Because for this trip I am securely prepared 
This space for me shall not be impaired, 
It comes with a highly convicting price. 
The price we know just has to be right. 
The price for which there is no cash. 
No bill collecting device, and  
No monitor on the taxing dash. 
For the life I so gallantly did borrow
In this place has no more tomorrows 
Yet, I can stand so bravely alone 
The earthly clock has strokes time out, 
My yesterday’s, yell is only a vague shout. 
Can’t you see me, am I yet standing?
Am I at the gate, or on the landing? 
If you can no longer see me there
Trust me, even more trust God
There’s no need to search anywhere. 
Just look for me at the Pearly Gates 
Just keep on paying your lifetime bill 
Remember though, that it is the Father’s will 
God gives us a lifetime of wakeup calls 
He picks us up from many awkward falls 
At this time with God’s grace, I am ready 
With God’s mercy, I hold my head up high 
My heart and hands are inestimably steady 
When I am no longer in this mundane line 
Wondering how long is the wait, 
Just look for me at the Pearly Gates

A Christian Not Perfect But Forgiven

A-lpha and Omega
C-hrist is the head of my life
H-eaven is my home; I am 
R-edeemed by His blood. He has
I-nstilled me with integrity. My 
S-ins by grace are forgiven. I am
T-hankful for His grace, for
I-n His grace I am made whole
A-ll my needs are met. For 
N-othing is too hard for my God
N-ow faith is the hope that I claim
O-mnipotent and omnipresent is He
T-rusting Him, always is the key

P-erfect in all of His ways
E-verlasting love, shared
R-epentance being available to all
F-ather alone, He is the 
E-ver present God
C-hosen and crowned with glory
T-rinity, three in one; He is the

B-eginning and the end. I shall give 
U-ltimate prayer and praise.
T-rials and tribulations are the tests

F-orgiveness is our reward. We know that
O-nly God is perfect. In 
R-evelations God discloses Himself 
G-od gives abundant provisions
I-mmanuel being God with us from the
V-irgin birth of Christ. He is the
E-vidence of good. I exalt His Holy
N-ame as forever I set  at His feet.

Blessed To Be a Blessing

Sometimes we help ourselves
By helping someone else.
We do not plan our own blessings,
But by opening our hearts to others
God in turn 'opens the doors of heaven'
And allows the flow of blessings
To flow our way each day.
I am thankful for this place,
I am thankful for His grace.
It reminds me to remain in God's word.
For, it is the best that I have heard.
It assures me when I call on Him
I will not receive a message saying
'DO NOT DISTURB'
Remembering, you, are ...
Blessed To Be A Blessing
To someone else.

My Forever Morning

I have been on the battlefield
For my Lord, itinerant on the road 
Christ, for me  has richly ordained 
I proudly make this trip abroad
My flight, like the sea has been calmed 
My trip shall not been delayed
My appointed time has arrived
I no longer shall be deprived
I shall attend daily at Jesus’ feet
I will walk daily where Jesus walks
As I am lifted higher than ever before
I leave a ray of love at your door
From my heart to your hearts  
Each cloud I ride climbs swifter
More anointed than the one before 
To all my beloved, first I say
Love the Lord with all your heart,
With all of your mind;
And with all of your soul.
Praise Him for all of His goodness
For me the time has come not to depart, but to arrive 
My bed is in heaven, my soul has risen 
To the depths of no more earthly mornings
No more heavy burdens, no more sorrows, no more pain.
Good night, my beloved   
My forever morning has arrived
