Whenever troubles come my way. I turn to God and begin to pray. There is nothing he can't do. And he always has come through. With God I'll never lose the fight. Because he always makes things right.

The Man Who Held His World In His Hands
Maybe love is forever Or at least long enough Maybe devotion is definite Or will at least last a lifetime Maybe you can have everything in the palm of your hand Because I once saw a man With his world in his hands Every Sunday at 8:30 am sharp The golden hour of the morning When the sun is warming Not yet burning When the day...

My Breath
My Breath Each time I inhale, I feel God's touch even in sorrow. I know I'm not an angel, But in spirit, God gave me a halo. I don't need fancy words to pray — Just the depth of breath I take. He listens in silence, Even when I break. Storms at sea, drowning the fire in me, Yet in my breath...

If life was a book
If life was a book, Then I would have never picked it up. I would have never kept reading. I would’ve burnt the book the second I had the chance. It’s like a book you know gets bad, but you can’t help but read on. It’s a book, it’s meant to be read. It’s life, it has to be lived. If life...
