BRING YOUR SIN
Bring your sin and the ugliness within
It’s all we bring: our part of the equation
But He quickens us to Christ
This Desire of every nation
The ingredients found in the preparation
Is the recipe for God’s vindication
It’s more than a metaphor
It’s an intimate union prepared by the Lord
And as we doubt and fall, sinking as did Peter
Let us

GOSPEL SHIP
From Seas to air
No worries just courage
Destination Heaven to arrive
Set sail
Without fail
Far from the shores
Beyond the seas
Horizon through the skies
Ship of blessings
Chosen to descend
Waves of the skies
Direct angle aligned
Calm thoughts
Welcomed mind
Peaceful spirit
Honor in merit
Reservation granted
Beauty within the wonder
Heaven arrived
Dropped anchor
Welcomed by the Heavenly Angels
You made it in song
Gospel Ship

Missed By The Visitation Of The Lord
The sign of Jesus coming
Is like a woman's labor pain
The pain is interval in nature
Like every hour is in pain
Then in every thirty minutes
Then pain in every five minutes
Then it's time to go to hospital
To deliver the new born baby
It's like in the time of Noah
God reveal His plan to him
People live casually, incessantly
What's wrong

How To Be Favored By God
Don't judge,
Be humble,
Be forgiving.
The lofty, abased
The abased, lifted up
Humble heart, justified.
Don't be holy than thou.
He accord with whom humbles.
He's glad with whom have faith.
He who obey the law is blessed.
Respect your heart, mind and soul.
Love your neighbors and yourself.
Give your tithes and offering.
Worship Him in spirit

Jesus touched the leper
Of course most didn't don't
Why should they It wasn't their fault
Yet Jesus healed the leper
With a word or a touch with a smile
Jesus spoke to the demon possessed person
many wouldn’t butJesus with a word or two
chased the demon away and in an

Naive Faith
In the still of dawn, tears fall, heartbroken
Sorrows murmur of the past’s distant dread
Words won’t come and the fear goes unspoken
As my soul seeks, unsure of what’s ahead
My mind wanders to light I can soak in
Knowing my soul will read those things unsaid
Singing grace through the night’s quiet shadows
And tears play in the verses I

All You Thirsty, Come to the Waters
I strive to place God as the be- all and end- all of life
I know He watches over me as a caring father.
When storm clouds rise high in my sky,
I look up to Him for guidance.

The Gospel According to Jacob Hiegentlich
In a bar forgotten by the calendar,
where clocks had no tails
and time knelt with its head bowed,
a man of royal blood ordered a gin,
and Jacob, bartender and poet,
offered him both the gin — and his heart.
There was no light in that place,
but they lit up the dark.
Like a birth beneath the earth,
like two candles flickering
in

I once contemplated Suicide
I once contemplated suicide,
But only if I couldn’t have you by my side,
Reading my eulogy, shedding a few tears is nothing compared to the endless ocean before my eyes, we are given this one life,
Lord will you accept my apology before I do the deed?
Will you embrace me the way I’ve left

Is There Light
Is There Light?
Is there light in the darkness?
Is there hope in the grief?
Is there health in the sickness?
Is there peace in the strife?
Oh! The questions keep coming
With their doubts and their fears.
Can there be a way different
A way that’s way out
An escape from normality
That can banish all doubt?
Try reading the Bible
About Jesus our Lord.
Through his

Those we love
Those we love,
When singing praise to the Lord above,
that our feeling take flight like a white dove.
The joyful songs melts away all anger and fear.
That one can't help not to drop a tear.
Yet in the end the believers find comfort,where there's love.

WAKE UP!!!!
In the echoes of the night the one lonesome sound of a train not knowing where it’s bound
It rolls on past the towns the rivers and the bends around corners unseen
As danger lays in wait anticipating contemplating its next move along the cold steel rails that’s bound for heaven or bound for hell only
