All You Thirsty, Come to the WatersI strive to place God as the be- all and end- all of my 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 SuicideI 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 LightIs 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 loveThose 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...

Ash Tree GospelThey buried my name in a saltless grave
and left my voice in the bark of an ash tree.
I was born breathless,
wrapped in the skin of something ancient
not animal, not spirit,
but a memory unfinished.
I remember flames that spoke in riddles,
cracking open the eyes of the sky.
Clouds wept honey and blood,
and the stars refused to answer
why they...

Confronting Shadows
in the spring, when petals praise
within the song of grace who’ll amaze
beneath the silence of a gentle bud
there is a power, power in the blood
in the summer, when stories reveal
hope so sacred, sacred enough to heal
beyond the sun grows a life of wonder
singing exultation in the raging thunder
in the autumn, when leaves begin to weep
there...

David And Goliath
David was advised by his kin
the sling's the thing
if you want to win
tho' small as he was
without fear
he did let fly
and rocked Goliath's world
right between the eyes
before he had time
to come near
or even throw his spear
alone from afar David did fling
and with a single stone's throw
he let go one shot to the head
and brought the...

A New Gospel
Drugstore parking lots these days are far
more crowded than houses of religion!
And with more people suffering legions
of physical and mental problems, are
we justified to ask the question with a chill:
has the modern pill become the new gospill?
