I am just a little sparrow, one lost soul
I am just repented and I just need to be whole;
Lord, Jesus will you save me and redeem my soul;
I am hungry God and I am starving;
I am homeless God I need shelter;
I am improvised Lord, God came you give me a dime;
I am confused Oh, OH can you save my mind;
all I only know;
all I can't control;
but this feeling I have I sure;
you will always provide;
if you will do for the sparrow;
what less would you do for me;
if you will do for the robins;
I know, I know you will, you will ;
you will always provide for;
whether I pray for it or not, you'll provide;
whether I ask for it or not, you'll provide;
and just when I think you've forgotten me;
He will, He does;
My God;
He will always provide;
I'm just a sparrow and I know my God;
He will always provide;

All is calm; all is
Bright on this lovely
Christmas Eve night.
Do you see how
Easily the smiles come?
Feel the warmth that envelops you and
Glows in loved ones' eyes.
Hear the fervent joy
In celebrants' voices as they
Jubilantly sing of the infant
King who lay in a manger so
Long ago, born to redeem
Mankind from sin.
Now let's look at the
Other side of the season:
Platters of tasty food, Dad
Quoting "'Twas the Night . . .," kids
Receiving long-awaited toys
Santa delivered,
Telling funny stories, standing
Under the mistletoe . . . Let's appreciate these
Vivid, memorable scenes
Which will be springs of inspiration in
Xeric times during the coming
Year. Relish every moment.
Zealously embrace this season of smiles.

IF I COULD JUST HOLD ON YOU CAN HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER—JESUS GONNA FIX IT
If I could just hold on, you can hold on a little while longer
If I could just hold on, hold on just a little while long
Therese are diver’s times
In these diverts times
Got chains, I got chains on my mind
My free will is drifting still yet I am bond
I’m shackled to myself, listen to Satan
And it’s my time, my time
To be delivered who would have known or figured
This mess I got myself in
If I could just hold on you can hold on a little while longer
Jesus gonna come, He’s already here, already done
What you want Him to do now
If you just hold on let yourself go now
Be free from mind to your soul
Just hld on, hold on, hold on, and hold on
Times winding up
We need a Savior, (I have a Savior)
We need God, I have a God)
So don’t be impatient, Jesus already fixed it
So don’t be impatient, Jesus already fixed it
If I could just hold on you can hold on a little while longer
If I could just hold on hold on just a little while longer
We need a Savior, (I have a Savior)
We need God, (I have a God)
So don’t be inpatient, Jesus already fixed it hold on

From anthology “Old Time ***** Spirituals”
The Plot thickens
As the wicked, evil one;
Lucifer;
Mankind says it was an apple;
That lead Adam astray;
That lost Eve that day;
but it's ticking. . .
The sounds of the bombs that linger on
Imposing, expelling, I found
doesn't matter what king of fruit it is;
Wasn't an apple
It wasn't bout' the fruit at all;
It was bout' man fall;
His disobedient, led him to faint;
HOW YOU GONNA LOOK GOD IN HID FSCE SND TELL HIM IT"S HIS FAULT
Because of the WO-Man He brought. . .
I believe that this was a blessing first;
Until Lucifer Saw this and cursed...
As a symbol to the lamb;
God made man first but those please understand;
The devil tricked Eve first
The Eve showed man;
and that is how Adam cause the first sin;
It was more than a soldier was;
more than a lamb
more than admiration
more than a plan
The tree of good and evil
No on knew what that means;
IT WAS MORE THAN, MORE THAN AN APPLE TREE
Trust the Father this wasn't ever meant to be;
We're more important that the birds and the leaves in the trees;
Even all the masses of the great seas;
God knew, God knows God choose....
IT WAS MORE THAN, MORE THAN AN APPLE TREE;
It's not about what kind of fruit it is;
It was totally all about man being obedient;
But sad to say, he fell that day
It was more than, more than an apple tree;
Even tho the tree of good and evil;
MY choices, my decision what's that got to do with fruit?
no one knew what this means;
it was more than apples of an apple tree;
IT WAS MORE THAN, MORE THAN AN APPLE TREE;

There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
oh! Lord
There is something out there for me
For those who maybe looking for gold
Your fortune not in those Oh, No, No
What are those children dying for
Caught up in horrific wars
Reason to live, reason to die for
More material things I myself don't want them
Jesus, your my worth my desire
You set my emotions higher
Oh, Lord God your my Lord, my King
My everything all that I need
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
oh! Lord
It's you, your all that I need
You are the something, that something I need
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
There is something out there for me
oh! Lord
It's you, your all that I need
You are the something, that something I need

I share in Christ's suffering;
I care but I am Saved By His blessings ;
If I just hold on to this storm;
Soon it will be a brand new morn;
If I share in his sufferings then later on;
I share in his glory of the calling;
is holding on to the storms;
Over now soon it'll be a brand new mourn;
Don't be sad, don't cry birth, born...
New Day Has Gone
It is now a brand new morn;
The spirit Himself testifies with ours;
That we are God's;
God's children;
If we are his children then;
We are his heirs;
This is the story we share;
In His sufferings in order that we may also share;
In his glory now if I hold onto the storm;
Soon it'll be a brand new morn;

from Anthology " Hallmark Crown Casting "
There is something Inside me,
in my heart of hearts of my mind;
I call hear the calling from God, yes and it's audible;
I have a choice;
my mouth is smeared;
I must listen to my inner voice;
God is calling, calling, calling, calling, He's calling me;
and I can faintly, faintly, just faintly hear Him just under the summer breeze;
My God, My God He's calling
whispering, silently calling me;
And I got a choice to listen to, listen to my inner voice
Something telling me to come here;
I have a choice shall I listen within my inner ear;
if its even then its of God;
if its of peace then its of God
if its comes from the East it's of God
I have a choice
my mouth is smeared;
I must listen to my inner voice, that inner voice that's calling me;
God is calling, calling, calling, calling, He's calling me (be still)
He's calling ever so quietly, whispering, He loves me ever more still;
Calling my name, knows how many hairs there are on my head;
Once again He's talking to me whispering in the still;
Telling me over and over again, that He loves me and;
God is calling calling, calling, calling, calling, calling me He's calling me;
And as I faintly hear Him just above the summer breeze;
I continue to praise and lift His name up I think it's so beautiful
that God whispers the stillness HIs blessings to me;
He's so up lifting, and forgiving;
Mercy and loving, I just enjoy Him;
I always Father listen
Father
to my inner voice
it's you your my choice;
keep talking to me;
I have a choice so I choose my inner voice;
My God is whispering, silently calling, calling restoring me;
this is my choice to trust in my inner voice;
Jesus you are, God you are my
Inner voice
I got a choice to listen to my inner voice

UNEXPECTED FORGIVENESS
"I am a witness to unexpected forgiveness
Passions rising yet I've mastered my craft
For if I shall not forgive you for those wrongs you do
How shall I review forgiving fables I choose the trues"
Oh! Lord My God I confess I am a mess
Passions rising yet I've mastered my craft
I am a witness to unexpected forgiveness
So in Gods unmerited grace that saves me to date
I am a witness to this, the unexpected forgiveness"

From anthology “A LOVE FOR YOU”
i’m going to paint a silly picture
as big and bold as big and bold can be
release the most flamboyant colors feeling free
and o what awesome dreams they’ll conjure
i’ll grab my biggest paintbrush
the one that shapes the biggest strokes
for folks i’ll paint a hundred thousand rainbows
and children’s laughter will overthrow their hush
i’ll pick the brightest hues of cheerful blue
to paint the sky its merriest joyful shade
all birds will want to fly and happily parade
while belting out their songs in praise for you
