Time and Place

There was never a time
 or ever a place
When I wasn't effected
 with just a smile on her face,
Or when I was warmed
 by her loving embrace.
With her I feel God 
 and His eternal Grace
Like fruit from the vine-
 how sweet is the taste,
When finding the love of your life-
 then such is the case,
I finally got hold of a dream
 the was worth all the chase..
And, the memories we've made
 you could never erase,
For each day we grow stronger
 no matter the space.

So I guess here is the place 
 & now is the time,
To quit all my insanity
 & for once make up my mind ,
To grab hold this chance
 or get left behind.
See, this girl; she's one in a million,
 & she calls herself mine
Now my worlds looking up
 & I'm ready to climb,
But one slip of the foot
& I'm back in a bind-
Loosin' this treasure
 it took a lifetime to find!
Now, you can't place her value,
 cuz she's one of a kind
Just the thought of her love,
 & my eyes start to shine...
But, on the day when I must step from this place,
 cuz the Lord says it's time
To that small patch of dirt,
 where they'll lay me in pine.
I'll have only one wish,
 then be suited just fine
Lord please grant the years of our love,
 to live in rewind!

Salvation

You don't have to wonder
  or think that its strange 
Fore time will continue to move
  so the seasons must change
First the of the nights
  then the change of the leaves
'Till we're caught in the life 
  from the webs that we weave
Not being a man who will fuss
  we tend to let things roll
Until we get stuck in a spiral 
  & things are out of control 
It's really undescribable
  how it all happened so fast
Watching all of my dreams
  become a thing of the past
It began by attacking my joy
  slowly dimming my light
'Till it had stolen my resolve
  & the will left to fight
Having lost so completely 
  thinking I must be to blame
I was ready to cash in my chips
 & check out of the game
Then you crossed my path
  & took hold of my heart
Putting an end to the misery 
So " true lovin" could start
Now where this road leads 
  there's no way to tell
But, I know you are my salvation 
  that saved me from hell
And the amazing way you love me
  that's just conformation 
That I finally get my shot
  toward the dream I've been chasin

Emotion

An emotion hits me
causin' me to feel somethin'  strange
I hit my~ knees & ask  The Lord
to please  help me change
From this distant stranger
back to the man I once knew.
" God I'm sick of livin' like this
please tell me ~ What must I do?
I'll do anything You ask, 
if only ~ You'll take the pain away
Softly wipe the tears from my eyes
& help  keep my emotions at bay
Cuz the darkness  I'm in~
just won't allow me to see
Stealin' all emotion from my life~
it's bringin' out the worst in me
So, please ~ bring back your light
& see me out of this phase.
Back to the land of the living
Feelin' the sun & it's beautiful rays
Cause I'm so close to the edge
literally ~ bout to pull back the curtain
If I'm not saved now ~ there's no comin' back
of this much, I'm certain
I beg for the strength to fight sin
& the lure of it's powerful potion
Bringin' peace back to my world
& put to rest all the emotion

Monster

I sometimes wonder, am
I the only one to see
That there's a monster who lives
on the inside of me?
One who tends to only grow
stronger with the passing of years
steadily setting a course 
straight towards my fears
He wants for nothing
but destruction & pain
Constantly tearing apart
everything that I gain
So such is my fate
to end up alone
Trapped in a mind
that's too far gone
It's slowly detereating 
like infected with cancer
How do I kill him?
Do you know the answer?
Please don't think it's funny
like I'm telling a joke
Cause I'm caught in a war
and loosing all hope.

Lord; these thoughts that
I harbor-cant be on my own
and no way to turn back
For the chances I've blown
Here I am,again
I'm caught in a rut
and the losses I've took
Are a shot to the gut
so maybe its time
To face the man in the mirror
put this monster to sleep 
and see things more clearly
Forget pointing fingers,and
the one who's to blame
pick myself from the rut
and wash off the shame
stop looking to others 
I must stand on my feet
and repent of this battle
I dare not repeat!
I'll never learn nuttin'
if unable to grow
cause we fill our own plate
with the seed that we sow
so if you truly desire
a family & home
Then let go of this Monster
and stand on your own

Back To Good

How can we ever fully
  count the cost
When your life-long goals
  seems t'have been lost
Can really be the person we
  know that we should
Or change our coarse &
  get back to good
They say Jr. you just 
  have to make up your mind
But how? When it looks my chances
  have been left behind
In so, where do you find a smile
  to put on your face?
When the truth is on the inside it
  feels I've fallen from Grace
Lord will I ever be able to find
  my way back home
Or stay stuck in this place where
 hope is dead and gone
Wouldn't it be easier to just turn
  back the hands of time
Or maybe cause a train to 
  stop on a dime
Should I just quit & throw up
  my hands
Or cry out to Jesus & finially 
  take a stand
Learning that if I fall to 
  get back up again
And that if I pray without
  cease the devil can never win
Reach out to God knowing He'll
 take me by the hand
Then show me how to live &
  finally be a man!

Dinosaur

Dinosaur
I heard the ole man talkin-
so like usual - I stopped to listen
He was all worked up 'bout simple things
like family, a home, even huntin' & fishin'
Sick & tired of livin' this " New Age"
feelin' like things just move too fast
That cane poles & ol dirt roads
were quickly becomin' a thing of the past
After a moment he said " I sure miss the ol' days 
back when I was just a boy... "
When neighbors -they knew each other
 & the people - they felt genuine joy.
Joy passed through the generations 
of pure - good ole country livin;
Where Christmas was more 'bout one another 
than gifts you'd been given
At supper - families would all sit-
& daddy she'd be the one to pray
Asking " Lord forgive us of our sins
& bless this ole dirt where we stay"
Then daybreak , people were up - n - at  - em 
ready to take on their tasks
Never shying from a chore - you see -
they were cut from a cloth that would last


But you're talkin' 'bout a time when - 
respect - that was a must
And men only said things once -
never stand there & fuss
See - those men - America
was built off their shoulders
Always providin' for family- for country- 
they were honorable soldiers!

Then a smile touched his eyes & he said
" I sure could use some ol front porch sittin'
with just my woman- the kids - & the dog"
Damn- wouldn't that be fittin'?
Cuz the way this life is headin'
I just don't think I fit anymore
Like maybe - my time has come & gone
just like the damned ol' Dinosaur

Thank You Fahter

As I close my eyes,
 & I start to pray:
Lord with all of my heart
 I just wanna say;
"That I love & thank You Father~
  for the abundance of good,
that You brought to my life,
 just as You promised You would...
Though I'm completely unworthy,
 & without naming a price,
Still You gave to me freely,
 & never thought twice...
The reason for such Grace ~
 I may never understand
But it's supplied me the strength
 to finally make me a stand.
To turn loose of the darkness,
 & forever cling to the light
And though there's times that I'll stuggle,
 at least I'll put up a fight...
I know that I said it before......
  but still ; I must  say it again :
That I love You & I thank You Father
 In Jesus name.... Amen"  ! ! !

That's Just Me

Was living just fine
doing the most.
Got caught at my crime,
now I'm doing jost.
I'm back to the cell ,
& alone in my thoughts.
No way to make bail,
no matter the cost.
Cuz parole got a hold,
I'm here to stay.
Lord knows I've been told,
still I'm living this way.
Can't tell me nuttin,
I'm living to fast.
Every corner I'm cuttin',
with my foot on the gas.
Need to find new road,
then change my life.
Learn to do as I'm told.
Maybe become Barney Fife.
When I get to that point,
everything will be sweet.
I can pull on my joint,
with no shoes on my feet.
Still holding my hand,
is miss Kyrie Nicole.
It's me she can't stand,
or so I've been told.
It's just the way things are,
Cuz I make her sick.
Like when you play a guitar,
you must use a pick.
Still she's my girl,
& always will be.
I'd gladly give her the world,
because I'm her Dad-dy.

Love of My Life

I believe I finally found,
the love of my life.
If she even give me one chance,
I'd gladly make her my wife.
Then live out my days,
with her by my side.
Leavin' our mark on this Earth,
just like Bonnie & Clyde.
In the way that we love,
you might call us sick.
But could I make it without her ?
And my answer is quick....
I don't think that I could,
nor will I ever.
Imagine a world lived without her,
cuz she's what I tresure.
And she will always be,
for as long as I live...
You see ~ I promised her forever,
And thats just what I'll give.
The redemtion she's brought~
you just can't imagine.
Completly restorin' my heart~
through true love & compassion.
Now for once in my life ~
I think I'm finially able to see:
That I'm not all alone ,
tryin' to paddle my way up stream.
She's truly altered my course,
yeah ~ that's just what she's done...
whether we dance in the rain,
or walk in the sun
Now I'm on a new path~
without the sorrow & pain.
And for the times that I've failed~
 you'll never hear me complain.
though I'll openly confess~
some of 'em cut like a knife...
But in the end they only help me,
find the true Love of My life.

A Gift Such As Her

Without her-there's no 
 tellin' where I'd be
I'd be tossed by waves &
 forever lost at sea
Self-destructive & barely 
 clinging to life
My spirits turned ugly
 full of envy & strife
Not knowing direction or the 
 purpose of my course
The highway to hell- my
 throttle full force
 That light within me-gone-
  with my heart turned black
From all the betrayal & scars 
 across my back
I'd still be looking for love-
 slowly loosing hope
From the drugs to depression
 there's no one to help me cope
No reason to care, my life
 had become a blur
Then God showed Amazing Grace
 with a gift such as her
Now she's tied to my soul & 
 runs thicker than any blood
Washing me clean, like the Lord
 did with the flood
Healing all wounds of my past
 enabling me to rise above
We strengthen each other & soar
 like the wings of a dove
Proving that love is power, covering
 a multitude of sin
So where I thought I was broken. I
 was really able to bend
No doubt you saved me- Kyrie
 this I know for sure
Bringing beauty back to life & feeling 
 God's Grace- for me- once more
