The Price

Sometimes when the trials of life,
become too hard to bare ;
I think back to calvary,
and my savior hanging there.

I think of how He must have felt,
while nailed upon the cross ;
Knowing He was innocent ,
but willing to pay the cost .

For sinful man to be redeemed ,
and live in paradise ;
His sins must be forgiven ,
by a SUPREME sacrifice .

Jesus freely gave His life ,
He made our sins His own ;
And on the cross - forgave us ,
Now He sits on heavens throne.

Now the burdens that I carry ,
don't seem so bad to me ;
For I know that I can leave them 
at the foot of calvary .

Precious Gifts

So long ago when I was young,
I had two little boys;
Their hair was blond, their eyes were blue,
they are my pride and joy.

Through the years, I tried my best,
to teach them as they grew;
To stand for right, throughout their life,
and live in faith and truth.

It's hard to be a mother,
as you watch your children grow;
And know you can't protect them,
even though you love them so.

For someday they'll be on their own,
to make their own mistakes;
And though you'd give your life for them,
The choices are theirs to make.

Down every road there's twists and turn,
No one knows what lies ahead;
But you hope that they'll remember ,
the things that you have said.

To me, my boys are treasures,
Precious gifts from up above;
And all my life I'll cherish them,
with unconditional love.
