Love For Christ

The love I have for Jesus Christ, 
can not be taken away, 
Because the love I have and hold, 
grows stronger each passing day. 

Though I feel so all alone, 
wishing I were not here, 
I know the Lord is with me, 
he whispers in my ear. 

With all my heart and soul, 
I thank him for all he's done; 
And for giving me the blessed privilege, 
of being his holy son.

Old Rugged Cross

When you think of the wonderful day, 
That Jesus Christ set you free; 
Then you think upon the day, 
That he died on Calvary; 
Thats when you know deep in you'r heart, 
that his love is true; 
And thats exactly the reason, 
Christ died on the cross for you! 
To give you the opertunity, 
to live happy and free; 
Instead of being trapped, 
in sin and misery. 
For the master we serve in Jesus Christ, 
Is a true and loving God; 
And he will guide us safely through, 
the valleys in life we must trod. 
For life is a daily struggle, 
this Jesus Christ knows, 
For he too walked upon this earth, 
was crucified and arose; 
And this promise of eternal life, 
is what we all may share; 
If the old rugged cross, 
in life we decide to bare!

Live For Today

Life is to short to worry, 
about the things we can not change; 
To dwell upon the future, 
and the things that are out of range. 
Life is precious in the sense, 
that we are given the gift of today; 
Let us cherish every moment, 
both in deeds and what we say. 
For tomorrow is not certain, 
and yesterdays already past; 
All we have is today, 
don't let it slip from your grasp. 
With each breath that we take, 
and with each passing hour; 
Lets live our life to the fullest, 
Lets do all that is in our power; 
So that when we've taken our last breath, 
and finally from this world are set free; 
We can look back with no regrets, 
and be truly happy.

You Never Walk Alone

You never walk alone, 
in this life you live; 
You never walk alone 
for God will surely give; 
All the love that you need 
to live a life of peace, 
And the blessings of the 
Lord will surely never cease. 

You never walk alone 
as on through life you trod; 
You never walk alone 
for you are a child of God. 
You are precious to your savior, 
your master and your King, 
And for the love he gives to you 
your heart will surely sing! 

You never walk alone 
even when death is at the door, 
For Christ will surely guide you 
safely to his kingdoms shore; 
And in this kingdom you will dwell 
in the masters care, 
And all the glory that is his 
you will surely share. 

So please remember as you live 
and walk upon this earth; 
You've never walked alone 
even from your day of birth; 
For christ has always been by your side 
taking care of you. 
And if you'll look back over your life 
I'm sure you'll find its true. 
You never walk alone! 
Dedicated to my loving Grandmother Helen M Miller

The Inlaws

When two people say I do, 
they become apart of another family; 
Often times the transitions hard, 
and there is hostility. 

One often finds it hard to accept, 
the in laws for what they are; 
Some can be mean and some seem nice, 
some are just plain bizzare. 

For me that has never been the case, 
I loved mine right from the start; 
My second Mom and Dad are great, 
full of love with generous hearts. 

They always made me truly feel, 
that I was indeed their Son; 
Around them I was always safe, 
and together we always had fun. 

I wouldn't trade my Mom and Dad, 
for money, silver or gold; 
For I have been blessed with two of the best, 
may the truth be told!

The Other Side of the Fence

I have found myself at war, 
deep within my brain; 
Have I totally lost control? 
Is this what it feels like to go insane? 

Have I lost my grip on reality? 
Have I lost all my common sense? 
That I am willing to hurt the ones I love, 
to live on the other side of the fence. 

I suppose the money's always greener, 
and the women are always so fine; 
The pools are always lined with gold, 
and the parties are always so divine. 

But beauty is only skin deep, 
and age catches up to us all; 
Sooner or later the parties will end, 
there always must be a last call. 

Then where will you find yourself standing? 
Left out in the bitter cold? 
For you've wasted your youth on fast living, 
now you find you are alone and old.

Our Nation

Does it really matter what your religion is; 
Or the color of your skin? 
What church you attend on sunday, 
or the neighborhood you live in? 

Is the car you drive really important? 
Does it make the man or woman inside? 
Does any thing in this world truly matter? 
Can you take it to the other side? 

Something is wrong with our nation today, 
we seem to have lost all common sense. 
We no longer stand united, 
we use discrimination as our defense. 

We try to exhault our selves higher, 
then everyone else we see; 
We try to prove we are better inside, 
but our selves we can not deceive. 

Let us put an end to the hatred, 
lets' put discrimination in the past; 
Let us restore our nation to greatness, 
with a greatness that will surely last.

Written to the song welcome to the jungle by Guns and Roses back in the mid 1980s.

Lifes Ending Bell

What if death was just the end 
and there was nothing more, 
Would you still be full of fear, 
when the reaper knocks upon your door? 
What if there was no heaven; 
what if there was no hell? 
Would you still dread the ringing, 
of lifes ending bell? 
For if death is just the end 
and not rather a beginning; 
And there is no prize in death 
but rather lifes only ending; 
And there's nothing more in life, 
for which we may receive, 
Then all our faith is just in vain 
and this I cant believe! 
If a life thats lived for Christ 
is a life lived in vain; 
And there is no glory 
in death that we can claim. 
Then the Christian life we lived 
would be nothing more then a lie, 
Then in death we should be sad, 
many tears we should cry! 
But this is not the case my friend, 
for in death glory we receive, 
Because we love Jesus Christ 
and his promises we believe. 
For I would rather live my life for Christ 
and find out there is no heaven or hell; 
Then live my life for Saten, and find out there is, 
at lifes ending bell.

Love of the Father

Baptize me oh Lord with fire, 
test me to the very core; 
Prove my love for you is true, 
it's you alone whom I adore. 

Chastise me when I sin, 
show me how much you care; 
Protect me when I am in danger, 
help me with the burdens I bare. 

And when Ive taken my last breath, 
with life growing ever dim; 
Please meet me at your holy gates, 
and guide me safely in.
