Pastor

A pastor is sent by God to teach
          This he does, when he does preach
          Not only is he suppose to be
          Someone sent from God to thee

          He must be caring and full of love
          For he is sent from the one above
          To tell us all what we shall need
          To get to heaven to live with thee
  
          Must be one that all can trust
          Always faithful  thats a must
          So look to heaven and you will see
          Lord God Almighty is leading thee!

911-Loss

The tragedy of loss we feel today
          Will never forgotten; may never go away
          Mothers,fathers,sonsand daughters
          Their memories will never faulter
          In our hearts forevermore
          Heaven has surely opened it's door
          Now angels in heaven they shall reign
          Never knowing hurt or knowing pain
          To live with Jesus forevermore
          In heaven where they shall forever soar.

Are You There

Lord are you there ?
          Are you listening?
          I need you by my side,
          I know now that I can not hide.
          Give me strength now to stand,
          Keep a firm hold on my hand.
          I am here now Lord looking for you,
          Help me Lord now to make it thru.
          Are you there Lord?
          Are you listening?
          Can you hear me?
          Save my soul now Lord,
          So someday I can be;
          With you forever in eternity.
          Are you there Lord?
          Are you listening?
          Can you hear me?

God's Son

God's Son                                                       
              

               Did you think of me today?
               In anything you did or say?
               Maybe I never crossed your mind,
               If I did I saw no sign.

               When you awoke to see the sun,
               Or when your work day was done;
               In between the hours that passed,
               Did you think of me at last?

               The one who gave you everything,
               The one who makes the sweet birds sing;
               With the setting of the sun;
               Did you think of me---- God's Only Son?

You Gave

When I was born you put breath in my body
          Gave me avoice so I could speak
          Hands to raise in praise to you
          Feet to walk the narrow way
          Eyes to watch the eastern sky
          All these things you gave to me
          They are mine to keep
          Except my soul-----
          I give back to you 
          Thank you Lord for giving to me
          The greatest gift of life eternally.

Me and Jesus

Walking in the darkness
          So dark I cannot see
          The only thing I'm sure of
          My jesus walks with me.

          To rest on the cool green grass
          Beside the crystal water
          My soul is now being restored 
          By my heavenly father.

          For by the sake of his name
          I'm on the path of rightousness
          Knowing now I'll always be safe
          He lets me know I have been blessed!

          Surely goodness and mercy are mine
          Lord you gave this all to me
          So I can live forevev with you
          Not till the end, but thru eternity.
