Joy Comes In the Morning

Joy comes in the morning
After a long night
Things seem so much better
When we see the light
We worry we fret
Our stress is so high
While all along
Our Savior is nigh
He knows our thoughts
before we ask
And your situation
To Him is no task
He has the answer
Just wait and see
And if you wait in Faith
He'll bring Victory
So my dear friend
Just heed my warning
God's in control and
Joy comes in the morning

Speak His Name

We are often burdened till our faith becomes undone
So torn between what's right and wrong and our last song has been sung
Days of endless stress, not knowing what to do
For we've run out of answers
Theirs no answers coming through

Just speak the name that's above all names and everything will change
He take what you can't handle and your life he'll rearrange 
When your burdens overcome you and your backs against the wall
When you speak the name of Jesus, you'll overcome it all

Speak his name....Oh speak his name
Savior of the World, Every day the same
Speak his name, Speak his name
Don't turn and walk away form him, for you'll never be the same Speak his name

Little is much when God is in it, so don't feel so trodden down
I'm here to speak a word to you, soon you'll step on higher ground
For in his name there's victory, and Victory shall be mine
And I am counting you in, He's calling come and dine
On the riches of his Glory, let him hold you close
So that you can feel his power, and his Holy Ghost

He is coming sooner...Oh sooner than you think
Faster than the speed of light , faster than a wink...
Friend, you  know where you stand you have so much to gain
And in the end, you'll just begin, so right now, just speak his name

A Fond Memory

I have a fond memory
Of a house back a lane
Oh how I wish 
I could visit again

The three who were there
Were so special to me
And each time I'd visit
My heart filled with glee

The setting was country
But oh it was grand
And I loved setting on the swing
Surveying the land

Love filled each room
God's spirit was there
And besides hospitality
You were shown such love and such care

Their were three at one time
Then two and then one
And finally all of them
Made their journey home

I miss them so
But I know that someday
In Heaven I'll see them
Together again

A Tribute To: Elvin * Ralph * and Dora Lykens

The Music of Life

The music of life sings within
If you listen close you may hear
Sounds that you've never  encountered 
Sounds from afar and near
Music is just what you make it
its often the sound nature makes
Sometimes if you need encouraged
it will show you the road you should take
We all must listen to the music
For its a language we all understand
It spreads all over the world
To unite us and strengthen our land

I'M Always Here

Come sit with me a while
Share a thought or just a smile
Tell me all about your day
We can pass the time away
We can laugh or even cry
It's our time just you and I
I will listen I will care
Any time you want to share
Bring your heart and I'll bring mine
Let's talk about it, I've got time
It's not over by any means
The bigger picture you've yet to see
So when you need me I'll be near
Friend anytime I'm always here

We'Ll See You Again

It's hard to think
this has happened
and I can't believe he is gone
But I know one thing for certain
my dad has made it home
he's gone where he will never see
another teardrop fall
But I know that
I'll see dad again
and it won't be very long
Oh and dad
I'll soon be there
standing by your side
you're there in gloryland
where are you now reside
in heavens beautiful city
that's been prepared by the lamb
dad you won't have to wait too long
for your family will join you at home
and we'll see you again
although I know
that he's in heaven
still I miss him
Right here at home
for you see
I loved him so
and my heart is yearning
to be where he has gone
but where he is
he will never say goodbye
that's why I know
I'll see dad again
whensies this splits
those Eastern Skies
This poem/song was written in memory of my late father who went on to be with the Lord April 3rd 1995 if you have a loved one in heaven may the words of this poem/song encourage your heart

My Longing Heart

I know that I
Have failed the Lord
And for that
I'm so ashamed
And only in my troubled times
Would I call upon his name

But God said
If you'll only speak to me
When trouble your way comes
Then you can rest assured my child
I'll surely send you some

I know I need
To spend more time
Down on my knees in prayer
For he said when
You call on me
I'll surely meet you there
Lord forgive me
Of my past
And the wrongful things I've done
I long so
Just to make things right
Between you and your son

For I know
That we're not promised
We will see The Morning Sun
And I don't want
To leave this world
Having left some things undone

Father make me worthy
To stand and tell the world
That I'm a god believer
And I believe His Word

He's coming in an hour
That we don't even know
And our souls will be
Required of us
O be ready friend to go

Eternity last forever
and 10 million years from now
my friend you will be somewhere
so why don't you humbly bow

To the God of heaven
he's waiting now on you
just ask Him for forgiveness
that's all you have to do

Then when it said and done
and he returns someday
he'll take you home to heaven
and there forever stay

This Is My Day

In these troubled times we live in
it's not easy just getting through
Often We find ourselves in turmoil
wondering just what we're going to do
but through the labor and all of the trials
if we'll just told to his faithful hand
You can believe he's going to be there
Bringing the victory as only he can
this is my day
this is my hour
and I'm gonna receive
unspeakable power
I'm gonna receive just what is mine
It's coming on in
and it's right on time
so hear me when I say
this is my day
when God says Gabriel
get your trumpet
it's almost time to play
I'm getting ready to call my children
and bring them home to stay
You talk about a grand homecoming
I'll be there forever to stay
praising God and shouting
hallelujah this is my day

The Nature of All Things

I love to go strolling
Through the deep woods
And see all that nature unfolds
Hearing the sounds
And seeing the sights
Are marvelous just to behold
The sparrow reminds me
that God always sees
Each one that may fall from it's nest
And each little creature
Seen or unseen
God tenderly each day invests
The spider that intricately
Weaves out his web
And the robin who
Sings his sweet song
Are just among many
A spectacular thing
I witness as I walk along
In the beginning
When God made it all
He smiled when he heard nature sing
Now you and I can enjoy the created
And that is
The nature of all things

Rose of Sharon

He is the rose of Sharon
The brightest morning star
No one else compares to him
No matter near or far
His fragrance is so sweet
He's like the morning dew
And he can be the sweetest rose
And bloom in your heart too
Oh come, taste and see
That that the Lord is good
He'll lighten all your heavy load
Just like he said he would
Let the rose of Sharon
Come live in you today
And let his Holy Spirit
Fill you every day
