Where is My God in times of need,
   when sorrows feel the worst?
Where is He when despair hits home,
   when broken hearts so hurt?

Where is He when I've fallen down,
   and stumbled once again?
Where is He when in darkness now,
   I feel I've reached the end?

Where is He when the storms now rage,
   and lightning crashes 'round?
Where is He when the Devil wins,
   and Satan  has me bound?

Where is He when I need Him most,
   those times amassed with fear?
To answer every one of these,
   just look, He's been right there!

Just take the time to look around,
   He's been right by your side;
He'll hold you close to comfort you,
   you'll NEVER be denied!

He's waiting there with arms outstretched,
   He's listening for your call;
It's up to you to turn to Him,
   at any time you fall!

You'll see if resting in His Arms,
   He answers every prayer;
You'll never feel alone again,
   you'll know He's ALWAYS there!!

Through all my life and many years,
   as sin in life I trod;
You bent your knees to pray and beg,
   I'd turn my life to God!

You raised me right and showed the way,
   to God, the narrow path;
Yet as I ran the other way,
   you prayed He'd spare His wrath!

You never judged, but stood by me,
   for all those sin-filled years;
You always showed your love for me,
   yet silently shed tears!

Now as you know, I've given all,
   my life to His control;
I thank My Lord for second chance,
   since once I let Him go.

He's shown me how to live again,
   He's given life anew;
He watched 'ore me and led my way,
   in life He's seen me through!

Those times I know I let you down,
   you never let it show;
It's since you fought SO hard for me,
   the Devil let me go!

Thanks to the prayers you knelt and prayed,
   my Lord has set me free;
And though I ran so hard from God,
   through all, you stood by me!
I wrote this for my to beloved wonderful Christian parents whom have stood by me and prayed so hard for me for so many years as I ran from God.

Oh, we all need a Friend
who will comfort us
unconditional
safe and secure..

Who sees the pain
in our heart
And relates
to despair
Who knows
...and that knowing
is real...

The gaze in His eyes
is not a
glazed over look,
an empty
nodding of the head...

Rather....
a deep well
understanding
your grief, sorrow, pain
your aloneness
and cries of despair...

Seek Him out
everyday
drink deep from His well
no
worthless
impostor
is He..

He's no mind
numbing prozac
stealing  
your
life....

As you're
walking with Him
He's holding your  hand...
Each day
....baby steps
become real...

His reality is
new life
hope
and  breath

Ask
for eyesight
to see
the hope
that He offers
And the price
it is right
it is free....

For everyone who has ever been in the abyss of despair, hopeless, depression...

I'm Homeward bound
  to a beautiful city;
As I leave earth,
  don't grieve or pity!

I'm on my way
  to a better place;
Far from all sin,
  and earth's rat race!

That's just my body,
  there lying in state;
My soul's in Heaven,
What a Glorious Fate!

So don't you cry,
  or mourn no more;
I'm walking now,
  down Heaven's shore!

Where I now live,
  there's nothing bad;
No sorrow or pain,
  not one soul sad!

Let me give a tour
  of the City I roam;
A mansion He built,
  for me to call Home!

Through Pearly gates,
  you'll see my city;
Nothin' on earth,
  even half as pretty!

Just step on in,
  and you'll be sold;
Very moment you see,
  you're walking on gold!

Just over that hilltop,
  by the Crystal Sea;
I live in that Mansion,
  so happy and free!

You'll see no darkness,
  'Ore this beautiful land;
Those Angels singing,
  just one of His bands!

So don't you worry,
  it's by God's grace;
I now reside,
  in this Glorious Place!
I wrote this piece with My Lords help as if it were a loved one, who has gone on before us, looking down from Heaven telling us how beautiful Heaven is, and they actually feel sorry for us still stuck on earth! It is like they are taking us on a short virtual tour through those pearly gates!! Hope you enjoy!

Have you ever stopped to think,
   if tomorrow never comes;
Will your family know you love them,
   when your last day here is done?

Do you fill your life with earthly things,
   or work your life away;
Thinking money, fame or fortune,
   will get you through each day?

There's not one thing up on this earth,
   even those things God has given;
You can take with you upon your walk,
   through those pearly gates of Heaven!

God placed those loved ones in your care,
   He thought you'd do your best;
Have you nurtured, taught and loved them all?
   If not you've failed His test!

Now love, you see, is not a word,
   to be thrown at them each night;
But wrap them up many times each day,
   and forever hold on tight!

When you're angry, mad or hateful,
   thoughts floating in your head;
Don't say those words you're thinking now,
   but go to God instead!

Just show your family often,
   hug and hold them every day-
How much you love each one of them,
   then together kneel and pray!

Just ask My Lord, whose on His throne,
   to guide you from above;
He'll lead you family day by day,
   and fill you with true love!

Then follow God's example,
   and when your laid to rest;
Your love won't be in question,
   then yes, you'll pass His test!
How much do you love your family? How much do you show and express your love to them? Have you placed them in front of all the day to day "humdrum" of life? I hope you enjoy this piece I wrote questioning just this...if today was your last day on earth, will your family know how much you loved them? Think on it...they deserve 110% of us!!

You may not know right here and now,
   just what you really mean;
I hope you know, I still love you,
   though impossible it seems.

I know at times I let you down,
   with broken heart and sad;
I broke the vows I made to you,
   and crushed the dreams we had.

Oh yes, it's gonna take some time,
   to get back down to me;
But with God's help and bit of time,
   I pray you too will see.

He's given me another chance,
   I'll do the best I can;
To hear you say, "Thats him right there,
   oh yes, I love that man!"

I thank you so for standing by,
   not throwing me away;
I promise you I'll do my best,
   to make you proud one day!

I'm working toward the man I was,
   the "Kenny" you first met;
So if you are a gambling gal,
   on me I'd place your bet!

I hear you calling out my name,
   soft whisper in the wind;
I see you here with me right now,
   with strength I can depend!

I feel your body next to me,
   soft kiss of springtime breeze;
I know the love you have for me,
   it brings me to my knees!

I thank My Lord He sent you here,
   a gift from Heaven above;
I just can't tell you what I've found,
   all packaged in your love!

If Webster was to look into,
   what true love really was;
It's best defined with you and me,
   a photo just of us!
