Every second of every day
God speaks life into this world
That greets you in the here and now
If you take the time to listen.

God creates existence from the future
So to give it to your present
But every time you receive it
It has already become the past.

Do not stay with this past
And with its spectral illusion
Try to overtake the future
And be creator of God’s word.

But man cannot countermand
The eternal will of God
As love’s radiant authority
From which all existence flows

Son of man cast off your past!
For your illusion originates there.
The future speaks with resounding truth
That there we must all be born.

He may decide not to deliver
Me from the lions' den nor
From this fire nor that dagger;
Still will Christ be my Savior.

Though thru the valley and pitfall
Of terror and death walk I in life;
Yet I shall no evil fear at all
Cause Jesus is my assured Staff.

Heaven high shall I not promise thee;
Nevertheless you will experience no hell
For thou shalt suffer at all no necessity.
But touching thy luxury, I never can tell.

So thine is, O lady luscious, my salary all.
And as you like thou mayest it expend
Along with my royalties so dear but small,
And my banker can my account suspend.

Babe, how the similitude of an angel
Thou hast from thy sole to thy crown!
Unblemished art thou in frame, I so can tell,
But can't guess what in thine heart's sown.

Luscious is thine outer body, which can make
A sane fella hellfire choose to gladly go,
When he God's Law doth foolishly break;
Yet I shall fly on cloud nine with thee--no.

On that day
What will you do?
When you meet your Lord
For round two

And you find out
What your thoughts told you
About the Lord
Are not even true

And you will realize
That what you do
In the Lord’s eyes
Cannot be denied
So on that day
What will you do?
When the Lord
Calls upon you?

You see the book
In the air
And wonder,
“Is my name in there?’

Here my word
Prepare for the day
So you don’t have to wonder
And God won’t keep you away

i am christian solder marching to be free
to give away the goodness thats inside of me
i march to give my love to show i really care
if anybody needs me i always will be there.
i march to bring back hope when all the hope has gone.
i am christian soldier so i must go marching on
so onward i must march  till very end
i am a christian soldier and i want to be your friend.

All I have is this.
Just my two hands and my feet.
Everything else is broken, bruised and *****.
Will you still take it all?

My heart is wretched.
It wanders away from you.
My head is warped.
Tangling fantasies and reality.

Nothing about me is dependable.
I am only human.
I can try my hardest to be a saint,
And still fail at being good.

I am tired from weeping in the dark.
Tears that hide the true yearning inside.
All I want is to be loved unconditionally.
Will you love all of who I am?

I hear someone calling.
My ears are shuttered.
Can it be opened? I don’t know.
Still, will you take it all?

Angels above fly high above
Looking down with endless love
They see our pain and strife
Helping us throughout our life
When darkest days our to be seen
On angels wings are where to lean
Many times we forget
Our faith becomes broken and split
Yet still they watch and hold us right
Never letting us relent in our fight
When we are weak they make us strong
When were low they sing their song
We stumble we falter and sometimes fall
But just they’re presence can heal all
With sorrow agony and defeat
They’re voice we hear soft and sweet
So never forget when you are low
To look up and see their glow

I was looking for:
          Forgiveness
          Mercy
          Grace

I found:
          Love
          Hope
          Faith
------------­----------------
I have turned my back
on the life I was.
Made up of lint
and a lot of fuzz.

I have set a direction
to the foot of the Cross.
Keeping the good,
Discarding the dross.

The regrets of the past
No longer control.
I'm free to live and LOVE
without yesterday's toll.

Looking forward in FAITH
not forgetting the past.
Lest I should repeat
The bad I did last.

With HOPE in hand
I am pressing on home,
To finish the race.
I'll never more roam.

I want to know You Lord
from the words in RED
"Forgive me of failures
as I forgive those who fail me."

She was blind and smiling
cruising down the mall,
arm-in-arm together
so she would not fall.

No worries, no concerns
betrayed on her face.
Her life made better
through Love and Grace.

Her Trust in the other
to lead her along
to not let her stumble
as they listened to song.

I listened above
to the music of love
Sing softly to the ear
So pleasant to hear.

I thought of the song
That sings in my heart
I thought of the Master
who tunes my heart
        From above
        Each day.
        With love

This Journey called life
Racked with danger and snare.
Can be filled with Peace
New life, more life to share.

When bleary eyes are opened
and ears allowed to hear
All...  comes into focus
His Presence ever near.

When my vision fails
When my eyes are dim
My trust carries on
Always found in Him.

He takes me by the hand
with love and a song
All is well...
It is well...
As we journey along.

"I was blind
but now I see."
Still cruising...
Arm in arm with Thee.

Shadow of Your face,
upon all Your loving grace,
inspires me to sing
a melody upon dove's wings

To my Lord I see
You through all my vision can reach
and believing through faith's eye is seeing
the presence of Your Holy Being
