Setting on the sofa watching
A little TV
Things not in order
The way they should be
Combing my hair with one hand
And the remote in the other
A bake potato sat on the end table
With a little sour cream and butter
With everything that’s going on in life
Maybe I should be in pain
But tonight my heart smiles
So in life there is no rain

Looking at a photo taking
Many years ago
Feeling the exact same as I did
All those years ago
I have a heart that smile no matter what
I act lady like at times and
On occasions I act like a nut
Even when the sun stops shinning
And trouble stacks in piles
I will continue to reach new heights
Because of the heart that smiles

Even though the storm may rise
And water fills my eyes
It doesn’t stop the rhythm of this
Old heart that smile
Sometimes when you are going through
There’s nothing good you can hear
Place your hand on your chest
And you will feel your heart there
With every beat that you feel it’s
Giving you a message
Saying even though you are going through
A smile the heart expresses

A tender gentle breeze that blows
In the air
A warm fuzzy feeling that explodes everywhere
Boldly it tells us what and who to trust
Some are strong unbreakable and tough
Even in danger, afraid but yet smiles
The heart is remarkable traveling
Between space, time, and miles
This is what I think while setting here tonight
And a deep part of me know that it’s right
The heart is what judges us in life
It’s what God sees through his sight

It can let go of things you never thought
You had
It can make you feel good or condemn
You to feeling bad
Nevertheless; I can conquer the saddest troubles
And make it all worthwhile
Simple because God has given me a heart
That smile

Things go wrong in our life
And we know that they will
We find our self-struggling
Climbing steep hills
When we find our-self low
Reaching for the sky
Afraid to smile
Because we have to sigh

The cares of the world
Pressing us down
The mountain gets
Higher round by round
Life amazes us with all
Its twists and its turns
There’s a higher power
We seems to learn

We try so hard in life
To just stick it out
The burden gets heavy
And we often doubt
Sometimes we often wonder
What is and what ain’t
Not knowing that our victory
Is closer than we think
Faith and failure
Walks hand in hand
The little things in life
We find hard to understand

Trouble seems to find you
No matter where you go
And you find your-self sinking
Much deeper than before
You count the time of rescue
Every second in the hour
And now the day
Seems brighter, Thanks
To a Higher Power
There’s a lesson we must learn
When things turn inside out
Trust in the higher power,
And just stick it out!

Dear God,
I heard so much about you
Until it is burning me in my heart
I want to tell you how I feel, but
I don’t know where to start.
They say that you are the answer
To the way I feel inside
And once I am in you, I will
Have something to be my guide

I picked up the bible that
Had collected dust on the shelf
I decided to read it and find out for myself.
I read about how they nailed your
Precious body to the cross,
And the reason for this; was to
Save that which was lost.
Tears poured from my eyes as
Joy overtook my soul
I found a lot out about you that
I was never told.

I read about Job and
All that he went through
And the three Hebrew boys
That had all faith in you
I just had to write you Jesus
And let you know how I feel
No matter what I am told;
In my heart I believe you are real.
As long as I have your spirit,
I will never be alone
You told me if I hold on,
You would give me a new home.
I am taking you at your word
Because it means a lot to me
The day you died on Calvary,
It was to set me free.

Thank you for bringing me out of the world
And giving me a brand new life
I promise to keep your commandments
And do that which is right

I promise to teach my children
To obey every law
And not let a day go by
Without you being in their thoughts
I have to go now Jesus
And share you with someone else
As much as I want to,
I can’t keep you to myself.
I want to thank you for saving me,
And being my friend
I thank you for your love,
And your grace unto the end.

                              Love Your
                          Precious, Precious Child

He didn’t answer me when
I call him on the phone
Setting in this dark room
Feeling all alone
Images in my head of
Him with someone else
I’m feeling so empty
I can’t help myself

A knock at the door with
Him on the other side
I couldn’t answer him
For the tears in my eyes
When he walked through the
Door, he had a different look
The smell of perfume on his shirt;
For me that’s all it took

My entire life with him
Filled with many lies
When he lifted up his head
I were in for a big surprise
I said not a word but
Went straight to my room
It’s my birthday, and he
Didn’t bring baboons?
I guess it took courage for
Him to give me the news
He said; I never loved you baby,
Surprise! You been used

When you tried to touch me
Wanting to share my love
All the time you lay in my arms
My heart were with another girl
She told me that she loves me
And want to share my life
I am going to marry her
And hold her every night

Don’t act like you hurt,
You knew this all the time
When I came home with lipstick
On my collar smelling like wine
You thought that I love you
And that I even care
How could you think that?
I were never there

When he walked away from
Me, I fell to the floor
He never looked back
As he hurried through the door
For 10 long months I
Screamed and I cried
Knowing I would never get
Over; my whole life fill with
LIES!!!!

I cannot forget you not today or ever
I can’t let go of what held us together
A soft gentle touch on the side of my face
Your hot burning kisses that last for days
A candle light dinner, underneath the stars
Soft gentle hands, oil, and a massage
Trying to let go within myself
But memories of you is all that’s left

Bodies melting together on summer’s night
Burning desires taking me to new heights
Flowers and pictures hanging on the wall
Pride always comes before a great fall
Never not ever got over your death
Memories in my heart is all that’s left

Your face rotating in my mind on repeat
To many nights without enough sleep
Holding on to something I’ll never get back
Your shirts and ties on the table in a stack
Seeing your shadow passing in the night
Quickly floating out of my sight

Wondering about some of the things you said
Hurting, remembering you while crying in bed
When I thought I couldn’t do anything right
Your comfort made everything shine so bright
I will not give you up, no one should dare try
To make me forget or even say goodbye
Everything you were I’ll keep to myself
And realize that of you
Memories is all I have left

When you were growing inside of me
I felt proud to carry a life
I done everything just right
And prayed every night
I prayed that you would be strong
Healthy, cute and brave
I ask God to strengthen you child
For this is how I prayed

When you were sick I watched
Over you day and night
Never for one second were
You ever out of my sight
I rubbed your tiny head and  
Wiped your runny nose
Covered you carefully
To keep you from the cold

I kept you from things I thought
Would hurt you in this world
When you have kids of your own
You will understand a mother’s love
I wanted only the best for you
And you know I still do
I see a lot of me everyday
That’s now created in you

I’ll put you through school
To have a good occupation
Granting it through a great education
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
To see you happy in life
A real good job, a prayer life with God
Not to give up but stand and fight

All these things and more I would give
To you in this wonderful world
But right now child, just accept a mother’s love

Ingredients
  
First you start with the devil
1 cold heart
2 cups of whiskey
4 cups of jealously
5 cups of hate
3 cups of adultery
21 teaspoon of lies
And a lot of backbiting
  
Directions------------------
You take the devil and mix him with the 1 cold heart, then you go around tearing God church apart
You take the 2 cups of whiskey, and mix it with the 21 teaspoon of lies; you then persecute God’s saints, and ignore their humble cries
Mix the 4 cups of jealously with the 5 cups of hate, don’t worry about heaven, you will never enter the gate
Now last but not least; you take the 3 cups of adultery and mix it with a lot of backbiting; you are on your way to hell now; Ain't this exciting?
This is a recipe that I would not use, nor would I sell, and if you use it today, it’s a recipe for going to hell!

One night while watching television
I suddenly fell asleep
And when I open my eyes
This stranger I did meet
A wild looking creature,
Bolder then I had seen
Somebody shake me and
Tell me this is a dream.
  
I did not want to be here,
This is a mistake
Wake me; shake me,
Before it is too late.
The creature began to laugh,
As he laughs so hard;
You are down here to stay
So said the Lord.
  
You had your chance
To live a Christian life
But you didn't count on
Taking this deep sleep tonight.
Listen careful my child,
Don’t you hear the bells?
You missed the streets of gold
And ended up in hell
  
I started to scream and plead to God;
He never heard me as
I stood there in the dark.
People was crying and gritting
Their teeth; my night gown caught on fire
From the intensity of the heat
I yell out with pain saying
Forgive me, this is a mistake
I realize it was the devil when he said;
Take your place I appointed
You in the lake.
  
All while you live,
I stayed ******* your back
You down here with me
And there is no looking back
I showed you things
That drew you from God
Not giving you a chance
To receive him in your heart
Oh foolish one, how foolish could you be
I did not want you in heaven,
But down here with me.
  
You did not have to come here,
Or allow yourself to be fool
I do what I want,
I got nothing to lose.
I know how heaven look,
But I did not care
I want all of God’s people for myself
Maybe you should have loved
God without a doubt
The day I got unruly up there,
He simply put me out.
  
.I got all kind down here
With me, young and old
I am out to **** and
Destroy all of God’s souls.
As I talked with the devil
My heart did ache
My head hung in shame
Because I knew it was too late
I scream loud as I could
To the top of my voice
Suddenly I open my eyes
And grabbed for my heart.
  
I remember everything
I had seen that night
I had no time to waste,
To get my soul right.
I got one more chance
To try to save my soul
I got one more chance
To walk the streets of gold.
  
You may say that this is a poem,
And you are right
But what if you fall asleep
And go there one night?
Do whatever it takes
To live the holy way
Time waits for no one,
It must be today.

There are different types of women
As you may very well know
I am here to talk about her,
And her goodness I will show
A virtuous woman is
And talks of good things,
The joy of her love is strong,
And happiness it will bring
She works with her hands and
Takes good care of her home
She comforts her husband
When he is feeling alone.

She teaches her children and
Trains them very well
There is so much to be said
About a virtuous woman but
Not enough time to tell.
Proverb 18 and 22 said;
Whosoever finds a wife,
Which is a woman,
Find a good thing and obtain
Favor in the Lord;
They will remain together
Till death do them part.

A virtuous woman is not
Slothful in business
And serving the Lord
Doing wrong will not be
Found in her mind,
Or even in her heart.
Her husband trust her
Every step of the way,
He will never let her go
No matter what you say.

She dresses accordingly
To make her husband proud
She speaks with a gentle
Voice, not very loud.
She is always doing things to
Get her husband praise, sometimes
Just watching her
Will keep him so amazed.

A virtuous woman is strong
And worth more than
Rubies itself; and when
Her family hurt, she
Hurt more herself.
A woman shall be praised
If she is a woman that
Fear the Lord. A virtuous woman
Qualifies with mind, spirit,
Soul, and heart.

Today is a new day and
The sun shines so bright
The smell of roses and
Everything seems right
Oh what a mighty color
Is God’s perfect sun
You should be outside
Having so much fun

Instead your head
Hangs low to the floor
Sad, teary, feeling much
Broken than before
The smile you wear is
Turned upside down
Cheer up, be happy
Stop feeling down

You got so much to live for
In this dark but happy world
Take the time to look around
And simply enjoy the love
You think you are the only one
Going through many things
Cheer up and deal with
The troubles life brings

You will see that the road
Is broader and wide
All the strength you need
You will find inside
Look around you and see
That this is a good day
You can make it
If you only press your way

Turn that frown into a smile
Look up, live, and rest a while
Let everyday be brighter
And bonded together
With peace, and a smile
That will reign forever

This Christmas season will
Bring something new
Memories of an old friend
Kind and loving like you
Another year has gone
And finally come to an end
It’s a long story; of all the
Places we’ve been

It’s wonderful to have
These memories in mind
Just thinking about old times
Remember how the snow
Would fall for days
And the cups of eggnog we
Would always crave?

The fresh smell of pine and
Colored ornaments hanging
From the tree
Brought close friendship
For you and me
Memories are photographs
That will always last
They are of the present
The future and the past

I will always keep these
Memories in my mind
And we will bring them up again
Another year, and another time

May God bless you and
Your family today
Lord let them be blessed
With the words that I say
Lord fill them with joy
And happiness to
Lord let them prosper
In everything they do

Lord let this family know
That they have a friend
Someone that is specials
And will love them till the end
Let them be happy and
Know that you are there
Let them be heal with
This Christmas prayer

Lord let this family be
Filled with so much cheer
And Lord you bless them
Throughout the year

Congratulation with my
Blessing and my love
Who have achieved and accomplish
The first part of your world
You made it through the first grade,
The third, and now twelfth
Congratulation: I know
You are proud of yourself

God made an angel, and
You are special in this world
With parents pushing you
Along with prayers and love
You mastered the best in your field,
Knowing that you can learn it
Congratulations child
Hallelujah! You’ve done it!!

Silence of the night, bring so much fear
He stole; he took, from me what is dear
That creaking old board that’s loose in the hall
The monster that tried to hinder my call
Mama; help me, this isn’t right
Your man in my room creeping in the night
Don’t you care that your baby is being *****
Don’t you care how her world is being shaped?

How can you lay there mama and hear my screams
How can you let this monster in my dreams?
How can your heart say you love me so much
But yet you let this monster fill me with hurt
I’m your little girl; you should keep me in your sight
But you let your monster creep in my room at night

The smell of his breath, and deceit in his mind
You let this monster **** me time after time
I’m afraid mama, can’t you see I’m scared
Please keep this monster out of my bed
I hear you crying in the room next door
How long will you lay there, how much more?

Why let him ruin your little girl’s life
Why let him creep in my bed at night
Every time he touch me I call out your name
You stand outside my door crying won’t do a thang
I cry all the time because I’m filled with fright
Cause your man won’t stop creeping in my room at night

I feel that people don’t listen and
They really fail to hear
How my depression goes deep
And how it opens my deepest fear
My mind tends to play games and
Nothing seems the same
To open up about my feelings
I feel so ashamed
I am this worthless person
Not able to pick myself up
I feel I am not worth it
And life really *****
Depressed in the morning,
Depressed all day long
Depression is my middle name
So I want to be left alone
When I look in the mirror
I hate what I see
I wish I could fade away
It’s a tough journey every day

I am just an old frame and
A broken down old shadow
Why am I stuck in this body
And why life doesn’t matter
Tears became my breakfast
And pills is always my lunch
I feel like I’m in a boxing ring
Knocked down with every punch
I don’t know how to make it
And I fail to simply get through
I’m only sure there is no joy
No matter what I do
Others may understand and
Find a way to cope
From where I stand in life
I can’t find and see no hope
Maybe if I'm lucky
My life will bring a change
And if I'm only dreaming
Depression will always
Be my name

Drugs is the number one killer
Of our young people today
It’s abusing and destroying them
In a sad and hurting way
We act like we don’t care
Turning away our head
We are finding our young
People strung out and dead

Looking and talking about
It, just won’t do it
We need to band together to
Help them get through it
Call a meeting and tell
Them about drugs
Show them some consideration
But most of all our love

We can do our best
To offer our affections
Put our arms around them
And offer our protection
They are looking for a way
To take back their life
Crying, fearful, fill with fright
Our young people are reaching
And trying to find hope
But we need to tell them
That poison is dope

We need to steer them in
The right direction
Building a bond
With love and affection
If this doesn’t scare you
Then tell me what will?
Drugs is on the streets
And we better wise up
So our young people can LIVE!

Every time he sees her
His heart skips a beat
Just the thought of her
Makes him tremble
In his speech
Gracefully she walks
Slowly across the floor
His heart is telling him
There could be so much more

At night he dreams of her
Deeply in his sleep
This is the only way
They can secretly meet
The morning that he rise
Wiping tears from his eyes
Knowing this is forbidden love
And the truth remains inside

He knows this love is wrong
And it could never be
How he fell in love with her
His eyes could never see
He wonders in his mind
How did this passion manifest
His love is in the wrong place;
Oh what a mess!

He tries to fight this passion
Even though it’s not right
But still she creeps in his dreams
When he falls asleep at night
This passion over powered him
Completely took control
Where he go from here;
I guess he only knows

Many times before this
Feeling he tried to fight
How can he live with the fact
That she is not his wife?
She belong to someone else
But do she feel the same?
I hope he understands
That this is not a game
How this turns out
I guess he only knows
Passion has trapped him
And completely took control

I was walking down the
Street one day
When I felt it in my heart
This feeling deep in my soul
I knew it must be God
A new path had come to life
And set before my eyes
Tears ran down my face
Because of how I felt inside

I could see my old life
But it was in the past
I felt something in my spirit
I didn't know I had
God was reaching out to me
Because I am his child
When I thought on his goodness
I couldn’t help but smile

I finally found something
That changed my whole life
My worrying days are over
Now everything seems right
God reached out to me
Saying child take my hand
All the things you
Wanted to know
You now understand

I learned a lesson, that
Changes are made
The price for my soul
Jesus died and paid
I am no longer the
Person I use to be
Thank God almighty
I'm finally set free

The world was in chaos
Dripping down in sin
I must destroy this world
This world must end
Prepare me a body
I will redeem man
I will take his sins upon me
And help him understand

This is my only son
I send down to the world
To redeem man of his sin
And show him how to love
I will supply riches
According to man need
This is my beloved son
In whom I am well pleased

I am God, I am love
I created man
And my son will
Redeem the world
To die is to gain
And the victory is sought
My son came into this world
And his own received him not

I gave all that I had
Because I love man
I created this world, and
I brought forth this land
I am God, I am love
I am the greatest
Throughout this world

By my stripes, you are heal
Through the blood of my son
This world shall live
I gave to you my only son
And now on earth
His work is done.

When I need a shoulder to cry on
God is the perfect man
He knows how to comfort me
He truly understands.
When I reach the end of the road
And the valley I cannot see
God gives me clear sight;
He always walks with me.

He points me in the direction
That I should and ought to be
He lifts my spirits when I'm down,
He always encourage me
Sometimes life takes us down a
Road that we can’t understand
God is there to guide us
He is the perfect man.

God gives strength to the weak,
And a light to find your path
God is the perfect man
He always understands.
He rocks me to sleep at night
When I had a bad day
God is the perfect man
What else can I say?

He heal the sick
And raise the dead
He always did just what he said.
There is none other like
Him; he rules this land
You will never find another;
Because; God is the perfect man!

In life, we tend to make excuses
For all the things we did
And blame our childhood
It started when we were kids
What about being raised on the right
Track in church since the age of 2
How do you explain why you are
Doing, or do the things you do
God gives us choices and he
Knows the aftermath
But we use God’s grace as an excuse
To choose the wrong path

God understands that loneliness
Works best for me
I have random love partners not
Thinking of death or STD
God understands that I drink to
Pull away from reality’s hell
Not once thinking about the
Organs that will fail
God understands my need for
Someone to hold me at night
Do you think he will send a woman
Or man you constantly have to fight

God understands us all
He made both me and you
He wants us to know
That he understands
Every situation and problem
We go through
Have you ever thought what
Would happen if you fell short
Of God’s grace and glory one day
Have you ever thought what would
Happen if God turns a deaf
Ear when you pray

A thought you don’t want to answer
Or really want to know
Show a little gratitude to the man
That caught you when you
Felt like letting go
Make wiser choices
And do what’s right
Don’t be that worrisome person
That only calls when they
Want something at night

We all have a manual, (the Bible)
On how to have a smoother life and
Constant protection by God’s hand
So read the guideline and get more
Pride about yourself, and stop excusing
Your habits with well----------
God understands.

You have a great loss that
Seems to bring you down
I am sorry it hurt so much
And I couldn’t be around
I know that he loved you
No matter what the cost
It’s been a long ride
And I am sorry for your loss

He took a great part with him
The morning he slipped away
Joy will return to your life
This I always pray
When you fall asleep at night
His visions fill your head
And tears flow silently
As you lay there in your bed

It’s a sad time for you as
You think on this great loss
Remember Jesus feels your pain
The day he paid the cost
I know you feel empty
Like there is no tomorrow
I will help you bear your pain
And help you share your sorrow

Tomorrow is a new day
It shines bright as the stars above
Remember the joy he gave you
And never forget his love
Jesus love will always cover you
Like a winter’s frost
Take care my dear friend
And I'm sorry for your loss

Just to hear the word
Make me shake in my soul
It’s no picnic there
I am often told.
It is a lake that burn with
Brimstone and fire
If God say it is there
Then you know it’s not a lie.
  
Just imagine being in that offer
Place they call hell
There is no time out
They won’t even ring the bell.
Fire is going to burn you
So what can you do?
If there is water there
I bet you; it is hot too.
  
There is no cool side
From one place to the other
I wouldn't wish this on
None of my brothers
They say you will hear screams
And people crying for help
I am afraid to go there
I only speak for myself.
Hell is a place that we should
Try to escape
It’s not up for review, nor up
For debate.
Hell is a place you cannot
Talk your way through
Whether you believe this
It’s strictly up to you.

Lying in this little room
Tied down to this bed
Men walking round in white coats
While insanity in my head
Laughing, talking, hanging
Out with my friends
Led down a lonesome road
Where I could see no end

One little taste, I
Swear that’s all I took
Now I’m lying in this little room
Strung out and hooked
I am dreaming of a life
I wish I almost had
But I’m lying in this little room
With my heart feeling sad

My friends are all gone
Nowhere to be found
They led me on a wild ride
And then they let me down
I’m in this little place
So cold, and dark
I can’t feel my body
I can’t feel my heart

I took a final vow
And took a new oath
No more little rooms
Or men in white coats
One night of happiness
For only a short time
Restraints holding me down
While I slowly lose my mind
My life now for everyone
Has become an open book
Lying in this little room
Strung out and hooked

I dreamed that you were sick
And I hope you feel better
I pray you be healed
When you read my letter
Friendship like yours;
I do not see every day
You are my best friend
There is nothing else to say.

I want us to stay close
As close as we can be
When I am around you
I can always be me.
In my life you lift me
When ever I am down
Oh how things change
And suddenly turn around

You are my best friend,
Your presence I do miss
Please get well my friend
It hurt me to see you sick

Life must go on no
Matter what Is real
There must be an answer
To the way that I feel
How do I stop the pain,
That burn deep in my soul
How can I be complete,
How can I be whole ?

No one ever told me that
Love could make me sad
And I did not know that
It could hurt so bad.
When I see him with someone
Else tears began to flow
Does he see how bad I hurt,
Is it possible for him to know?

It should be me that
He kisses every night
Am I wrong to feel this way,
Or could I be right?
I feel like I am stranded
Outside in the rain
How can I get over him,
How do I stop the pain?
So many sleepless nights,
And I hate getting out of bed,
I will always be with you;
That’s what he said.

Pain makes you feel like
You are already dead,
It makes you feel like
Rocks in your head
Can it be this serious,
Or is it just a game
Will I ever know;
How do I stop the pain?

I am gave you sunshine,
I am gave you spring,
I am that I am who
Gave you everything.
I am gave you flowers
And planted every tree,
I am delivered Moses
Across the red sea.

I am was crucified
And hung on the cross,
I am gave his life to
Save that which was lost.
I am is the one and
With me you will win,
I am delivered Daniel
From the lion's den.

I am healed the sick
And did raise the dead,
I am always did
Just what I said.
Who is this man, a
Meek and humble lamb,
Remember he told Moses,
I am that I am.

I didn't bring a flower mother
So I hope its alright
I didn't bring you candy
To eat in bed tonight
I brought something special
That you can always see
Guess what mother?
I brought ME!

One day I was hungry
And my family was too
So much of stress,
I didn't know what to do
I sat and wondered what
My next meal would be
No apples or oranges
To fall from the tree
  
I went to my neighbors
And ask for bread
Only enough for our self;
That’s what they said
The look on my children face;
I just couldn't forget it
The store manager said;
No money no credit
  
By now I was tired
And my eyes fill with tears
I have to feed my family,
But no one would give.
My children crying for food,
And I didn't know what to do
If only I knew some way
To help me pull through.
  
On my way home
I passed this church
I heard good singing
That I like very much
The doors of the church
I fasten my eyes
I walked slowly through
The door, on the inside
  
The preacher walked down
And took my hand
He said; you going through,
But God understand
The message was clear
As the bible on my shelf
I needed the faith
To believe for myself.


I prayed and I waited,
Setting quiet as a mouse
Mid-day the next day,
God sent an Angel to my house
A knock on the door,
I open with a smile
Please come in and sat a while.
  
He said; I tried to call you,
I did my best
To bring to you
this very last check
When you got fired from your job
They fail to give you your last pay
This is what brought me
To your house today.
  
It clicked in my head
What the preacher had said;
God understands, and he sent me bread
Tears ran down my face
As I walked up my stairs
It’s a miracle; God do answer prayers
He has saved me
From the trouble in my life
And for that I will
Sleep well tonight.

I woke up this morning with my life in so much despair
I couldn't find my joy and my peace wasn't anywhere
So many things happening and going on in this world
It keeps me on my knees praying to my father above
Hatred on the rise, strange thing happening everywhere
You see things in life that you never seen before
Things that was long hid coming from behind closed doors
It makes me afraid because I don’t know what I’ll face next
I don’t know what’s coming my way or what to even expect

I don’t know what tomorrow may suddenly bring
Will it be sunshine or could it be a great change
I consider it a blessing just to see another day
Happiness fills my soul when sunshine comes my way
I wonder many times about the dreams in my head
Are they trying to tell me something, or am I misled
What is the answer to what’s going on in this world?
What happen to the joy, what happen to the love
I try to be uplifted in spirit wherever I may go
Will I ever find strength; Lord I just want to know

Maybe there is a reason why life is so tough
Why the hill is hard to climb and the mountains so rough
This is a pressing way just in life to survive
It’s a struggle to lay down at night and the next day to rise
I know where I come from but not where I am going
Life is always a lesson that’s too hard to learn
I can’t live the future by holding onto my past
I can’t shed tears without expecting to laugh
I don’t know if the life I live is only a test
Even I fail sometimes when I try to do my best
Since I don’t know much about these things
And the future is further than my eyes can see
Taking one day at a time will always be enough for me.

If God can forgive me
Then why can’t you
If God say you are beautiful
Because you are mine
Why can’t you encourage
Me some of the time
If God has compassion
Deep for me in his heart
Would it hurt you to be like him?
Not selfish but smart

If God can take my tears
And turn them into joy
Why must you dream
Of things to destroy
If God made this world
And put us in it
There is no respect of person
Because God children are many

If God made the sea
And the ocean so wide
The least you can do is
Get rid of your pride
If God heal the sick and
Surly raised the dead
What about the five
Thousand souls he fed

I am your sister or
Maybe even your brother
Put aside hatred and
Let’s love one another
If God did all these things
He did it for a reason
That we are to win souls
No matter what the season

If God can look at me
And not see race
Why you judge me when
You look in my face
If God can see who I am
When he look in my eyes
Why can’t you except what
God made me inside

God can do all these things
Because he is God
But what’s your excuse for
Your mean and cold heart
God is an example of how
We should live on earth
This is why he came, and
The reason for his birth

If we can be like God, as far
As our souls is able
We can laugh about our troubles
Around the welcome table
Knowing that through our trial
And every single stone
Patient brought forth joy and
We should do no wrong.

You say you love the Lord
And want him in your life
You say you need a true friend
To comfort you at night
You said the Lord saved you and
Fill you with the Holy Ghost
You never stop lying
Running from coast to coast
Stop pretending you are doing
Right if it's not in your heart
Stop saying you are holy
When you don’t love the Lord
  
You go to church on Sunday
Because it is a tradition
Serving the Lord everyday
Is always the main issue
It seems to be in your mind
And not in your heart
You are playing your script just right:
Down to the very last part
  
When you stand before the Lord
On that great getting up day
If you didn't live your life right
What do you think he will say?
Do what the Lord ask you
Right down to the very last part
Stop living church in your mind;
And start living it in your heart.

I love Jesus do you love him too,
Do you put him first in everything
You do?
If he knock at your door would you
let him in,
or would you turn your back on him
stand in a corner and grin?
Think of all the wonderful things that
you can have with the Lord,
And before you leave Church today make
room for him in your heart.

When you came to me
The Angels did shout
I put a block on the enemy,
And to hurt you I wouldn't allow
I took you under my arms to
Shield and protect you from harm
And all the comfort you needed,
You could find it in my arms
I wiped away your tears all
The nights you sat and cried
I gently took my finger and
Dried your weeping eyes.

I listen to all your problems and
Had compassion in my heart
And now you turn your back
To me, pulling me apart.
I’m calling all backsliders
To come back home
I don’t care what you did;
I forgive you for your wrong

I’m calling all backsliders
To come back and live
All my riches and
Love I have to give
I watched over you,
And refuse to let you go
My spirit followed you,
And this you failed to know.
I’ll be your shelter and
Never leave you alone,
I’m calling all backsliders to
Turn around and come back home.

Broken in life we
Search for a path
And hope that our
Life will always last
But like all  things
Life can often mend
So during this holiday season
I am glad we are friends!

I awaken from my sleep one morning
In search of poor old me
Where have I gone?
Where shall I be?
I walked over to the mirror and
I couldn't believe my eyes
There stood a selfish woman
With unspeakable pride

I went in the living room and
Jealously walked out of the kitchen
Something is terribly wrong; because
Hate was washing the dishes
I went in the bathroom
I just knew I was in the tub
I raised the shower curtain and
Stupid was making suds

I said excuse me Mr., Stupid
I am in search of me
I have been looking and looking
But where I am, I cannot see
He said did you look in the closet
You are sure to find you there
Among all the clothes, the glare,
And the heart that just don’t care

I know I am in here somewhere
But where can I be?
So much stuff in the way
My eyes find it hard to see
Somewhere in the den I saw
Crazy hanging from the wall
And envy danced a jig
Walking down the hall
Judging sat on the sofa
Making a phone call
While peace breaker laugh
And had himself a ball

My head hung in shame
No wonder I am lost
Backbiting sat in the corner
Eating cinnamon apple sauce
Oh my God! No wonder
My search is in vain
No wonder I am hid and
Can’t find a thing

I started out this morning
In search of me
Never thought I would find
So much junk to see
Now that I know what
It takes to clear the air
Seven days a week in
My life will be PRAYER!!!!

Sometimes you think in life
That the end beats the beginning
And you look for your life
To have that fairy tale ending
You look at other people and
Say; you got success and
Tears fall down because your
Life seems like a mess

You fought many battles
But the war lies ahead
You should control your life
But your life controls you instead
Recording of negative thoughts
Play over and over in your head
When you should be sleeping
You toss and turn in your bed

If someone would care about
How you feel inside
The pain it brings when all
They have to offer is lies
There’s this numb feeling when
You find yourself alone
The hurt twist your head
And your joy somehow has gone

You take a deep breath and
And try to count to seven
As you push through the anger
Trying hard to reach heaven
Just one little word you try
Hard to whisper in prayer
If God would only answer
You know that he’s there

Struggling in this life to
Do that which is good
What you know is best and
What you thought you could
No one ever told you that
This life would be fair
No one ever told you that
The world would care

Now it’s your time to
Build high upon faith
Believing you is somebody
With the keys to the gate
Which is your life that you
Fight to keep straight
Built upon love and a
Long way from hate
Think about this the next time
You feel sorry for yourself
Life becomes dusty when
You leave it on the shelf.

In the beginning; God created
The heaven and the earth
He said let us make man
And he loved him so much
God made the garden
And let man live there
He gave him a wife
To show that he care

In the beginning; God
Call the light day,
And the dark night
He breathe into a man
And gave him life
God made two great lights
One rule by day,
And one by night
He smile at his creation
For this is good in his sight

In the beginning; with
His work, he was please
Adam took a wife, and
He named her Eve
Eve bared two sons
And they were brothers
One became raged
And killed the other

In the beginning; God
Made this world
He formed it with his hand
With so much love
To redeem us from sin
His son he did give;
Because of the beginning;
Through Christ we yet live!

Butterflies in my stomach
Joy in my eyes
This crazy feeling in my heart
Burning me inside
No appetite to eat
Trembling in my hands
A joyful sensation even
I don’t understand

My heart beat fast when
He walks through the door
My eyes tends to light up
Brighter than before
Just the mention of his name
Takes me higher than drugs
I can’t explain this feeling
But I think I’m in love

Day dreaming of him
All the day long
Setting in my easy chair
Talking on the phone
Looking out the window
While setting in my room
Wasting all my money
On expensive perfume

Driving around in my car
Hoping to see his face
Just the sight of him
Gives me energy for days
The more I fight to
Let this feeling go
I find myself sinking
Much deeper than before
I’m wrapped around his fingers
And trapped in his world
This feeling is telling me;
I think I’m in love!!!!

I sat patiently for you
To walk through the door
My heart beat faster than
It ever did before
I know you understand
You read all the signs
Just be gentle with me
Because it’s my first time

When I look in your eyes
I feel something new
And all I want in my heart
Is to spend time with you
Tonight I will know what
It feels to be love
And from now on I
Will be your only girl

Please be patient with me and
Everything will be fine
Before you began the process
Remember; it’s my first time
I am nervous, shaking,
Sweating in my hand
I am scared;
I never been with a man

I keep walking back and forth
Trying to hide my tears
Because what take place tonight
Somehow will be real

I need you to comfort me
I don’t want any regrets
And what happens tonight
I don’t want to forget

I want to remember that;
The man I share tonight with
Will always be mine
Please be patient with me
It’s my first time

I got something to say to you
And I hope you Understand
I hope to get the message through
To interrupt your plan
You walk around with your nose
In the air looking down on me
You walk around conceited
Thinking you is better than me

Your hopes and your dreams
Are no better than mine
You need to hear the truth
And from where I stand its time
You wear red rose lip stick
Finest perfume money can buy
Everything you stand for
Isn't anything but a lie

You say God answer your prayers
Because you know how to pray
You know how to move God
With the correct words to say
To me my sister; it sounds
Like you got a lot of issues
This whole statement about God
You got the wrong picture
There is no respect of person
In God’s sight or in his mind
He loves all his children
All the same, and all the time

You think the world revolves
Around how you want it to be
And the self-centered person you are
You can’t and will not see
It’s all about God, and
What he wants us to do
It’s not about long prayers
And it’s not about you

You think that your riches
Makes you special in this world
It’s not worth a dime
If you don’t have God’s love
Your gold necklace
And diamond ring
Will not score brownie
Points with God
And your high heel shoes
Is not worth
Anything with a
Conceited concrete heart

I thought it was time
To set the record straight
You can’t get through to God
When your heart is fill with hate
So think about this; and
What it takes to be true
Today you get the lecture
And remember its
Not about you

Who carried you for nine months
Through heartaches and pain?
Who sheltered you,
And gave you a name
Who rubbed your tummy
And dried your little eyes
Who said baby it’s alright,
Every time you cried?

It was me; it was me all along,
It was me that stayed there with
You when everyone else were gone.
I did all I could and
Gave you as much as I had,
It was me which God gave,
Strong arms to last.

It was me that whispered to God,
To heal your body and strengthen
Your mind, it was me that cried
Out for you each and every time.
With God help it was me that
Clothed you and kept food on the table,
It was me that did this
As far as I was able.

It’s still me, and I will be
There until the end,
I am not only your mom,
But also your friend.
May be you didn’t have name brand
Clothes growing up through your
Life, but I know I taught you well,
And I know I raised you right.

Now you are a man,
And I can shout it loud
I can shout it from the roof top,
Because your mother are proud.
Remember my son, and never fail to see,
That in your life it was always me.

To win this race I
Need strength and power
I need the hand of Jesus
Every minute in the hour
I need his loving touch
To start me on my way
I am thankful for his son
As I honor him today
  
Holiness he desire to
Live it in my life
To always remember, to
Do that which is right
To fight to win this race
As I travel through this land
To speak of his goodness
To every woman and man
  
Never forget to bow down
Humble yourself to pray
Jesus is the answer
He’s the only way
He is my savior
My joy, my friend
He holds the future
The beginning and the end
He is your peace
In time of sorrow
He holds today
He is tomorrow
  
Jesus is the answer
He’s yours, he’s mine
He will not delay
You can reach him
Any Time
The life that we live
Take it day by day
Jesus is the answer
He’s the only way

Laughter is good medicine
That somehow heals I’m told
It lifts, it mends, broken
And torn souls
Laughter is the beauty
That comes from within
It has no measures
It has no end

Laughter lifts the mind from
Things that weigh you down
It conquers any situation
To bring you back around
So laugh in the morning
Night, noon, and day
Let laughter mend your soul
Let laughter have its way

Let this be the time of year
We try to love each other
Let this be a time to have
Forgiveness for our brother
Let’s put our heads together
And come up with a plan
Something that will bring
Peace throughout the land
Let us stand up and say
We love this country
Bring peace for everyone
We’re dying by the hundreds

Let this be a time that
Someone stand up and agree
That our country is the
Country of the free
Call on congress or
To the senate write a letter
Let them know that this
Time we will pull together

Let this be a time to stand
Up with dignity and pride
Let the world know we
Got freedom in our eyes
We can accomplish whatever
We set out to be
Let this be a time we
Stand together and AGREE!!!

I walked life highway
A long time ago
Reaching for the window,
Walking through the door
On my journey through life
I met a strong man
None have I seen before
Traveling through the land.

On my way through life
I met Mr. Pain
He changed my whole life;
It would never be the same.

In the middle part of my life
I found Mrs. Good,
She taught me the
Better part of life;
She did what she could.
Mr. Failure was waiting,
For me to slip and fall,
He left me with nothing,
He took it all.

I found myself crying
As I stood in the rain,
Smiling at me on my way down,
Stood Mr. Pain.
Life’s highway took me
Down a dark piece of land
When I thought
I could not make it;
I saw this strong man

He said failure will take it all,
And leave you with pain;
Good overcome it
And wash away the rain.
At the end of life highway
I could plainly see,
That the strong person by my side;
Was always me.

Lord I have sinned, and done many things wrong
I lay before you as dirt, on the floor of my home
I spoke bad words, and lied every now and then
I been down for so long, I feel this is the end.
I never been to jail, but yet I am not free
Tell me Lord, why would you want me?
  
Lord I feel that I am not worthy to be call your child
I get so mean sometimes, it hurt me to smile
While you are looking down Lord, tell me what you see,
And why would you want an old sinner like me?
  
The Lord replied;
  
I made you in my own image,
I made you to be a man
I made you to rule over beast,
and throughout the land.
I sent my son Jesus down to die on the cross
To save an old sinner like you that was lost.
Come to me, and let me give you rest
Let me clean those filthy rags, and
Make you at your best
I don’t care who you are, or what you now see
By the blood of Jesus, you are now set free.
When I look down I see an Angel to be
And you ask; Lord why do you want me?
  
I am your father, and you are my child
Let me help you, and give you a new smile.
There is eternal life, and everlasting peace
In heaven you rejoice, are happy and free.
My child you are strong, and no longer weak,
You now have the answer you so faithfully seek.

Love is like a little blossom
Unfolding by the hour
Mixed with warmth, secret desire
And awesome burning power
A little bit tingled with
Butterflies in your stomach
Heart beating fast
Something is definitely forming

Eyes glossed with a color that’s
Very seldom seen
Makes a man feel like a king
And a woman feels like a queen  
Love is like the fragrance of
The best perfume money can buy
It conquers the hardest heart
And never says good bye

Love is like the glue that
Holds together a letter
It mends, it holds, it
Really doesn’t matter  
It sticks to the inside and
Can’t be pulled apart
It’s not in the mind but
Sealed deep in the heart
Love is the healing that
Most of us needs
Without love on our side
How many relationships
Rarely ever succeeds?

I hope this Christmas find you
As happy as can be
I pray your life is filled with blessings
As you receive best wishes from me
I hope that this day will bring
You closer in love
And may you feel the Christmas spirit
As it spread throughout the world
May your friends and family see
How special you really are
And may you get your wishes as you
Wish upon a star
I hope that you feel the love I
Share with you in my heart
True friendship is one that can
Never be torn apart
You are a special person and
To this I am a witness
From my heart now and always
I wish you a Merry Christmas

There’s something in
The morning air
Love and friendship
Is everywhere
People smiling, and
Shaking hands
Singing and dancing
Throughout the land

The scent of roses
Fill my nose
Chills and goose bumps
From the cold
The smell of coffee
Lingers there
Pancakes and Waffles
In the morning air

Prayers and blessing
Hanging near
The morning tulip
Bright and fair
Rain and sleet
Falling down
While Ice and snow
Covers the ground
Children playing
Here and there
Bringing Morning love
To fill the air
