The Thief Of Time

    Born into the World and you’re a
Teenager in the blink of an eye
As a teenager you wish to be an adult
You kiss your teenage years goodbye

Then before you know it you realize
You’ve got teenagers of your own
You can’t believe that this is your life
And how quickly they have grown

Then one day you’re in the Hospital
As life is about to really get wild
There’s gonna be an addition to the
Family in the way of a grandchild

Suddenly you’re reminiscing and
Memories flow like the waves of a song
And you realize you’re one of the
Lucky ones to live this long

Still you find yourself looking at your
Life like it’s the scene of a crime
And you’ve called the police to put
Out an APB for The Thief Of Time

Something You Should Know

    People always say that I don’t know
People always turn and walk away
People are lost in the darkness of the
Night even in the light of day

So many people seem to be
Paralyzed by their pain
So many people without an umbrella
Walking aimlessly in the rain

Searching for love and searching for
Answers and searching for peace
Living their lives on their own terms
Until one day they decease

We have the freedom of free will
We have the power of choice
It’s time to turn off the noise and
Listen to the still small voice

No Jesus and there’s no peace
The seed of love will never grow
Know Jesus and know peace
And love is Something You Should Know

The Dawn Phenomenon

    In the grasp of the disease
Glucose is your enemy
The number is to be monitored so
Twice a day you check it dreadfully

Everything we eat causes
Your Sugar level to rise
So it’s shocking in the morning after
Sleeping you wake to your surprise

Before you eat breakfast your number
Is higher than the evening before
How can it be you didn’t snack before bed
You were conscious of the score

It can’t be true it’s gotta be a false read
Yet in fact it’s your new reality
As the body awakens there’s something
That happens to you naturally

If you’re a diabetic it’s like a demon
Planted evil seeds that spawn
And you begin to fear this thing known
As The Dawn Phenomenon

The Dragon In Me

     A darkness once consumed me
But now there’s a light that shines
Free from my chains and cages
And all that confines

When I was lost in the wilderness
For so many wasted years
When my eyes were trying to see
Through the fire of my burning tears

Then I found out the truth and
I knew I was the lost one
I looked for a fallen Angel
When I thought I couldn’t go on

Jesus saved me from the Demons
In the Shadows lying in wait
Took away my fears and the doom
Of my certain fate

Now I spread my wings and fly
His glory is plain to see
I stand before you as I reveal
The Dragon In Me

My Miracle

      Sometimes in the middle of the night
The shadows they run deep
And when I awake from my nightmare
I’m left to just watch you sleep

I’m careful to not disturb you but I
Wonder what you’re dreaming of
As my heart begins to slow in its beating
I’m overwhelmed with love

I can’t believe I have an Angel
And this is truly my reality
I can’t take my eyes off of you
And I thank the Lord for blessing me

As the nightmare fades from my mind
I feel that there’s a reason spiritual
If I could write a song, I could never
Write one correctly lyrical

You just mean so much to me and I
Must take the time panegyrical
Because I’m a man who understands
That you are My Miracle

I dedicate this to my Wife Cindy
I Love You baby My Miracle ❤️❤️❤️

I know It was Jesus

     With each stanza
I’m just gonna add an extra line
Because it’s coming from
This heart of mine
know it was Jesus

When I am alone and it’s just me and
My thoughts, this is when I write
In all of my darkest hours
I was still able to see the light
Know it was Jesus

When ever I was angry and every
Time I just wanted to run and hide
Every time I was sad and depressed
When I had thoughts of suicide
Know it was Jesus

Every time I thought that I was alone
I didn’t know that he was there
When I thought it was just me against
The World and no one could care
Know it was Jesus

He was the one who saved me from
World and from myself
I’ll never take his love for granted
And put it on a shelf
Because I know it was Jesus

FALL

     I was living alone
Just trying to survive
Working my life away
Not sure if I wanted to be alive

I’d cry myself to sleep
After I turned out the light
My dreams were absent of color
They were always in black & white

Each day I’d force myself to carry on
Though I never knew why
Time was always in slow motion
As the world just passed me by

Never knowing God’s plan
Living in a dismal reality
Wishing on the brightest Stars
From a distant galaxy

Then I saw your face
And I heard love call
The Angels were singing
And I knew I was gonna FALL
