The Soul of the Nation

Is our nation alive does it have a Soul within
If we should look, where would we begin

The Nation is composed of many different people, all containing their own 
individual soul
The collective soles of all these people would represent, the soul of the Nation as a whole

As the souls of the mass of the people go
The true soul of the Nation will show

To restore The Soul of This Nation
Changing my Soul will be a direct indication

Percolate 

Do you use the old-fashioned percolator to make your black coffee 
I make it the fast way, In one of those K-cup machines, I’m such a softie

Is that the way the spirit of GOD should be
Slowly spreading HIS Spirit through the entirety of me

To increase the strength of my Faith similar to my coffee
Percolating frequently will build my faith, to the point, that no one can stop me

Resentment 

Resentment is an intense feeling that we shouldn't harbor. 
If we keep it inside very long is will make our hearts even harder 

What is the remedy for such a stressful matter 
Certainly having Love in our heart will make us feel much better

If you have JESUS walking with you and lighting your path
If you focus on him you will avoid much wrath

Inspired by the Bible Fellowship Net topic this morning. What does the Bible say about resentment?

GOD 

GOD is so Very Good to me
The closer I walk the clearer I see

With each step I take HIS Majesty becomes Greater to  me

The LOVE of sending HIS SON JESUS 
to set me Free
Is far beyond my comprehension as it well should be

GODS GREAT LOVE is such a Vast Domaine, on this earth it can never be explained 

Our Faith and Trust are the Greatest Gift We can give to HIM
When we share HIS LOVE with others again and again

Great Things Lie Ahead 

Have you been waiting for a long time 
Are you down to your last dime

Are you discouraged 
And can’t find help

Are you worried about tomorrow 
Not knowing what it might bring

If you have a friend that’s already there
You will start to sing

Things are looking up
Good things will start to pile up 

God says He knows what you need
Just put your trust in Him
And let Him lead

Camping 

Camping seems like a delightful experience to me
The smell of the coffee brewing, and the breeze against my cheek, make me feel free

Making new friends many stories to tell
Makes me joyous inside and our souls feel well

Being in the midst of GODS’ Creation
The birds and the trees
Lifts our Hearts, gives us Joy, and makes it so easy for us to see

If you need a break from your normal routine 
Camping with friends is the Best Remedy I've seen

Music 

All music comes from God. The notes themselves come from His love. 
The beauty of this sound is sent from the Heavenly choir above. 

How man composes these mystical notes, changes the feeling  of the tune. 
The song coming from within his heart, reflects the mood in the afternoon. 

Sweet songs reflect love and affection. 
Dark songs reflect evil and rejection. 

The song with which you choose to listen. 
Will guide your soul in a definite direction. 

The moral of this story is, that you alone choose,  in where to place your musical affection.

The Word 

What is the Word, it's GOD’S instructions for us  
It's found in the Holy Bible, it's clearly a must

It's an operating manual for our daily lives 
He loved us so much that HE sent JESUS to Forgive us

Reading HIS Word often and keeping it in our mind
Will direct us to HIS Purpose that we shall find

The Joy and Peace that will flow from within
When you Bow Down to JESUS and ask HIM in

There’s no way to explain the feeling we feel
We  Praise and Thank GOD HE is so Very  Real

No Secret 

It is no secret how Many Blessings GOD has for You
You don't know when they’re arriving, they show up out of the blue 

The closer you walk with HIM the more Blessings you will receive
They may be Spiritual they may be physical, it's up to you to believe

Oh the Joy and Peace HE Brings within
When you focus on HIS SON JESUS and give your Love to HIM

Swamp Fox 

Francis ”Swamp Fox” Marion
Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion was a ghostly man, 
Confusing  the enemy in many  a nightly stand

Where does this crafty fox go to hide
I’m told his ancestors heard his cry

He was as allusive as the South Carolina Wind
Confusing the enemy to their very witts end

A man of small stature, smarter than a fox
Seemingly to disappear among the mossy rocks

Many a bloody raid he encounters, Killing the enemy
Leaving GOD’S creation unharmed as his legacy

He played a Great Part in Winning the Revolutionary War
He lifted the morale of the Militia to a Great Roar

Many Military Degrees could not win this war
A Sly Swamp Fox from Berkeley County settled the Score
