There has to be a better day coming
Through this one ill just keep on humming
Dark clouds above, rain and wind lashing at the house
Soon the storm will pass, and it will be, quiet as a mouse
We've been through this many times with GOD before
A rainbow we shall see, showing GOD'S Love more and more
When dark clouds and storms come into your life
Peacefully persist, knowing soon there will be an end to this strife

Being in the arms of a loved one is the most restful place to be.
I feel so secure and safe knowing they care for me.
Our loved ones only last a short while here on earth.
While we humbly go on living to show our worth
For teaching us about GOD and HIS SON JESUS
HIS eternal Love will never never leave us.
Being safe in the arms of JESUS on earth or in Heaven above.
Is worth far far more than anyone's earthly love.

A Cat four Hurricane is coming around the bend
It doesn't look like it's going to be my friend
Marching across Florida, causing much devastation
Fema is being called, to help with many renovations
We know when they're coming. They can't hide.
Our biggest mistake, what to do, we can never decide
To leave or stay, to board up the windows and hunker down.
We just pray we made the right decision, to stay in town
All the cell phones are charged. The flashlights are ready
Our job now is patiently waiting and staying steady
Don't wait till the storm arrives to pray to GOD Above
He knows what's going to happen but He wants our love.

Of Hurricane Ian
You have to be obsessed with a desire from your heart.
Then preserve and carry it through from the start.
With the completion of this cycle, you can accomplish anything you start.

When you feel down and out. Just keep on keeping on.
When you are discouraged and have doubt, just keep on keeping on
When things look better and you see light at the end of the tunnel, just keep on keeping on
When you are at the top of the mountain, just keep on keeping on
From the start to the very end, just keep on keeping on
That's the way life is planned my friend, just keep on keeping on

When the birds come to life at the beginning of the day
This is the most comfortable time for me to pray
The rhapsody of their singing
starts our day anew
Giving us new hope for what we see and do
So I can sleep safe and secure through each night
Looking forward to the dawn and coming of first light

What would you give a man that has everything
Maybe something with gold and jewels fit for a King
What do you give a King that made everything
Maybe just a song from your heart that you would sing

Who do you see when you look in the mirror
Does the mirror seem foggy, could it be clearer
Is there a person standing there that you know
Does that person seem distant to your soul
How does one make the image crystal clear
Within me, the answer is so very near
A crystal clear image will produce a clear reflection
Only GOD can rid us, of our imperfection

Inspired by Scott Van Tonningen K3VAN, Bible Fellowship Net
What might you be listening for? Is it something that concerns you?
Is it what you have been waiting for to help get you through?
Most often we wait too late to listen, throwing us into a state of confusion.
If we had just taken the time to heed,
we would have avoided this illusion
Much strife and misunderstanding could be readily avoided.
If we would only take time to listen to those that are anointed.
