Growing old 

As we grow old, our minds start to wonder a bit
Looking for a more peaceful time, where is it

It may be long ago, it may be very near
Wherever we choose to find it, we will have no fear

No matter what the case, its only God's way of easing our pace
For God knows the best way, to prepare us for the end of the race

Little Fishermen 

Did you ever go fishing with a friend
Only to fish all the day long to no end

You talked very little and watch the turtles 
Gazing at the sky, watching the clouds travel in circles 

Such a relaxing time with no cares or woes 
Feeling the soft wind on our cheeks as it blows

Not a care in the world. Our minds drifting away
As if we were in another land far away

After  hours of fishing, came the end of the day
Only realizing it was time to go home and play

Thank you JESUS 

Thank you JESUS for YOUR Touch
Thank you JESUS I Love you so much

Everyday I trod this old dusty road
Every step closer the lighter the load

Someday when we reach that shore
Our load be be lifted for evermore

No more crying, no more pain
Only love, and the fresh smell of spring rain

Oh Joy Divine, Oh Joy Divine
Thank you JESUS for being Mine

 Rags or Riches

Whether my body lives in rags or riches I do not care
For they are only earthly things that bring despair 

Worth more than riches is the LOVE of Our FATHER Untold 
For only LOVE will Last. It's the only thing through Death we will Hold. 

When our bodies grow old, our eyes grow dim
The Bright LIGHT of Heaven emerges from within

Beholding our Dear Saviour’s Face, we shall see
For Eternity, we have been set free 

Praising HIM Forever and Forever with the LOVE we Hold
Is Our Greatest Gift from GOD, Greater than the Purest Gold

The Majesty of HIS LOVE and GRACE cannot be imagined 
We are only set free of death from GOD’S Loving Compassion

 THE GAME

I like a good game
I don’t know why

I enjoy being on the winning team
So I don’t have to cry

The game of life is like that too
If you win you will feel good all through

There is only one way to win 
That is accept JESUS within

When all of life swirls about you
Your calmness within will suffice you

And HE will be there to rejoice in your strife
And you will win the game of life

HAVE FAITH IN GOD 

I knew a little girl who drowned 
She was only 3
It was a terrible sight to see

Her parents stayed close to her side
Praying that GOD would only abide

Her Grandparents rushed to be near
All the while praying that GOD would hear

The Doctors were in much strife
It would truly take a miracle to save her life

As time went by
A flicker of life was seen in her eye

God reached HIS Hand down
And heard her little cry

I have heard many prayers for you today
It’s not time for you to come and stay

You have many fun years waiting ahead
I will be with you little Raegan He Said

GOD’S LOVE 

GOD’S LOVE is so True
He has much Mercy for Me and You

When we make mistakes along the way
He walks with us showing his LOVE each day 

For those that do not Turn to Him
He will give them Mercy again and again

It is only through repeated  rebellion 
That HIS JUSTICE will prevail 

For it is by their own decision 
That they will spend their Eternity in HELL

MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD 

The birds that sing
The trees that blow

Make a joyful noise unto the lord
If you listen, you will know


The blue sky, The rain that falls
They are praises to HIM from all

The sun that shines, The moon that glows
All come from Heaven where He bestows

So when you sit back and look at nature
Praise HIM Praise HIM every Living Creature
