Snowball Sims

Snowball Sims, the most faithful member of the Highland Gardens Baptist Church
A loyal dog going to church for his family to Search

The family goes on vacation from time to time
Snowball making his way to church, the steps to climb

Waiting faithfully till the service was over
Hoping his family, the Sims boys, to discover

The last person leaving, the pastor turned the lights out
Snowball treged home mournfully, waiting to hear their shout

As time passed by, Old  Snowball crossed over the rainbow bridge
Now he faithfully awaits to get a glimpse of little Tommy and Phil Sims coming over the ridge

Word-Up Church

Word-Up Church celebrated its second Anniversary with dinner on the grounds
Oh, what great fellowship in the Lord
Oh, what Great Love that abounds

It can't be explained the tie that binds our hearts in Christian Love
We could all feel His Loving Warmth flowing from above

Such a good time; everyone full of Joy
Thank you, God, for giving us this time to enjoy

When the light of God shines in with His Truth
God continues Blessing us and our youth

God is very Happy today, the Word-Up Church is well on its way 
He will never leave or forsake us
When with Him, we stay

Just bowing our heads and Thanking Him for the Blessings He gives each and every day
Thank You, God, Thank You, God; there are truly no words that can express our love today

We can only give back by sharing the Good News of Your Son Jesus with each other
Constantly Praying for our lost brothers

Ernie the Bee man

Ernie has a unique talent given by God
Looking after some of His remarkable creatures above the sod

The Honey Bee is often overlooked; without them, many things would not be available to cook 

Keeping the bees in good health and from harm
Bringing a great reward to Ernie, never being alarmed

It takes a particular person to do what Ernie does
God entrusts him with His Bees because of his love

Freedom to Worship

We have many wonderful freedoms in this world today
None more important than the Freedom of Worship I must say

Worshiping the creator of our very being
Would be the most important and far-reaching

We should do our very best and pray to God every day
To see that the most valuable freedom does not go away

God works in mysterious ways His Wonders to perform
So that we might continue to worship through any storm

His Hand in Mine

Jesus holding a woman’s hand. Similar Images:
For many years I tried to walk alone
I seemed to stumble over every stone

Then one day, a buddy introduced me to a friend of his
I suddenly realized what real love is

Jesus came into my heart. I took his hand
He now gives me the strength to stand in a new land

No more years of stumbling or groping in the dark for me
His bright light now illuminates the path I see

With His Hand in mine, I will forever have the strength to continue the climb

Heading in the right Direction

Am I headed in the right or wrong direction
The path I take and the decision I make can bring me great protection

The right or wrong path is left up to me
the further I go and what I see
Do things seem to be getting better or worse for me

There is one rudder that will hold my ship steady on this rough sea
Faith in God through His Son Jesus, who died for me
