There was an old story in our family
Don’t know if it’s true or not
Great Grandpa Percy
Used his yard for a Bank
They said where he put it he forgot
Never thought much about it
Till I got down on my luck
Then I prayed to GOD
He would show me the Spot
Religion and Politics are strange
They should be separated
They're not the same
One is of this world
One is of Heaven
Mixing them can never be forgiven
Changing this world
will not come through politics
It will only come through the power of Prayer
There is no quick fix

The Red Bird comes to visit
He always seems so pleasant
I’ve heard their Angels from above
Looking after us with their Love
A relative they might be
Looking in on us
To see what they can see
Either way I stop and Pray
I thank God for sending them my way
When I accepted JESUS CHRIST
He gave me peace within
Why HE ever wanted to, I cannot see
It had something to do with saving me
It’s not like earthly peace you feel
After enjoying a good Thanksgiving meal
It’s Peace from GOD only brought from above
An unexplainable never-ending river of love
It cleanses your Soul and sets you free
Bringing HIS Abundant Peace and Love to me
Praise HIS NAME Praise HIS NAME Praise HIS NAME
HIS LOVE forever to proclaim

One day I was most Anxious about everything
I was Anxious about the dog
I was Anxious about the cat
I was Anxious about my spouse
I was Anxious about the House
I was Anxious about my children
I was Anxious about my bank account
Then I remembered The Sermon On The Mount
It took my anxieties away
And I found Peace within
When God’s love poured through me again
Php 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

I saw a bird sitting in a tree
Chirping and praising God with glee
It flew off
I know not where
One thing for sure I know it’s still singing
and praising God there

I was going along my merry way
Leaving the store and driving away
I saw a man beside the road
He had a sign that read
Please help my family I have no food
I backed up the car and gave him a 20
Only in hopes that would be plenty
As I drove away I heard him say with a smile
God Bless you and your family I pray
I felt love dwell up in my heart
I began to cry and heard Jesus say
Thank you for what you have done for Me
And my Father today
On the line of time lies,The Cross Of Calvary
Where the victory was won
Good conquered evil
That’s where It was all done
Evil is still in this world But no control over you
If You have accepted Jesus Christ, HE Lives within You
The War is Over
Your Freedom has been Given
The enemy has been Defeated
No more storm raging within
All for the Asking
When You invite Jesus to come In

A little house that needs some fixing up
It’s seen better days
Laughter and family
And happier ways
Memories of good times and hard times too
Working the fields from daylight to dawn
Always toiling on
Grandma would cook
Dad would whittle
Kids would play down by the creek
We were happy even though meek
Time passes by
things seem to change
Everyone has moved from that old house
But the memories still remain
That old house
Will never be the same
Lord I just want to say
You did a mighty fine job making the world today
You made the Sun Moon and stars
Something we can never repay
Thank you most of all
For your Son Jesus Christ
That we might have Eternal Life
