When you slip the Surly bonds of earth
And lay your head down to sleep
Don’t fear the Good Shepherd knows the way
And your soul HE will Keep
The fullness you’ll feel the Joy you’ll find
When you feel GOD’S Love Refined
There’s nothing more complete
Then to Bow Down at Our Savior's Feet
What have you been doing today
Running all around every which way
Are you happy with what you’ve done
Or could have a better course run
There is a way to change your life
That will bring you much less strife
The key is the one that made you
He sent his son to save you
If you take him into your heart
He will give you a fresh start
Your life will be like new
With Jesus guiding you
The topic of circumcision is unusual, I must say
Studying it in my Bible Fellowship Class today
It was a practice of religious law a long time ago
Being expected to be performed by tradition, you know
Today there is an entirely different set of circumstances
The reason most often being, to take no health chances
If you have an inquiry concerning the practice of circumcision
Consulting with your health professional, he will answer any question

Some are secure in their Faith
They get a glimpse of GOD
They feel his Saving Grace
We don’t have a clue what lies ahead
Wonderful gifts HE has planned for us
Even Our Daily Bread
The Riches in Glory is far too great
For if we get close enough, we will see our fate
It is only when we approach HIS FACE
HE is revealed through his LOVE and GRACE

It’s all been out there through the Ages
If only when We Believe in HIM and Trust
It’s all been out there for the Healing
If Only Our Faith We Trust
GOD’S Love is out there through the Ages
If in HIS SON We will only Trust and Obey
GOD’S Wisdom and Glory will be with us
If only We Ask and Believe
HE will walk with Us through Eternity
If only we ask and receive
GOD is So Great and So Good
HE will Never be Understood
Sometimes my Nose just itches deep inside
I have to go in there and pull a bugger aside
It’s not very pleasant for you to see
That’s why I try to hide
That’s just between you and me
Once in a while, I see a little blood
That does turn my stomach
It looks much like red mud
I was told not to when I was a little boy
But it brought me such great joy
So today when I Pick
I just bow my head
And try not to flick

Written Specially for My Friend
Stephen Mark Daniluk K8SMD
The embalming room is a strange topic of conversation.
Many hours of toil will bring much perspiration.
Proficiency in training is required to accomplish such a task.
How do l make them look so lifelike? The family would ask.
There is a skill to everything I’ve been told.
The compliments of the family are worth more than gold.
With all the bad things that can come the embalmer's way,
a whole lot of patience and a little water go a long way.
The embalmer is a combination
surgeon and artist, I must say.
I am working extremely hard while keeping my emotions at bay.
It takes a particular person with a Devine calling to succeed in this field.
After many hours of service, numerous rewards I will yield.
I am satisfied with the accomplishments that I cannot measure.
I can only feel it in my heart, which brings great pleasure.
