It’s Dinner on the Grounds 

Do you remember Dinner on the grounds
I was a little boy
I used to run and play all day

There was always lots of good food
The more people ate. The more food there was
I was too young to notice at the time

After dinner there was singing in the Church
Gospel Music flowed from the windows
On Good Days Aunt Hattie would get to shouting

Us kids stayed outside and played not to create a disturbance 
We would pull ourselves up and look in the windows 

There were strange things going on as the people swayed back and fort to the music
I learned later it was called the Holy Spirit

What ever it was it was from heaven
Some said they got healed
From what I’m not sure
But they said it was a real cure 

Seems things aren’t like they used to be
I think Old Time Religion is good enough for me

Difference In Day & Night 

What is the difference between day and night
It seems to be the absence and presence of light

In the daytime, we do not stumble or fall
Because in the light, we can see all

The night is quite different because it is dark
We have to have a lamp to reach our mark. 

If we make GOD a lamp unto our feet
We will not stumble or retreat

For he knows the backroads of life
And the safest path with no strife 

To keep us safe and from harm
Always be in his arms.

Praise Him Praise Him 

Praise Him Praise Him our LORD above
All day long

Praise Him Praise Him
HE is exceedingly Strong 

Praise HIM Praise HIM for HIs Majestic Greatness 
Praise Him In Wonderful Word and Song

Praise HIM Praise HIM for HIS  Loving Mercy 
That We walk with HIM with a new song

HIM for his Everlasting Faithfulness 
That we may worship all day long


Praise HIM Praise HIM for HIS Undying LOVE
Sending his SON JESUS from Above

Praise HIM Praise HIM throughout Eternity 
Giving His Overflowing Love

When I Hear his Voice 

When I hear HIS voice
I kneel and pray

I bow my heart
To gain liberty 

HIS Love pours through me
Giving me unexplained strength
That sets me free 

HIS SON died on the Cross
To save you and me

He shed HIS Blood
Just for me to set Me free

HE gave New Life to Me
For here through Eternity

As I go through life and HE shares HIS LOVE
HE reveals HIS plan for me

When that day comes to meet HIM face to face
I will fall on my knees thanking HIM for his Amazing Grace and sing HIs Praises for Eternity

THE FLAG 

The FLAG is not a piece of fabric
To be tossed around like fodder 
It’s a proud badge of courage to be carried with great honor

Its proud colors stand for all to see
Red is for valor those who died for you and me

White is for purity and innocence 
like in our children we see

Blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice persevered  for you and me

So when you salute the flag
Stand very proud and say

I know what you stand for
And I am very proud of you today

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep 

Now I lay me down to sleep I pray to the Lord, my soul, to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take

This is all I know to say
For all, HE has done for me today

Words elude me
As his love includes me

His Love is beyond compare 
Leaving no words to share

The many things HE has done
I cannot express with my tung

LORD GOD ALMIGHTY 
I Bow down before YOU in the night 
I have peace within and feel no fright

I have a friend named Kyle 
He always has a smile

He’s always grooming his beard
That seems just a little weird 

He’s a Man of GOD and loves to spread the word
He’s always willing to make the Gospel heard

A man of many miracles 
He doesn’t like to talk about
Surely a Man  close to GOD no doubt

He’s preached in prisons
Even in locked cells
There is no boundary where GOD dwells 

He serves the LORD by calling the 7240 Net 
Having Christian Fellowship and spreading the Word
It’s no task for him. He loves to be heard. 

I am glad to be called a Friend by Him
We both have JESUS in our Hearts
That’s what gives us Joy within.

Paul Messinger 

Paul Messinger was my Boss
But more than that he is a Friend

He is a man that walks with GOD
You can feel HIS presence within

You always feel better after a visit with him
He always praises again and again

He lives by the Golden Rule
That’s what makes his life so true

What more could a man have asked
Then to have been so Very Blessed 

Your Dear Friend
