I am weak but HE is Strong

I am weak but HE is Strong 
The weaker I become the more I belong

He brings me power from within
So I can better serve Him

He gives me a light for the way
And understanding for the day

For Him living within me
I can become whatever he wants me to be

All in his destined plan for me
To pass HIS LOVE along to set men free

May HIS will on Earth be done
So his race we can faithfully run

HOLY HOLY HOLY IS HIS NAME
All the Creatures below Praise HIS NAME

HIS LOVE for us we cannot understand
All we can do is kneel before him and Say 
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU again and again

Politics

Politics is a Blessing if you're on  the right side
I guess it’s just the Opposite if you don’t see eye to eye

My question is where will it go after everything else is gone. 
I think I know but I may be wrong

It won’t be in Heaven that’s for sure
That leaves only one place for it to endure 

If it’s not Heaven it must be Hell
Politicians can use it where they might dwell

PRAISING HIS NAME

Come To GOD PRAISING HIS HOLY NAME. 
Not complaining about every little thing. 

Thank HIM for what HE’S given you. 
From HIS store House HIS Blessings Renew

He may fill you full of the Spirit. 
He may fill your barns if you merit. 

It’s left up to GOD for HIS Will to be done. 
We can only PRAISE HIS NAME and the race will be run.

What should I Pray for today

Most anything I would suspect 
That pertains to GOD and his relationship with Man

That doesn’t mean praying for your favorite team to win. 
You should pray for every Man on your team to come to HIM

The most important thing to GOD is your relationship with his son
This doesn’t mean praying for worldly things
That is almost always left undone. 

So the next time you Pray. Bow your head and say. 
Teach me Dear LORD what to pray for today.

Master Of My Soul

No matter the road I take or where I go
I am the Master of my Soul

I plot the course of where to go
I have Control where to take My Soul

No matter where I roam or end up
My portion always fills my cup

Was it Love or Hate that filled me up
That depended on, where my Soul ended up

The Love Of GOD, is the Harbor our Soul Seeks
This is the Only Place, We Will Find real Peace

 The Dipole

I’ve had towers and I’ve had beams
Nothing better than the old dipole it seems

I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor
What’s most important is being a doer

Earthly things will just fade away 
Then our body we’ll be just like clay

But our soul will live on thats for sure
Will it be in Heaven. Will it be in Hell

That’s for only you to decide
Where your future will dwell 

The only road to Heaven I’m told
Is through GOD’S SON who died on the Cross for you and me

Well I know this is true for I accepted him. 
And now PRAISE GOD HE LIVES WITHIN ME !!!

In The Silence

In the silence, you can hear His voice a bird, the wind, the rain
He speaks to us every day so very plain

If we listen closely
HIS LOVE will always come through

Lifting our hearts Praising HIS NAME
We feel HIS LOVE SO TRUE 

He is always continually watching 
Over Me and You

Confusion

When all around you seem to be falling apart
People taking sides is not very smart

When everyone is right and no one wrong
This divides the Country with an untuned song

United we Stand divided we fall
That should be our battle call

All these things shall pass away
Only GOD’S Love will stay

In all the turmoil we see
Keep Praising GOD in the Highest with Joyful Glee

Only GOD knows what the future holds
His Infinite Wisdom is Above our Goals

In the end, when life is Spun
All Earthly things will matter none

Only what’s done for CHRIST will Last
From us, that’s all HE asked

The Embalming Room

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.
