On The Line Of Time 

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

THE BOOT 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I may look like an old boot
I have many stories that will never be told 

My Master died
He wasn’t very old 

I’ve danced at weddings 
I’ve been a pallbearer at funerals

I’ve seen joy 
And I’ve seen sorrow 
My Master always put me on tomorrow 

It wasn’t I, to decide the fate
Only to make my Master look great

I would like to have gone with him
But that wasn’t meant to be

I now have a new task in life
To be proudly worn by his son
As long as he needs Me

On The Way To Nashville 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m just an old Country Boy
With a song in my heart

Traveling on the way to Nashville
Hoping someone will give me a start

No money No food
Just  a dream in my head

Oh Lord Oh Lord
Let me make it big 
Before I’m dead

I just need a chance 
To sing my song

Ever since she left me
I’ve been all wrong

I know there are better days ahead
Cause it can’t get no worse

I feel like it’s around the corner
I’m about to burst

Oh Lord Oh Lord give me a break
That’s all I ask in His Namesake

A Little Old House 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
 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

BAMBI 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m a little Deer
My name is Bambi

My mother taught me all I know
To watch for humans where ever I go

I frolic and play deep in the woods
I come out at night to investigate
The garden delight

It’s so nice for these people to feed us
I hope I’m doing what’s right

When I get older I’ll have a family too
And teach them the right thing to do

Little Hummingbird 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m a little Hummingbird 
Flying so fast and true

I fly around looking for food
That’s mostly what I do 

My most important job
Happens to be the nest
That’s where my babies rest  

Early to rise in the morning
Late to sleep at night

The Lord Blesses me each and every day
That’s why I teach my babies, to always pray

When It’s Over

When it’s over
And theirs only silence to abound 

May the Memory of me
Be the Love I've spread around

May the Memory of Clashing Symbols
And Bugles in the air
Be a Reflection of the Praises to Our Heavenly Father up there. 

As time goes by
May the Memories increase in our Hearts
To Show
How We Praised GOD from the very start

For there is no end to life
only relief from strife

When we come before HIS Throne
His Glory will be Known

Be Content 

When all goes wrong 
When all goes right
Just hold on and sit tight

When your in pain
When your not

Be not in despair 
For Jesus is there

If you are rich
If you are poor

Thank God
For letting you endure

When your going through a tunnel 
And you start to see the light

Just bow your head
And know everything will be alright
