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 !!!

I have a friend named Mike
He’s a very cordial Guy

He would do anything to help you
Even if you weren’t a nice guy

He loves to fish
And spends lots of time on the lake 

He loves Ham Radio
And any Net he will take 

Most of the fish he gives away
He loves helping his neighbor that way

He loves his family so very much
He can hardly wait for their next touch

We pray to GOD that you will be done
And that Mike’s health might return

In His Hands, we leave Him with You
Knowing he is safe from harm there too

From all of your Buddies that love you so 
We anxiously await Your return on the Radio

Here you’ll find Friendly Hams
All who love the LORD

All following JESUS
Getting closer to their Great Reward

We are dedicated to spreading the word
That the Great Love of JESUS 
Is it the Best News we’ve ever heard

If We Praise and Pray for each other 
That brings us closer to one another 

At the end of the Net
We all feel better 
Because we have shared in the LORD together 

Hams are a funny lot
They talk all over the world
With a Radio, wire, and a few watts

They help with communication 
In all kinds of ways

Hurricane, floods and other emergencies 
All with similar urgencies


Their a close knit bunch
Always operating on a hunch

Never charging for their service in any way
Always helping each other every day

It’s a wonderful hobby
Bringing much joy and fulfillment 
To all those who choose the commitment 

I guess their calling is from above
Because they serve with much love

I have a friend named Tom
He always seems so calm

He has Great Faith in God
That’s why he knows which path to trod

No matter when you see or hear him
He’s always the same

He has a remarkable memory
He never forgets a name

Even though he has many difficulties in life
He never shows any strife 

I hope he remains my friend till I die
Then we will be with God in the sky
