I hear the faint sound of distant drums calling me Each day a little louder one day I will be set free The drum echos in the mountains of my mind Coming closer to my God the more love I find The sound getting louder with each passing day The rhythm of the drums causes me to stop and pray One day they will become silent to my soul That day I will be called home making me whole January 8, 2024 MarkWaldrop

The Man in the middle made a difference that day When I turned my head hearing Him say Forgive them, Father; they know not what they do You gave them your Love, and they crucified you I turned my head. He heard me say Father, forgive me today Hearing Him reply My son; you will be with Me in Paradise as you pray Luk 23:34 Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luk 23:42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Luk 23:43 Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." April 1, 2023 MarkWaldrop
I’ve got tears in my oatmeal since you went away I’ve got tears in my oatmeal I cry every day I long to hear your voice. I pray all the time My tears fall like rain from all the pain. I’ve got tears in my oatmeal. It’s Ruin My Day All I do is fill up the Ole Ashtray. My oatmeal doesn’t taste like it used to It’s way too salty through and through If I could change things somehow I would even have a cow I’ve cut out my drinking and running around I’ve even cut out acting like a clown I would give anything to have you back I would even go to Church and sit in the back I reckon it’s too late now. I got what I deserve I didn’t see it coming. Girl, you threw me a curve Nothing left but to pick up the pieces And wait till that longing in my heart ceases I’ll never forget you till I die Even if I find someone else I’ll still cry Oh LORD don’t let me make this mistake again There’s no way I could stand the pain within I’d end up in an Early Grave Just because I did not behave May 23, 2022 Mark Waldrop
When the dog's bark And the Cows moo I will still be searching for you When You Left Me I knew it was all wrong I felt the pain all day long I Prayed and I Prayed all Night long Peace came over Me and I felt strong When I turned You over to GOD Happiness for you is all I wanted For I knew then we would never be together From then on, I would always be Haunted I listen to the whistle of the Midnight Train The Ghostly Sound it makes in the rain It only reminds me of your smile Oh for you I would walk a 100 miles As time flew by My memories grew dim Of the Sweetheart, I knew then Then the realization came to me We would be together in eternity May 23, 2022 Mark Waldrop
I don’t know you And you don’t know me We have a mutual friend you see He told me to tell you Help is on the way He is coming to help if you are Troubled He will lovingly lift you out of the Rubble If everything is going good and you love everyone Look above and count your Blessings Name them one by one He will laugh and cry with us And take care of all our needs We will follow whoever HE leads You will know him when he arrives His love will dwell up in your heart Our Friend Is God who made you and me HE will live within us never more to part September 10, 2021 Mark Waldrop
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 June 16, 2021 Mark Waldrop
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 June 6, 2021 Mark Waldrop
