I forget what I forgot

I forget what I forgot
Someone in my Family is named spot

Well, it's less stressful this way
It makes no difference what I say

Don't feel sorry for me
Not remembering, I feel free

God has a way of giving His Peace 
All my troubles and cares cease

I have no trouble remembering my prayers
It's a blessing to have someone who cares 

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
Amen

Christmas Season

The Christmas Season is fond memories of long ago
The season of Baby Jesus being born and longing for a Christmas Snow

The Christmas play at Church
The warmth of the Season, we search

Pressing my nose to the frosty window pane made my heart race with cheer
Hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa's giant red Sleigh and the eight tiny reindeer

Little sleep before Christmas Morning
Santa quietly arrives with no warning 

My sleepy eyes missed him again tonight
He must have arrived late just before daylight

The Joy of giving and caring for those we love
The teaching from our Heavenly Father above

Being grateful for what we have
Is the key to God’s perfect Love

Listening

Listening goes a very long way
Bringing greater happiness than what you say

Listening is cultivating an essential art in life
Mastering it will undoubtedly bring less strife 

Listening is showing respect with your ears
Reverend listing will bring many tears

Listening shows you care about others and what they say
Everyone needs to know that someone cares today

Jesus cares for everyone every day 
He always listens no matter what you say

My broken heart

When I am at my lowest; God is at his greatest
He brings his Almighty Love, that's the latest
Only  when I'm down can he
Lift me up
That's when I start to drink from His Holy Cup

Being  lifted up and on my way 
I start to share his love everyday 

It's only then His power can be felt
That my heart begins to melt

Pouring my melted heart into a new mould of love
Only coming from my Heavenly Father above

With a new heart and a new task ahead
I will only stop when I reach my deathbed

Being in Control

Do I like being in control, or what
You bet I do. I like to strut

I don't want anybody telling me what to do
Guess that’s not true if the pilot’s name is sue

Well, I guess I can’t be In control all the time
That would undoubtedly be a dog-gone crime

To keep people happy, guide them to do what God what's them to
That's the way God meant it to be. That makes me happy too, you see.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah is a beautiful praise
We sing with Love all of our days

Praise His Name, Praise His Love
Glorify Him Who watches from above

Hallelujah from the beginning to end
He will be forever my dearest friend

No matter where my path may lead
He is all that I will ever need

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Praise His Name
Through his love, I will never be ashamed

Praise His Holy Name

Praise His Holy Name
Into my heart, He came

Lifting my burden of sin
Caring for me from within

I'll never be the same again
Since I asked Jesus to come in 

His Name is above all other names
You will undoubtedly feel his flame 

The Love of God he brings to me
Warms my heart for eternity

Tomorrow may never come my way
That makes today the very day

Please, Please don't turn him away
Bow your head, invite Him in today
