Why is there a bridge and what is its true purpose
It's a structure that connects us that can't be purchased
If there wasn't a cavern in between
No bridge would be needed or foreseen
GOD Sent HIS SON to bridge the gap between HE and Man
Over the gulf from eternity to our soul
The bridge of Love does span
Once that Love comes into our heart
We are connected to GOD never more to depart

Nature is so full of many brilliant colors
and delightful sounds.
The shimmering reds, yellows, and orange hues make the love in our hearts abound.
The chirping of the birds, lift our spirits by the day.
The orchestra of the crickets in the night sends our many cares far away.
Mother Nature chose to send us the very best.
If we choose to see and listen, we will surely be blest.
Of all of the wonderful creations that nature brings,
the birth of a child far exceeds the wealth of many kings.
The cry of a loving newborn babe
makes our hearts sing with great adoration.
The sweet love between mother and child forms a most divine relation.
We're so grateful, for the magnificent splendor of nature that surrounds us every day.
We can only stop and ponder, the total joy and peace it brings our way.

How do I find the best road to take me home?
The first decision to be made, I no more want to roam.
A map to take me there would be the most important
For surely it will make the trip much shortened
So whether it be your physical or spiritual home
start your journey today, to see the light of home.

Have you ever been surprised by something, good or bad.
If it were bad did it make you sad? If it were good were you glad?
If there were no surprises at all, A dull life it would be.
I suspect under the ground, is where you would find me.
If you train yourself to always expect the uncertain.
It will soften the blow, of the scene behind the curtain.

What makes Marshall University so Great
It is the professors that carry so much
weight
Marshall, a University that has a soul that speaks from within
Its namesake US Chief Justice John Marshall, Is where the credit begins
Marshall was brought to its knees through that tragic plane crash
Seventy-five souls departed this earth, no one could fathom there worth
Huntington prayed for Marshall night and day
Marshall began to rebuild, The Thundering Herd began to play
Through the ashes of great tragedy, something mysterious happens
Through the love and strength of GOD
A stronger University happened
Marshall University stands today
on honored grounds for all to share
A university that's large enough to matter but small enough to care
Graduates of Marshall University can hold their heads high
Knowing they can accomplish anything before they die

Written for the Alumni of Marshall University
Residents of Woodlands
Do you know someone that has a cold heart
The more you talk, the further you grow apart
There's just one thing that will melt that old heart
That's the warmth of GOD’S Love flowing from your own heart
It may take a while if that old heart is frozen like a block of ice
They may have it insulated and not want to get rid of it at any price
The warmth of GOD’S love can penetrate any shell
It can keep people, from going into the pits of hell
Patience is the key I must say
Always keep praying and loving anyway
When the right time comes the ice will start to melt
The warmth of his wonderful Love will be felt
A gleam will finally show in their eye
when they realize that JESUS did not die
Now that you both have a mutual friend
You can talk and share GOD’s Love again and again

Oh the tragedy that befell the nine of Emanuel EME Church
Wherever we look, there is no answer wherever we search
Pure evil was on the prowl that day
Crushing the hearts of many
Is it possible that forgiveness from GOD'S Love could come from any
We've seen from the ashes of destruction
GOD'S Pure Love ascending from above
Forgiveness comes from many family and friends
Can only be understood from the Love of GOD within
For where the bright light of Love abounds
There is no room for the devil on Heavenly Ground

Why do some people require so much attention
Is it because their lonely, or have some issue they forgot to mention
I know it just makes me feel better to have someone to talk too
Talking to a friend always keeps me from feeling blue
If I can't find a friend, almost anyone will do.
It may have something to do with talking your feelings through
The next time someone wants to talk and they are bothering you
Take time to listen, it might be the best for the both of you

What does worship mean to you
Which day do you set aside to do
Sunday is the most common day to attend church
Many people go there without worshiping much
Worship comes from the feelings of the heart
Only GOD knows the real feelings that we impart
A Saint told me one day when I asked when you take time to pray.
GOD watches me every second of the day. My whole life is a prayer I would say.
