Stay Calm 

Stay calm In whatever comes along
It won’t last very long

If you ask JESUS in your heart
He will be with you wherever you impart

HE will never leave you alone
Always holding your hand
Whatever the groan

When we see light at the end of the tunnel 
Despair springs into Hope
Knowing with JESUS Anything we can Cope

How Time Passes Away 

When I was young I heard them say
How quickly Time  passes away

Then it didn’t occur to me
Later what the meaning would be

In My middle years, the time moved swifter
Not noticing too much being somewhat a drifter

As I grew older things changed immensely 
The hands of the clock turned very quickly

Days turned into weeks, Weeks into months, Months into Years. All in the twinkling of an eye. 
In many ways, Time had passed me by

The Gospel Ship 

We’re going to sail on that Good Ole Gospel Ship
I'm so excited anticipating this once in a lifetime trip

I Feel So Comfortable being on board 
Knowing soon I will Meet my Precious Lord

It’s Headed Right For The Promised Land 
A distance place we don't Understand

Our Friends And Loved Ones We Shall See
Oh What A Glorious Day That Will  Be

When my Master Welcomes me home
Oh The love I will feel, never again being alone

Baptized In The Spirit 

A strange statement I must say
I never really understood until today

The HOLY SPIRIT comes with HIM
When we ask JESUS to come in

HE always abides with us
If we don’t acknowledge HIM
It can create a fuss

HE acts as our communication with GOD
Without Him, we only Pray in Vain
Asking GOD for almost everything. 

He sent HIS SON to save our SOLES 
He sent the HOLY SPIRIT that we might grow

Without HIM we would remain like Little Children
Not ever growing in the Faith
So that we might see HIS RADIANT FACE

YESTER YEAR

Painting by Spike O’Dell Brentwood Tennessee
Seems like Yesterday 
We were frolicking and running along the way

We had Children and we were so Proud
Even though sometimes they were very loud

Then the Grandchildren came along
They were even more loving and sure did belong 

Now We have more time for Ourselves 
Time to Remember The Love we’ve shared 
Relishing the Thoughts of How Much We Cared

We have many more days behind than Ahead of us now
We are So Pleased With What GOD Has Allowed

We are So Happy and Blessed
For GOD Has Walked with us all the way through
And we know he will always Continue too 

The Rich Man 

There was once a Rich Man that died and went to Hell
He thought in Heaven He would dwell 

His Torment was so Great
 He begged someone to save Him from his Fate

Don’t you remember the one You Passed By
The One You did not even hear their Cry

You have set your fate with the hardness of your Heart
From this place, you will never part

For those left behind
We only hope they see
The Correct Path to take to come unto Me

Romance Is A Funny Thing 

Romance is a funny feeling 
You may be deceived in every dealing

The Truth You will only Feel, when You seek GOD’S Wil
This is not easily done, If you do not know GOD’S SON

So Where does the Answer Lie
Moving Slow and trying not to Cry

So What You think is Right as Rain
It May very well be only in Vain

So what should I do  I do not know
The only answer is to move very slow

Mark C. Waldrop II
Just penned this
And thought of your Practice

Generations 

Is this Generation Greater or Less
Because of what has happened in the Past

It’s Always Been the Same down through the Ages
Because GOD’S LOVE is written in the Pages

He Sent HIS LOVE in the form of HIS SON
So We Might Win the Race We Run

HIS LOVE Caries Us Through
No Matter What We Do

This Seems Impossible to Me and You
Because We Can’t Understand What God Can Do
