The Ocean

If love is vast like an ocean, how do we set sail
JESUS walked on water and HE did not fail

Maybe HE’S is the one that we are looking for
To guide us to that GREAT far off distant shore

The GOOD BOOK said he had  Faith in HIS FATHER
That’s what gave HIM the ability to walk on water

If we can find enough Faith to hold HIS HAND
It will be an easy walk to that far-off land

Crystal Clear Water 

There’s a River of water that flows through me
 It’s Crystal Clear bringing LOVE and Humility 

It fills me up with JESUS' warmth and LOVE
Guiding me every day with a hand from above

The further I go the more I see
How GODS HAND is guiding me

Thank you, LORD, for sending this everlasting love
Flowing through the Crystal Clear River from above

Hanging On 

Do you find yourself hanging on by a thread 
For the most part, do you feel about half dead 

Look in the mirror and what do you see
Look at  yourself and what is ahead for me 

 In great despair with a frown on your face
Is there any hope for happiness in any place

The answer is not far away from you
It’s helping others instead of helping you

Little Sparrow 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m a little sparrow
His eye is always on me

I can’t read 
But that’s what they tell me

I know it’s true what they say
I can feel him around me every day

I feed my children in the nest
I feel so very blest

One day when my children leave the nest
They will do their very best

His eye will be on them all the day
He will watch over them the entire way 

I know this to be true
Because HE Watches over Me and You

Fish 

Feed all the people a wonderful meal 
Then to be self-sufficient we should feel

Having a meal without toil  we desire
Our existence requires something higher

To sustain life we need more than a meal
We need a burning desire in our lives to feel

Spreading of the WORD Is our Goal in Life
Not to succumb to the mountains of strife

Sin 

I feel I’m going to sin tonight 
I hope everything will turn out alright 

That place calling me has no light
Somehow It doesn’t feel just right

Should I go and get forgiveness later
Or should I just tell GOD and be a traitor 

Either way, I will be in the wrong
I guess I’m just not very strong

I did say a little Prayer out of despair 
Oh GOD I don’t know what to do
Just HELP me not do what I shouldn’t do

A warmth came over me
It gave me more pleasure than my sinning would be

Thank YOU, LORD for watching over me
I’ll try to do better in the future i plea

Why 

HIS Love for us we never should doubt
Before the beginning of time, we were called out

HIS Great Heart cares as much for us today
As It did when we were walking away

HIS Powerful Hands Holds us close to him
Keeping us from all harm from without and within

Death cannot separate us from GODS Love 
GODS SON JESUS brought that gift from above
