A little house that needs some fixing up
It’s seen better days
Laughter and family
And happier ways
Memories of good times and hard times too
Working the fields from daylight to dawn
Always toiling on
Grandma would cook
Dad would whittle
Kids would play down by the creek
We were happy even though meek
Time passes by
things seem to change
Everyone has moved from that old house
But the memories still remain
That old house
Will never be the same
Lord I just want to say
You did a mighty fine job making the world today
You made the Sun Moon and stars
Something we can never repay
Thank you most of all
For your Son Jesus Christ
That we might have Eternal Life
When it’s over
And theirs only silence to abound
May the Memory of me
Be the Love I've spread around
May the Memory of Clashing Symbols
And Bugles in the air
Be a Reflection of the Praises to Our Heavenly Father up there.
As time goes by
May the Memories increase in our Hearts
To Show
How We Praised GOD from the very start
For there is no end to life
only relief from strife
When we come before HIS Throne
His Glory will be Known

When all goes wrong
When all goes right
Just hold on and sit tight
When your in pain
When your not
Be not in despair
For Jesus is there
If you are rich
If you are poor
Thank God
For letting you endure
When your going through a tunnel
And you start to see the light
Just bow your head
And know everything will be alright
I saw Jesus
I’m not afraid of Him
I felt his love deep within
He died on the cross
And rose again
So that I might live again
He gives me more than I could ever believe
Peace within
And Joy received
There is no understanding
Of what he can do
He can live within
You too
There’s no rhyme or reason here on earth
You have to look to Heaven to find any worth
People run here and fro
Never knowing where to go
If you trust in GOD
HE will show you the way
Believe in his Son
And start to pray
When he comes into your heart
You will feel his love from the start
As you walk along the way
He will guide you every day
I had a Miracle last night
I never had one before
But it is something I praise GOD for
I’ve had a blind spot in my right eye
For Thirty Five Years
I never complained, sometimes it brought me to tears
I dreamed last night my eye was healed
I praised the LORD from where I kneeled
When I awoke, the blind spot was gone
Now Praising my SAVIOR all the day long

When Joseph and Mary returned home
They were neighbors of ours
My mother said we should see them
And take some flowers
As we came to the house, there was something different
I cannot explain
It smelled like fresh falling rain
They welcomed us inside
So proud of their son
They told of their journey with great excitement
And how it had begun
Mary said God sent us this son for a great purpose on earth
We have no idea of his great worth
As I turned and saw the smile on this baby’s face
I could not contain myself
I ran all over the place
My mother told me to calm down, or we would have to go
She did not want me to disturb this baby, that had such a glow
As we were about to leave,
I turned to look and saw that face
I will never forget The love and grace
Many years have passed
But I can still see Baby Jesus's Face

Jesus came again today
I thought we were going to play
He just wanted to go for a walk
And talk along the way
As we walked strange things happened
Things I could not explain
First, he picked up a dead frog
Then it leaped onto a log
Then a fish floating at the edge of the stream
He touched it and it swam away
I was a little scared
But he is my friend
I will always trust him
No matter what
Because he’s the only real friend I’ve got
