I’m just camping in this old world of sin
Going home soon, I won’t need this tent ever again

The cold wind and the rain blow in
This old tent has been my faithful friend

When I get home, there will be no more storms
Only fair weather resting in My Fathers Arms

Every day, I camp a little closer to home
One day, I will never again roam

If this old tent will hold, keeping the weather out
I will soon toss it aside with a great shout

I'm on my way home if I can make it there
Before my old tent becomes completely threadbare

On the path of destiny, a purpose unfolds,
Walking in the light, where prophecy molds.
Building connections, divinely designed,
In the tapestry of fate, each thread aligned.

Prophetic whispers guide each stride,
In the dance of life, side by side.
Relationships crafted with heavenly intent,
A sacred journey, where souls are sent.

Foundation laid in wisdom's embrace,
Divine connections, a powerful grace.
Heart to heart, in unity's blend,
Walking the path that destiny penned.

Through trials and triumphs, hand in hand,
Building bridges to the promised land.
Prophetic destiny, a story unfolds,
In the sacred bonds, a tale of old.

In the echoes of purpose, relationships divine,
A symphony of souls, in harmony entwined.
Walking the path that destiny has cast,
Building connections that forever last.

In the garden of youth, where laughter takes flight,
Children dance with time, in pure delight.
Days stretch like summers, endless and free,
A carousel of moments, pure simplicity.

Clocks are but whispers, unnoticed they chime,
As children weave tales, in the canvas of time.
Yesterday's worries, tomorrow's unknown,
In the magic of now, their world is sown.

In wide-eyed wonder, they chase the sun,
Each second a treasure, a race to be won.
Fingers graze the hours, like grains of sand,
Yet, in the grasp of joy, time finds its stand.

Seasons may change, leaves fall and regrow,
Yet, in the heart of a child, time moves slow.
For every giggle, every shared rhyme,
Writes a chapter eternal, in the book of time.

Oh, to see the world through their innocent gaze,
Where moments are diamonds in time's endless maze.
In the eyes of children, time finds its prime,
A dance, a melody, forever in rhyme.

A flash of darkness surrounding me
Amidst the bright light, I used to see

The lack of light I was accustomed to 
Brought an eerie feeling into my view

Light glows brighter from others I see
Looking inward brings darkness to me

Pushing the flash of darkness away
Starts with serving others I must say

Two souls entwined, a story to be told.
A match made in heaven, as if by design,
Guided by the hands of a love divine.

Through the chapters of fate, their journey weaves,
A harmony of hearts, as destiny conceives.

God's orchestrations, a celestial art,
United in love, never to depart.
Whispers of angels in the gentle breeze,
Two spirits dancing with effortless ease.

A symphony of emotions, a heavenly song,
In this match made above, where they belong.
Stars align, witnessing this cosmic ballet,
A love so profound, it lights up the way.

In the embrace of destiny, they find each other,
A match made in heaven, where one soul meets another.

In shadows deep, a thorn entwined,
A pain profound, in the heart enshrined.
Tenderness and skill, a delicate art,
To remove the thorn, where healing can start.

Complex, wounded, our stories unfold,
In the tapestry of time, tales untold.
Digging deeper, compassion's quest,
For others, ourselves, we seek what's best.

A vivid reminder of our shared plight,
In the garden of souls, seeking the light.
The thorn, a symbol, etched in our core,
A call to empathy, forevermore.

With gentle hands and hearts that care,
We navigate wounds, the burdens we bear.
For in understanding the thorns we wear,
True compassion blooms, a love so rare.

I must keep my eye on the finish line
In finishing the race, my light will shine

The race becomes long and hard at times
I will, on God's time, cross that coveted line

I can't run the race all alone 
I don't have strength on my own

Trusting in Him He lifts my spirits high
Growing stronger to meet Him the sky

Nothing tugs at the heart more than the loss of a friend
A Daddy, Mommy, Husband, Wife, there is no end

What can take the place of a love so entwined 
Only The Love of God can comfort our mind 

God's Love can mend the most broken
Pot
Remade into a perfect vessel without a blemish or spot

Thank you, God, for watching over me
Your Love mending and setting me free

If it is forbidden, the desire becomes out of control
Eve thought the forbidden would make her whole

Something I can't have, I pine for more and more
Being out of reach, my sin desires it even more

Sin is the desire for something beyond my means
Faith is the Eternal Hope for things unseen 

Love and sin cannot live together
Sin binds my eternal soul
God's Son Jesus sent in Love freed me and made  me whole

I have no silver or gold. Let me give you something of greater worth untold. 
In the name of Jesus,  God’s Love, and Mercy, I will give for all to behold 

The Power of God's Mercy and Love is free to all men
Only Bowing to Him,  asking  His Son Jesus to come in

The Power of God's Love is immeasurable here on earth
It's one in the same power that created the whole universe

There is Power in the Blood that was shed for you and me
In that Blood is the Power of Love that sets all men free

Thank you, God, for creating us to Love
That, in turn, we may worship your Son from above
