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

On the Dusty Road 

Each day the Dusty Road took JESUS a little further 
To spread the Gospel of His Dear Loving FATHER

Many Sings and Miracles HE did perform
Along the Dusty Road, HE even Calmed a Storm

He Healed Men and Women from the Love of HIS Heart
They were So Impressed They never wanted to Part

He told Them to Carry on the Story of HIS WORD
They knew HIS Life would be Short  from what they Had Heard

HE Died on the Cross to Save Us All
Only to be Resurrected with A GREAT CALL

Time on This Earth Will Never Be The Same
Since Our Loving Caring JESUS Died and Rose Again

Thank You GOD 

THANK You, GOD, For What You’ve Done For Me

I Don’t Know Why it Should Ever Be 

You’ve Done So Much For Me

I’ve Done Very Little For Thee

You Died on The Cross To Save Me From My Sins

I Could  Never Repay You If I Tried Again and Again

Your Love Washes Through Me Like Fresh Wind

Refreshing My Soul Again And Again  

I Have Nothing Of Worth to Repay you With 

I Can Only Give My Life In Service With A Fresh Breath

Praise You, Praise You Again And Again

For Giving Your Life And Being My Friend
