The Storm 

When the clouds start to form
And you can feel the storm
Help is on the way

When all things are tossed about
Never doubt
Help is on the way

When lighting flashes close 
You think the end is near
Help is on the way

Then a small inner voice says
I’M HERE
The PEACE You’ve been waiting for is HERE. 

Thank you, GOD, For Finding Me
In The Worst Situation, I Could Be

I Bow Down And Plea 
Please GOD Don’t Ever Leave ME

This Ole Ship 

When the storms come and the thunder rolls
This ole ship creaks and fears for its soul

The more the wind blows the higher the sea
I fall to my knees and pray to save me

When I think all is lost and no more I can take
The wind blows even harder and I shake

Then all of a sudden there is calm all around
The wind has blown This Ole Ship into a harbor
With a quiet sound

Safe in the harbor I will remain
Till the storm passes by and there is calm and no more rain

JESUS CARES 

JESUS Cares for You. Do You Care for HIM
How many times have you passed HIM by
Not giving a Whim

HE’S always been there and always will BE
It’s up to You to Find HIM And See

The Light of HIS Countenance, will fill you with Grace
Your Many Sins HE Will Erase
If Only You will Look Up And seek HIS FACE

ALL Troubles And Woes HE Will Carry for You
If You Will Only Have Faith in What He Can Do

That  Ole River 

I didn't know what that River was till I crossed it one day.
It’s name was Jordan. I had heard of it somewhere along the way.

I had no idea how deep or wide.
Or where it’s waters flowed.

The closer I got. The brighter the light. 
No more Anxious Moments as I came closer to the Light 

When I arrived on shore
I heard a glorious roar. 

Then I saw the face of JESUS.  
I fell before his feet. 
Thanking HIM for his Glorious Blessings oh how sweet. 

Then I saw my family. Oh what love abounds.
No more pain or sorrow.
Only the Peace of GOD with its Glorious Sounds. 

I never could have imagined. 
The Glory of GOD that I would see.
The Great Unimaginable Love HE had Waiting for Me.

What is a Saint 

What is a Saint? That’s hard to say
It would be someone who does good every day

I think they would live close to GOD without reproach
That would mean making GOD their Coach

A Saint has to perform Miracles I’m told 
Would that be like Miracles of Old

They should have a Caring  Heart
One that has been Set Apart

Caring for others would be a Command
That they have exhibited in Their Lifespan

I’ve just met one Person in my time 
That fits the description’s in this rhyme 

They walk Close with the LORD Every Day
And pray to HIM Like A Friend They’ve met along the way

The one I know would deny all of this
Being Humble is another Attribute I guess

It’s left up to GOD To Say for Sure
And we will only know after our Earthly Tour

Walk on by 

Is that old bottle calling you
Its contents will only make you blue
Walk on by that old liquor store

Your old friends are on the shelf
Don’t take ‘em down and make a fool of yourself 
Walk on by that old liquor store 

When your alone and so blue
You think that’s the only friend for you
Walk on by that liquor store

It can ruin your marriage 
And changed your life
It can bring you much toile and strife
Walk on by that old old liquor store

It will only break your heart 
and scatter the pieces far apart
Just walk on by that old liquor store 

A weight will be lifted for evermore 
When you walk past that old store

If you do not stray
Happiness is on the way
When You walk by that Liquor Store

Some day you’ll look back and say 
Thank you, LORD, for what you did today

I’ll never be able to repay 
Getting me past that Old Liquor Store 

Living Waters 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
Living waters, flowing from above
Sent from GOD with his love

Drink from them, all that thirst
Filling you up with untold love

Giving you all the desires of your heart
Showing HIS Love for you, never to part

Peace that passeth all understanding 
Will abound with you for everlasting
