G-D

Have you ever heard the term G-D
It seems like a sinful thing to say
Using this term shows your lack of respect for God; you will have to pay

Knowing how powerful God is and what He can do
There is a possibility Great harm will come to you

When you think about it. G-D is just missing the circle of Love, “O” in the middle
Pondering on this might solve a lifelong riddle 

God's Love is never-ending through this life and beyond
It's up to me to accept him with a never-ending bond

In the midst of it all

Have I ever been troubled with nowhere to turn
Have I ever been so excited that my heart burns

With the ups and downs of my life here on earth
God has been in the midst of it all since my birth

Thanking Him every day for walking with me in the valleys and on the hills
When He walks with me night and day, He keeps me from many spills

In the midst of it all, I can hearing his call wherever I go
No matter where I find myself in life
Constantly feeling His love flow

The load I bear

Oh Lord, you know the load I bear
Oh Lord, you know my every care

Walking with you, my load is lighter
Walking with you, my path is brighter

Knowing you will never leave or forsake me
Gives me the endurance to sail the stormy sea

Feeling your love all along the way
Gives me the strength to pray every day

Bowing my head, thanking You for saving me from sin
I worship and praise you knowing the race I will win

The fires of life

Have you ever walked through a fire in your life
Did you get burned. Did you walk through with little strife

There is only one that can protect you from the flames
The same God that protected Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego 

God is able to deliver you from the fire
Great faith is the key that is required

With that amount of faith in your heart
From the Lord you will never depart

Tenuous

If you are leading a tenuous lifestyle
You may have retreated to the corner for a while 

Tenuous being a lack of confidence 
Fostered by little or no experience 

No need to be shy if with God you reside 
On Him, you will learn ultimately to abide 

Confidence through walking with Jesus 
Feeling divine strength rising up in us

Thank you, Almighty God, for giving me boldness
Now standing tall in Your Presence of Holiness

Precious Memories

Precious memories live in my heart each day
Being stored in the vault of love where they stay

The precious ones always bring a tear to my eye
These memories are often of a loved one who has died

Precious is an endearing term sent from God on high
Memories that flood my soul with many emotions which fly

Memories of Mother and Dad in their happier times of life
Memories of playful and joyful times with my dear wife

Time marched on my feelings become less strong
God planned it that way, that I may carry on

God is perfect in everything he does 
It is for me to listen following His Love

Front & Back

There are not many who will have my front and back
Most fade away. After a short time, even losing track

Being the only one who will stay with me all the way
God my maker from above, will forever stay

He is in front of me as well as in the rear
Looking over me, constantly feeling him so near

Giving me peace of mind and peace in my heart
Knowing that from me, He will never depart
