Are you Listening 

What might you be listening for? Is it something that concerns you?
Is it what you have been waiting for to help get you through?

Most often we wait too late to listen, throwing us into a state of confusion. 
If we had just taken the time to heed, 
we would have avoided this illusion 

Much strife and misunderstanding could be readily avoided.
If we would only take time to listen to those that are anointed.

His Touch 

His Touch is beyond our imitation being seen and felt
At the Foot of the Cross of Jesus, where we once knelt

Whatever we need, can only be found, by the gentle Touch of the Master's Hand
With the completeness to fulfill our every desire, we will come to understand

His touch only comes as our journey leads us closer to Him
Touching the hem of His garment, everlasting love comes flowing in

Melting Moments 

As the fleeting  moments pass us by
the older we get the faster they fly. 

Some memories of yesterday seem so far away. 
Others are as if they happened just today. 

Difference between the two I'm not so sure. 
It has to do with the pleasant memories, that are so pure. 

The melting of pleasing moments in our minds. 
Bring calming peace with the marching of Father Time.

Prayer is the key to Heaven but Faith unlocks the Door 

If prayer is the key to Heaven and Faith unlocks the door
Is it found here on earth, or on a very distant shore 

Is there a Heaven here on this earth 
Do we have to wait till we die
Is it possible to have enough Faith to see Heaven through our soul’s eye

The answer to this question, remains deep inside you
It’s how you see JESUS and the results of what you do

How Close Is He 

How close is He, How close is He
He's much closer than I can see

How close is He, How close is He
He's closer than my breath in me

How close is He, How close is He
My Savior, now He wants to be

How close is He, How close is He
He's so close, He has set me free

How close is He, How close is He
He takes my hand so that I may see

Ho close us He, How closes he
Wherever I go He travels with me

How close is He, How close is He
He lifts me up, for his love to see

How close is He, How close is He Praise God He's leading me into Eternity

How close is he, How close is He
His glorious  face I now see

Along the Way 

When you go to work day after day
What do you think of along the way

I always thought about, what was ahead of me
Most often, there were things I could not see

Problem-solving, was the most interesting time
Relying on past experiences, to try and make a dime

Little did I rely on the Creator of Mankind
Always thinking I could solve the problems, with my own mind

Only turning to ask for help from above 
When I realized I had lost my love

An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure
If only we would ask and not try to be so mature 

Turning to GOD, is not a sign of weakness in any way
It's a sign of strength and perfection, in GOD’S Love every day

The Bridge 

Ravenel Bridge in Charleston South Carolina
Why is there a bridge and what is its true purpose
It's a structure that connects us that can't be purchased 

If there wasn't a cavern in between
No bridge would be needed or foreseen

GOD Sent HIS SON to bridge the gap between HE and Man
Over the gulf from eternity to our soul
The bridge of Love does span

Once that Love comes into our heart
We are connected to GOD never more to depart

Color Me Nature 

Nature is so full of many brilliant colors
and delightful sounds.
The shimmering reds, yellows, and orange hues make the love in our hearts abound.

The chirping of the birds, lift our spirits by the day. 
The orchestra of the crickets in the night sends our many cares far away. 

Mother Nature chose to send us the very best.
If we choose to see and listen, we will surely be blest.

Of all of the wonderful creations that nature brings,
the birth of a child far exceeds the wealth of many kings.

The cry of a loving newborn babe
makes our hearts sing with great adoration. 
The sweet love between mother and child forms a most divine relation. 

We're so grateful, for the magnificent splendor of nature that surrounds us every day. 
We can only stop and ponder, the total joy and peace it brings our way.

Going Home

How do I find the best road to take me home?
The first decision to be made, I no more want to roam. 

A map to take me there would be the most important 
For surely it will make the trip much shortened 

So whether it be your physical or spiritual home
start your journey today, to see the light of home.
