Standup 

Stand up all the children of this world
You are being called to carry GOD’S Flag unfurled 

His Celestial  Army is on the move
To Show His Great Love for all to approve 

It’s Now or Never there’s no time to kill
Joining not you will see the gates of Hell

 Grandma

When you were growing up
Did no one seem to care 
Was there just one person, your burdens you could share

Was that person your Grandma, taking time for you
Always being concerned about what you were going to do

Grandma’s are overflowing with love from above 
That’s their calling in life, sharing GOD’S LOVE

Painted Bunting

The Painted Bunting is such a beautiful bird 
His colors are of the rainbow mark my word

His colors are bright red, yellow, and blue
Shimmering in sunlight their brilliance shines through

He sings such a harmonious happy song 
Howdy-do, Howdy-do, Howdy-do all day long

GOD’S Creation no more Glorious than he
Knowing GOD sent him for just you and me

The Old Home Place 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
The Old Homeplace
Brings back Memories 
Of yesteryear gone by

Children laughing and playing
Grandma’s cooking
And the warm breezes blowing by

Good Memories are cherished forever
How they make time fly
The Old Home Place sheds  a tear in my eye

The old hound dog that slept on the porch
The squirrels up in the trees
The colorful leaves rustling in the breeze

Good times are never meant to be forgotten 
Only cherished with time gone by

That’s why I’ll always remember
The Old Home Place
Of times gone by

 The Ocean

If love is vast like an ocean, how do we set sail
JESUS walked on water and HE did not fail

Maybe HE’S is the one that we are looking for
To guide us to that GREAT far off distant shore

The GOOD BOOK said he had  Faith in HIS FATHER
That’s what gave HIM the ability to walk on water

If we can find enough Faith to hold HIS HAND
It will be an easy walk to that far-off land
