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
It is only in his silence
That I feel HIS strength
HE speaks very loudly
To my trembling soul
HE speaks from HIS FATHER above
WHO sends me never ending Love
Giving me comfort and calm within
So I may tell others HE’S my Friend

I know a guy named Jordan
He works as hard as he can
He will mow and trim your lawn
And manicure it is his plan
He is honest and dependable
Much in demand
I consider him a good friend
And a very nice young man

My feeble strength it seems is not enough
The road approaching the end is so rough
No matter where I turn or where I look
There is only one answer from the Good Book
True Great strength comes from GOD ABOVE
Through HIS ONLY SON JESUS with HIS HOLY LOVE
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

The old farmhouse didn’t seem much at the time.
I was just growing up. Paying most attention to mealtime.
Making memories was just a thing we did.
Just living life, having fun just being a kid.
Going to church every time the doors were swung open.
That’s where the Gospel of His word was spoken.
Memories of Christmases, from days gone by.
Today those memories bring a tear to my eye.
Now it’s my turn to do what my parents did.
Making loving memories with my kid.
Share what GOD has given you
This is HIS perfect plan for you
If you continue to keep what you have
No more will be sent while you live
It’s a true blessing to give to others
That’s what brings love to your brothers
GODS flowing love only continues
When you give it away again and again
This is what brings
True love from within

There’s a River of water that flows through me
It’s Crystal Clear bringing LOVE and Humility
It fills me up with JESUS' warmth and LOVE
Guiding me every day with a hand from above
The further I go the more I see
How GODS HAND is guiding me
Thank you, LORD, for sending this everlasting love
Flowing through the Crystal Clear River from above
I had an old boxer named Joy
I loved to feed her
And watch her play with her toy
We would run and play
And be exhausted
At the end of the day
She loved to sleep beside my bed
I felt protected
From toe to head
We both grew older
She could no longer stand
I had to let her go
To be in God’s hand

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16-16
The weaker we get the stronger we become.
The nearer we draw to GOD on HIS THROAN.
