Have you ever lived on a farm and rendered lard It’s a hot messy job that's done in the yard First comes the fire, then the cast iron kettle Throw in the fat right in the dab gum middle Skim off that old lard and let it get hard Remove the cracklings do not discard Take the lard inside and give to your Grannie She’s gona make some hoe cakes for sweet little Annie Annie gona jump up and run all around She’s gona skip to the Holler shoutin Hoe Cakes y’all come on down June 8, 2022 Mark Waldrop
Do you find yourself hanging on by a thread For the most part, do you feel about half dead Look in the mirror and what do you see Look at yourself and what is ahead for me In great despair with a frown on your face Is there any hope for happiness in any place The answer is not far away from you It’s helping others instead of helping you
I’m a little sparrow His eye is always on me I can’t read But that’s what they tell me I know it’s true what they say I can feel him around me every day I feed my children in the nest I feel so very blest One day when my children leave the nest They will do their very best His eye will be on them all the day He will watch over them the entire way I know this to be true Because HE Watches over Me and You

Feed all the people a wonderful meal Then to be self-sufficient we should feel Having a meal without toil we desire Our existence requires something higher To sustain life we need more than a meal We need a burning desire in our lives to feel Spreading of the WORD Is our Goal in Life Not to succumb to the mountains of strife
There is more violence than ever seen before Maybe it’s our ability to see much more Violence is on the rise that’s for sure For whom ever you ask there is no cure Some say it’s the weapon that is at fault Making of all weapons should not halt Violence originates in the Heart of man Should that be where we start with our plan The Good Book says Love is light, evil is dark Understanding of that is where we should start Mark Waldrop June 5, 2022 These words came to me while watching Face The Nation Sunday morning
We gather here, is a true blessing from GOD Those brought together will surely be awed Bringing those in accordance of mind Bringing those who are very kind The gathering seems to transcend all bounds Bringing TRUE LOVE from where GOD abounds June 6, 2022 Mark Waldrop
I feel I’m going to sin tonight I hope everything will turn out alright That place calling me has no light Somehow It doesn’t feel just right Should I go and get forgiveness later Or should I just tell GOD and be a traitor Either way, I will be in the wrong I guess I’m just not very strong I did say a little Prayer out of despair Oh GOD I don’t know what to do Just HELP me not do what I shouldn’t do A warmth came over me It gave me more pleasure than my sinning would be Thank YOU, LORD for watching over me I’ll try to do better in the future i plea June 6, 2022 Mark Waldrop

There’s just one road to Heaven There’s just one road to hell Just where on that road do you dwell Do you dwell Do you dwell Are you headed for the darkness Are you headed for the light Oh DEAR LORD take me out of this dark night Out of the night Out of the night If you're headed for the darkness of hell Make a 180 turn and head for the light For the light For the light There’s light at the cross There’s light at the cross Just follow the light and you’ll never get lost Never get lost Never get lost The road to Heaven is so smooth and bright, the road to hell is bumpy with no light in sight No light in sight No light in sight Turn around now before it’s way too late Or you’ll miss that Heavenly Golden Gate Golden Gate Golden Gate JESUS is waiting for you at the end of the road To take your burdens and lift your load Lift your load Lift your load The Joy will make your heart swell That is when JESUS will come in and dwell Come in and dwell Come in and dwell You’ve made it home. You’ve made it home. You're now with Jesus never more to roam Never more to roam Never more to roam
