Entering Twenty Twelve

Gathering together
To welcome the new year
People of all nations
Set awaiting to cheer

Standing in the doorway
That moment draws us near
With anticipation
Loud noises, shouts to hear

The sound of a new year
Birthing into being
Welcome to twenty twelve
We're looking forth seeing

A new start beginning
At life we long to see
Entering twenty twelve
Set time, so let it be

Beholding His Word

Set time has come to
Behold in His Word
New things are coming
Heed to what been heard

His kingdom has come
His will now been done
On earth in heaven
Given to His Son

For God is the same
He never changes
As we live our lives
He comes, rearrange

Teaches us to live
Right, the Jesus Way

Great joy, the laughter
How life comes to be

Life At A Crossroad

Suddenly, in life
We hit a crossroad
Decisions to make
Wonder to behold

Not sure, what to do
Nor which way to go
What chances to take
Yet, will this thing flow?

In what are the facts
Crossroads are coming
Through time we must act

Make some decisions
Direction to flow

Choose, which way to go

Reading a story
From yesterday's past
Seeing how things were
Suffering that last

That caused much trouble
Pain in life, it brought
Concerns of others
So they reached out sought

Help for the helpless
Who wasn't able
To do life's duty
Appearing fable

Yet in all life came
Rewards were received
Reading a story
This life can believe

Upon Jesus Christ
Who's Lord, over all
Reading a story

Bring a smile your way
To bring joy in space

Being over looked
Feeling all alone
Not apart of group
Brings chills to the done

Nothing that can do
Waiting in the wings
Not included with whole
Nor in circle's ring

Why Do We Do Things?

Why do we do things
That can bring on harm?
Things we don't mean to
Yet there's an alarm

When we take actions
In fear, than lose heart
We do what we want
Those choices we start

Choose not the right things
We rethink what done
Why did we do that?
Wish not anyone?

In all what happened
We feel so ashame
Why do we do things?
Thinking, who to blame?

All is said and done
We can not erase
Why did we do that?
For we have to face

What will come to be
Doing what we do
Why do we do things?
We act with no clues

Showers Of Beauty

Sleepy in a chair
Nodding as it be
Awaken looking
Out the door I see

On a wall out back
Behold a site came
From a messy wall
Appeared not the same

Before I couldn't see
What was on the wall
But when I awoke
Looking at what saw

Vase, so beautiful
Displayed just for me
Showers of beauty
Such a site to see

Keep With What To Do

Cleaning up a storm
With all this to do
Seems overwhelming
In time, see things through

Taking one section
Put things into place
Seeing the beauty
By having more grace

So just keep at it
Pace what's there to do
Cleaning up a storm

All that looked so hard
Becoming in place
Keep with what to do
Cleaning, not a race

Yet we don't know when

Getting mind off the doubt

Go form where we're at

Giant piles of snow
Standing by the way
Like baby mountains
There for a short stay

Crafted by the wind
What wonder to see
Getting over snow

Sled rides as they come
A postcard beauty
It's a pain for some

In all, God creates
Snow for a reason

Jesus Salvation

Still celebrating
This wonderful day
Jesus came alive
While I came to pray

Inside of my heart
He made Himself known
As I sit and heard
His spoke word shown

His love caught my heart
Like warm liquid joy
Salvation He brings
With faith He employs

Us to believe Him
To be one of His
Jesus Salvation
For all that He is.

Not stuck in the past
Be living life through

Enjoy each moment
As life passes by

Live in this moment
Ever wondered why?

Live In This Moment
Staying On The Journey,Susan

Everlasting Life

The thought of being
Not back in the past

Here right now, presence
Where time seems to last

In what is of good
Pleasant there can be

Everlasting life
Let's live now, Shall we?

God Is Here, Right Now

Awaiting the day
We'll met face to face

Amazing to be
Living in His grace

Thinking so longing
His presence not late

God is her, right now
No longer to wait

Time, Let God Be God

Time to let it go
Hurt that brought shame

Those who walked away
Don't think who's the blame

Time to let God heal
Allow Him to be

God, always is God
Let things go, Let's see

The beauty of God
Who's guiding the way

Time, let God be God
For He is Yahweh

O Such Great Comfort

Remember the past
How things use to be

Joy of becoming
Wanting more to see

Time has change since than
Memories that past

O such great comfort
Good memories last

Leave It All Behind

Leaving it behind
Things that hold us back

Focusing ahead
Moving up this track

That's leading us on
But, where should we go?

Behind is the past
Walking from that flow

Into what's ahead
Shaking off such things

Leave it all behind
With new songs to sing

The Gift Of Delight

Wonderful delight
Fulled with this great joy

Knowing we're beloved
Where our hearts employs

Faith that comes from God
Stirs up, what's in heart

The gift of delight
Helping us to start

Singing Songs Of God

See the joy of God
On going He brings

Into our lifetime
Songs His people sings

Shining So Brigthly

Nice to see the sun
Coming out today

Bringing good cheer from
Cloudy mist display

Warmth within our hearts
Awaits us to see

Beauty of the LORD
Shines for us to be

Light piercing darkness
Going forth each day

Shining so brightly
From the Son, His ways
