Let Go Completely

Let go completely, Holding on too long
Have the faith in God, He's making you strong

Trust, believe in Him, Keeping you in line
Life's path you shall go, Shaping to, refine

Compose how you think, Go a different way
Open up to life, Living day by day

Come alive and speak, Believing it's so
Let go completely, The best you shall know

Let's Be More Thankful

Let's be more thankful, Every day in life
Not holding grudges, Not causing more strife

Have a giving heart, Thankful in all deeds
Each  life to invest, Sowing better seeds

Then of what we think, More than what we do
Coming up higher, Maneuvering through

With a grateful heart, Expressions from heart
Let's be more thankful, Now, where do we start?

Making Some Changes

Making some changes, In thoughts, words, and deeds
Cease doing old things, Harvest, planting seeds

Long done in season, Set time come, but, how?
Still, cultivating, Pacing things for now

But, in due season, The harvest will show
Forth what then had sown, For what long to know

Jesus, the journey, Having to move on
Making some changes, As each day that dawns

Time For Reflecting

Time for reflecting, Thanksgiving from heart
Being so grateful, Living as God's art

Created by Him, From our mother's womb
Maturing in life, In Jesus in whom

Died to save the world, From death, sickness, sin
Redeeming our souls, Second birth, we begin

New life's journey road, Giving thanks and praise
Time for reflecting, Witnessing our days

Trust God At His Word

Time to turn the page, Look no further there
Leave those things behind, Departure draws near

Head outward in faith, Don't be afraid now
Trust God at His Word, Cease wondering how

Things will come to past, Keep believing still
When don't know for sure, Always got to yield

To God, every day, Knee before His throne
Trust God at His Word, His beauty, be shown

Making Some Progress

Making some process, Sailing day by day
Doing a little, Looking a long way

What needs to be done, Take time to ponder
Let's get organized, No need to wonder

About what to do, But, have a plan made
And work from that page, Pressing, let things fade

Blessings, leave behind, Whatever you go
Making some progress, Reaping what you sow

Look At What You Have

Checking out some things, My life passing by
What to stop doing, No time to deny

People disconnect, Gone another way
Cease doing those things, Sense gone astray

Lost connections, No more need to waste
Looking at what have, I'm not in a race

Live to enjoy life, Though things may be rough
Look at what you have, Think twice, that's enough

Going Much Deeper

Going much deeper, In God, as of now
Moving closer still, Kneeling, face to bow

Nor looking around, Focus and clinging
On Jesus, God's Word, The Hope He's bringing

To make all things new, Becoming alive
On the journey life, Pressing to strive

In all that I do, Seeking, the Savior
Going much deeper, Changing behavior

Looking Straight Ahead

Looing straight ahead, Crossing over soon
Feeing an unrest, But, staying in tune

With the Spirit man, Who's leading the way
Another years comes, Dawning a new day

Awake beginning Create works of art
Clean slant, blank pages Fresh ink, learn by heart

What's right, from the wrong By changing mind set
Looking straight ahead, Another door shuts

Time has gone past us, Years lingering near
Precious memories, In closeness; brings care

For one another, Oh, how good to see
Unity at last, Come joy, let it be

Spread throughout the land, Peace ever lasting
Lift up our voices So, let's start casting

Our burdens to Go, Lighten up the load
Time has gone past us, Heading up the road

Believe That You Can

Believe that you can, Get through life's task
Moving past each day, Continue to ask

Questions, you don't know, Doubting as dismay
Cast care unto God, Believing this day

He knows all your needs, Each concern, He cares
In His kingdom, come, For we are His heirs

So trust in His ways, Doing what He says
Believe that you can, Casting out dismay

Not to worry, still, Thoughts: do others care?
Come when want something, Only time, draw near

Forget about past, Future there to be
In a distant now, No vision to see

How to get in place? Where sent forth to go?
Hoping deep inside God's Spirit come flow

Into my heart, path, Calming down the storm
Not to worry, still, Becoming transform

Needing To Cut Back

Needing to cut back, On things use to do
Spending way too much, Don't need something new

Learn to do without, Using what I got
Having to take back, On things, I do not

Need but, use those things, In my possession
De cluttering life, Things are obsession

Not in control of, What was use to be
Needing to cut back, More clearer, I'll see

Crossed Over The Line

Crossed over the line Passed through new doors
Refreshed, feeling good, Peaceful and much more

To come while going, Onward by the way
Of the cross, land, road Living day by day

Under the shade tree, God with us always
In our suffering, Struggles of dismay

Believe He's coming, Open up to the new
Crossed over the line, God will get you through

In A Brand New Place

In a brand new place, A good feeling too
Not like it's strange, Feel love flowing through

The people who surround With arms, stretching hands
Welcoming me in, Wherever I stand

In all life's issues, In good times, the bad
Feeling God's comfort, Even though when feel sad

A place where I go, It's always the same
In a brand new place Thanking God, He came

All in a days work Still, there's more to do
Thought done all I could Still, didn't get through

With what was needed, Doing this and that
Forgot to do things, Didn't know where at

Until the end of, What was said, not done
Learning to pace self Doing one by one

Ceasing from labor, Set time now, to rest
All in a day's work, Believe done my best

The Dream Lingers On

The dream lingers on, But, been on a pause
Awaken from sleep Excuses, because

The vision been lost, The dreams once spoken
Been long time ago, Through time, got broken

Once alive and well, In hearts, set a flame
Driven by issues, In life, speaking blame

Go back to vision, Re live what was seen
The dream lingers on, To the cross, still cling

Let the moments be, Remember the past
Keep some dreams alive, No more than can ask

Memories linger As each day, gone by
Keep the flame burning, Not asking of why?

Of yesterday task, Or even if how?

To do what's needed, Heed to the present
Let the moments be, Invest time, well spent

Wondering if so, Or if I can see

The good in matters, That come on display

Where He's sending me, Due time will overflow

Seeing with new light, His glory beholds

Changing the focus, Touch of God, don't fear

So, what's now needed? Should we take a stand?
Or remind seated? Whatever at hand

Believing in God, Making right choices

Turning to Jesus, Repenting of sins
Redrawing the line, Trusting God, Amen

See the other side, Of what, couldn't see
Have a new viewpoint, Wonder, what can be?

Come of, what, once was, Into the brand new
Waiting, let's begin, Come, believing through

To the other side, Seeing what couldn't
Blinded by the light, By what we shouldn't

Be thinking, the worst, Not knowing to trust
See the other side, We need not to rush

Clearing Out Some Space

Clearing out some space, Mind set needs to change
No more time to chase, Stepping out, seems strange

From what plan to do, Adjusting, around
And pressings on through, Sensing more abound

Planning what to do, Challenges to make
Depart from that place, Oh, for goodness sake

Matters has to rest, Mind set needs to change
Clearing out some space, Got to rearrange

There's Good In Changes

There's good in changes, By getting off track
Those things use to do, Taking longer, slacks

Doing some things new, Let go of what's past
Trying to keep up, No longer can last

With old crowd, standing, Cease doing those things
Wasting time, effort, No puppet, loose strings

Going to believe, In what's now, to come
There's good in changes Believe, that's awesome

Been doing so long Time to close some doors

Open up new ones Seeking for others

Need not to say more, Been doing so long
Coming to senses Singing some new songs

Resting in quiet, Peace, settling mind
Doing what doing, Believing, it's fine

In presence of God, A safe place to be
From the storms of life, Coming forth, we see

Full and in color, Life's issues at hand
Wishing for the best, How long will we stand?

And when will things end? Remember, to keep
Resting in quiet, Even while, we sleep
