What's Going On Here?

What's going on here? Can we get along?
Exploring searching, Lord, what's going wrong

Violence on the streets We can't get it right
Help to do justice Grant us Your insight

We're going astray Don't know what doing
Keep us in Your way In life worth pursing

The way that seems right And grant us to see
What's going on here? Letting some things be

Still Pressing Onward

Still pressing onward This sickness will past
No more worrying What more should be asked?

What will happen next?  For God only knows
What will come of us And the time we'll go

Keep pressing onward Finish out your race
Put faith in Jesus Abide in God's grace

Carry on with life The way that's the best
Still pressing onward In the Lord, and rest

Face The Fear Till End

Face the fear till end Not giving up though
In faith keep standing Through changes we'll grow

As we learn the way The cross we carry
In season and out Things may seem scary

Fight to the finish Though trials are many
Testing more than few For if there's any

That's been over looked Keep standing, Don't quit
Face the fear till end Don't fall in the pit

Looking At School Year

Looking at school year Report card all that
What I did back then And where I was at

In my childhood days How I made it through
Not speaking too much With all things to do

What was required For a child those days
In making good grades Not going astray

Be a good worker Listen to what's said
Looking at school year How I got ahead

On This Life's Journey

Resting up in bed It's been a long week
Into my fifties The LORD whom I seek

On this life's journey Rethinking, my past
Still learning from ways Taking off the mask

Seeing what has come Not returning there
Learning good lessons Having more to bare

Thinking what has past And learning from ways
On this life's journey With God all my days

Stormy Weather Comes

Stormy weather comes Middle of the night
Awaken by noise That brought on a fright

Loudly, the sound came While sleeping in peace
Flashing of lightening The noise did increase

All I did was prayed As the moments past
Hoping storm would end It wasn't a blast

To ride out the night Through what's going on
Stormy weather comes We must wait upon

Taking Some Time Out

Needing some more rest Shalom, peace in mind
Relaxing the soul Wholeness there's to find

Pleasing in moments Taking the time out
To self everyday Going in about

What needing to do Come to that one place
In quietness still Filling in the space

Where peace can come in Relaxing the soul
Taking some time out God fills in the hole

Into The Unknown

On my journey way Into the unknown
With Jesus near by May insight be shown

In times of despair Needing a new way
Hoping to be soon Not going astray

Comforting Spirit Tender loving care
In times of what need No time to shade tears

Believe, trust in God On your journey way
Into the unknown Continue as we pray

Crossing a milestone My heart yield to yearn

Reflecting Back On

Reflecting back on Journey been so long
In the making, here Building faith up strong

Believing life changed Not as much in fear
Have some trembling, Believe God is near

Whatever gone through Whatever may go
God is so faithful Even when; don't know

Keep on believing In thoughts, let things be
Reflecting back on Such beauty you'll see

Starting Up Anew

It's that time again Starting up anew
Life is in session Learning to go through

Each year passing by Review where I'm at?
Seeing the new growth How I become that?

Yet, is it worth it? Changes draw nearer
Setting up places Sight becomes clearer

Looking at the past Letting some things go
Starting up anew Going with the flow.

Look Into The Light

An aerie feeling Having this weird dream
Looked in the darkness Sensing a loud scream
How odd in doing The darkness moved away
The Light was guiding As Jesus displays

Drawing near to Him When darkness brings fear
Trying to scare us Yet the Light is clear
Exposing the dark In all of its lies
Look into the light Where Jesus, abides

Mystery Searching

Mystery searching In finding out more
Who's in this picture? Who do I look for?
Having little clues A name and a place
That's all that I have And not making waste

But, searching to see All that I can find
Seeing connections My wondering mind
Piecing the puzzle For more I can see
Mystery searching Oh, who could this be?

Expressing Likeness

Let's communicate In words and in deeds
Expressing likeness As we plant more seeds
Of goodness, mercy Shinning forth His light
For others to see God beautiful sight

Be faithful, be true Witnessing the faith
In Jesus not the world Foundation His base
In loving, Lord God With all of our hearts
Expressing likeness Doing our own part

How Long Can This Be?

How long can it be? Getting weary still
Very little help That's bringing this feel
Lesser the weaker In what I need to
Doing less myself Working to get through

Needing to slow down In life now living
Trying to do right In all my giving
No matter what do Getting weary still
How long can this be? Dear Lord, please refill

Come And Celebrate

Come and celebrate The goodness here in
Each day brings a lift From where we have been
Jesus made the way Set the captive free
Life is eternal For God let it be

Given through Jesus We belong to Him
Live life through Jesus We're His treasured gem
Gift so freely gives Where we long to be
Come and celebrate Lord, set us all free

Amazing Divine

Wonder of His love Amazing divine
His love that's in us So rightly define
How we're so beloved To love another
Our neighbors, strangers Sisters our brothers

Reflecting His light As He guides us through
Sickness and in health And in all we do
Jesus still loves us Yes, He always will
Amazing divine Believe that God heals

Life Through The Stages

Entering, stories Told long time ago
Jesus crucified Buried with below

The Father's glory His image we see
Christ like reflections We ought there to be

Believing, be changed Transformed each day
As we're awaken We're needing to pray

Share Gospel story Told through the stages
Jesus died for us Christ, Rock of ages

Awaiting To See

Awaiting to see The place I so love
Wearing not a mask As I wonder of
How the sunlight shone Through the window clear
Lighting up the room God's presence is here

Where His Spirit dwells This secret place on high
Heaven so close, still, Glazing to the sky
Believing in Him That day drawing near
Awaiting to see, Jesus Christ, no fear

Still Remembering

Still remembering Such joy came that day
Spirit upon me Funny kind a way

Just singing a song With praise on my lips
Getting into song As my spirit flips

Something within me Acting out the words
In front of a crowd Seems to be absurd

I shouldn't do this Oh, what have I done?
Composing myself Before everyone

Trusting, believing In God's only Son
Still remembering All that God has done
