Mary had The Little Lamb

Mary had the little Lamb, who lived before His birth;
Self-existent Son of God, from Heaven He came to Earth.

Pains of Rebirth

Search me, know me;
stay away.
I want love and salvation,
but I want it my way.

the cross in the sky

When I say…”I am a Christian”

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I don’t speak with human pride
I’m confessing that I stumble -
needing God to be my guide

Christmas “Unplugged”

And may heaven welcome others
Who will join me in praise
Because I lived for Jesus Christ
Not just on Christmas Days

“But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither…” ~ Psalm 1:2-3a
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season…” ~ 2 Timothy 4:2a

The Night Before Christ-mas Redux Remix Reviz

And there in a cave, in a cradle of hay,
Our Savior was born on that first Christmas Day!
The Father was watching in heaven above,
He sent for His angels, His couriers of love.

If you’ll wait on God,
He WILL guide you through
The heart aches and pain
Into life ANEW!

Loneliness can be Left Alone

Laugh, and the LORD laughs with you;
Weep, for you’re not alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,
But you can have the joy from God’s throne.

There’s work to do, deadlines to meet;
You’ve got no time to spare,
But as you hurry and scurry,
A.S.A.P – Always Say A Prayer.

But to every man there openeth,
A high way and a low,
And every mind decideth,
The way his soul shall go.
