Goodbye
With dignity honor and grace
Let us gather in this hallowed place
To cherish a life and remember a love
To give their soul to the lord above
On this hill, with a glorious view
Rest is provided for those we knew
May the gates of Heaven open wide
Angels with trumpets on either side
It is time for me to say goodbye
And in my heart you shall abide

Soul Fight
I will not fall down
I will not fall back
I will stand my ground
For the next attack
The devil is armed
With misery and grief
I look to the LORD
For my relief
As the devil pounds
At the door of my soul
Almighty GOD
Will keep me whole

Love Storm
Raindrops down the window pane
Sound of thunder fills the air
A storm of confusion in my head
My heart is in despair
Wind is howling the rain is heavy
On and on it rages
My soul to you was an open book
You tore out all the pages

Mystery Woman
My body reacts as you come into view
My brain scrambles at the thought of you
I love your hair and the way that you walk
My tongue gets so tied I can’t even talk
We share no words or a single greeting
You pass me by, the moments are fleeting
You don’t know my name or even how I look
But I learned more from you then any book
For I went to that spot for several days in a row
The days turned to months and you never did show
I learned to act upon my hearts desires
To seize every moment before it...
My brain scrambles at the thought of you
I love your hair and the way that you walk
My tongue gets so tied I can’t even talk
We share no words or a single greeting
You pass me by, the moments are fleeting
You don’t know my name or even how I look
But I learned more from you then any book
For I went to that spot for several days in a row
The days turned to months and you never did show
I learned to act upon my hearts desires
To seize every moment before it...

Missionaries Prayer
O Lord how I love thee
For I cannot count the ways
Please keep me in your counsel
All the rest of my days
Many miles do I travel
Many people do I speak
For those who do not know you
Help me to bless the ones that seek
Your word is like a river
With a never ending flow
Your love is my comfort
With a never ending glow
When my work makes me weary
Help me to believe
When I walk the straight and narrow
Your blessings I receive
Although I miss my family
And the city...
For I cannot count the ways
Please keep me in your counsel
All the rest of my days
Many miles do I travel
Many people do I speak
For those who do not know you
Help me to bless the ones that seek
Your word is like a river
With a never ending flow
Your love is my comfort
With a never ending glow
When my work makes me weary
Help me to believe
When I walk the straight and narrow
Your blessings I receive
Although I miss my family
And the city...

My Journey
Lest I stumble, lest I fall
Let me beseech thee and answer thy call
From the lowest Valley to the highest peak
True salvation I do seek
May my faults not be fatal
Let your strength shine through
In my darkest hour LORD
Let me find you

My Mother
You Carried me through labor
You Endured my birth
Giving me life
You brought me to this earth
From your bosom
You gave me milk
I remember the hands
That felt like silk
You dressed me, you fed me
You combed my hair
Through the tantrums and crying
You were always there
In this world, there is no other
There is no one like MY MOTHER

Deja Vu
When hope is exhausting
All you feel is despair
The sand in the hourglass
Has turned to thin air
Your concept of time
Gets lost in a rhyme
Your questions have no answers
Your answers don’t make sense
You already know the story
Without a hint of suspense
You have been here before
Perhaps in a dream
It's a place called Deja vu

Inspite
I wish i may
I wish i might
I wish i may in spite
In spite of my troubles
In spite of my past
In spite of the addiction
That seems to last
I am on a journey
To climb a mountain
Seeking change and glory
From the knowledge fountain
long nights and tired days
Working hard in many ways
Ups and downs
may come and go
What's in your heart
will surely show
Now my victory is within reach
To countless others i will teach
In spite of the pain and misery
In...

A True Victory
Take something that caused you woe
Use it to sow
The seeds that help you grow
Then you can be glad
For the wisdom you had
To see the need
For such a harvest

Dark Road
Down the dark road, my addiction lives
I can’t seem to forget the address
It sits right there, in the back of my mind
Reminding me, of stolen time
Like the sands of an hourglass becoming grains of salt
The bitterness creates a mountain
Try as i may, i work with might
I wake up sweating on a sleepless night
My resolve is hardened, my fist a rock
I pray for a breakthrough
