HOPE FOR THOSE WHO MOURN

 

Tears of sorrow,

are streaming down my face.

Pool of tears lay now,

on my pillow case.

They keep pouring out,

they never stop.

It leaves me torn,

and also worn out.

There's nothing on this earth,

that can fill my void.

So it leaves me stricken,

that I can't avoid.

But I have this hope,

that keeps me going.

My faith stands firm,

even when I'm grieving,

My help comes from the Lord,

that I am certain.

It's not the question if,

but it's about when.

It is God's will,

and done his way.

And in his time,

while I pray.

There's nothing impossible,

when I include him.

God chooses the moment,

when it begins.

WHAT A JOURNEY

 

I packed my belongings,

and left my hometown.

I drove down south,

and looked around.

I asked the Lord,

where I should be?

It was a journey,

God chose for me.

The time it took,

it was worth the wait.

And it all began,

in the summer of 98.

God chose South Carolina,

what a journey it's been.

Including the moment,

I was born again.

When I look back,

my life wasn't easy.

There were tough times,

but God was with me.

In every circumstance,

God helped me through.

I developed perseverance,

and endurance too.

I drew closer to God,

and I abide in him.

I became spiritually stronger,

than way back then.

So my journey continues,

and this I know.

God has a plan,

no matter where I go.

BIBLE AND A PRAYER

 

A father, mother and daughter,

left from a church gathering.

Where they spent time,

praising and singing.

When suddenly a loud pop,

their car blew a tire.

It crashed into a tree,

and it started on fire.

The neighbors heard the sound,

they quickly ran over.

They searched the car,

to find any survivor.

The father didn't make it,

they checked on the mother.

They saw her grab a bible,

and placed it near her daughter.

The mother smiled at her,

and soon she died.

They checked on the daughter,

and found her still alive.

The neighbors prayed together,

for God to help her.

She needed the Lord,

now more than ever.

It's two years later,

she's no longer a teenager.

She goes to church,

and sings in the choir.

Her future is all planned.

she wants to be a teacher.

And she reads the bible,

that belonged to her mother.

LIFE THAT MATTERS

 

Live your life that matters,

let's live for others.

And it all begins,

when we love one another.

Live your life with a purpose,

seek out those in need.

You become a blessing,

for any good deed.

Live your life with good works,

that shows you care.

like I'll be there.

in all you say and do.

Don't be afraid to say,

that I love you.

Live your life with a smile,

do this every day.
