Never Alone

Although I may be the only person in a room
I am never alone
While I sit in the silence with noone to talk to
I am never alone
What to some may seem to be a time of lonliness and boredom
To me is a time of reflection and prayer
What to some is an unending deafening silence
To me is unending adoration and praise
For you see when all my earthly friends walk out
God and his angels walk in
And when the noise of this world has been silence
It's God's still small voice I hear
It's in these times with noone around
I lift my heart and voice in song
Praise you Father for your gift of Jesus
For with Him I am never alone.

A Beginning Thru An Ending

Thru tear stained eyes they watch
As their precious loved on slips away
From life upon this sinful earth
To the blessed land of eternal day
It's hard for them to let go
Of this one they hold so dear
Although they know she's better off
They selfishly want them here
To humans death seems final
An ending not happy but sad
But this is only partially true
It depends upon the lifestyle you've had
If you've rejected the Son of God
And lived your life to please only self
You will live for all eternity
And ending that leads to Hell
But if you've accepted God's precious gift
Your heart can joyfully sing
For when you breathe your final breath
It's not the end - life for you is just beginning

Mother by Choice

There is a group in our churches
Who are overlooked each year
But they are still just as needed
As the mothers we hold dear

This group of women vary
In their age appearance and size
But they are seen as loved
When viewed thru a child's eyes

Perhaps they are a woman
Unable to bear a child to term
Or a single woman who
For a husband and children yearns

Although these women haven't
Been given children from above
They've become surrogate moms for your kids
Out of abundant love

Thru Sunday School and VBS
Children's choir and the nursery rocking chair
They mother the church's children
With the utmost love and care

VBS - Our Very Best Service

It's not just for kids
This VBS thing
For no matter your age
Joy it will bring

Our Very Best Service
To Jesus our King
Is commanded of us
In Galations 5:13

You may say you're too old
For Vacation Bible School
But age is not a factor
When God gives you the tools

Now is the time
To kneel down and pray
Lord, what part in our VBS
Would You have me to play?

For it's not just the fun and games
Or the little songs we sing
VBS is the Very Best Service
To our God we can bring

The Touch

Sometimes you can barely feel it
The touch from Heaven above
A stirring down deep inside you
A loving, gentle nudge

Other times you can't escape it
It's upon you both day and night
The hand of reproof upon your shoulder
Guiding from wrong towards right

This touch of God upon your life
Is a marvelous wonderful thing
It's there upon all God's children
Discipline, love and comfort to bring

It guides you to salvation
Gives comfort when you are sad
And the love you feel from this touch
Is the greatest you'll ever have

Can you feel His touch this day
Is His hand touching you
Accept His gift of salvation
Try and see all He will do

Carry Her Light

On December long ago
Was born an ordinary girl
Noone would've guessed this tiny child
Would one day change the world

As she grew she was known
By the pranks and tricks she played
But one day a change came forth
When her heart to Jesus she gave

The Lord placed upon her heart
A drawing need to go
To Tengchow, China as a missionary
His love for them to show

She gave all she had to those there
She gave her very life
What more perfect example of God's love
In a human could we ever find

Today we honor the memory
of Charlotte "Lottie" Diggs Moon
With a yearly offering to fund
What our foreign missionaries do

Lottie Moon lit her candle in
China all those years ago
Will you give this Christmas to light yours
Send your candle to go

Carry her light and her message of
God, His Son & His Love
Until the day when face to face
We'll meet Lottie in Heaven above

When I Saw You

I saw you as you went about your day
As you complete dall your many tasks
I saw you as you went to and fro
But did you see me I wanted to ask

I saw you as you took a stroll
Thru a garden of flowers kissed by dew
I marveled as I watched your face
That none of them were as beautiful as you

I watched you as you took some time
To talk to a little child
The gentle way you treated them
Made my heart with love to swell

I watched you as you sat alone
And watched the evening sky
So boldly painted by the seetting sun
Your face shone in its fading light

I watched you as I hung alone
Upon a wooden cross
I looked out thru the ages of time
Making sure your sould would not be lost

I watch you now from my Heavenly home
And wait by my Father's side
For the day when I shall hear Him say
My Son, go get your bride

I'll watch for you that glorious day
As I claim you as my Bride
I'll bring you back to the kingdom of God
And forever you'll be mine
