I’ve wandered lost through life’s long corridors
Without one question or list of what-fors
Because my heart’s been laden with a trust
That I must perform the deeds I deem just.
It seems I have not found the circumstance
To change my ways or make a second glance
I heard the angels whisper in my ear
Follow your heart it’s no mistake my dear !
There are some things I’d like to mend
While there’s still time left to defend
Without a drummer or a fife,
The broken pieces of my life
So I may rest before I’m done
To face God’s challenge soon to come.
Our Lord has made His presence known
With every breeze the wind has blown
He is the air which we all breathe
And every tear or sigh we heave.
Be not afraid there in the dark
Though night may seem still, chill and stark
Be glad that you are not alone
Upon the cliff or rock and stone.
God wills each tree to stand or fall
He is the master of them all
Rest easy as your time draws near
God shares with all His love not fear !
Oh where, oh where has Johnny gone
Is he back home upon the farm
Or has he found another way
To guide his life from day to day ?
What do you seek my darling boy
To help you more your life enjoy
What wonder is there left for you
Or miracles that you may do ?
I pray you give it greater thought
That in the web you won’t be caught
And render unto God your King
Obedience in everything !
I sense the world writhes in defeat
As danger lurks on every street
What else is there for us to fear
The day of judgement drawing near ?
Tis now that we must all align
Our actions into God’s design
We’ll use His words to seek the way
And trace His footsteps every day !
Close up the door turn out the light
The fire rages through the night
The world is mad it’s lost its way
There’s nothing more that one can say.
The mob has turned into the norm
Their anger has become the storm
Like Sodom was so long ago
The story told, who does not know.
Why have all been so very blind
There is no answer left to find
It’s too late now life’s gone astray
The end is here you’ve had your day.
Begin again as all must do
With millions gone there will be few !
I have been to the top of the mountain to seek my destiny
I have walked through the valley of shadows to find my clarity
I have begged of the gods above me to silently hear my plea
There on the altar of justice I accept whatever must be !
There is a God He sees it all
How many truly heed his call
We know this God He hears quite well
But oh, the stories He could tell !
For those which think we hidden are
Will glow as brightly as a star
There is no secret left undone
Our God is privy to each one !
Great fools we are to think we’re free
There is no deed He does not see
The price we’ll pay with vig will grow
Depending on the love we show !
Such foolish works my eyes do see
Included in our destiny
We’ll visit Mars and plant a flag
And capture air there in a bag.
We’ll send a rocket into space
Perhaps to seek another place
And all the while back here on Earth
Most human lives have little worth.
I find it hard to understand
The ruling class lives large and grand
When millions die or have no choice
Who speaks for them with honest voice ?
The night is father to the dream
And sanctity to those who scheme
Why is it that it must be so
That in the dark doth evil grow ?
The eyes of God see day and night
Where naught may hide from His keen sight
Thus Adam hid behind the tree
And covered his iniquity
But he was found and paid the price
Hence we have all lost paradise !
The seasons change they come and go
With wind and sun and rain and snow
The years progress both good and bad
With laughs and tears both glad and sad !
Thus life moves on each day aplomb
With no one there to add the sum
Or seek to find the final cost
About our lives and what we’ve lost !
This world that is at war with God
Is the result of spare the rod
For every word that has been writ
Accomplishment for each will fit !
Judge Samson was a man quite strong
With curly locks ever so long,
His hair should never feel a knife
As he was raised a Nazirite !
Tis said he was a foolish manÂ
Preferring pagans to his clan,
Delilah she became his wife
And knew the secret of his life !
She cut his hair a shorter length
To steal away his godly strength,
His enemies they made him blind
Chained him to posts to be unkind !
He begged God’s help, his final plea
Destroy this temple ! Â Set me free !
My mind becomes a time machine
Like Jack, I have this magic bean
It grows and keeps reminding me
Of memories that used to be !
The clarity of where I’ve been
Is clear as I remember when
I wished that I could share this gift
With those who need a mighty lift.
It’s not that truth falls in-between
These cracks that pop-up on the scene
It’s simply that one waits too long
To ponder why good things go wrong !
Perhaps we could retrace our ways
Recalling all those yesterdays
When each of us would stand up tall
Admitting errors great and small !
How many hopes have gone astray
And lost their dreams along the way
How many lives have come undone
And lost their values one by one ?
How many ways have we forgot
To do the right and worry not
We are bereft and lost and cold
How will our future world unfold ?
This we have lost and must demand
The law of God and faith of man !
We do not know, we cannot see
What is the cost of victory,
The war we waged was so much more
What would it take to life restore ?
The years have gone, what used to be
Has changed the path of destiny
There is no way left to explain
The loss of life, the futile pain !
Be sure that wars are endless grief
From which there seems no real relief
We thought it might soon fade away
Not now or next ten thousand days !
Softly, softly, along the way
How much is left for us to say,
What will happen, where will we go
Will time soon stop or grow and grow ?
How soon will this road turn and bend
Our history, where will it end ?
The cause is just, the timings right
We seek that future full of light
And justice for all humankind
With peace the aim we pray to find !
Â
A veil of water clouded earth
Until the time of Noah’s birth
God’s anger rained the deluge down
To cover roof and hill and mound.
Rainbows are there reminding us
His power can be swift and just
Our weakness is that we can’t see
His vision of eternity !
This nation that we love so much
Seems to have lost its common touch
And travels on a road unknown
While seeds of discontent are sown.
This promised land that God has blessed
Has lost its aim, is in distress
Now choosing to deny our faith
By following an avid wraith.
Oh Lord above, please guide our fate
We ask of You, it’s not too late ?
Oh Lord, sometimes I find myself cast adrift
With reason run astray like a miser’s thrift
I cannot understand or comprehend why
My life’s course is set on medium not high.
I’d like to believe that we are all alike,
Walk on four balls while out requires a third strike,
However time will prove that forgiveness waits
Patient there standing outside those pearly gates !
The winter winds do fill my space
They chill my heart and sting my face
The air is like a frigid blast
I hope its strength cannot long last.
The open fields seem bleak with snow
Where do the timid creatures go
When winters length remains too long
And spring delays her joyous song ?
There’s much to learn if we can see
Some pattern in our destiny
That wings to us a message clear
Hold on to faith dispel the fear.
God will not fail He loves us still
We need His care, His word, His will
And if we do all that we should
We’ll find our lives so blessed with good !
We have come to the end of a perilous year
One that’s been filled with deception, anger and fear
We have learned to exist with incredible lies
To put aside our values and cover our eyes.
I’ve been chatting with God in my usual way
Asking for help to get through a very long day
I wish this coming New Year would teach us to be
Once again the bastion of truth, land of the free !
My heart cries out, the pain intense
What life is this devoid of sense ?
Are we all mad or lost our mind
As time moves on what shall we find ?
Is peace a word we’ll disregard,
Which human traits shall we discard ?
I think we’ve had enough of this
The loss of faith and lack of bliss,
It’s time for us to lift our eyes
Ask God to speed mans just reprise !
There’s never time to do the things you’ve always wanted to
Lifes journey seems to just run on until its turn is through.
As prayers are meant to ease the pain for most not only you
So dreams can’t be confined to nights, the days must also do.
While hope springs forth in many ways to help your wish come true
It takes awhile to grow a smile and have a laugh or two.
I never argue with my fate
I don’t complain if someone’s late
For time is such a fragile gauge,
The role it plays upon the stage
Is cumbersome to say the least
Engendering the angry beast
Who rages out against the ways
That bind us up and steal our days.
But time appears to seek no end
It knows no hero nor a friend
And ticks away along our path
Through times of peace and times of wrath.
‘Tis foolish thinking that we can
Alter our lives to fit the plan
This cannot be for all our days
Would better be we mend our ways,
Accept that God’s role is sublime
As He’s the Author of all time.
