Our tears are flowing down like rain
With cheeks pressed hard on window pane
Each throat is tight and cannot breathe
And struggles hard to find relief.
The madness now does seize us all
From sources which demand our fall
Our hearts are dying one by one
When will this agony be done ?
This land of beauty and great wealth
Our citadel of strength and health
Is under seige by evil force
Oh Captain, do reverse this course !
We view our lives through tainted eyes
Because this world is bathed in lies
Real faith exists in truth alone
Since hearts of men oftimes are stone.
Though many strong are honor bred
While others bask in shade instead,
How sad that we discover late
Powers we hold o’er our own fate !
Oh see the wind rage through the trees
Like rolling waves on angry seas
Above those masts that rise so high
As giant arms reach for the sky
They swing and sway to touch each cloud
While seagulls screech and cry aloud.
Give me the strength to pass the test
And courage to survive the rest
How many dreams have come and gone
That we have pinned our hopes upon
To find at last we shall succeed
Because our love exceeds our need !
The times are come, the words are said
The hope for peace too soon is dead
The evil that controls this earth
Is fighting now for all it’s worth.
The life we know from birth to grave
A gift from God, our souls to save
He does not fail, not ever still
For in the end, all do His will !
Here in the silence of the night
One finds the courage and the might
Of all that’s proffered in His sight
By God whose judgement is the Light !
I stand by God and all He means
He fills my heart and all my dreams
He is my Hero over all
I answer ever to His call
It matters not where I shall go
For I am His till end times show !
We must believe that nature’s force
Will have its way and run its course
For we are victims of each storm
But who knows where or in what form ?
I’d like to think the world is round
With changing seasons that abound
Midst mountains that are peaked in snow
And hills that meet with fields below
With every type of plant and leaf
To pique our brain and find relief.
There is one God, He is Supreme
And is the answer to each scheme
No matter what our nature brings
God’s the reason our earth still sings !
It is quite tiresome when one stops to think
The world outside waits trembling on the brink
We may all wish there was another way
To blink our tears and sadnesses away.
But how can we effect a change indeed
When most struggle with this same care or need
Oh faint of heart, who lack the push to start
Back up your strength and all your will impart !
The stars that shine across the sky
All glow so bright when passing by
I wonder if God’s angels see
His patterns and diversity ?
Do angels go to sleep at night
And waken to the morning’s light
Or do they fall asleep at all
While awaiting God’s beck and call ?
This universe is God’s command
He rules it all with heart in hand !
Oh hallelujah, jump for joy
Because we must our faith employ
To keep us on the proper track
And help us get our mojo back.
Believe in truth it paves the way
To richer, finer, better days
Stand up and let your banners fly
You may reach out and toucn the sky !
I see the rain now tumbling down
Like teardrops rushing to the ground
The Power it accompanies
Is Parent to all plants and trees.
How splendid is the light He brings
To all of this world’s living things
For even mountains rise with time
While valley levels will decline,
How wonderful it is to be
Creations of God’s Entity !
The earth it rumbles, the mountain quakes
The land around it shivers and shakes
The air is silent and seems intense
With no place left for one’s own defense.
The bells ring out, hear the warnings toll
The world now plays a dangerous role
While the lives of those who mill about
Are filled with fear and tremble with doubt
Pray nature’s fury spares all our lives
With God’s help His compassion survives !
The Lord can see right to the core
He knows what each is searching for
He follows as we wend our way
Through every moment of the day
I’d like to think He gave us choice
To opt for faith and raise our voice
In praise of those powers that be
Who’ll guide us to eternity !
There is no way to halt the sun
Until life’s time on earth is done
And so we praise its warming rays
Else what would light our every days ?
This system is God’s master plan
We comprehend as best we can
He is the Lord and Leader too
And what He bids is what we’ll do.
It matters not if we agree
He rules for all eternity !
The pendulum moves side to side
It is a somewhat boring ride
And doesn’t variate a bit
When in the rut where it does fit
And that’s a lesson to be taught
About this web in which we’re caught.
Sometimes it may be truly fine
When one decides to tow the line
However that does not preclude
A change in venue or in mood
For each must have freedom of choice
So they may exercise their voice !
Oh how I love to hear the rain
It helps me feel so whole again
And when raindrops splash on my face
I think I could win any race.
I’m sure it’s best when all is mist
You feel as though you’re being kissed
Caressed by unseen angels there
Who show us each how much they care.
The rain is like the precious touch
Of all that’s gone we miss so much
I wish that I might just reach out
To give a hug, a squeeze, a shout,
Most rain reminds me what I’ve lost
My Lord You know the price it cost !
I hear the wind so wild and cold
It shares a chill quite brash and bold
And struts its sound beyond the storm
Oh how I wish I could get warm.
I’d guess the forests need to sleep
While gusty winds do clean and sweep
It is a job of giant length
And needs to work at high pitch strength
For God owns all the powers that be
And is the boss of you and me !
I love You Lord, You are my strengths
I’d follow You to any lengths
You are courage and made me strong
And in Your care I do belong.
I am with You where ere You go
Through summer storm or winter’s snow
And when I die remember this
I beg of You, one parting kiss !
A force now rises in the east
To calm the anger of the beast
The winds of change will power divest
And merit fortune in its quest
The time has come, the hour is near
To charm the crowd and vanquish fear !
The more I see the more I think
This world it totters on the brink
Seems no solution has appeared
The final outcome is quite clear
We’re on the eve of some attack
How shall we win our freedom back ?
I hear the sound of our retreat
We need to get back on our feet
Stand up for what you know is right
We can’t afford to lose this fight !
Looks like it’s time to settle in
Time for a game of bridge or gin
Perhaps we could do Scrabble too
I’m pretty good at words, are you ?
Of course I’d rather be outside
But there’s no place that we can hide
The weather is not playing fair
And drizzle’s raining ev’rywhere !
It seems to me that nature rules
Things that we do, tools that we use
This happened aft the world became
Under the dominance of Cain !
Blessed is He
Lord of the land
King of the sea
Desert and sand,
Both field and sky
All fish that swim
Creatures that fly
Are made by Him
Those at His call
Four-legged or two
Wide, short or tall
Purposed for you !
The hopes of a nation are at stake
Our country’s heart is ready to break
See the facade of all that we are
No more a dream but a falling star.
It matters little what we desire
Because we are a people afire
The disease is swift consuming all
Hypocrites stand awaiting the fall !
My heart has cried too many tears
Through all those lean and lonely years
When God alone was my one hope
The only way I learned to cope.
I can’t forget He helped me through
Sad days that were both grim and blue
Without His love there’s no success
And life can be too full of stress.
I’m glad that He was always there
To lift my pain, my burdens share
I know that I am not alone
God is my Rock, my healing stone !
I believe that life has levels of
Concern and care, devotion and love
They are with us for a lifetime long
And range from the meek to ever strong.
Perhaps some require a stouter voice
To channel the option of their choice
One must not accept that all is lost
Or believe that failure is the cost,
Stand up and shout or cheer if you will
And know that your God is with you still !
Now I have met the devil and fought him hand and fist
There is no way I wouldn’t, by strength and with great risk
The battle left me empty and yearning for a rest
I shall arise tomorrow if I survive this test !
I hear the wind it speaks to me
It’s hollow voice drones endlessly
The sound it makes is dark and deep
It has not learned to silence keep.
The power echoes in my mind
Where is this peace I sought to find
Perhaps I’m lost, I don’t know where
But for today, I do not care !
Sometimes a knock upon the door
Awakens us to joy in store
My dearest girl reach deep inside
For that is where your courage hides.
Just take a chance, reach out right now
And you will learn to take a bow
Perform you must no matter what
Let’s show the world the power you’ve got.
Now walk erect and make a stand
Reach out to lend a helping hand
Know God is always there for you
He loves you so, His love is true !
