Oh how I wish that I had wings
To fly up high where angels sing
And visit in their choir loft
As day begins, the light is soft
How sweet and clear their voices are
The notes ring out both near and far.
Oh how I pray that I might be
A part of their community
Just think of all the joy we’d share
If somehow I could tarry there
Truth is that cannot be the case
Cause I’m part of the human race !
Oh my dearest angel wherever you may be
My arms still long to hold you ever close to me
The years may come and go and never shall we meet
Until the final day, perhaps on heaven’s street
And if that day can’t happen, I shall understand
That all I have prayed for falls under God’s command !
AMEN.
Come dance with me, the moon is bright
Stars are alive, a wond’rous sight
The creatures in the meadows sleep
Filled with the sounds of nature deep
The world is ours for ages past
Let’s pray to God that it will last !
AMEN.
Too many dreams have gone astray
Or run aground along the way
Too many hopes have disappeared
In clouds of rising silent fear
Think positive in all you do
Your endless faith will see you through !
Tis Sunday morn a day of rest
Enjoy the day and dream your best
Pick up the pieces if you care
And be assured that He is there !
There is a numbness I can feel
Somehow I think it can’t be real
It just won’t leave, try as I may
However long do feelings stay ?
The sun peeks out from behind each cloud
A chorus of birds all sing aloud
While the air about still smells as sweet
The wind has mellowed and is discreet.
What a perfect day just fore the storm
Where life as we know it is quite norm
Let’s carry on as we have before
And pray the Lord stands Guard at our door !
The air is still, one feels the heat
This life we know faces defeat
The rule of law used as a pawn
Will disappear before too long
The change will come more silently
As we accept reality
Let’s bow our heads, pray fears depart
And beg of God a brand new start !
The morning mist has melted away
Seems God’s sun has decided to stay
Looks like we’re in for a blessed day
With time to enjoy, give thanks and pray !
I love you Lord and know you hear
My every dream, my every fear
Tis sad that life is far too short
For all the wishes we have sought.
But as for me and all my kin
The doors are open please come in
We’ll pray with joy and beg You stay
Within our hearts day after day !
The bells are ringing, hear the sound
It’s Sunday morning all around
Another chance to speak with God
I have not ever found that hard !
In fact the total truth should be
It’s my sweetest activity
So I continue every day
From morn to night, a time to pray.
I know that God is always there
He rarely misses any prayer
Be not afraid, make it your quest
Just cross you heart, God knows the rest !
I am a simple gardener along life’s verdant way
I’ve seen the flowers come and go and know they shall not stay
Fact is our lives are seasonal and vary day by day
I hope that we may settle soon and clasp our hands to pray !
At times I’m lost, deep in a trance
And searching for another glance
To prove that life will still advance
To some safe place one takes a stance
I’m wishing that this may enhance
The chances of our last romance !
The angel tears fall all around
They sigh as each drop hits the ground
While heaven’s angels softly cry
The darkened times echo their sigh.
Can you guess why it seems so sad
This day recalls the death He had
Reminding us the hope that’s given
By our blest Lord as He has risen !
Oh little ones do you hear this song
If you know the words, please sing along
Greetings to you on this brand new day
How I wish that we could meet and play !
Do you think the morning sun will show
Or shall we have one more day of snow ?
Perhaps you might add an extra prayer
Please save us from this chill winter air !
We’ll be so grateful to greet the sun
And free at last as we gaily run,
We can stretch our legs and laugh out loud
And savor the joy of springtime’s cloud
If we are lucky the sun will shine
To leave the cold and our cares behind !
If you feel lost, misunderstood
Divorced from God, devoid of good
Perhaps your prayers can interfere
And help your faith become more clear !
Whate’er you do there is this fact
Your poor behavior will detract
From any help you may receive
If you continue to deceive !
For God’s all seeing, ever kind
You need to leave your angst behind
His grace is there reach out your hand
Beg His mercy He’ll understand !
Oh Lord, walk with me, we’ll go hand in hand
Across that sad beach in some foreign land
Our journey is swift, return we may not
But that long ago day can’t be forgot.
While the time fades away into the past
The lesson we learned is one that won’t last
Just turn around to observe where we are
Sadly you’ll see that we haven’t come far !
I’d like to be a pachyderm with trunk so ever long
Or if I was a nightingale I’d woo you with my song
And if I were a camel I might cross the desert wide
But if I was a pony I could give each child a ride.
Now if I were a seagull I might fish upon the beach
Or if I were an eagle on a treetop I would screech
Yet if I were an owl I might just be the wisest bird
But most of all my wish is that each prayer I’ve said is heard !
