Sometimes the ones we love the best
Are those who put us to the test
They try our patience or our purse
We’re never sure which is the worst.
We carry on with fingers crossed
And pray our purpose won’t be lost
No matter how hard it all seems
Rely on God to save our dreams !
There’s a tugging on my heartstrings
The sound of Christmas music brings
Old memories that fill my brain
Are here to haunt me once again.
I can’t forget the times long gone
Those dreams that we depended on
How much time have we yet to wait
Before we meet at Heaven’s Gate ?
What is it I can do for you
Encouraging each wish comes true,
Seeking for you a safer place
Increase the smile upon your face ?
How may I ease your weary day
Help chase your fearful cares away
Decrease the lonely burden of
A life’s existence without love ?
Is there some joy that I may gift
Ensuring you that spirit’s lift
And promise that I shall try hard
To be there as you search for God !
There is this sadness I can’t shake
Sometimes I feel my heart shall break
I’ve trod so many paths to find
Some place where fears safely unwind.
Since I have been a little child
With conscience and a manner mild
I’ve tried to be my whole life through
To all my hopes and dreams true blue.
Somehow that’s never quite enough
Because life’s road is long and tough
The battle wages on and on
With only sand to build upon !
How much is it I loved you, like flowers loved the gentle rain
As soldiers loved the glory of those great battles won or gained
How can I explain God’s miracles and that which I’ve now learned
The fervor of His majesty into our hearts has been burned.
There is no other answer and to seek one would be in vain
For all we pray, we know there is not a chance we’ll meet again
I’ve promised you my darling, we shall not e’er run out of time
As long as you remember why and for whom we’ve been consigned !
I’ve often thought how sad it is
To figure out what’s mine, what’s his
This world was not born yesterday
Nor will its strength fade fast away
But lingers long upon the mind
To seek the answer we need find.
Among those stars in distant sky
There bides a path that each must ply
And as the trail now waxes old
Before its impetus grows cold
Let’s bind our fears and make new friends
Learn how the final story ends !
There was a place we used to go
When I was small so long ago
A spot straight out of storybooks
Beside a beach with coves and nooks.
A happy home for waves and sand
Of salt and sea aside the land
My childhood summers I recall
They were the very best of all.
With mom and dad, pop, nana too
Those days of summer quickly flew
I learned to swim right off the dock
Clock hands grew wings, tick tock, tick tock.
Oh, how I wish I had a way
To live again that yesterday
Without the need to say goodbye
Real love’s ne’er built upon a lie !
The time is now, the end appears
We can’t escape, the climax nears
Tis karma for the empty years
We are prepared to face our fears !
Like the ashes from the ember
We have promised to remember
Will it last this way forever
I can hear the answer, never !
We are a generation praying peace will come
Meant for God’s entire world not only but for some
We are here dreaming miracles will light our way
With the arrival of each bright and newer day !
There is a song the people sing
That praises God and glories bring
It is a hymn from times long gone
That we have pinned our hopes upon.
A darkened hill, a blood soaked cross
The ugly terror of our loss
A day that one cannot forget
That caused earth’s early sun to set.
It rent the temple’s curtain break
As trembling earth did mighty quake
While God to man anger displayed
Christ’s vow to us had long been made !
And so it is that what we seek
To calm the poor, the mild, the meek
Are promises we all must keep
Before we to great futures leap !
Tis sad that we who work so hard
Confirm our faith, believe in God,
Must shield ourselves from Satan’s might
Or cower under power’s fright.
It seems our world is threatened by
This league of rogues both low and high
Who bar the path that we must take
To save our values or forsake.
As for myself, I’ve one reply
I chose my God, He is the guy !
Tomorrow is a promise that we make everyday
Believing that the morrow is always on its way
It’s our hope for the future and one that we all share
But for some, those tomorrows may never breathe the air
No guess that time or consequence or evidence show
How much of tomorrow each of us may ever know !
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 !
What does one do when dreams are crushed
And turned into a heap of dust
That leaves us all beyond our aim
With broken hearts and vanquished fame ?
Conquistadors and noble knights
You’ve heard their tales of valiant fights
And heroes who rest in their grave
Had visions that they died to save !
While we who are the bottom rung
Have simpler aims and hopes unsung
We beg our Lord to understand
And help us reach the promised land !
