Why did God create me
For suffering
He that loves silver won't be satisfied with silver
Not rich towards God
I give myself away
In a need to slow down Psalm forty-four
For the sons of Korah
Two choices
Loud Dead or crazy living music
Yet to face
We have a tendency to say I promise
I'll be good if you bail me out of this one
And so it's time to repent
And use affluence for eternal influence
Jesus, I pray for some kind words
In all of this talk about redemption
Time to go back to the Psalms for consolation
So that I might write from the heart....




Take Your Time
11-24-15

Take your time and write from the heart
Today I suffer for Jesus
In that He did it all for me
Trouble with earthly thinking
It's cat eat cat out here
Mediocre, lo, is what I seek
Hear my prayer O. Lord and give ear unto my cry
I accept myself just the way I already am
Lasagna instead of ham
Brother John shows up
As if by some alchemy
First nine Psalms only seeming to be T.M.I.
Jesus save me to step out of the boat
As so I hold here and now the high note.....





I'm Begging You To Stay
11-24-15

There were walls beside those columns
And pillars and page fillers
Praise you Jesus for today
For this hour, for this minute
I moderate the volume
A run in from your window
Beside myself for a good cause
Jesus says, don't worry about it
Dressing myself in blue and grey
As I'm begging you to stay
Smitten like a lost kitten
For dear life I pray
Like more than the meat
Body more than the raiment
Hearken unto the voice of my cry
I will both lay me down in peace
Don't say you can't
Because I know you will
A living to get
A life to give....
