Requests
10-11-10

I'd like to be able to slow down
And seize the beautiful day
And forget about the time on my wrist
I'd like to enjoy all good things God made
And take my low test coffee for its steam and mist
I would like to open up my hands to strangers
And cease to make a fist
I'd like to open up my bible
And by God's grace get the gist
All of these things, to me are given
When I make petition with belief.....




A Lucky One
10-11-10

My cat with her dexterous paw
Kicked out an old cigarette out from underneath my sofa
So I keep it for a lucky one
As it might just be too stale to smoke
It's funny the way these things take place
As I look ahead to things I am yet to face
Given the victory every time by God's grace
Time for another cold bottle of water
To flush out toxins and cleanse my throat
Trying to remember that we're all in the same boat
It's wonderful the way that things have a way of working out....




Part Of Our Faith
10-11-10

Needing to leave our warmth of Indian summer behind
To adapt and to cope
And consider the course of things
To come to look forward to springtime with hope
No longer afraid of the devil nor his name mentioned
This part of life is part of the faith just as well
To know that music didn't put Jesus on his cross
Nor will it take us to hell
And all that will matter in the end
Is the love we have given away
And what we learned by our faith.....
