My Best Friend

In Honor Of Mother's Day

My Best Friend

 She brought me into this world

And sometimes I wonder why

She almost gave her life for me

Yeah, that night she almost died

CHORUS:

1v But….

2v And….

4v.Cause since that day she’s always been

The one I go to, my best friend

The one that drove me everywhere

And though I didn’t always realize it

She’s always been right there; My best friend

She held me tight and wiped my tears

Tucked me in, sang away my fears

Fed me throughout all these years

And I never realized

She was my best friend

Now that I’m all grown up and gone

I realize how much I miss my mom

How much she really means to me today

I can still feel her warm em-brace

He Was My Rock

I know it isn't Father's Day yet, but my Dad's birthday is on the 18th April so I thought I'd post this song in his honor. I am by no means a good song writer and I haven't put music it to it, but it came to me so I wrote it down. If anyone can put music to it I'd love to hear it. :)

He Was My Rock

He was always there to hold me when I cried

He was always there to tuck me in at night, 

He was always the strongest one in my life

He was my rock and I pushed him aside, 

Chorus:

Like a rock he stood solid

Like a rock he held his ground

When I ran out on what he taught me

He waited for me, to come around

I'm sorry now, I never noticed.

He was my rock 

He never judged me for decisions that I made

He always loved me, never was to quick to blame, 

I still remember all he taught me and the lessons that I learned

I just wish I would have noticed, he was my rock, 

And now that I'm grown up, and he's not always near

I miss his smiling eyes and good advice

and I wish that I had realized, 

he was my rock 

Love in Heaven

As I think about all the different conferences/denominations of churches in our world to day I am at times dismayed be the actions of my fellow believers. Why do we not heed the second greatest command in God's Word? Why do we not love our neighbor as ourself? Why do we have strife just because we do not attend the same church or belong to the same denomination? I do not care what church you belong to. If you are not teaching a doctrine contrary to the word of God then you are my brother and I love you. I may not always agree with the way your church does things or their way of administration but I love you because you are my brother. The following article was emailed to me recently. I found it very thought provoking. If we cannot love each other on earth how will we love each other in Heaven? I believe we need to be filled with a Heavenly love. 

Love In Heaven

 One of the wonders of heaven is that we will have an increased capacity for love. Couples will be many times more in love with each other than they ever were on earth. In comparison, their earthly love will seem as tame as a ‘romance’ between five-year-olds. And yet the astounding thing is that everyone else in heaven will thrill this former couple as utterly as they thrill each other. Everyone will be so head-over-heels in love with everyone else as to render unthinkable an exclusive relationship such as marriage.

In heaven you will have unbelievable closeness with people of both genders. Everyone will beam with delight to see you. No one will be the slightest reserved, shy, snobbish or prejudiced. You will feel connected, understood and accepted like no one on earth has ever experienced. The warmth, intimacy and depth of eternal relationships will be literally out of this world. It is my conviction that the mental clarity we will enjoy means no one will ever be tongue-tied or left groping for words. This, combined with increased understanding, emotional wholeness, transparent honesty and divine love will make deep, intimate communication effortless. Heavenly relationships will be so much more fulfilling than earthly ones that for anyone in heaven to want marriage would be like an adult wanting a pacifier.

Heaven will be the place where dreams come true – where the honeymoon never ends and where people are more exciting and loving and perfect than we dare hope. And that’s just each other. The joy we will find in Jesus is indescribable.

I Would Be Like Jesus

I Would Be Like Jesus

Earthly pleasures vainly call me;
I would be like Jesus
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me;
I would be like Jesus

(CHORUS)
Be like Jesus, this my song,
In the home and in the throng;
Be like Jesus, all day long!
I would be like Jesus.

He has broken every fetter,
I would be like Jesus;
That my soul may serve Him better,
I would be like Jesus.
(chorus)

All the way from earth to Glory,
I would be like Jesus;
Telling o'er and o'er the story,
I would be like Jesus.
(chorus)

That in Heaven He may meet me,
I would be like Jesus;
That His words "Well done" may greet me,
I would be like Jesus.
(chorus)

Lonely Man

I sit alone in this lonely room cause I'm a Lonely Man.


I live here alone serving my God, I am a Lonely Man.


I wonder sometimes why He called me here, to be a Lonely Man.


I ask for His grace to stay here awhile, forever a Lonely Man.


I'll give up my all, to answer the call, I'll be a Lonely Man.


And when others judge me and wonder why, I'll stand, a Lonely Man.


For they cannot see God's Almighty plan in my being a Lonely Man. 

WHEN WE FALL AWAY

A WEAK moment FINDS you and your SOUL gives WAY
LONELINESS comes and your HEART goes astray
Temptation HITS you and you fall away
and in this MOMENT you fall in a DAY...




WHY is it SO hard to stand up and BE strong?
Why does one fall and their HEART go along?
Why cannot LIFE be easy to live?
WHY does the HEART give way now to SIN?




It HAPPENS when we our EYES take away
From the CREATOR of life, the CREATOR of day,
When we think we CAN stand alone on OUR own
When we FORGET that our STRENGTH comes down from THE Throne. 




Then in this SORROW to HIM must we flee
and HIDE in the rest made for YOU and for ME, 
Giving our LIVES to the FATHER above
Surrendering ALL to the MASTER of LOVE............

You Walk Away

I see the hurt in their eyes

And my heart cries

I see the lives that they live 

And my heart cries. 

You pass them each day as you go on your way

They're hurting inside and you turn away

Brick and Concrete, this is their home

Fighting and Gangs, this is their life

Sin and Dying, this they still fight

They are innocent children left all alone

And we are the only Jesus they see

Yet so many times we just walk away. 

Will someone someday hear their faint cry?

Will someone someday be a friend who will care?

Will someone someday hold them in love?

Will that someone be me?
