When pain comes like a rolling sea
Joy is found and you are free.
When bills are due and money is short
There God is standing in your court.
When trouble knocks on your door
Your old heart He does restore.
When bad news rings your black phone
Let it drop, here catch a dial tone.
When there is no comfy car
That’s okay the bus ain’t far.
When the laptop is in the shop
You’ll still make it to the top.
When he has gone and left the house
Forget about the ingrate louse.
When mom is not feeling her best
Remind her that it’s just a test.
When bad dad is stinkin' drunk
Don’t let him get you in a funk.
When your looking for a mate
Pray for love it's not too late.
When the children fight and whine
Call for help, go out and dine.
When time is sinking like quicksand
God is there to lend a hand.

Prayer for A Change Of Heart
An opportunity to be released
From heartache, and a headache.
Desiring, wishing,
Waiting – a long term commitment.
People watching, wondering
Who stole your heart?
Fear what isn’t.
Ponder what is.
Hope that everything between us will be alright.

And It Too Came To Pass...
It came to pass and you won’t call.
An issue of right and wrong, this is not.
An issue of fortune-telling and psychic
ability this is not.
Your life, my life if I don’t tell
is at stake...God told me.
But you don’t believe...
and it came to pass
now you won’t call.
I guess you can handle it all
by yourself. My season is finished
and yours has just begun.
Does the enemy have your hands
tied behind your back and tape
over your mouth?
It came to pass and you doubted.
You told me God doesn’t speak that often.
God doesn’t, God won’t, God hasn’t...
and it too came to pass.

Offended
Holding a gun to your head,
read the Bible
do what it says.
You know I haven't treated you this way.
It's all in your head.
Conversations about Jesus.
Not permitted.
Don’t force your beliefs on me
you say.
Whose forcing?

No Time
Knocking on your door
will you open?
The man asleep
the t.v. still on.
Knocking on your door
will you open?
The woman screaming
at her child, his small
hands cover his ears.
Seeking will you find?
The Bible under a pillow
no time to read.
Seeking will you find?
The cross around her neck
and she curses.
Sought and fought
buried six feet deep
now what do you think?

Godly Forces
Unseen forces
picked up the car and moved it
you won’t see it again
the devil had fled.
Unseen forces
standing behind you they won’t
stab your back
for God has his army.
Unseen forces
surrounding you
they won’t let the enemy
feed on you.
Unseen forces
way above my head
their making a place
for me at home in my bed.

Dollar Sign
Money hungry woman
the old lady saw the look
you won’t marry
you won’t marry
for your nothing but a crook.
Scheming on the side
and she knows she shouldn’t.
Thinking to herself maybe
she wouldn’t.
He knows her plan
this controlling man
a rose or two
he knows what to do.
And she sits around
showing a little thigh
while he tells her
another little white lie.
Then they do marry
the old lady just shook
because she knows
the vows they just took.
Then it began with just one look
now act on those vows
woman
remember the holy book.

Dedication to Baby
Baby cry out.
You live.
You die.
A world, cold.
Warm us with your smile.
Touch us with your love
Help us find God.
Grow.
Tell us what you know
A piece of paper crinkled in tiny palms.

The Dark Side
I know she was suppose to be a man,
but they did that operation and instead
called her Fran.
Interesting, original she was
God used her and gave her love.
But no one knows
at least so she thinks
for I know the well water
that she drinks.

Separation Between Church and State
Martin drew a line between us
when he told me I talked about
God too much.
Sarah drew a cross between us
when she agreed with me
that God disappeared from the
hearts of many.
Tina didn’t want to hear it
so she walked away.

Stomping Beast
The beast doesn’t give
unless he receives
what is the benefit?
what is the cost?
there are no excuses
there are no reasons
the beast commands
he does not ask
he is enraged
behind his mask
take it all off
let us see your face
but the beast only hides
he knows he’ll be erased.

Fooled Clergy
He doesn’t want the earth’s trash.
He doesn’t want the broken,
tattered, shredded or torn.
He wants you - he wants me.
The leaders all around who play
hide-’n-go-seek.
The self-righteous, proud,
confused and ignorant.
The clergy who pass by
wrapped in covenant.
They can’t see
the cross has blocked their view
and everyone is a devil, of course
not them, but you.
