Let love shine
upon a face
once filled with disgrace
when pain seemed too much to bear
when words were devoid of care
Let love shine upon a face!
No more running and feeling mad
crying alone looking sad
confused and acting bitter
displaying someone else's litter
Let love shine upon a face!
Days are so few
memories like morning grass dew
gone so very fast
good moments don't last.
So let love shine upon a face
be one of the first to finish the race
with arms held high
and a tear in your eye
wave goodbye to sadness
so long pain
God will stop all the rain!
Let love shine upon your face!

When It Happens
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.
Joy is found and you are free.

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.

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.

The Friend I Found In You
Everything I wish a friend to be I found in you.
When my family didn't have the time
you heard my cries
didn't have to protect my heart
with some made up lies.
You were there in death
in sickness
and in health.
You built me up
even when I tore myself down.
You held my hand
even when I pulled away
like a selfish two year old
wanting to play.
You were my strength
when I fell weak
talking to a bottle
and throwing up pills.
When hunger pains
clenched my stomach
you filled it up
with a plate of love
and a drink of hope.
You never forgot about me
when you talked to your God.
Opened up your arms
gave me a hug
kissed me on the cheek
and tucked me in bed.
You listened to my rants
even slapped me when I needed it.
Cried with me
through the heartbreaks.
Laughed with me
until our bellies ached.
You were everything to me
and I to you
for when I was strong
I carried you too.
Thank you for being
the friend I found in you!

Other People's Problems
Minding my own business.
I didn't call you.
You called me, wanting to talk about your problems.
Problems you could have avoided, but you made the choice to ignore wisdom.
Thought that you were strong, but really you were weak.
Subjected yourself to enemy schemes to kill, steal, or destroy your common sense.
I offered my opinion, to this, you talked over me.
Afraid I would say, "I told you so."
Yet, what I did tell you, your ears were closed.
Didn't want anyone to be right but you.
The conversation changes, feeling offended, you start talking about other people.
Ready to get off the phone.
You wish you hadn't called.
I wish I hadn't picked up the phone.
I have my own problems.
So I don't say I will pray for you, but I know I will.
It's not worth mentioning, because you won't listen anyway.

Monday
For Those Who Forget To Pray
Walk out the door.
Drive your car.
Talk on the cell phone.
Speak to your boss.
Leave a note for a co-worker.
Go out to lunch.
Read a book.
Complete some paperwork.
You forgot to pray.
When you walked out the door, someone had been waiting to rob your home.
As you drove your car, you missed an accident.
The person on your cell phone, hadn't told you about her plans to commit suicide.
Your boss had planned to fire you a month ago, but you still have your job.
The co-worker you left a note for was responsible for him keeping you.
The lunch you ate today, hadn't made you sick.
The book you read, you could have missed the sale.
Incomplete paperwork would have cost you money and the company.
Yet, He didn't forget about you.

Lying Spirits
Fear of how one will react
Fear of not knowing how to respond
Fear of not getting what you want.
FEAR.
Liar, liar pants on fire.
Sitting on the hot seat.
Can't remember the lie you told.
How did it happen?
When did it happen?
Where were you when it happened?
What did you say?
Who was it on the phone?
Why didn't you handle it?
No accountability for your actions,
blame someone else.
No apologies when the truth comes out,
upset you were found out.
Create another story,
feel guilty.
Someone is always watching.
You will be found out.
Fear no man, says the Lord.
If God before us who can be against us?
Everyone will turn on a liar.
