Thank you Sunday school teacher
For opening my eyes
To the Bible and to Jesus,
Life’s most precious prize.

Thank you special teacher
For opening my mind
To God and the Holy Spirit,
And for answers you help me find.

Thank you Sunday school teacher
For opening my heart
To eternal life through salvation,
The precious lessons you impart.

Thank you, cherished teacher,
For giving me advice
So that I can know the Lord
And be with Him in paradise.

Isn’t there more to life?
Is this all there is?

Imprisoned by our need for control,
trapped by insatiable desires
for worldly pleasures,
we are oppressed by our desperate hunger
for approval and love
from everyone
except the One who loves us most.

Straining, fighting to release
a familiar yet unknown burden,
we struggle to flee the tension, the stress
from the inner knowing
that our lives are incomplete
without Him who created us.

Parched, thirsting for more, more, more
of something we can’t even define,
racing in the wrong direction,
we search everywhere
except the one place
where what we really want
can actually be found.

Turn around.
Come to Jesus.
He is hope;
He is joy;
He is freedom,
direction, and purpose.

Come to Jesus.
Let Him carry your burdens.
Surrender your pain to His love.
Turn from darkness to the Son,
to the beacon Who will always light your way.

Come to Jesus.
He is waiting…
waiting to lead you home.

In today’s chaotic world,
With everything around us crumbling,
Morality held in contempt,
Our leaders false, corrupt, or bumbling,

More than ever, we need Christ
To lead us through this darkening place;
His absolute truth will light our way;
He’ll lift us with His love and grace.

The Bible is our cornerstone;
In God’s word, we take our stands;
Role models we will strive to be,
Examples of our Lord’s commands.

Dear Lord Jesus, strengthen us
To complete the tasks you’d have us do;
We pray you’ll lead us, guide us now
To know and love and follow you.

I never had any idea we’d meet
but I never felt so complete
Sorry about age, yes I’m old
But I just have this one heart
Can’t be bought or sold
So many feelngs does it hold
It feels heavy with sadness
Because it’s made of gold
But to you it did unlock and unfold
The red carpet of care was unrollled
And special feelings untold
I miss you so much Angel
And make a wish upon a star
Find me somewhere
I promise if you seek I won’t be far
I promise if you seek I won’t be far

Loving Mother
Supportive Friend
Understanding Women
Strength you have
Conquer you can
Anything that crosses your path
Believe in yourself
Because it is known
You can prevail
Let your past go free
Let your future shine bright
Achieve for yourself
See the sunshine bright

I kissed a virtual stranger in real life
And my life has ended as I know it.
My life has been a roller coaster of sorts
Ups and downs and ups in dizzying speed
And I am enjoying it.
I kissed a virtual stranger in real life
And I took him by surprise
He said he didn’t know what hit him
And he said I have such joy in life
His joie de vie, so to speak.
I kissed a virtual stranger in real life
And I haven’t regretted it so far.
He is my life, my lover, my all
We only live once as far as we know it
I sure am glad I kissed him when I did.
Because now, I know love as I imagine it to be
And he surpasses my imagination every day.

Late at night
Thoughts Arise
To why it feels
No end is in site
Smile I try
Clearly though
I want to cry
Hate, Love
Fear, Passion
Anger, Sadness
Feeling so Helpless
And Worthless, unable
to fight these
feelings of flight
Help me unburden these
feelings so happiness
can return

Love is like a lump of gold,
Hard to get, and hard to hold.
Of all the girls I’ve ever met,
You’re the one I can’t forget.
I do believe that God above,
Created you for me to love.
He chose you from all the rest,
Because he knew I would love you best.

My love is like an ocean
It goes down so deep
My love is like a rose
Whose beauty you want to keep.
My love is like a river
That will never end
My love is like a dove
With a beautiful message to send.
My love is like a song
That goes on and on forever
My love is like a prisoner
It’s to you that I surrender.

Love is the greatest feeling,
Love is like a play,
Love is what I feel for you,
Each and every day,
Love is like a smile,
Love is like a song,
Love is a great emotion,
That keeps us going strong,
I love you with my heart,
My body and my soul,
I love the way I keep loving,
Like a love I can’t control,
So remember when your eyes meet mine,
I love you with all my heart,
And I have poured my entire soul into you,
Right from the very start.
