Sam

Sweet September brought us rain
Soak the soil, flooded the corn field
How sweet, if i could forget them all
For what remain was dirt and trail

Oh frickle fortune, my heart cried out
Sam our dog was lying in the yard
his pulse was weak, his spirit was low,
God has a plan i must not allow

The rain has stop, Sam has a grave
He left us all without a word or two
My soul died when i paid my respect
Living had no meaning to me anymore.

I prayed each night for God to listen
To feel my pain, to heal my soul
But Alas! the time has come
For me to see what need to be seen.

Perhaps..

Dawn has captured the eastside
Bringing owls into the cold
A trail of pain and trouble
fills our mind and soul

Perhaps time will show us patience
To make us strong, to show us love
For all is lost, we cant gain back
Bitter memories we try to forget

Natural disaster kills innocent souls
Homeless children, crying mother
Perhaps God had a mission
to bring us closer no matter what race.

Whats wrong now i ask myself
For many people live in the dark
Perhaps my answer are just doubts
Blinded by my confuse mind.

The smell of pain filled the air
Fields of bodies everywhere
Why is hatred a main division
When God has taught us to love others

Many lives many hopes
Has gone to pure waste
Perhaps someday we will learn to change
Await the return of our great king,Jesus.

Dancers of the Courtship

Misty lanes and scattered stones
Blinded my vision to get home.
I hold strong to my cross of faith
To give me strength, to give me will.

Fear not the darkness, my heart tells me
For Jesus my saviour, is with me
Fear less the cry of the wind, my mind speaks
For nothing can stop my mission home.

I reach the crossroads of nowhere
Not knowing which path to take
I kneel in silence and spoke to God
For he is my reason i m here.

God speaks in mysteries ways
He told my heart not to fear
He gave me strenght to move ahead
For he is with me along the way.
