Look to the Cross
Look to the crosss for Jesus' grace
Look to the cross for His love
Look to the cross to see Heaven
You'll find out just what it's made of
The cross will show you salvation
The cross will show you pure peace
Look to the cross for safety
Look to the cross on your knees
You can find the cross in the Bible
How Jesus was crucified
Just accept that He suffered unfairly
Accept that for sinners He died
See, the cross has brought us Jesus' grace
The grace that He died for our sin
The cross has brought us our Savior's love
The love that He'll come once again
The cross has brought us Heaven
Where He'll take us to live far away
We'll sit by the right hand of Jesus
The cross made the difference one day
It's because of my Savior's death on the cross
That I'm safe and my life is at peace
It's because I accepted salvation
When I looked to the cross on my knees.
Reach for God's Grace
Today I learned an important thing
That though I fail I can win
I'm not a failure if I reach for God's grace
Even the just people sin
The just fall seven times Proverbs says
We'll fail in the course of life's race
But despair shouldn't come for the Christian
Who can always reach for God's grace
He'll grab our hand with the grace of His love
And not let us fall too deep
He'll hold on tight if we reach for His grace
When the mountain becomes too steep
Like a child hold his daddy's finger
For safety and to help him stand tall
If we reach for God's grace he'll hold us
Don't worry! He'll ne'er let us fall
If the same child is headed for trouble
Daddy takes hold of his hand
If we'll reach for God's grace we'll be rescued
By our Daddy who helps us to stand
Even the just will fall seven times
But he'll not stay down in life's race
He'll get right back up and try harder
And remember to reach for God's grace.
My Journey Has Barely Started
I started my journey in '64
I've traveled life's highway awhile
Sometimes my life has caused me tears
And sometimes it's made me smile
I cried when I lost my sister
She was killed by a drunk in a car
I smiled when my brother came home to us
The Marines had taken him afar
I cried when my Danny was called overseas
Just two weeks after we wed
I smiled when I sent him a letter
"It's a boy!" is the way that it read
I cried when Angela died in my womb
Toxemia took her from me
I smiled when God sent Steven down
To be part of our small family
I cried when my mother got cancer
And died in suffering and pain
I smiled when my eldest said "Yes Lord!"
"I'll one day see Grandma again."
I cried when Daddy joined Mother
His drinking and smoking did him in
I smiled when my youngest said "Jesus,
Please forgive me and save me from sin."
My journey through life has been started
With a mixture of smiles and tears
I look forward to smiles abundant
As I journey through many more years.
Let’s Start to Care
My heart is breaking
I’m in despair
Come on people
Don’t you care?
Today I heard it on the news
It’s okay to murder
It’s our right
To “choose”
I just can’t understand
How a man has the right
To decide just to end
What our God’s given life
They can’t take the rap
It’ll cause such a strain
Or they don’t think they’ll live
Through such suffering and pain
They’ve been irresponsible
They need a way out
It’s a “choice” they’ve been given
Tell me, what’s it about?
Don’t throw away paper
Or you’ll kill a tree
But taking a life
It’s a way to be free!
We’ve men in the desert
Defending this land
While we’re okaying murder
I can’t understand!
Have fun! Be free!
There’s nothing to fear
If you get in to trouble
The doctors are here
They can fix it all
They can end your strife
It’s no big deal
Just take its life!
They call it a “choice”
The choice to kill?
Come on people
Come on, get real!
And, please don’t tell me
There’s no life there
There’s breath and a heartbeat
Oh why don’t you care?!
And medical proof shows
The sense of touch
They feel when you kill them
It hurts them SO MUCH
I just can’t
Seem to understand
How a man by his “choice”
Takes a life by his hand
I’ve heard people say
All should have a “choice”
But tell me now
Have you heard that child’s voice?
The Constitution guarantees
A trial before the death
But is that right relinquished
For the LIFE before breath?
What’s America coming to
Tell me, will you please
When murder becomes a right, a “choice”
When lives are taken with ease
My heart is breaking
I’m in despair
Come on people
Let’s start to care!!
Through the Years
‘Twas Christmas morning sixty-six
My daddy made my day
He bundled me in winter clothes
And took me out to play
Santa brought me a dolly
Clothes and a big girl bed
But one thing held my attention
My swingset painted red
At two, I played on the horsie
The slide, and the baby swing
My daddy’d always push me high
While I’d just laugh and sing
My swing set was time with Daddy
Just time for he and I
He made me feel like an eagle
I soared high in the sky
The years passed fast, I soon turned five
Daddy took Horsie down
And replaced him with a seesaw
And ventures to abound
The baby swing was wooden now
Just two chains and a board
But Daddy made sure to give me
The time that I adored
The years flew by, I then turned ten
The seesaw turned to rope
I practiced climbing to the top
Olympics gave me hope
The board swing stayed for years and years
But times with Dad grew slim
I spent my time in ballet class
With not much time for him
The years progressed, my swing unused
My days too busy now
Classes and work detain me
Time just doesn’t allow
Well, my swing set is white as snow now
Horsie’s back for a while
My boys spend time with their daddy
Time just to make them smile
Red to white, Horsie to seesaw
Myself down to the boys
My swing set’s changed throughout the years
But oh, the tears of joy
My husband swings my boys up high
The same as Dad did me
He makes them soar like eagles too
He makes them laugh with glee.
Nature’s Terrorist
My terror escapes as I crouch in fear
I tremble as I listen to the wind
The trees are toothpicks snapping at natures’s call
The cars are toys flying through the air
The roofs are pieces of fruit being peeled back
The signs are soda cans being crushed by the force
The wind is whipping with such force
The roar of torrential rain increases my fear
The crushing winds just claimed our shed out back
Our dog is imitating the howling of the wind
The trash cans fly like birds through the air
We listen closely to the thunder of nature’s call
And then…we listen to the silencing of nature’s call
We look out the window at the weakening force
There are no longer things flying through the air
For a moment I am without intense fear
But wait! Oh no, I hear a roaring wind
The silence is over, the terrorist is back
He was just stalking his prey, now he’s back
Are we the next victims he will call?
I ask myself as I listen to the precocious terrorist wind
Making its way towards my house with such force
Once again, the winds evoke my fear
Will I be the next victim thrown in to the air?
Will today be when I join my Jesus in Heaven?
I can’t watch anymore, I have to turn my back
I close my eyes, expect the worst, and wince in fear
I await nervously my Savior’s inevitable call
I will soon be torn apart by nature’s force
I will soon give up the ghost to the mighty wind
It was for naught I feared the mighty wind
At last, I feel a peace within the air
The terrorist of my fear has lost its force
I can breathe at last, my calm is back
I did not hear the ring of nature’s call
Now I can stand here laughing at my fear
God has tamed the wind, it won’t be back
There’s calmness in the air
The quietened call
It’s over, no more force
Be still my fear.
