Month: June 2018

Darkness falls and I begin to weep
Wanting to drift
Off to sleep
Pain and agony overcome
The turmoil within has begun
Despair and gloom
Enter the room
Trying every trick of suppression
From the overwhelming
Deep dark depression
And then something wells up inside my soul
Reminding me
God is in control
He enters the room
As I begin to pray
I feel his warmth
As beside me he lay
The comforter comes in the darkness of night
Filling the room with his holy light

A humble life
Full of love without the words
He taught us how to be kind
Even when we were left behind
He showed us how to control our anger
Even when we were faced with danger
A beautiful face without many wrinkles
A heart of gold that never waivered
A common man who barked at dogs
Driving a van to and fro
Many days spent on the road
A beautiful spirit inside and out
Never heard him cuss or shout
Many of his words were never spoken
And sometimes life left him broken
A spirit so sweet with and even temper
Strong and kind
With a beautiful mind
He helped many without a word
Good advice is all I heard
So precious and wise
With pretty blue eyes
Hair dyed black as coal
Never wanting to grow old
Welding with steel
Burning his hands
Building structures that would always stand
Such a wonderful earthly father
No other man should even bother
To strive to be as good as him
Because he was a precious gem
He has been called the best daddy ever
And he will live in our hearts forever
He loved us all until the day he died
So thankful we could be by his side
Spending time night and day
By the bed where he lay
Waiting for his time to cross that shore
Where Jesus was waiting at the door

 

 

The devil running to and fro
Watching where
Next he will go
Spreading destruction in your life
Stirring up danger, stench and strife
Trying to take you from this life
Before you know it he will snatch you out
Even the very elect
You better watch out
The troubles come when you are weak
You need to stay at Jesus’ feet
Holding on with all your might
Praying and serving thru this fight
So tell the devil to depart
Because you have
Jesus in your heart

 

 

It is not the time to sleep and slumber
We need to be ready by the number
The end is near
For our Lord to appear
So tell your family and friends
We will soon see him
Get on your knees and pray
For all those today
That have not received
The gift that was conceived
By the holy spirit alone
