Princess

I am a child of the most high king
I am a princess that’s what it means
I sometimes forget my worth
Down here on Earth
My life should be lived with grace
Showing love in every place
Never allowing Satan to drag me in
To the places I should never have been
Spreading the truth wherever I go
And letting everyone know
That you can be a princess too
All you have to do
Is ask Jesus in your heart
And cling to him so you will never depart
Be strong and steadfast in your faith
Keeping him the center of your life
Showing him your love and loyalty
And you will always be royalty

Family Tree

My family was the seed
That started me
On my way
To what I am today
My roots are strong
And they have grown long
My branches are getting smaller
As my tree grows taller
My branches separate further
And some have gone wrong
And some have withered away
And it seems we don’t have much in common
Oh but we do
Because of that seed
We are all part of the same tree

 

Open Wound

The sting of death that never stops
The choice you made to end your life
Left me with an ache that cuts like a knife
Making a decision to breathe no more
The toll it took on those left behind
My mind will never understand why
My eyes are hollow from the tears I cry
The heartache and pain never leave
For every day I grieve
For what could have been
A life that left to soon
Has left a constant open wound
A hurt that goes straight to the bone
That choice you made to leave me alone

The Pastor’s Wife

The Pastor’s wife is full of life
Even when she is down
She is filled with love
she is a gift from above
She has to endure
Even when she is not sure
Of the path they take
She follows the lead of her husband with love
Because she knows he is led from above
Calls come night and day
So he must say
He has to go
Even though she hopes he’ll stay
But she knows in her heart
That she was called never to depart
From God’s will for her spouse
Sometimes she gets jealous
And then she gets mad
Because she has to share her man
With so many others
She has to listen and grin
To people filled with sin
When she would rather shout
And get it out
She is often overlooked
And sometimes mistook
She is honest and open
And very outspoken
She works behind the Shepard to help teach the word
Sometimes she just wants her voice to be heard
She helps tend the sheep
Her duties are many
She rarely has plenty
She runs the house
While he is out
She plays her role
And stays under control
While living the life
Of a Pastors wife

Rise Up

You are filled with the Holy Ghost fire
He will take you where you desire
You have the greatest power on earth
The power to fight from your re-birth
Your foundation is built on a solid rock
You have access to God’s tool box
You are wasting your time in fear
You need to realize He is always here
You are living below your means
You have forgotten you are a child of the king
And thru his power you can overcome anything
You have the power to kick the devil out
But you have allowed him to steal your shout
You need to rise up and get on your feet
You have THE Savior that won’t be beat
Now is the time to take back your Joy
Take back everything the devil tried to destroy
Tell him to go away and never come back
Stay on fire so he can’t attack
Kick him around
And Knock him down where he can’t interrupt
Now is your time to Rise Up! Rise up!

 

In the Valley

Life is full of twists and turns
It don’t always take you where you yearn
Tosses your heart to and fro
Sometimes wondering where next you’ll go
Waiting for the next mountain to climb
Not wanting life to leave you behind
Hoping you don’t fall over that cliff
Or spend too much time on a dream and drift
Sometimes you wonder if you will survive
All the heartaches, pain and lies
Staying in the valley is not a choice
When you get to the top you will rejoice.

Tennessee Home

Tennessee is my place to be
Surrounded by mountains of majesty
Beautiful rivers and sparkling streams
Starlit skies and moonlit dreams
Hot summers packed with fun-filled days
Nights spent listening to music in the smoky haze
Fairs and Festivals filled with fun
Beautiful crops growing in the sun
Catching lightning bugs at night
And sitting by the fire’s light
Rising early to foggy skies
Waiting for the sun to rise
A beautiful home in God’s country
Wishing the rest of the world could see
All the beauty in Tennessee

Their Fight

Listening and hearing with my heart
Feeling and hurting for my friends
As they share their troubles again
Crying inside for their hurts
Feeling their struggles as my own
Wanting to make their life better
Feeling helpless because they matter
Thoughts and prayers I will offer
Knowing my God is the author
He mends and molds broken hearts
I will take their troubles to him
Asking him to enter in
Joining them among this mess
And causing them to come out blessed
He is the king and full of might
Making them winners of their fight

 

Addiction

Snatching them back from the gates of hell   

Many stories they could tell

Surrounded by death and destruction

Where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth

Oh the darkness you would never believe

An empty heart and hollow eyes

Pale skin where beauty once lied

Joy was replaced with a terrible affliction

But God is the healer of any addiction

Make a choice to hear his voice

Call him by his name and

Ask him to enter in

And he will restore your beauty again
