"WHEN"

Worth...
When the lamb lies down next to the lion
Then real peace will prevail on the earth.
When not even one child will be crying
Then all people will value their worth.

As all prejudice dies and is buried
With a vision of hate laid to rest,
When our hearts let love's banner be carried
Then as humans we've passed a great test.

It takes courage for strength to be gentle
Or the gentle to trust who are strong
Yet to live with a fear mostly mental
Could confuse what is right from what's wrong

But it's time to let go of hurt feelings
And release what you don't understand.
NOW's the time for old wounds to be healing
And acknowledge ALL people as grand.

Thus the message the Angels are bringing,
"It takes courage to be who you are,"
Can be heard in the songs they are singing
To assure you that peace can't be far.

DO YOU HAVE TIME?

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time."

"Rumors"

As time does pass, and all thru the year

I find it amazing, some stories I hear

Rumors hurt many, and not just a few

These stories of fiction, not actually true

Each time they are told, little facts seem to change

But I guess that is normal, its not really strange

They are stories of passion, and stories of lust

They are stories of others, and of who not to trust

They are told with abandon, to those we call friend

With no regard ever given, to the results in the end

From just a small fact, we build a story quite grand

Reputations are ruined, even though its not planned

None are immune, to these stories that spread

Its not always fact, just because its been said

But we need to type something, so why not have fun

And tell stories of others, and of what they have done

The answer is simple, and here is your clue

The next rumor you hear, could be about you...
+ + + +

"A sure way to know if your words are pleasing

to the Lord:

Speak of others as if you were speaking of His Son."tm
