Daddy Read to Me

Where oh where has my little dog gone Words I oft heard him say Bring me your little toes here And we’ll find him today Round and round the mulberry bush Little feet come here and play I promise not to tickle you You can trust me today Sing a song of sixpence now Strumming the old guitar If you’ll list my tune for awhile I’ll take you a ride in my car Mary Mack all dressed in black Cat ran away with the spoon Memories of my childhood days Yet they passed too soon Knick knack a paddy-whack Come sit upon my knee Often now I still recall As daddy read to me

Dancing with the devil

Round and round your life will go Spinning to out of control To take away your hope complete And rob you of your soul This dance will slowly rob your mind Of your thoughts to live Will only continue to take and take And nothing to you give Dancing with the devil is death And playing in his backyard Only brings a persons soul To a life cruel and hard Pain and sorrow can’t be stopped While dancing on this floor No help for your broken life But yet there is a Door For God sent His only Son To turn your life about For using faith is the key And through the door walk out

Days

Today is calm with bright sunshine Gentle breeze from the Great I Am Oh with peace and joy untold Yes this day is like a lamb But yesterday this storm did roll And cover me with care It came with such ferocity Like a raging angry bear Even more the day before Which put my soul to crying For in the things it brought to me Was like a roaring lion Tomorrow maybe the thing I face On him I’ll be reliant For as a warrior going forth It just might be a giant This one thing I surely know That He knows all my ways No matter what is in store He keeps me all my days

Dear Child of Mine

Dear child of mine so much of me In ways you do not know Yet you shall come to understand When these things God doth show. The chance, the time to start a new Is knocking at your door It’s calling softly out your name Open up, let me do more. In all things Christ will be with you Your life he longs to lead To guide each and every path To bless in all your need. My time, my love, I give to you With all that’s in my heart To do the things that I can do Tho for now we’re far apart. Yet things in life are up to you Choose wisely with your time I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU Rebecca, dear child of mine.

Dear Heart

Dear Heart, It has been awhile since I talked with you, so I thought I would write you a few lines. I haven’t been able to contact you any other way. It is like you are hiding from me. I wanted to let you know that nothing has changed in our relationship. I love you just as much as I ever did. I miss the times we spent talking together; the laughter and the tears. It didn’t matter because I enjoyed them all. I have tried to contact you through your family and friends. When they talk to me, they say they are concerned about you. They love you very much too. You may think it is me that has gone away, but I would never leave you. Remember when your children were sick, I was there. There were lots of other times when I saw you crying, I tried to get your attention but your mind was on other things. I hope you read this letter and respond. If not, I will continue to try and contact you any way I can. Love forever and always, Your Heavenly Father

Despair

What is this place I see? When others I know go before Someone said their hope was gone Caught in the valley of despair Spiraling downward with nothing to stop Is there no one to care? I am left alone in this place I heard its name called despair I would search ‘til the end of time If only I could know where It seems the only place I know Down deep in the valley of despair The signs were out from others I’d seen The warning said all should beware And stay far away from here This wretched place called despair But even in this valley so low I found someone walking there He was the Son of the Living God Who delivers from the valley of despair

Diamond

Diamonds I said are beautiful Yes I look and see its shining Over and over to remain for view Covered only by a brightness lining Oh but to say again is what you are That diamond in the dark of night That should glow in love for all And opening hearts to light Shine on diamond of my world And still for others too Bring your brightness truth to show What they can know of you Oh Lord is you that's shining still And will forever be In our lives hope to live Life's diamond we can see

Did I Stop to Thank God

I said that I feel so good Things worked out well for me My life is going oh so nice In every way I see. It seems as nothing can go wrong All things just turn out right The sunlight is so bright each day The moon glows strong at night. My friends all like to be with me I’ve countless of them you know The road goes so straight for me Everyplace that I go. When I rejoice in all these things This thought it seems so odd When all these were going well Did I stop to thank God?

Does Yesterday Belong to Today?

When I thought of yesterday It only brought me pain For today is full of sunshine And yesterday was rain. I venture yet to wonder why I should think upon the past Of things that have brought me pain Those things will never last. For yesterday has left behind All that it could bring Whether it was good or bad Today means not a thing. For yesterday is in the grave Buried in what is past And hopefully not to rise again Upon my soul to cast. Oh yesterday, oh yesterday I’m glad that you are gone For I found in yesterday Was a time I felt alone.

Don't Forget That

When you see the flowers bloom on dew upon the grass at daybreak or felt a spring breeze blow across your face and through your hair to move on to another place. To tickle the leaves upon a tree or rustle them upon the ground. When you see a mother cover her children or the shadow of a tree cover someone from the heat of the sun. When you see a father shedding tears of joy for a child’s accomplishment, No matter how small. When you feel as if someone is there in your times of doubt or fear. For it is the love I have for you that you see or feel; a Fathers love for his child. Don’t forget that.

Don't Lose the Moment

This is the thing that I must keep I will put in a guarded place No one will take it away Then anytime I can embrace Was precious this thing we had And never should I lose For now I can return to look Anytime that I choose Though this was but a moment of time It was first ever we met My heart was led captive away And kept without regret Oh moment of love a gift from God Was sent to me on that day To be displayed in memories’ room And recalled without delay So should a time upon you come That’s sent from God above Hold fast and sure for yourself Don’t lose the moment of love

Dream #1

If I had the dream of dreams And knew it would come true Would it be of grass so green? Or of the morning dew. Would it be a meadow’s wall? Blowing softly in the wind Or would it be a river’s bank Whose beauty has no end. Would it be a house of gold? Of riches great untold Of daffodils and silver frills Where life was never cold. Would it be a place of joy? Of happy laughs and songs Where all was peace and harmony And nothing would go wrong. I know what is in my heart To be dream number one That all in this world could know Jesus Christ, God’s Holy Son.

Dream #2

I know I can see your dreams For I can feel them too I’d like to share your moments And be a help to you. Though dreams are sometimes fantasy Your dreams are a part of you And if I can lend a hand To make your dreams come true. For without our dreams in life There is no place to go No reason for another day No trumpets for us to blow. So let’s not forget your dreams We’ll keep them in our minds We’ll talk of them til they come true And out of dark our bright sun shines. And if friends can share their dreams Walk forward hand in hand Our lives would be a happy place And together we could stand. Your dreams are really up to you And if you let friends share You’ll find those days of happiness To know true friends that care.

Dream #3

I dreamed a dream as plain as day It’s meaning seemed so clear It told of what I could do And things that were so near. It told me that in everything If only I would try All dreams that I had in life Would come true by and by. This dream was not for silly games But things to look towards Of things that bring happiness Of things that bring rewards. This dream that I often dream That is as plain as day Is to share with everyone A dream to show the way.

Dream Remain

A shattered dream on the waterfront River’s face to look upon And yet in all was found to be ‘Twas hope given by one Why do dreams not live until They’ve found a place to stay Wherein abides the hope of man And its fulfillment day Sometimes it is funny yet These dreams of mine I hold Shall I let go to drift away Before its life is told Dream of dreams, dream of dreams I linger in its way In hope to meet it face to face And in its time to stay I should surely know this dream Imprison it in my heart And love you still until dying days Not from this dream depart

Dream Revisited

I dreamed a dream as plain as day It’s meaning seemed so clear It told of what I could do And things that were so near. It told me that in everything If only I would try All dreams that I had in life Would come true by and by. This dream was not for silly games But things to look towards Of things that would bring happiness Of things that bring rewards. This dream of which I often dream That is as plain as day Is to share with everyone A dream to show the way.

Dwell Inside His Will

A story I told, a song I sang Would be heard again I said For what will it profit to wait around? Until this body is dead Today is the day to work for the Lord I must continue to pray For I have chosen a labor of love And I’ll begin today When my eyes pass on to sleep I’ll rise with the same intent I’ll follow where my Lord shall lead I’ll go where I am sent A sacrifice I give to Him Is all that I can do And live my life beneath the cross As each day becomes brand new This is the thing I desire the most To dwell inside His will And show His Love to a sinful world Each day of my life until
