Find Me Where I Am

Father I know not where I am I have searched many places to find I have asked others called friends Even those of familiar blood Yet none can tell the things I need to know Is it you have gone for a time Is there one more important than I Shall I wait here longer until I know It is not where I choose to be For I cannot feel you My heart is saddened by a searching mind It is with you I desire to be But yet it seems this cannot be In this I know only to call for you That you might find me where I am

Finding Love

Seeking, seeking in places unknown Uncertain where paths do lead Walking through the darkness of night To find love my heart does need Thinking, thinking each time is near That I shall find what I want In the things this world gives In the end I find they don’t Walking, walking down winding paths That keep leading to nowhere Day after day ending the same Taken to hopeless despair Crying, crying what is life That it should be this way I must find someone who knows And heed what they have to say Hearing, hearing words said before Of a Loving Father above Who sent His Son to die for my sins In believing I’m finding Love

Flowers From a Past Life

Was there a time so near to me When from the past they came To remind me of a place of love And know once again the feeling same Oh yes do I recall the day At first I saw them again And brought with them the peace I knew That pushed away the pain I remembered how I placed them there Upon the ground where I lay The body of a life that passed From death to a born again day The flowers were the words of God To go from death to life When to accept the Lord inside For an end to pain and strife So now I’ll send them back to stay And guard the grave of sin Buried by the word of God Never to be remembered again

Fly Away, Fly Away

Fly away, fly away Thoughts that make me sad I'd rather have the other ones That make my heart feel glad But is there a need for them The thoughts that make me feel bad. Fly away, fly away Thoughts that make me sad Do you come to haunt me If I lose something I had Won't you just leave me alone And then my soul would be glad. Fly away, fly away Thoughts that make me sad Is there a purpose in this life For thoughts that make me feel bad Are you guilt or shame I feel Or something I might have said. If you fly away, fly away Thoughts that make me sad Would you go to haunt someone else About the troubles they had Or would you fly away for good And not make someone sad. Fly away, fly away Thoughts that make me sad I found that when you fly away It really doesn't feel so bad For when i feel you fly away It makes my heart feel glad.

Footsteps

We walked together thru the forest In hopes of finding light It seems we walked for miles and miles In nothing but the night From time to time it seemed to be We heard someone else was near And yet because of darkness deep The noise brought only fear If slowly, yet so slowly move Cautiously as onward we go In hopes to soon find a light Just when we do not know The sound of footsteps seem so close From where we do not know If only now the light would come The footsteps to us could show As the sun breaks thru the dark A sigh falls over all The peace we now can embrace As the light begins to call I see the footsteps clearly now It was before us that they went To lead us by their quiet sound It was God’s Son He sent

For God is Love
	I said it was I But yet it was Him For it was He that showed me Love did not come by me Oh but was freely given by Him I knew not until I found Him Yet it was He that found me He sought for me and I was found By Him alone I learned Love Before I had an idea and tried But then I truly knew Yes is true for God is Love

For Jesus

My 5 year old grand-daughter, Shana, helped write this. This my song is just for you I’ll not make much fuss But I’ve got to say this now He loves me and I love Jesus I know you’re special, special to me Each day that I live All the blessings you pass on And your life for me did give You know that I am five Well Jesus how old are you There are many things I want to ask So answer my questions true Is grandpa doing all right Oh how I miss him so He talked about you all the time Until the day he went to you And those awful kids next door To them you give your love Doesn’t really matter to you They’re welcome to your home above Well I need to go for now But I’ll be back again Watch over my family Because I know you can

For Me the Best

I was watching the rain on this Warm spring day Carefully counting each raindrop Upon green leaves to lay They gently floated my mind away To a time of love for me When the time together for you and I A place I long to be Ah I recall these days of before As a child I would play I always loved when you called my name Was that prayer time of day Though sometimes I would not understand When your love became correction But yet recall was best through it all In giving my life direction Money or jewels to you can’t repay What you put in my heart Through failure and faults you stood with me Your love to never depart Now you’ve gone to be with our Lord I know He’s glad to see Your work here on earth left behind Is His Love in me I proudly stand to say you were mine As parents that stood the test God I know was showing his Love He saved for me the best
