Dear Friend...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you love;
Reach out to Him who brings you joy,
And blessings from above...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you grace;
Come, tarry for a little while,
And rest in His embrace...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you hope;
He'll help you strive to carry on,
And give you strength to cope...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you life;
He'll be there ever by your side,
And take away your strife...

Wait, reflect and pray, dear friend,
And Christ will give you peace;
Remember Him when skies are dark,
And you will find release!

Autumn's Not Too Far Away

Autumn's not too far away,
I saw a leaf fall down today,
And tho it seemed so full of hope,
When winter comes, the trees can cope.

God had designed each one, you see,
To stand the chill so lovingly,
Tho it be just a maple small,
or mighty oak so proud and tall.

They brave the night so dark and cold 
And winter when the north winds blow,
Some standing high upon a hill,
Some warms them with His loving will.



Tho winter isn't far away
When branches all - begin to sway,
Snow soon will cover up the ground,
Today I saw a leaf fall down.

Every End Is a New Beginning

Every end is a new beginning
like the chapters in a book,
By faith we reach out expectantly
turn the page and take a look.
Each volume has a specific size
each complete in our Lord's sight,
He writes His love in many ways,
in sunny days, through darkest night.
He's cast us each as our life's hero,
it's up to us to act the part,
Find the faith to walk rejoicing,
sing His goodness in our heart.
Of course we'd sometimes like to linger
in pleasant resting places,
But time goes on and comes the challenge 
of tomorrow's untried races.
Since we cannot see and do not know 
the next step He has planned,
Boldly make a new beginning
and trust the ending to His hand.

Happiness

My will tried its best to hide
The tickling feeling deep inside
The feeling I had when I saw you so weak that day
Trying to take all your worries and pains away
Your sweet laughter echoed in my heart
Making it live again from the start
May you never feel again that pain!
May you never see the world lonely and vain!
May all happiness of earth spill on you!
Wiping away the grief that you once knew
Be joyful beloved life is not worth a tear
Not worth a sigh, not worth a fear
God, my father, do listen to my call
Let joy and happiness fill his soul
Help us both to walk with our head above
Our eyes filled with hope, our hearts with love…

Hopeful for much too long ...

I was hopeful for much too long
My hopes are trash, for finished is my song
I gave you a lot, never get tired of giving
I deserted everyone because for you only I was living
I thought I can bring the change in you
You destroyed my dreams,
Destroyed me too
You have been like this
Without a heart and with no shame
I cannot curse you, you’re not to blame

I can give you a second try still
But I am afraid my dreams will once more kill

No! No! I have tried to change you all these years
All you gave me is disappointment and ever flowing tears
May you be forgiven by God!
May you never feel gloomy or sad!
For this will be my sole happiness concern
When of your happiness I’ll learn
I was hopeful for much too long
My hopes are trash, for ended is my song.
