I Thank The Lord
If I am sick or if I am well, thanks be to God, my soul will tell. If I am strong or if I am weak, thanks be to God in all I speak. When dogs bark and cars chase, when people die, when life feels like a race When dogs bark loud and the…

How blind of me to claim wisdom over the foe,Foolish to think I match his cunning blow.Cocky indeed, to think my tales surpass,The Father of Lies, whose deceit outlasts.A jest it is, to deem myself fully aware,Dishonest to believe I alone can…

Thunderclouds grumble, as waters play,On sandy shores, they greet the day. Birds soar high,…

Thousands of days, through storms we’ve trod,Your steadfast light, our guiding rod. In the realm of shadows, you remained, In every trial, your love proclaimed. Thousands of days you never…

Songs and souls eternal
Late I hear the sweet songs of old, Echoes through time, stories retold. Thousands of years, yet nothing’s changed, Invention of the soul, forever ordained. Oh, the melody, it’s been going strong, Through the ages, it carries on. The sweet hum of hymns, eternal and pure, Forever I’ll cherish, forever I’ll endure. Too often we…
