The Lord's Baseball Game
Bob and the Lord stood by to observe a baseball game. The Lord's team was
playing Satan's team. The Lord's team was at bat, the score was tied zero to zero, and it was the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs.
They continued to watch as a batter stepped up to the plate whose name was
Love. Love swung at the first pitch and hit a single, because Love never
fails.
The next batter was named Faith, who also got a single because Faith works
with Love.
The next batter was named Godly Wisdom. Satan wound up and threw the first
pitch. Godly Wisdom looked it over and let it pass. Ball one. Three more
pitches and Godly Wisdom walked, because Godly Wisdom never swings at what
Satan throws. The bases were loaded.
The Lord then turned to Bob and told him He was now going to bring in His
star player. Up to the plate stepped Grace.
Bob said, "He sure doesn't look like much!"
Satan's whole team relaxed when they saw Grace. Thinking he had won the
game, Satan wound up and fired his first pitch. To the shock of everyone,
Grace hit the ball harder than anyone had ever seen. But Satan was not
worried; his center fielder let very few get by. He went up for the ball,
but it went right through his glove, hit him on the head and sent him
crashing on the ground; then it continued over the fence for a home run!
The Lord's team won.
The Lord then asked Bob if he knew why Love, Faith and Godly Wisdom could get
on base but could not win the game. Bob answered that he did not know why.
The Lord explained, "If your love, faith and wisdom had won the game, you
would think you had done it by yourself. Love, faith and wisdom will get you
on base, but only My Grace can get you home.
Got no friends, got no money
Got no girl to call my honey
Overweight and out of control
Been awhile since I took a stroll
Yellow teeth and thinning hair
I look like hell but I don't care
Dirt under my fingernail
Last sex I had was a night in jail
Spend my time on the net
Chatting with girls I've never met
While driving I look every place
To find 100 dollar bills in a suitcase
The other day I walked by a brinks truck
Hmmm that could be an easy buck
Filled my eyes with double vision
Thought about it and this was my decision
Grab a bag of money and run
Go to Vegas and have some fun
Pay some bills to get them off my back
Guess it’s commonsense I lack
Cause I tripped fell and busted my head
Got kicked in the guts by a cop named Fred
Broke three ribs and cracked my hip
The ride to the cop shop was a free trip
I think my body is on Novocain
I try to think and it’s my brain I strain
Never have no cash cause I charged things
Where does my money go flies away as with wings
MasterCard stole it figuratively speaking
Maxed out my credit now it is reeking
Totally in debt Out of control
Can’t afford a lump of coal
I've been down on my luck
Lost my girl and my truck
I lead a lonely life
Got no money got no wife
Always getting the run around
I'm so down I got to look up to see the ground
And I am so confused
I got the Blues
Velvet and stone this vessel is old
It shakes creaks and moans
This may all sound like hell
But actually I'm doing quite well
If I'm asleep when you want to, wake me;
If I'm awake and don't want to, make me.
Here's to you, I'm glad that I metcha,
And now that I met you, I'm glad that I letcha,
Here's to the drink that creates fire,
Here's to the drink that creates desire.
Not the kind that burns down shanties,
But the kind that burns down panties.
Here's to the girl in the little red shoes,
She drinks my liquor, she drinks my booze.
She has no cherry but that's no sin,
She has the box the cherry came in.
Here's to the girl dressed in black,
She's dressed so fine, there's nothing to lack.
She feels so fine and kisses so sweet,
She makes things stand, that have no feet.
Here's to an hour of sweet repose,
Tummy to tummy and toes to toes,
Then after an hour of such delight,
It's fanny to fanny for the rest of the night.
Now that I'm old and feeble, and pilot light is out,
What used to be my sex appeal is now my waterspout.
I used to be embarrassed to make the thing behave,
For every morning it would stand and watch me shave.
But now I'm getting old and it gives me the blues,
To have the thing hang down to watch me tie my shoes.
God made little boys, made them out of string,
He had a little left, made a little thing.
God made little girls, made them out of lace,
He ran a little short, and left a little space
I'm not too fit, I'll have you know
I'm overweight and rather slow
But when I run, I manage though
I’m Breathless
Though in the past it was not thus
I am not one to swear and cuss
Except when trying to catch a bus
I’m Breathless
When as a youth, I used to play
With sweet young ladies in the hay
The girls would be the ones to say
I’m Breathless
At sport I'd always stay the course
I was as strong as any horse
But now, with just a little force
I’m Breathless
I guess my life has reached the stage
When these things happen at my age
When anything I engage
I’m Breathless
I have my annual body checks
To find out if I need new specs
But sadly, when I'm having sex
I’m Breathless
My forgetter's getting better but my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny but, to me, that is no joke
For when I'm here I'm wondering If I should be there
And when I try to think it through I haven't got a prayer
Often times I walk into a room say what am I here for
I wrack my brain but all in vain a zero is my score
At times I put something away where it is safe but Gee
The person it is safest from generally is me
When shopping I may see someone say Hi and have a chat
When the person walks away I say who the heck was that
Yes my forgetter's getting better but my rememberer is broke
And it's driving me plumb crazy and that is no any joke
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm in love
But not with you
When we broke up
You thought I cried
But all it was
Was a big lie
You told your friends I was a prick
So I told my friends you were a sick chick
I told you I loved you
You thought it was true
Guess what girl
You got played too
The person that you see is really not me
The person you see is someone I want to be
I can put on a smile and act like a clown
While deep inside I`m wearing a frown
When I`m home alone I cover all the mirrors
Because the reflection I see brings out tears
I see a man that is filled with pain and despair
But I keep it all inside so the world is unaware
At times it gets hard playing this happy lucky roll
I fight to keep the real me under control
I hate to wake and see a new day
I know how hard it is keeping the monster away
It`s not you or anyone else I can blame
It`s me at fault I have the misery to contain
So ya see I`m not happy and playing it is a task
I like to be alone so I can take of my mask
But here I am with people who count on me
So I have to wear this mask, and I`ll never be free
The sky is opening up
The stars are falling down
I'm flying in a coffee cup
drowning in coffee grounds
I've chased the dragon
I've done my share of lines
My friends are all dead or on the wagon
But I'm still feeling fine
Looking for some ludes
to find a way down
I'm a major dude
in a small town
Dear Father above,
Thank You for healing the one I love.
You sent Your Angels to be by her side,
You’ve wiped away the tears I have cried.
She is the girl You choice for me,
I want her by my side for eternity.
I haven’t been the best I could be
For healing her, I’ll change, You’ll see.
In You I have no shame,
You’ve healed the sick, You’ve healed the lame.
Father I thank You for her doctor and nurse,
For caring for her to them I could never reimburse.
Lord You see me alone and the tears I cry,
If I could I would trade her places in a blink of an eye.
I don’t know what the future may hold,
But without her inside I feel so cold.
I’ve been praying for her day and night,
And You have told me son she will be aright.
So I give You thanks Father above,
For healing the one I love.
I always wanted more from you
than you were willing to give
So now we've gone our separate ways
each with different lives to live
The bond will always be there
the friendship always intact
But the time for us has come and gone
and the pages of time you can't turn back
Sometimes on those busy days
when you've a thousand things to do
Please let me glide slowly through your mind
and spend some time with you
In that quiet moment when you're
surprised to find me there
Just remember even with the distance between
us I am still someone who cares
I reached out for your heart
You didn't seem to care
You can only reach so far
When no one else is there
Others also reached for you
Hoping to make you see
That I’m as important
As anyone will ever be
I wish I could reach further
But I’m only so strong
I hoped your eyes would open
So that you'd see you're wrong
It hurts to have to reach far
When you once were so near
It's hard shouting out for you
When my voice you don't hear
I wish you'd extend your hand
And sense the love there
Knowing what our memories mean
Showing me you still care
I realize you don't reach back
and my hands are not with yours
Guess you don’t want my World
So you close all my doors
I’m done reaching for the past
You are now on your own
I hope it is all worth it
Cause one day you’ll be alone
I really needed you today
The sun was out but my skies were gray
Sure wish you were here
I needed you to be close by, or just near
Today they set our sons headstone
Looking at it I felt so alone
And seeing it was harder than I thought
To be near you is what I sought
Your company completes me
This why can’t you see
You would if you would just take the time
If you were here I wouldn’t have to make words rhyme
I could cry on your shoulder and tell you how I feel
I could tell you everything nothing would I conceal
You are an angel to me, you are so kind
Someone else like you I’ll never find
But such is life so I’ll take it day by day
To find someone like you who cares is what I pray
So I’ll just keep my feelings locked up inside
Wishing I had some one in whom I can confide
I think of you often
Your so sweet so kind
Do you think of me
Do I even cross your mind
Scary as this may seem but
Being so far apart can be hell
each time you have to tell the other
Person goodbye or farewell
The times I spent with you
is what made my heart complete
I know one thing for sure
Without you, my future was obsolete
With you, I'm in a whole new world
You bring out the best in me
It would be hard to picture you
Not there do you agree
Though problems may lie ahead someday
And either of us could be right
I promise to always be by your side
And I promise my heart, so hold it tight
And so, each night, beside my bed
When there's only bright stars to see
I pray that we may never give up
And it will some day be you and me
If it was within my power to stop the flow of pain
I'd fill your days with sunshine where there was just rain.
If it was within my power to answer all your questions,
I'd do my best to provide the best solutions.
If it was within my power to erase the unwanted past
I'd blank it from your memory and only good ones would last.
If it was within my power to fill your life with bliss
I'd do it in a second and seal it with a kiss.
All these things I would do for you, if it was possible at all.
My life I would give up, upon your beck and call.
She whispered will it hurt me
Of course not answered he
It's a very simple process
You can rely on me
She said I'm very frightened
I've not had this before
My friend has had it five times
And said it can be sore
It was growing rather painful
Tears formed in her eyes
It was hurting quite a bit now
It must have been a size
Calm yourself he whispered
His face filled with a grin
Try and open wider
So I can get it in
It's coming now he whispered
I know she cried in bliss
Feeling it deep within her now
She said I am glad I'm having this
And with a final effort
She gave a frightened shout
He gripped it in anguish
And quickly pulled it out
She lay back quite contended
Sighed and gave a smile
She said I'm glad I came now
You made it worth my while
Now if you read this carefully
The dentist you will find
Is not what you imagined
It's just your dirty mind
If dreams were given to a lonely man,
And all my dreams came true,
I'd force myself to sleep at night
So I could dream of you.
If wishes were given to a lonely man,
And I was given two,
I'd wish for you to love me,
And the other I'd give to you.
If tears could write love songs,
Each time a tear shed through,
You'd hear this song singing
About this love I have for you.
But yet dreams are for dreamers,
And wishes seldom come true,
My tears can't write love songs,
But when they fall,
They fall for you.
The hurt and the pain I fill I can not hide,
Seeing her lying there rips me up deep inside.
I don’t understand I don’t know why,
All I know is that it hurts deep inside.
Things like this happen to people Worldwide,
So why do I feel such pain deep inside?
I feel so alone I often cry,
Please stop the hurt deep inside.
I’m not being a fool I have my pride,
I just can’t take the pain deep inside.
If only she was home that would provide,
The key to stop the pain deep inside.
My poem for ‘M’
The other night you whispered in my ear
I have a fantasy for you, if you will dare
I say, sure but just what is your intent
You say, open the package I had sent
I rip open the package and to my delight
I find a black negligee so sheer and light
I start to strip right there in front of you
Watching your smiling sexy face as I do
You tease me with a provocative dance
Seeing your smiling lustful glance
Sensuous body movements just to show
As you take your pants off so nice and slow
You say to me Babe your so good for me
Beautiful, bright, and so damn sexy
You slide your tight skirt over your hips
My tongue moistening, licking my lips
Dropping it at my feet, kicking it away
I wonder what is next you have to say
I undo your bra, letting it fall to the ground
Slipping off your panties, I see your mound
Your creamy breasts proud for me to see
I look at you, standing so confidently
My breathing is heavy, I am very aroused
You stare at my crotch, where my prick is housed
Off to the bedroom, trying not to run or rush
My face feeling the beginnings of an excited blush
We get to the bedroom, and then enter
The best place in the house, the pleasure Center
As your walking you tweak your nipples erect
Stroking them, one by one, enjoying the effect
You are so wet dripping like a warm honey pot
I swear I almost cum instantly on the very spot
I cannot hold back I am highly aroused in sexual lust
Struggling with your clothes, pussy I touch, lick I must
Together we meet on the bed, holding back no more
We make love, with great pleasure for sure
You say, my body is all yours, my sexy lover
For awhile there is silence, mutual, as we recover
A joyous moment spent in your warm embrace
Staring into my sexy lover’s face
There was a time I thought; “fear isn’t seen through these eyes”
Till I looked down at a hospital bed and there my wife lies.
The fear I thought I never had turned my stomach into a knot
It felt as if something I ate was making my stomach rot.
Doctor what is making her so sick I demand
She was fine yesterday I don’t understand.
We don’t know right now we’re waiting on a test
All we can do now is let her rest.
Not knowing what to do, looking on in dismay
I heard a voice say; “son you should find a place to pray”.
Kneeling down I said Lord please save her life
She means the world to me she’s my wife.
God tells me; “I didn’t promise days without pain,
Laughter without sorrow or sun without rain.
I am with you always never fear,
When you feel the most alone remember I am here”.
Father this is killing me and making me cry
Why is it her there Lord and not me why?
“I have cried as you have cried many times before,
I have had a broken heart yes, and so much more”.
Did I betray You Lord? I’m not an Angel I admit
Trade me places with her this is the request I submit.
“I have known betrayal of the cruelest kind,
So wipe away the pain and put it from your mind.
You have come to me with faith in prayer
Because of your faith she will be fine this I declare.
Why does it take something like this to get your attention?
You once spoke about Me now I am Someone you don’t mention”.
Forgive me Father for being weak
And help me to hear You when You speak.
“Just remember My son no one knows the hour or day
And there might not be a next time and it will be your life you’ll pay”.
My prayer for Tammie
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your healing power and for Your desire to heal Your people. I come to You now on behalf of Tammie who needs Your healing touch. I ask You, Lord, to heal her body and to restore her to complete health in You. There is a balm in Gilead, Lord, and You are the One who brings healing to the human body. You created our bodies and You are the Great Physician who knows exactly what we need in order to be well. Lord Jesus, You commanded Your disciples to heal the sick and You healed all who were brought to You. Your Word says that with Your stripes we are healed and that You are the Lord who heals us. You, Lord, took our infirmities and carried our diseases. You are the same yesterday, today and forever. You said to pray for one another that we may be healed. And, that the prayer of faith will save the sick and You will raise him up. In faith, I now bring Tammie to You, and I beseech You, Lord, to heal her even as You healed the lame, blind and afflicted when you walked the earth. All power in heaven and earth is Yours, O Lord; impart Your supernatural healing power to Tammie. Send healing on the wings of your Spirit, Lord, to her. You have promised to be her healer. Do not permit this affliction to remain with her. Bless the Lord O my soul. All that is within me bless Your holy name. I will not forget Your benefits, Lord, You forgive all our iniquities and You heal all our diseases. I hope in You, O Lord. I will ever praise You. Thank you for being health to Tammie and for healing her. Glory be to Your name forever and ever. Amen
When I’m with you ya make me happy
you keep my heart content
but you had to pay for your Jeep
so off to Nevada you went
I said that I would never again
let someone take my heart
and here I'm sitting wanting you
and hating that we're apart
Everyday you are in my thoughts
every night you're in my dreams
I can't believe what's happening
is this really what it seems
I know you only want
to be just friends
but I am asking you sincerely
if it's your rule you'll bend
to take a chance once more with me
You don't know how I'm feeling
I have yet to vocalize
Desire deep inside me
Can’t you see it in my eyes
Dare I reach out to touch you
Do you think you'd realize
How much I want and need you
Can’t you see it in my eyes
The camouflaged emotions
Lead to pain and silent cries
And yet I’m telling you
Can't you see it in my eyes
Confessing through this poem
My dilemma summarized
This feeling is quit real
I wish you could see it in my eyes
Today is the saddest day of my whole entire life
Opened the door to a cop that
Said I have bad news get your wife
What is it officer what have I done
It’s not about you it’s about your oldest son
Last night he went to sleep and I’m sorry to say he died
At that very moment I felt part of
My spirit leaves me deep with inside
Felt like someone ripped out all my joy
Way down to the depths of my soul only to destroy
The only feeling I have left is void through and through
I wonder will it ever go away
Or do I want it to
Never thought I could feel such anguish and pain
More than I ever thought one could contain
Been walking around now for hours feeling a great void
Like someone without a spirit a
Soul missing someone I ounce enjoyed
You were not only my son but also my friend
Then you’re taken from me and that I cant comprehend
I need to say this and it comes from my heart
I’m proud of you I love you and
I’m sorry we’re apart
Each day I’ll think of you and picture your smile
You’ll be on my mind every step every block every mile
I’ve never been good with words so I write it in a poem
If you were here right now I’d tell you
I love you and wish you were home
I buried my son the other today
My soul burns red with pain
No longer will I see his face
Or laugh with him again
I buried my son the other today
God, where did I go wrong
To have him die so young
When my faith in you is so strong
I buried my son the other today
My head fells like a Childs rattle
I couldn't walk this path alone
Every day is a new battle
I buried my son the other today
He was only seventeen
He had many, many friends
and they all called him Bean
If only somehow I could make him see
How very much he meant to me
Why won't the sorrow disappear
Why can't I stop shedding the tears
I seldom told him how much I cared
how much I enjoyed the things we shared
He was young
His life had just begun
All of a sudden it was taken away
Wish I could have said the things I wanted to say
Wish I would have got to see
How he would have grown up to be
A sister’s touch, A mothers kiss
A grieving Father, Son you're greatly missed
An empty house, An empty chair
A sons love, No longer there
A broken heart, Tear filled eye
Another soul to fill the sky
Many memories in my mind
Some I laugh, Some I cry
The times we shared, The things we seen
Things I miss when I think of Bean
Realizing that's all I have to hold on too
Only memories, Of what once was you
Missing your laugh, I will never again hear
That is the reality that fills me with fear
No more smile on your face
No more warmth of your embrace
The last hug, The last kiss
The last goodbye leaves me with one last wish
To have you Son, here today
Never to leave your Dad this way
A sister’s touch, A mothers kiss
A grieving Father, Son you're greatly missed
They say memories are golden
Well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories
I only wanted you
In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place
No one could ever fill
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
In months it would add up to be nine
My emotions I try and conceal
You can't imagine all the pain I feel
Thinking about the day I lost my friend
Try to block it out but it comes again
This is one thing I hope you see
Its hard to express what you mean to me
Our family chain has been broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again
You can’t feel the pain I have bared
Nor the emptiness that comes
With losing him whom I so cared
You don’t know how many times I’ve wept
How many countless dreamless
Nights that I have not slept
So don’t think I do not feel
Because you see no tears
A river rages deep inside
Of grief, and loss, and fears
Just because I do not cry now
Don’t think my heart’s not broken
I keep inside the misery
Of words not to be spoken
Sometimes I smile or crack a joke
So you won’t see my pain
Or notice how my hands will shake
Or how I feel like I’m going insane
Each time I think of him
My heart is ripped asunder
The loss I feel is mine alone
You will not see my thunder
Reminiscing about the times we shared
Memories that could never be compared
I look at your picture and a smile becomes a spark
Then I remember what happened and that smile turns dark
For so many nights I’ve cried in vain
because I can hardly bare this pain
You had so many talents so many dreams to fill
But now you lie in silence so peaceful and still
You look like you were in a deep, deep sleep
I remember hugging your Mom as she began to weep
No one has ever seen someone so sad
My heart aches oh so bad
I’m not to happy any more
my personality is getting bleak
Don’t feel much like smiling no more
Don’t even want to speak
Been pushing away all I love
Thinking of only myself
If someone got to close them I would shove
I put all other emotions on a shelf
I wish I could make someone see
I wish I could make someone comprehend
I just want someone to see
How it feels to lose my son and my friend
This is something I feel my son wants me to say
Sense he’s no longer here and has gone away
I seen you all the other afternoon
I seen you at my funeral holding that balloon
I’m here with Jesus now and I’m looking down
Wanting to see you smile and not frown
I want to see you again but there’s only one way
And I would like to tell you if I may
It’s not hard at all and this is how it begins
Ask Jesus to come in to your life and wash away all your sins
Ask Him to change what’s wrong and make it right
Please do this for me please do it tonight
Because I want to see you again and there’s only one way
Please talk to Jesus and please don’t delay
You doing alright?
No not at all
Will you win this fight?
God picks me up when I fall
Does it make you just want to scream
This all is hard to swallow
Ever think it’s all a dream?
My dreams are all now hollow.
I see your writing him a letter,
It’s only for him to read,
Does it make you feel better
It does indeed
I’ve never lost a child
And I hope you never do
It’s got to be pretty wild
You haven’t got a clue
You’ll feel better in time
My head hasn’t been to clear
Your gonna be just fine
Wish I could just disappear
Need a shoulder to cry on
I cry when I’m alone
You seem to be withdrawn
Just can’t believe he’s gone
In a year or two you’ll be okay
That’s easy for you to say
I to have been sad and in dismay
Ever had your heart decay
How is Tammie she doing okay
As well as should be expected,
Think your kids feel the pain, how are they today
Not well, of course they were affected
You I will now try and educate
And I will not exaggerate
Day by day the pain only escalated
It’s harder than I anticipated
It only gets more and more complicated
What life has just demonstrated
I’d deeply appreciate
I’d even celebrate
If you could take all the strife
From me and my wife
And give us back the part of us we once had
And now is gone that’s our little lad
He was our friend our son our boy
We miss him he is our pride and joy
We’ll give anything no matter the price
Anything we have and not think twice
Even if it’s only for a minute to say goodbye
Will someone do this for us will you please try
He wakes to the sound of hearing his child
Just another dream and far from being mild
He curls back under his sheets
And here the imaginary world is complete
He imagines the fun times and laughter galore
Fishing and hunting and so much more
It all comes to an abrupt halt
He starts thinking was it his fault
He looks up at his sons picture into his eyes
He solemnly looks down and silently cries
He feels such pain his body is numb
He was his son his friend his chum
Crouching beside the bed he silently prays
That the pain will subside he feels in these days
The room Is silent and he feels so alone
But this is not how it’s always been in this home
He wonders if from this he will ever rebound
Or if it will haunt him to the ground
He remembers telling family on the phone
Couldn’t hardly speak just kind of a moan
His hands trembled as he made the call
Please let this be a dream that will change it all
But it’s not a dream it’s his worst fear
Dear God this is all so unclear
Darkness has come
I'm alone in the night
Hiding my feelings
Out of everyone's sight
Despair fills my soul
which as a fact is quite strange
Cause my inside feels empty
my feelings have changed
I'm so sad and confused
Feel like a lost little girl
I feel like an oyster
With out its pearl
I'll never forget
And will always love you
But we'll meet again
This I know is true
Don’t tell me you know how I feel
You haven’t walked in my shoes
You can’t imagine the pain I feel
Or how my heart is now a bruise
Don’t tell me I have other children to love
I do but that won’t bring back my son
He held a special place in my heart
That no one can replace no not one
Don’t tell me to get out of the house
Maybe I just want to stay here and mourn
I don’t expect you to understand
How bad my heart has been torn
Don’t tell me it will get better in time
Don’t you think that would be my intent
It’s been nine months and its not happening
I still go through each day with this torment
Don’t tell me to try to get some sleep
Don’t you think I would love to sleep
I often lie in bed staring off in space
Thinking about him and just weep
Don’t tell me all this
you haven’t walked in my shoes
Do pray for me.
That is all I ask.
Dear grandma
This is something I feel my Son wants me to say
Because he is no longer with me and has gone away
Many times I've wanted to tell you this but never got a chance
you helped me out in life no matter what the circumstance
Thank you Grandma for the lunch money each day
Thank you for each time you felt for me, you should pray
I looked up to you Grandma and I love you very much
don’t know what it would have been like without your loving touch
Grandma you are a person with love that’s hard to comprehend
you were not only just my Grandma but forever my friend
But I’m looking down wondering why you’re all so sad
You, my mom, and of course my dad
I know you miss me but try and understand
Long ago God already had everything planned
So please don’t be sad and smile for me
It may be hard but can’t you see
I’m here with Jesus now and He’s holding my hand
I’m here with Him in the promise land
What do people pray about when they PRAY-n-PRAY-n-PRAY
I pray for 5 or 10 minutes than my mind goes astray
Do they say the same prayer over and over, year after year
That is what I find myself doing, but when I pray I`m sincere
Do they say it word for word without even thinking like a routine
Why everything your going to say God has already foreseen
After people pray for a long time do they feel cool calm collected
And if it`s a short prayer will they feel rejected
Is there a certain way you should pray and another way is wrong
I really wish I knew how to be a good prayer, that is what I long
I’m already a good prayer and the devil is trying to deceive
Or maybe I`m not doing it right, could I be that naïve
Sometimes before I pray, I`ll be feeling empty, blank with void
And at other times I`ll say a short prayer and feel over joyed
Some folks say that you should pray for awhile than just wait
I`ve tried that, but after awhile I find it hard to concentrate
If I`m not praying the right way, should I be feeling shame
I guess I should because I would be the only one to blame
God created the Heavens and the Earth & still wasn’t done
You’ll find it at the beginning of the Bible in Genesis 1:1
All fall short of the glory of God & that includes me
It’s all written down in the Scripture’s look up Romans 3:23
You must be Born Again to get to Heaven don’t you see
It says so in the Bible all you have to do is look up John 3:3
You will reap what you sow when you get to Heaven
You can find that in the New Testament under Galatians 6:7
God can NOT be tempted by good or evil or any thing in between
Jesus brother wrote about it’s in the Bible under James 1:13
You shall be Saved if you confess, but don’t take to much time
Read about it in the good book look up Romans 10:9
Keep the TEN COMMANDMENTS and don’t make a scene
God gave them to Moses it’s all there under Exodus 20:3-17
My God is a jealous God, to please Him is what I strive
He’s King of Kings, He’s Lord of Lords it’s in Exodus 20:5
God will never leave nor forsake you, or leave you in a fix
For it is written in the Bible see for yourself in Deuteronomy 31:6
Do not test the Lord your God, for he is pure & clean,
And once again you will find it in the Bible in Deuteronomy 6:16
Who was it that said real men don’t cry
Has he ever had his child die
Has he never had no one close to him that died
A mother, a father, or his bride
The Lord of Lords Jesus Christ even wept
And He was the only man that was prefect
I often wonder about that guy
He has to know he’s told everyone a lie
Mother I’m here and the streets are made of gold,
You should see my mansion it`s something to behold.
Mother All the pain I had is with me no more,
It’s so peaceful here there’s no fighting; there’s no war.
Mother tell my wife not to cry, that I’m not dead but Alive,
That I’m here with Jesus in Heaven I did arrive.
Mother tell my son I love him and one day we’ll be together,
If he keeps his eyes on Jesus soon he’ll be with me forever.
Mother tell my daughter I miss her and her I do cherish,
Tell her I have seen her mansion and it is lavish.
Mother tell my sisters I have a love for them I treasure,
But Jesus has a love for them that you can not measure.
Mother I talked with Jesus and He mentioned your name,
He said He loves you, and in you He has no shame.
Mother thank you for loving me and raising me the right way,
I can’t wait to see you again I can’t for that day.
This is just a few words of advice and a few tips,
You can preach a better sermon with your life not your lips.
The greatest message ever heard came from an empty tomb,
You do know what I’m talking about I presume.
It’s good to be a Christian and know it,
But it’s better to be a Christian and show it.
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage,
We’ll all go through trials no matter what our age.
Thank God for what you have, trust God for what you need,
And Pray each day that you never give into greed.
Is what you’re living for worth Christ dying for?
He gave His life so you would have a key to Heavens door.
He came to pay a debt He didn’t owe, cuz we owed a debt we couldn’t pay,
So keep your eyes on Jesus and He’ll show you the way.
Prayer is the key to Heaven but faith unlocks the door,
Ask God to build your faith, ask Him to give you more.
Prayer will put backbone where your wishbone is right now,
Just get down on your knees and pray, get down and bow.
If we meet and you forget me, you have lost nothing,
But if you meet Jesus and forget Him, you’ve lost everything.
The chain of a Mothers prayer can link her son to the Lord,
I’m living Proof of that see you in Heaven Mother what a great reward.
What do people pray about when they pray n pray
I pray for five or ten minutes then my mind goes astray
Do they say the same prayer over& over Year after Year
That is what I find myself doing, but when I pray I’m sincere
Do they say it word for word without even thinking like a routine
Why do that when everything you’re going to say God has foreseen
After people pray for a long time, do they feel calm and collected
And if it’s a short prayer will they feel rejected
Is one way right and another way wrong
Being a good prayer is what I long
Am I already a good prayer and the devil is trying to deceive
Or maybe I’m not doing it right is that naive
Sometimes before I pray Ill be feeling empty blank with void
And other times I’ll say a short prayer and feel over joyed
Some folks say that you should pray for awhile than Just wait
I’ve tried that, but after awhile I find it hard to concentrate
If I’m not praying the right way, should I be feeling shame
I should because I would be the only one to blame
Why do you suppose God allows some people
To be rich and other’s to be poor?
I know He loves us all the same because
He sent His only Son to die for us Jesus our Savior.
If all mankind are created equal, why are
Some folks weak and other are strong?
When we all get to Heaven I don’t think these
Questions will matter, that’s my opinion am I wrong?
It’s hard to understand allot of things,
Like why a Small child has to feel pain,
And other people grow to be 80 or 90
Years old, than go insane.
Are we suppose to ask these kind of questions?
I’m not trying to put God to a test,
There are just so many things I don’t understand
Do we talk about it, or leave it to rest?
Maybe things happen to build our faith, to some
Things God wants our eyes closed,
We’ll know all when we get to Heaven
Than everything will be exposed.
I believe that faith is the answer,
And faith is the key,
Without faith how would you carry on?
Without any faith Id feel empty.
The one thing I know for sure and this
Is not fiction, it’s a fact,
Jesus died on the cross for you and me,
And that should be a big impact.
You know Jesus could have called ten thousand
Angels to stop from hanging on that tree,
It wasn’t the people or the nails that held
Him there it was the love He has for you and me.
Jesus said; "If you have faith it will move a
Mountain with as little as a mustard seed,
Jesus had faith in His Father, it’s written the Bible
And the Bible doesn’t mislead.
I was burning the candle at both ends,
I wasn’t happy, I was playing pretends.
I had my moments of weakness,
Feeling lonely, feeling worthless.
That was a time when I felt all hope was gone,
I was very depressed, and feeling withdrawn.
Jesus forgave my sins and I did revive,
And this is my story; I’m here to testify.
Now I have God and He gives me my strength,
His love is real and long it has no length.
Take a look around you at everything you see,
God made it all; He made it for you and me.
If you’re feeling sad or feeling guilt,
Jesus can change your life it can be rebuilt.
This all didn’t happen by the big bang,
If you believe that, you have nothing to gain.
Jesus is Lord; He’s not an imitation,
Keep your eyes on Him He’s a good foundation.
You don’t have to worry or have any doubt,
He will never leave you He’ll never sell you out.
I would wake up each morning knowing I was living in sin,
And wouldn’t take the time to ask Jesus to come within.
All I cared about was drinking and getting high,
When people would stop to visit, I would say; got to go I would lie.
I felt so empty there were times I couldn’t cope,
All because of Satin, his alcohol, his lies, his dope.
Then one day I got busted and ended up in jail,
The Judge gave me 0 to 5 years in a 6’ x 9’ cell.
I hit my knees and prayed; “God I need You, You’re my only hope”,
I’m tired of the way I’ve been living please help me get off the dope.
God said; “ son all you had to do was ask your sins are now forgiven,
You no longer have to go on the way you’ve been living.
It’s now three years later I’m out of jail and have salvation,
My name is in the book of life and Heaven is my destination.
So if you’re tired of this cruel world or have a drug addiction,
All you have to do is; remember Jesus the cross and His crucifixion.
Jesus Christ can do miracles so don’t ever be mislead,
Look at what He did for Lazaus, He raised him from the dead.
Say this prayer; “God I believe Jesus died, rose, and now is with You,
Jesus come into my heart make me whole make me new.
Lord wash away all my sins and change my condition,
I love You Lord Your King of Kings and the head physician.
Now say out loud; “Jesus is Lord I am now saved”,
I am no longer under the devils power to him I’m not enslaved.
Iron doors slam I’m like an animal in a cage,
They strip away your dignity not caring about your age
.
At night all you here are the sound of the guards keys;
He’s slithering around looking for some thing to seize.
Hide all your pain don’t let anyone see any fear,
Don’t let the see you cry, don’t let them see a tear.
You’ll have time to read you’ll have time to think,
Don’t ever turn your back on anyone don’t even blink.
Trust no one around you every one is a stranger,
Let your guard down and you’re in danger.
Say the wrong thing and you may lose your life,
Make someone mad and they’ll cut you with a knife.
Live up to your reputation that’s something to protect,
Lose your reputation and you’ll lose all your respect.
You’ll start to go crazy you’ll think you’re insane,
You want to scream out in horror but it’s all in vain.
A man next to me cut his wrists blood hits the floor,
This place got to him he couldn't take it anymore.
Just an hour ago he told me he was in great despair,
now he’s going to meet his maker did he prepare?
Now there’s a vile smell in the air that smell of death;
He took his own live cause he got busted with meth.
It’s quite now every one is in there own thought
Looking in to space wondering when they’ll rot.
A few hours have now passed obvious it seems,
You can hear the noise, you can hear the screams.
If only I could turn the clock back a year or two,
The things that got me in this place I wouldn't do.
It always happens there’s few exceptions to the rule,
Break the law and you’ll end up in prison you fool.
My house is one of heartache
A place of steel and stone
A barren cell a home in hell
And here I stand alone.
And when I rage and pace my cage
That no man wants to own
My body aches with frozen stakes
That chills me to the bone
I hear them sling there giant keys
And crank the iron locks
The scrape of feet on concrete
The guards patrol the blocks
Convicts knifes take human life’s
No jungle holds more danger
And each new day that comes my way
Each man remains a stranger
I watch my back because there’s alack
Of men who can be trusted
And through the haze there comes a rage
Because this place makes me disgusted
They came today and took away
The man that lived next door
To end his strife he took his life
He couldn’t take any more
It’s quiet here upon the tier
Since death has claimed a brother
Now each of us are wondering
Who might another?
Once upon a time I thought I could make words rhyme.
It wasn't hard to do because I was doing time.
With two zero to fives,
I sometimes found it hard to survive.
So I smile in the guards face
And wait for another time and place.
Being locked in a cell 24 hours a day,
Seems I can never chase these gloomy days away.
Life is hard then it gets harder,
Being a man you have to be able to reach farther.
You have to have the tools of life to complete your journey,
And realize at the same time there is no big hurry.
Living and learning is how you gain wisdom,
But take it slow or you may end up in prison.
I seek knowledge every single day,
I hope these words can help you in some sort of way.
Life in here you have to share with others,
Which is fine with the ones I consider my brothers.
Why am I making words rhyme?
For you brother hoping to save you from doing time.
LOST AND ALL ALONE
Lost and all alone
Looking thru bars I now call my home.
Confused and feeling abandoned I hang my head in shame,
Its no Ones fault only me to blame.
The windows have bars the doors Have locks,
Watching the prison guards patrol the blocks.
You Cant see the sun its dark at night,
Everything is lit up by an Ultraviolet light.
Than I heard a gentle voice say; “Son don’t Despair,
I died on the cross for you, I love you, I care.
You don’t Have to live in sin or wear a mask,
Your sins will be forgiven if Only you’ll ask.
The life that your leading is not of the Lord,
Come To me now and Heaven will be your reward.
When I died on the Cross as I took my last breath,
I defeated Satin I conquered death.
In three days I rose again that you can not deny,
Now I sit at my Fathers right hand I sit on High.
I have told you this you have Heard My voice,
Now it’s all up to you its your choice.
I asked Jesus to come into my heart that day,
I asked Him to keep the Devil At bay.
I got out of prison, which for me was living hell,
I said Goodbye to all my old habits and told Satin farewell.
No matter What you have done or the color of your skin,
Jesus died for you Ask Him to come within.
In Heaven you’ll have no worries you’ll Never grow old,
In Heaven you’ll be with Jesus and His streets are Paved in gold.
I’m sharing my testimony with you, so that God will get the Glory and Honor for what He has done in my Life.
Before you read my testimony I wanted to remind you that life is all about Choices.
You are reading this because you chose to, if the color of your car is green, that is because you chose that color. We don’t always make the right choice, that’s only human nature but the BIGGEST choice you will ever make is if you are going to
HEAVEN
Or
HELL
If JESUS was to come back today would you be going to heaven? Not sure? At the end of my Testimony is the sinners prayer,
I can remember going to church with my mother as a kid.
My mother instilled in me a simple faith in Jesus: to be like Him,
To be kind, to love one another, to obey the Ten Commandments.
My father and mother divorced when I was around two.
My father never did anything for us kids; my mother had to work two and sometimes three jobs to support us.
I thank God for my mother; she would do anything for us kids.
There were many times that I brought pain, shame and embarrassment to her, in which now I regret deeply.
I was a sinful teen and grew up to be an even more sinful adult.
My mother spent many many hours on her knees praying for me.
I married my first wife when I was 17; we had two children Amber (now 24) & Ashley (now22). We got a divorce after 4 years, that’s when I started to party a lot.
A few years later I married my second wife, we also had two kids Dustin (now 15) & Amanda (now 13) my wife and I started to do drugs, and everything went "down hill". I had the attitude that "nothing matters" When deep inside I knew the absolute truths that I was taught in church and by my mother". But still I fell farther and farther away from God.
My second wife and I split up in 1995. She was doing drugs, so my son (Dustin) lived with me, and my daughter (Amanda) lived with my sister Carol.
I went deeper into the devil’s grip. I didn't follow the Bible's principles and though I thought I was, I certainly wasn't a responsible parent by any stretch of the imagination. I was looking for something to fulfill me inside and thought that drugs and alcohol would do it.
My life revolved around dope. I ended up in prison in March of 1997.
I won’t go in to detail because I refuse to give the devil a smile.
Prison is a lonely, ugly place. I woke up one morning in a 6x10 cell,
I thought, "This has to be a dream" It wasn’t! "I felt all alone."
Can you imagine what a parent goes through when their child turns from all that they were taught -God and right from wrong- and turns instead to a life-style of alcohol and drugs and cause nothing but heartache and pain? I had hit rock bottom.
Prison is no joke people don’t play games. You say the wrong word to someone and they won’t hesitate to shove a pen in your neck.
I seen people get beat so bad that you couldn’t even recognize them.
One day while I was in class (drug rehabilitation) I was asked;
“Who are your victims” I said that I didn’t have any victims because
I was locked up for a non violent crime therefore I haven’t hurt no one but myself. That’s when another inmate asked if I had kids and family members and if so then they are the victims. It was only then that I realized that I not only hurt myself but my family.
The only time life entered me was when I saw my family come to visit.
But the hard part about that was when visiting hour was over.
Give them all a hug and do everything in your power to hold back the tears.
But God was in control.
Jesus was reaching out to me. I started to do something I had not done for along time; “Pray” God told me that I was not alone
He was still with me. I asked Jesus to come back in to my life. I recommitted my life back to the Lord while in prison.
I found peace in that prison cell.
Only by the grace of God I was released in may of 1998.
The things that I did that put me in prison have been forgiven by the grace of God Almighty and only through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
I got my kids back and six months after my release God blessed me with a new home, something I never even dreamed I would have.
In April of 2000 my second wife (Tammie) and I got back together,
She has been drug free ever sense, She gave her life to the Lord in 2001.
I now write to people who are in prison and tell them about Jesus.
When I tell them that I have been through what they are going through they’ll listen to what I have to say. And with the help of God
A few of them will give there life to the Lord.
I attend church each Sunday, and in September of 1999 I was baptized. I am a born again Christian and proud of it.
God has blessed me with a new home, a new car, and most of all my family,
I owe everything that I will be, and am, to GOD.
GLORY BE TO GOD!
I don't know what is in the future for me, but praise the Lord, now I know who holds the future, and I can safely trust my all to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I was lost and Jesus found me! He delivered me and saved me from my sins: I don’t have to submit myself to alcohol or drugs any more,
"PRAISE GOD"
I can say without hesitation that coming to Christ will change anyone's life.
Jesus answered, "Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God."
John 3:5
As I heard them lift their voices, to the words of Amazing Grace;
I lifted my eyes to Heaven, with a glow upon my face.
Many time I had heard those words, yet each time they brought the tears;
Like a sword they pierced the heart, as they had done throughout the years.
The old rugged cross still stands for the One who died for me;
If I close my eyes real tight, I can see him upon that tree.
Like the thief who hung beside Him, I would give up my last breath;
Just to be with Him in Heaven, never again would I know death.
Glory Hallelujah; at last I am homeward bound;
My forwarding address will be Heaven, there with my Father, I can be found.
I thank God each and every day for my mother, and all the hours she spent on her knees praying for me, she never gave up on me.
There’s but one true lady love in my life, one women who fulfills our need;
Against all others she takes her stand, that in life you may always succeed.
In good times or bad she’s there, making sure her presence is known.
She’s your nurse in time of sickness, and will never let you suffer pain;
A constant comfort when you’re troubled, by your side she shall always remain.
A shoulder to cry on when needed, she’ll not make you feel less of a man;
When doubting you can go one step farther, she encourages you to believe you can.
She’s your friend and constant companion, all your trust is well placed in her;
When all others in life have failed you, she shall always be there-to be sure.
Who is this women you may ask me? I can assure you it is none other;
This true love in my life, is the women I call my
"MOTHER"
I thank God for my two sisters Debbie, and Carol they never gave up on their little brother either. They have done more for me then I could ever begin to repay.
"THANK YOU JESUS"
That if you confess with your mouth,
"JESUS IS LORD"
And believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Kevin B. 5-14-2002
Pray:
"Father, I am a sinner. I believe Jesus is the Son of God, that He died for me and rose on the third day, alive forevermore. Forgive my sins, come into my heart and be my personal Lord and Savior. Thank you, Jesus, for saving me. I denounce Satan, and all his evil works, and set my eyes on Your work Lord, and will serve you with all my heart. In Jesus Name, Amen"
OUR FATHER in HEAVEN
Whose love is divine,
Thanks for the love
of a Mother like mine.
And in Thy great mercy
look down from Above
And grant this dear Mother
the GIFT of YOUR LOVE.
And all through the year,
Let nothing be a blur,
Assure her each day that
You are beside her.
And, Father in Heaven,
show me the way
To lighten her tasks
and brighten her day.
And bless her dear heart
with the insight to see
That her love means more
than the World to Me!'
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm in love
But not with you
When we broke up
You thought I cried
But all it was
Was a big lie
You told your friends I was a prick
So I told my friends you were a sick chick
I told you I loved you
You thought it was true
Guess what girl
You got played too
