TODAY I CAN
TODAY I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIFE OF ANOTHER
I CAN LEND A HELPING HAND TO A SISTER OR A BROTHER
TODAY I CAN SPEND SOME TIME WITH SOMEONE WHOS ALL ALONE
A VISIT FACE TO FACE IS BETTER THAN CALLING ON THE PHONE
TODAY I CAN SAY I LOVE YOU TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS
THOSE WORDS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN A STORMS RAGING WINDS
TODAY I CAN EASE A BURDEN BY HELPING TO CARRY A LOAD
IT WOULD MAKE THE JOURNEY SHORTER AS WE TRAVEL DOWN THE ROAD
TODAY I CAN!
BUT TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE!

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL
THANK YOU ANGEL FOR WATCHING OVER ME
YOUR WINGS OF PROTECTION ARE PLAIN TO SEE
YOU DETOUR TROUBLE THAT OFTEN LOOKS MY WAY
YOUR PRESENCE IS FELT THROUGHOUT THE DAY
GOD GAVE YOU AN ASSIGNMENT TO WALK BY MY SIDE
HEAVEN HAS GRANTED ME A PERFECT GUIDE
I PRAY THAT MY HAND YOU WILL ALWAYS HOLD
SOMEDAY YOU WILL ESCORT ME TO THOSE STREETS OF GOLD
WHEN MY LIFE IS OVER AND I SAY GOODBYE
ME AND MY ANGEL WILL SAIL THROUGH THE SKY

THE HARVEST IS PLENTEOUS
THE HARVEST IS PLENTEOUS BUT THE LABOURERS ARE FEW
AS A CHRISTIAN YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO
WE ALL HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS LOST IN A WORLD OF SIN
HOW GREAT IS YOUR DESIRE TO SEE THEM BROUGHT IN
WE MUST ENTER THE
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT YOU PRAYED ALL NIGHT
WE HAVE A GREAT
LETS GET IN THE HARVEST FIELD BEFORE OUR TIME PASSES AWAY
IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT AND THE END IS DRAWING NIGH
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL HELP US IF WE MAKE AN EFFORT TO TRY

THEY SAY
THEY SAY THAT THINGS ARE NOT LOOKING GOOD
I SERVE A LIVING GOD, NOT A GOD OF WOOD
THEY SAY THAT MY TIME IS RUNNING OUT
I HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE AND NEVER DOUBT
THEY SAY THAT I HAVE NO OPTIONS CONCERNING MY CASE
I'M TRUSTING IN THE GOD OF MERCY AND GRACE
THEY SAY THAT THERES A POSSIBILITY THAT I COULD DIE
I'M GOING TO LIVE FOREVER AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY
I'M A CHRISTIAN AND JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR ME
THEY CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT BUT I WILL LIVE FOR ETERNITY

WHO,WHAT,WHERE,WHEN,HOW
WHO CAN SAVE ME FROM A WORLD OF SIN ?
JESUS CAN IF YOU'LL INVITE HIM IN !
WHAT IS IT THAT I MUST DO ?
BELIEVE THAT HE DIED FOR YOU !
WHERE MUST I GO TO SEEK HIS LOVING FACE ?
RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE , THAT WOULD BE THE PLACE !
WHEN CAN I EXPERIENCE THIS LIFE CHANGING POWER ?
THERE IS NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT HOUR !
HOW CAN HE FORGIVE ME WHEN I'M NOTHING MORE THAN MUD ?
IT'S ALL MADE POSSIBLE WITH THE SHEDDING OF HIS BLOOD

THE PASTOR’S WIFE
SHE INTERCEDES ON HIS BEHALF, BY SPENDING TIME IN PRAYER
SHE GIVES AN ABUNDANCE OF TENDER LOVE AND CARE
SHE DOESN'T WALK BEHIND HIM, SHE WALKS BY HIS SIDE
TOGETHER THEY ARE ONE, AND JESUS CHRIST IS THEIR GUIDE
SHE HAS A SPIRIT OF GIVING AND HELPS WATCH OVER THE FLOCK
SHE IS ALWAYS ON CALL AND NEVER OFF THE CLOCK
SHE HAS A GREAT HUNGER TO REACH THE LOST
SHE DOES ALL SHE CAN AND CONSIDERS NOT THE COST
SHE SUPPORTS HER HUSBAND AND LENDS A SHOULDER WHEN HE NEEDS TO CRY
HER CALLING IS FROM HEAVEN AND THIS SHE CANNOT DENY
SHE IS ALWAYS LOOKING TO PUT AN END TO ENVY AND STRIFE
THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY IS THE PASTOR'S WIFE.

I MAY BE DIFFERENT
I AM BLIND, I CANNOT SEE
WHEN SOMEONE WAVES AT ME
I AM DEAF, I CANNOT HEAR
WHEN MY MOTHER CALLS ME NEAR
I AM CRIPPLED, I CANNOT RUN AND PLAY
THIS OFTEN MAKES FOR A LONELY DAY
I AM MUTE, I CANNOT SPEAK
MY SELF-ESTEEM IS OFTEN WEAK
I MAY BE DIFFERENT BUT I BELIEVE IN FATE
SOMEDAY I'LL BE PERFECT, WHEN I ENTER THAT HEAVENLY GATE

I LOVE THAT GOSPEL MUSIC
I THANK YOU LORD, THAT THE OLD MAN IS DEAD
PLEASE FORGIVE ME, THOSE WORDS I SAID
YOU WHISPER , LEAN ON ME AND YOU CAN STAND
IT JUST TOOK THE WAVE OF HIS HAND
LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS EASY BUT THE ANCHOR HOLDS
WE HAVE ANGEL'S AMOUNG US AS WE GROW OLD
YOU'RE RIGHT ON TIME TO DELIVER AND SET ME FREE
SOMETIMES I MUST SAY, THIS VALLEY IS FOR ME
THERE IS PEACE IN THE VALLEY BECAUSE THE BLOOD IS STILL THERE
LISTENS TO OUR HEARTS AND TEACH US TO CARE
I CAN'T EVEN WALK UNLESS HE GUIDES THE WAY
LETS HAVE CHURCH IN THIS FINAL DAY
RESTLESS HEARTS ARE YEARNING FOR A CROWN
THERES COMING A DAY WHEN I LAY MY BURDENS DOWN

SOMBER HEART'S
SADNESS SETS IN FOR MANY REASONS
DEPRESSION CHANGES WITH THE SEASONS
WINTER BRINGS A SHADOW OF GLOOM
DARKNESS HOVERS ABOUT THE ROOM
WARM SUMMER DAYS ARE A THING OF THE PAST
THE CALENDAR PAGES FLIPPED SO FAST
THE LEAVES ARE GATHERING UPON THE GROUND
FROWNING FACES ARE EASILY FOUND
SOMBER HEARTS ARE YEARNING FOR THE FLOWERS OF SPRING
LET JESUS CHRIST GIVE YOUR HEART A REASON TO SING

THE MIRACLE OF LIFE
MAN WAS CREATED FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND
THIS MIRACULOUS ACT WILL SURELY ASTOUND
GOD SET THE EARTH IN ORBIT WITH A SINGLE MOTION
HIS MIGHTY HANDS MEASURED OUT THE OCEAN
HE CREATED ALL LIVING CREATURES THAT WALK THE EARTH
HE ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BIRTH
THE FLOWERS AND TREES ARE SO MUCH ALIVE
THE MASTER IS THE REASON THEY CONTINUE TO THRIVE
THE MIRACLE OF LIFE IS NEITHER STRANGE NOR ODD
THE MIRACLE OF LIFE IS GOD

THAT’S NOT ODD THAT’S GOD
HOW BEAUTIFUL THE OAK SO STRONG AND GRAND
IT STARTED AS AN ACORN YOU COULD HOLD IN YOUR HAND
THE STARS IN THE SKY LOOKING SO BRIGHT
IT'S GOD IN HEAVEN WHO PUT THEM IN FLIGHT
THE MOUNTAINS SO GREAT, OVER LOOKING THE SEA
MAY THE MIGHTY EAGLE FIND REST IN THEE
THE AMAZING SUN PROVIDES WARMTH BY DAY
THE MOON AT NIGHT GUIDES OUR WAY
FRIEND DON'T THINK THAT THESE THINGS ARE ODD
THAT'S NOT ODD, THAT'S GOD

A HOMELESS MAN
ALL OF HIS POSSESSIONS IN A PILLOW CASE
A THREE DAY BEARD UPON HIS FACE
NO FAMILY TO LEND A HELPING HAND
SO WEAK FROM HUNGER THAT HE CAN BARELY STAND
EACH DAY IS FILLED WITH HOPELESS DREAD
DREAMS NO LONGER FILL HIS HEAD
FIVE LONG YEARS SLEEPING BENEATH THE MOON
CHANGES ARE COMING VERY SOON
AN OLD MAN SIGHED AS HE TOOK HIS FINAL BREATH
THE LOCAL PAPER TOLD OF HIS DEATH
HOME SWEET HOME ABOVE HIS DOOR
LIVING IN HEAVEN FOREVER MORE

LET ME LIVE
LET ME LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY
I HAVE MANY PRAYERS THAT I MUST PRAY
LET ME LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER SUNRISE
I MUST RELEASE THESE TEARS WITHIN MY EYES
LET ME LIVE TO SEE MY FAMILY RECEIVE THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE
GODLY FAITH CAN PUT AN END TO ALL THE ENVY AND STRIFE
LET ME LIVE TO SEE REVIVAL TAKE OVER THIS LAND
MIRACLES ARE PRESENT WITHIN THE MASTERS HAND
LET ME LIVE TO SEE JESUS RETURN IN THE EASTERN SKY
SOMEDAY I'LL LIVE FOREVER AND I'LL NEVER DIE
POEM BY LEE ALLISON © copyright

IN HIS PRESENCE
IN HIS PRESENCE, I FIND A HEART THAT'S CONTENT
I'M THANKFUL FOR THE SON THAT HE SENT
IN HIS PRESENCE, I FIND A LOVE THAT'S COMPLETE
I LONG TO BOW AT THE MASTERS FEET
IN HIS PRESENCE, I FIND HOPE FOR A WORLD OF SIN
I CAN VISUALIZE MY FAMILY COMING IN
IN HIS PRESENCE, I FIND GRACE AND MERCY LIKE NEVER BEFORE
THE KING OF KINGS IS KNOCKING UPON MY HEARTS DOOR
IN HIS PRESENCE, I FIND VICTORY THROUGH HIS NAIL SCARRED HAND
REVIVAL WINDS ARE BEGINNING TO BLOW ACROSS THIS LAND

LORD HELP ME
LORD HELP ME TO BECOME WHO YOU WOULD HAVE ME TO BE
THERE ARE THINGS IN MY LIFE THAT I MUST SET FREE
LISTEN TO MY HEART AS IT CRIES OUT TO YOU
I'M SEARCHING FOR A MIRACLE THAT ONLY YOU CAN DO
I'M PUTTING MY PROBLEMS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
GIVE ME STRENGTH SO THAT I CAN PATIENTLY STAND
TAKE MY LIFE AND TURN IT AROUND
SET MY FEET UPON SOLID GROUND
LORD FIX ALL THOSE THINGS THAT ARE OUT OF PLACE
MAY I ALWAYS BE FOUND SEEKING YOUR FACE

LORD TEACH ME
LORD TEACH ME HOW TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAILY GRIND
SHOW ME HOW TO CLEAR A CLUTTERED MIND
TEACH ME HOW TO WALK THE RIGHTEOUS PATH
PLEASE FORGIVE ME, SO THAT I CAN AVOID YOUR WRATH
TEACH ME HOW TO BE THE FATHER THAT MY CHILDREN DESERVE
SHOW ME HOW TO CONDUCT MYSELF, WHEN LIFE THROWS ME A CURVE
TEACH ME HOW TO WALK IN YOUR PERFECT WILL
I WANT TO EXPERIENCE A CHRISTIAN LIFE THAT'S REAL
TEACH ME HOW TO LOVE WITH A HEART THAT'S TRUE
I'M PUTTING ALL MY FAITH AND TRUST IN YOU

THE OLD RIVERBANK
THERE IS A PLACE I GO, WHEN I DESIRE TO BE ALONE
THIS IS MY PLACE OF ESCAPE, FROM THE RINGING PHONE
THIS PLACE OF BEAUTY WILL SURELY ASTOUND
THE WIND CARRIES THE VOICE OF NATURES SOUND
THE BIRDS NEVER CEASE TO SING A HAPPY SONG
MY HEART JOINS IN RHYTHM AND SINGS ALONG
THE RUNNING WATER PLAYS A MELODY THAT PUTS ME IN A TRANCE
THIS IS GODS CREATION, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN BY CHANCE
I MEET A GOOD FRIEND BY THE RIVERBANK EACH DAY
JESUS SHOWS UP AS I BOW MY HEAD TO PRAY
