Welcome

Look at me clearly and full in the face
And don't shake your head in disgust and disgrace
I, want to show you, the right way to go
Listen to me, and don't say no!

I'll forever be vigilant and stand at your door
I want what's the best, not to lay down the Law,
I've stood here forever, just calling your name,
All I ever want is your love to gain,

You keep turning your back and facing the wall,
You can see me die, but you can't hear me call,
I gave you a Book, so that you could turn around,
So my Spirit could work, and say, "It's you I've found"

I can see what you do with your life at your feet
I can hear what you say to your friends in the street,
So, I'll stand out here waiting, all through the night,
I'll stand out here calling, till you see the light,

You do know about me, and my love for you,
And the sacrifice I made, was made for you too,
There was no other way of you, meeting me,
I want us to be friends, like we ought to be,

I've heard you pray, when troubled times chime
Then pray no more, when things are fine,
I want you more than that, such as your heart,
Anything else shall be turned down flat,

I love you, and want you to open up your door,
I bought you, and paid for you, many years before,
So, I'll stand here, and wait for you, to bid me come in,
And the blessings you'll receive, will soon flood in,

So here is the question, I'll ask you anew,,
Opened or Closed,,,,,, What will you do?

Remember all the things we used to do
Remember how we walked and talked
How can I dismiss all the good times
When I was away, it was me you sought
Remember the evenings and days, by my side
I remember them so well
Remember picking me up, in your strong loving arms,
No matter, how many times I fell
Remember the time, when I told you this,
That my innermost feelings, just wanted to be loved
I needed the reassurance of your gentle touch
Then I got the feeling, like I knew I would
I got the feeling of your love all around
From deep within me, without making a sound
And then something happened, we drifted apart
The further the distance, the more pain in my heart
I knew what I was missing
And yet, I was too stubborn to say
Alone with my slumbering wretchedness,
On my makeshift bed, I lay
I wanted to be loved and yet was rejected
I wanted your friendship, as I needed you
The pain was so unbearable
I needed your assurance, as I had been a fool.
Remember me, as I cling to your name
I know that things, will not be the same
How many times have I said these words to you
I'm sorry,,,,,,,,, so sorry, can I start anew
And yet you forgive me, Every,, single time,
No matter what trials I go through
You're always there by my tender side
Whispering,,,,,,, Hello,,,, I love you.
Now I hear you, as my silent tears fall
Thank-you for listening Lord, You are indeed, My All.

A friend of pleasure that I count all gain
A soul of leisure that yields no pain
A fragment of time I haven't shared in vain
A friend that I've loved still the same
A counselor of woe out of a troublesome mind
A caresser of feelings, that is soothing and kind
A friend in a billion, I think you'll find
That eases all worries, time after time,
A solitary place, where I can go to be free
With me, with my Friend, on bended knee
A fashionable place where I go to be free
Where I sit with my friend, and he hears me.
A safer place, I have not found
With my head buried close to the ground
A silent whisper can still the sound
Where still and quietness, is heard all around,
A quiet disregard, of the world and its ways
A fortunate time, in these last final days
My friend will help me, keep the world all away
So my friend will keep by me, and together we'll stay
And in my quietness I see his face on that hill
The face of my Lord, loving me still
Knowing the pain, that he paid in full my bill
And knowing inside, it was my Fathers will
So captivated and fooled by the world and its wrong
Thinking and believing it was where I belonged
Untill I heard of the Lord, of him dying on that tree
A sacrifice of sovereignty, and he did it all for me
He called me to him, as he did love me so
He called, and he called me, and did not let me go
And now the blood has covered, the seeds, the world has sown
And the knowledge of his love, has indeed been made known.
Oh sure, a selfish life indeed was led
The harsh words that I had spoken, and the things that I had said
A cold and weary heart, was ruled by my head
And the sins of my life indeed, I had surely fed
So cold and weary, and sick and sore
My heart wasn't filled, and wanted all the more
Blinded by my sin, scrambling on the floor,
Until I heard a knocking, and scrambled to find the door
And that is when I saw the light, as I asked him to come in
The Lord of Heaven, and of Earth, had covered all my sin,
And I saw him in his fullness, with Glory all around
And I stood still for one moment,,,,, and hardly made a sound
And so when I speak with my heart open wide
I see my friend there, and in him I confide,
He'll always be there, and in my heart he'll abide
Of course I'll always know, that for me he chose and died
And I know he became alive, as he lives within my heart
And I know he'll never leave me, or decide, to depart
His love is engraved deep, within, inside my heart
And now I know I have to stop, so that Jesus can make a start.
