Welcome

If you could hold a mirror to your face
And peer within its view
What would the image say
If it could clearly speak to you
And as you look ever closer
So, much to magnify
What person would you see
As you see reflections eye
Would you see your real self
Or a portion of that said
Or would you see someone else
With a mask around their head
We all wear these masks from time to time to time
And I believe that I am wearing mine
As I am reading out this line
This Mask of mine shows confidence
Though a nervous wreck inside
It is a mask for this moment
and my real self is denied
With all of our masks on,
To the World we can convey
That we are having a great time
And an exciting fun-filled day
We can appear hard as nails
When we know we are weak
We give ourselves false courage
When we can barely speak
We can hold back faint tears
Till every one finally goes,
And we tell our friends, we like them
when clearly the opposite shows.
We tell people we haven't
When its plain to see we have
And we hate to show our feelings
just in case they see and laugh
And at the end of each day
The Mask goes on the shelf
We are left with the person we are,
There is, no one else
Who can ask, who is, the real me,
I guess we all have to look
deep in that mirror and See!!!!

As you hung up there
On that guilty cross of shame
Bleeding and dying
For the sake of my name
Did you hear my voice calling
As you hung there alone
As your final breath sighed,
And your heart lost its groan?
Did you say to yourself,
I am doing it for you,
Was I worth all the pain,
That your body went through?
How could you love me,
A wretch such as I,
To give yourself up,
For your body to die?
I know that you did it,
And died on that tree,
But how could you love
A wretch such as me?
You know who I am
And the person inside
You even knew this
when you hung up to die.
And with all this,
And the pain you went through,
What an act of forgiveness
To say, I LOVE YOU.!!!

Love lasts forever, I've been told today
Love lasts forever, or so, they say
Love lasts a lifetime, which, yours or mine
Love incomprehensible, from the beginning of time

Love reaches out, across the largest void
Love reaching you, you should not avoid
Love has its own spoils, unless absolutely true
Love lasts forever, as love would do

Love is so patient and love is so kind
In my heart always, this love you will find
Love does not envy, nor does it boast
Love is in my heart, so my heart plays the host

Love is neither proud or is it ill spoken
Love is not self-seeking, neither plays token
Love is not easily angered, nor keeper of wrong
Love is a passenger train, where my love does belong

Love delights not in evil, but loves all the truth
Love is a subtle wine, like a sweet Vermouth
Love always protects, and love always does trust
Love goes on always, as love, love must

Love always hopes and will always persevere
Love does not hide from the presence of fear
Love never fails, as I was told today
I suppose they could be right,
In the words that they say.

I do not know whether you have heard or not,
That life as we know it will pretty much stop
You may not have heard about the upcoming motion,
Which everyone will know about from ocean to ocean,
From everyone here to the end of town,
From the city to the country the Truth will come round
From person to person, from Peter to Paul
To the people in the town, the Truth will call,
It isn't in the papers nor in the evening news
Nor is it in the minds of man, who is adamant to refuse,
But before you walk on by and walk away from here
There is something I want to tell you and I'll make it quite clear
The Truth has given us, life with sight speech and sound
He has spoken creation, which is all to be found,
He has given us abilities to enjoy the fruits from Him
Which we take in our abundance, to satisfy our whim
We enjoy this person, most eagerly each and every day
But do we stop and thank Him or do we turn away,
Do we give to Him all Honour from our hearts do we lift
Do we thank and praise Him, for each and every gift
Our eyes have clouded vision, for we do not see our God
There is stumbling all around as all we see is fog
He is the reason I'm telling you, of events to soon unfold
The Bible tells, His coming, so the scriptures word will hold
And the Gates of Heaven shall open, with a shout to be heard
It is spoken within the Bible, each and every word
He shall charge with a triumph from Heaven down to earth
And take with Him all, who had received their second Birth
And every knee shall bow on that glorious final day
Jesus Christ is the Lord, everyone shall say
Then will come the Judgement for access to be with Him
And everyone will give accounts, of their willful acts of Sin
And the King shall speak, and you'll have nothing to say
And if you don't know Jesus, you will be banished far away
An eternity is spoken of, this I am quite certain
Your view of God shall be covered, like a window with a curtain
Now,,,, is the allotted time, so make you peace with Him
Do not pass by today, and make your choice for Sin
No man knows the hour that day will finally come
For that day is coming soon, and God's will will be done
Do not ponder and decide, to make your peace tomorrow
For if the Lord does come tonight, your soul will reap its sorrow
So reach out for Him now and take Him by the hand
For He will guide us both on, into the Promised land

Oh Lord,, for it is a simple tune I sing,
Forever to you my cares I bring,
I cling to you oh help me please,
Help my soul, Oh Lord, at ease.

It is but a problem I face this nigh,
My crippled heart is an aching sigh
My soul it reaches to only but you
Help me Lord if thou wilt do.

Hold me father as I cry my tears
Unforgiving of sin, I cry out in fear
Too many doubts about the journey thus far
Hold me Lord, on your promised Star.

I yearn for freedom, for normal in mind
Tighter it goes, like clockwork I wind
Increasing the pressure of a sprung metal coil,
Daily it happens, and daily my toil.

I know I can cling to the promise of yours
Of never leaving or forsaking what's yours
And I cling to this promise, and hold on to it tight
It will help me get through, the rest of this night.

Oh what a life we lead
We yearn to struggle and succeed,
Telling ourselves it is what we need,
Oh what a life driven by greed.

This simple life plods on and on,
And people forget about the life that's gone,
Content in living just for fun,
Man and Sin, together as one.

And the Truth is disappearing fast,
Counting the days, as if it won't last,
"Don't bother me now, I'm having a blast,
What!! The Truth, thats all in the past,"

And man searches for what isn't there,
Alone with his Sin, feeling uncomfortably bare,
And Man says, "I don't," And yet he really does care,
Oh What a Life!!!!

Are you sitting alone, or standing about?
Would you rather stay inside, or rather go out?
Are you at the crossroads of life, and just plain stuck?
Would you rather go this way, or rather go that?
Are you sitting it out, just where you're sat?

You have choices to make, about which way to go,
Down the rivers of life, and where you should row,
Stand up and be counted gainst God's Holy flock,
Through the storms of the tempest, you'll stand as rock

Place your feet on dry land, where you'll make your new home
With God at your side, you are never alone,
So make your direction, and make it with speed,
To the foot of our Lord, It's Him that you need!!

Song

Sing to the Lord
A different song
Make it glorious
And Oh, so long

Add all the harmonies
Of unsung years,
And mix it slightly,
Make it music to his ears,

Add the flavoring
Of our own weak hearts,
Being submissive to His Laws,
Right from the start,

Proclaim all our Guilt
And ask the Lord to come in,
Realizing for once,
The blemished scent, of Sin.

If I was a soldier
On the trodden fields of War
And if I was a Captain
With armoured Troops before
And if I was engulfed
In a trench knee deep in mud
Then my idea of life
Should be well understood
And so a calm contemplation
Comes about me
Sinking in the mud
Bullets flying over me
And I sense to sing a melody
Of timely rhyme and reason
Of a reassuring hope
That is given to all this Season
And as I fight for Life
On the Front Line of War
A life so miserable
As I fight for God, King and Corps
Although I see my comrades
Fight a War such as this
I feel a calm contemplation,
Yes, Eternal bliss,
So from the Front Line
I write a section just for thee
And all I ask is for Peace and Love
And just to remember me.

Lord bring me closer
Closer to that Eternal Love
Which abounds in fulness
Lord, please, if you would

So I beckon thee of refreshment,
I plea
From down in the darkness,
Onto bended knee

For acknowledgement of love
Is always relief
Refresh this servant Lord,
Of his grief.

And so I'll continue to love
Only you
And to keep you Commands
Like you want me to

For Love in me
Is to keep all the while
Its the utmost commitment,
In that extra mile.
