Hand in hand,
Side by Side;
GOD is beginning to change the tide.
So just hold on,
don’t let go;
may GOD let it be so!
Put GOD FIRST,
We have work to do,
And I onlhy want to;
Do it with you…
Let GOD in, your spirit
To HIM entrust;
And HE promises to
Lead us through:
The rest
Of this mess;
Into LOVE, Joy, peace
And FREEDOM
To do HIS work
And to live our BEST…
Life…
Im listening GOD,
You know ALL of my cares;
All of my Fears.
Even if I want to
keep them hidden;
but then it seems like I’m
put on the bench just
sitten…
Out of the game of life,
until I acknowledge,
Theres nothing GOD don’t already know;
So why put on a show?
We need to be completely real;
with the MAKER of the universe,
So we can learn in life how to deal!
The tides are changing; a new
Life is coming out of all this rearranging
Our GOD just keeps in reassuring without
blame; with HIM our lives will never
be the same…
JESUS showed HIMSELF to me;
And let me know, FAITH IS THE KEY!
I’ll never forget that day;
Or all HIS HEART has to say!
I believe, in faith: TO LOVE GOD 1st;
HE keeps us safe,
We’ve already been through the worst…
And I can see, just up ahead, is our victory!

The Crowd
Casual Republicans or Walking Democrats

1). Are those
I suppose
that chose
to just do it like Nike
weather it be
walking to work
or
ride’n a bike
2). There efforts in all actualality
seem not to contribute
to the clear-air polute
during the a.m.
rush-hour commute
3). Whereas in some cities
the smog
can be as thick as a fog
but that still doesn’t hinder one
from going on a jog
4). While others are too busy trying
to blog
5). Unlimited talk and text is the best way
to describe the vibe….
when it comes to a 5G user
and a wi-fi abuser
6. That’s Starbucks talk for
hi-speed internet
that’ll provoke one to quickly
grab a seat
in an environment that is neat
7. WOW!!
8. Now it looks like today’s workday
is well on it’s way
9. Even if the clouds in the sky
looks to be in 50 shades of gray.
