Mama’s Lessons

Mama’s Lessons

Growing up we didn’t have a lot,
But we thanked God for all we got.
Mama probably didn’t think I was listening.
But I heard every word she said,
As she read the bible while I lay in my bed.

I remember Mama’s lessons,
She taught them day and night.
You need to trust in god,
And do what is right.

Don’t follow the world,
It will lead you astray.
But search His word,
Each and every day.
And if you’re ever in doubt,
Open your heart to God and pray.

Well Mama’s now gone home.
But she didn’t leave me alone.
Those sweet words she said,
Are still in my heart and head.

I remember Mama’s lessons,
She taught them day and night.
You need to trust in god,
And do what is right.

She’d said true love,
Comes from God above.
He wants us to know,
That He loves us so.

Now when troubles come my way,
I get down on my knees and pray.
I’ll remember Mama’s lessons,
For the rest of my days.

Apology

I owe you all an apology for being so late in posting anything here. It seems this second book has taken more of my time than expected.
The good news is the book is ready to go to the printers. The bad news is it will have to wait until I recieve my tax refund. I'm having it printed locally to hold the cost down. I may at a later date send it to the publisher for all the fancy bindings.
I'll keep you all advised as to when it will be released. Thanks to everyone who has asked about it.
Now maybe I can visit here more often.

About Lent

About Lent

You need to understand,
It’s not because of what I do,
That makes me the man I am.
It’s by Him that I am brand new.

It was because of my dark sin,
They whipped him, and beat him
Spit on Him and mocked Him.
My sins demanded a terrible price,
But God sent His Holy sacrifice.
The Lamb of God, pure and true,
Paid the price for me and you.

Now we can stand together,
Lift our voices and shout.
The truth has now been revealed,
There is no more fear or doubt.

Because He died on that cross,
We no longer need to be lost.
Yes, our savior paid the cost.
It was God’s love upon that tree,
That suffered for you and me,
So we may from sin be free.

As He spoke, He said it is done,
He had paid for my sins, every one.
Now I no longer seek to sin,
But I long to walk with Him,
Because it’s all about Jesus my friend.
