THE LEAF

The leaf waved goodbye as it fell to the ground
To its new resting place (on the grass) that it found...
Then the wind came along - said, "You can't stay here;
I'll blow you around 'til there's new leaves next year!"

But it finally settled, and replenished the earth...
That's all in God's plan, for life, death, and rebirth.
The leaf did its job, and brought us all pleasure...
In spring, summer, and autumn - such beauty we can't measure.

So let us give thanks to our great God and King...
For "The Leaf" - a simple but beautiful thing!!


LITTLE JOE

Though we haven't met, my name is "Little Joe"
And I'm trying to reach you 'cause I want you to know,
My Birthday is coming - early next year
IF they just let me live - the choice is so clear!

My mommy's so young - and mixed up inside,
And the laws say it's OK to cast me aside,
So please won't you help me and vote for people who care,
And want to save me and babies everywhere!

I know God will bless you for doing His will,
And saving me and all the babies they're trying to kill.



AMERICA - LET'S BLESS GOD!
 (Written after 9/11)

Come on America - LET'S BLESS GOD! - (It really is our turn)
We ask Him to bless us, as we watch our buildings burn!
We realize how far we've strayed from following His ways,
As we ask Him for protection - now let us BLESS and give Him  PRAISE!



GOD'S SYMPHONY

It's the rhythm of the seasons that causes hearts to sing,
Of the freshness of new life - of the first buds in the spring!

Summer - with the leaves to shade us on the warmest day,
As we sit beneath the branches of a tree and bow to pray.

Then the leaves that dance across the road - and the beauty of the fall,
That comes before the sleep of winter to help prepare us all.

For the white snow that's a blanket covering Earth and trees so bare,
How can we doubt "the symphony" of God's eternal care?


TUNNEL LIGHT

When you can't find the light at the end of the tunnel, there's only one thing to do,
Look back at the other end - see what God has already brought you through,
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going wrong,
But when you remember He's with you, He can fill your heart with a song!
So keep your eyes on Jesus, His light will guide you each day,
There's nothing to fear when He is near, and He's only a prayer away!
