Sharing a Gift I’ve written these poems to give a lift. A way of sharing my spiritual gift. A talent not wasted. A talent confirmed. One filled with riches of all that I’ve learned. From a God who’s all knowing, so loving and true. I’ve written these poems in hope to reach you. When you’re searching for truth and want nothing less. May the poems I have written keep you humble and blessed. Broken Chains Nothing makes my life complete Except for Christ alone His blessings are so pure and sweet I’ve made my heart His home I stand in awe and so amazed at all that He has done He saved my soul That was His goal Now victory is won He broke the chains He set me free A sinner such as I No longer in captivity I’m now made free to fly. I Am Always With You Father you keep listening every time I pray Will there ever come a time when You just turn away? No my precious child, that’s what my ears are for You are my creation, I couldn’t love you more Never will I let you walk this road alone Nor will I forget you and leave you on your own Know that I am with you so you need not fear No matter where you venture, I am always near To shelter, hold and keep you secure in My love To not let life defeat you, but to help you rise above This momentary darkness, these momentary pains, These momentary pressures and these temporary gains With Me by your side life is fresh and new When you are tired of walking Then I will carry you Father You are awesome, merciful, and true Desiring the best for us as all good fathers do. Work in Me Lord Help me gracious Father Show me what to do Take my heart and make it Yours Till all I want is You When You’re working in me Help me not to fight Take away all doubt and fear Help me do what’s right Lead me through the darkness Hear me when I pray Keep me Lord so close to You Till I can’t get away When I am weak You are strong I know You’ll get me through it Now give me Lord the faith I need To trust and let You do it. Busy Lizzy Busy Lizzy, put down your towel Enough cleaning for a while A mother’s work is never done So let’s go out and have some fun Oops!
