Awake to the Fact
Rumor has it grace has won
There’s no longer need for repentance
I am here to say this is false
And hell is still the death sentence
Jesus told us more of Hell
Then heaven when He spoke
If He so strongly used those words
Isn’t it time we awoke
Awake to the fact that we still need to repent
Awake to the fact that we must confess
Awake to the fact that we must ask forgiveness
For all on which we have obsessed
Awake to the fact that we must ask
Christ Jesus into our heart
And we must make Him our Lord and King
And promise to never depart
And we must Awake to not sin again
But do all our best to be Holy
Live our life like our Lord Jesus Christ
Then grace takes over the story.
So do not be fooled by the lies that exist
That all you need is His grace
You must step out in faith and do what He says
Then heaven will be your place

Before the Light
So very long ago
Our whole earth was void
Darkness filled each crevice and the air
But God said Light appear
And darkness had to flee
As in the light the darkness disappears
We all are born in darkness
just like this little earth
And slowly light is added as we grow
Learning brings us knowledge
And knowledge brings us light
And on those subjects darkness has to go
But essentially the main thing
Is to shed the light on our sin
So darkness doesn’t rule our hearts and souls
Jesus is the only Light
That can win this darkness fight
We must apply His blood by faith and we will know
Jesus is the Light
That God spoke into Darkness
Way back in the book of Genesis
Before the sun and moon
And even the stars above
This Light became the light of the world
And still today He shines
Forgivigs all mankind
If they will simply ask Him in their hearts
So free yourself from Sin
and Ask Him to come in
And let His light be shown into your heart

Words From My Savior
I open my eyes
And what do I see
My Blessed Savior
Looking at me
A smile on His face
His eyes open wide
He takes hold of my hand
And sits down at my side
“Hello Son” He says slowly
“I’ve so much to say
I want to guide you
Through all of your days.
I want to tell you
Of my wondrous plans
Drawn up I’m heaven
They’ll help you to stand
You see, trials will come
And sorrows you’ll know
These things are a part
Of what makes you grow
There’ll even be times
You’ll be sick or in pain
But what I allow
Is there for your gain
The problem that comes
And you don’t understand
Is that you think these things
Are not in my plan.
I implore you, my son
When you take time to.pray
That you also take time
To listen each day
So often you fill
Your prayers up with words
That you can’t hear me speaking
My soft, gentle words
In my words are your comfort
Your peace and your joy
So.please don’t miss out
Take time to enjoy
Then He got up and left
And the lesson was taken
When I.pray words don’t matter
It’s the listening that makes it
Cattleman’s at the Club
This is a wonderful place to eat in a small Iowa town! My wife is the hostess, so if you come up, you might even meet her!

Three years ago in June
Three tornados loomed
Headed for a restaurant dear to us
They skirted cross the land
And didn’t stop and stand
But turned parts of that restaurant into dust
But the story doesn’t end on despair
Because the town of Belmond Iowa cared
They gathered up their might
And all came out to fight
To keep Cattleman’s open in their town
Three years later they are thriving
Cattleman’s at the Club, fine dining
The foods beyond compare
In a pleasant atmosphere
So you better get here early for a seat
From luscious steak to tasty fish
And a salad bar thrown in
Homemade soup in winter
In summer, golf and eat
You can’t go wrong no matter what you eat
Burgers are delicious, chicken pasta zest
And their fried chicken is the very best

Restore The Land
The enemy gathers daily
Just before the dawn
To plan a way to take you down
They gather up the gossip
Rumors and lies
And start a chain to spread it all around
Wording carefully crafted
And very neatly spun
Their web of deception knows no shame
The little minions gather
One by one they flee
To the human destination with their name
The saints of God gather
Just before the dawn
To plan a way to lift you to the King
They sound aloud their prayers
For healing and strength
To fight the battles this day’s going to bring
Interceding Prayers
And praises to our God
Their voices sing a song of victory
The angels gather round
To protect the saints of God
From any and all attacks of the enemy
With which of these groups
Do you work today?
The one lifting up?
Or the one breaking down?
Because as Christians we seem
To take both sides in stride
One minute we tear up
And the next we edify.
This ought not to be
In our lives as His church
We ought to be always
Lifting up those who hurt
Gossip and tale bearing
Have no place in the body
Putting others down for fun
Is an affront to our Lord
So come on church, rise up
Let the good words win out
Let the body of Christ
Rise up with a shout
Encourage each other
Pray for the sick
Help out the lonely
Make your faith stick
If all of us would
Take the time for this plan
The church would rise up
And restore this land
I Will
Trust The Lord
