My Mate

You say you want a mate,

Don't you get tired of meeting the wrong date?

Don't be in such a hurry, and wait.

God has that divine one waiting for you,

God wants you to be patient and to him be true.

He is getting your mate ready and preparing you.

So you don't have to keep going through.

Wait on him, PRAY for your mate.

This will be your ULTIMATE date.

Love Unspeakable

Were I the only human to die for,

Still, Heavenly Father, You would

Have allowed agony's chief demon

To torture You so mercilessly.

Lord, I try to fathom waters of

Comprehension for full understanding

Of this supernatural act of selfless love,

Horrendous to behold,

Yet so beautiful in its substance,

But find myself floating on its surface.

Lord, I cling to You and the love

You give,  

For no other love comes near.

Dear Daddy,

I remember when I was young,

you taught me how to pray, and that's

all that's getting me through these last days.

It's been a year now since God took you

home to stay.

I love and miss you more than I can say.

You know Mama still cries at the

mention of your name. Her life without

you is not the same.

Those ole memories of my weary past,

haunt me still.

Like the time you beckoned for

me to stop and talk to, but I thought

then I had better things to do.

Oh, How I wish I could recall

that day and I still wonder what

it was you had to say.

But I' m going to see you again, some

sweet day and I'll thank you for

teaching me how to pray.

 

Life's Clock

Life's clock is wound but once,

and no man hath the power

to know where the hands will stop

at late or early hour.

 

To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,

To lose one's health is more,

To lose one's soul is such a loss

that no man can restore.

Today only is our own,

so live, love and toil with a will.

Place no faith in tomorrow

for the clock may soon be still.

 

NO MAN KNOWTH THE HOUR.

REVELATION

Watch Over Me

The day is almost over

and the night is drawing near.

Shadows of darkness

steal across the sky

Though the darkness gathers,

restless souls sleep.

Watch over the weary,

give comfort and sweet sleep.

Give visions so bright.

Watch over them, My Lord,

through the still night.

Watch over the soul,

that is tossed on life's sea.

Comfort the sufferer,

let him find shelter in thee.

To those,

who are in sin,

give them hope and life again.

Watch over those,

who are in pain

from their burdens and heartaches

refrain. The angels watch over me and you,

always and lead us safely

through these last days.

 

Dear Heavenly Father

Please look down on me..

I've walked along an alien path

with eyes that would not see.

I raged and cruised and fought

against an unseen enemy,

pain and fear,

sorrow and tears

have all followed me

down this ole road,

So please help me, Jesus,

I can't carry this heavy load.

Through the darkness

give me light to see-

and from the chains of sin

set this captive free.

Thank you Jesus

for your unseen hand

and be listening for me.

Jesus--

I'll be back again.

 

Judgement Day

I've always been somewhat of a restless soul,

I never listened to what I was told.

I ran wild to let the demons inside me,

free the devil paints a pretty picture for those to see.

I had to have what the world could offer.

For the wrong I've done, they should cruxify me.

I was brought up by one of God's chosen men, but I let him down.

I've lived a life of sin.

My loved one teachings could not change my destructive ways.

I will give account for my life on Judgement Day.

I cannot undo the things I've put your through, but never once did I stop loving you.

You cried tears of worry,

I forgot to wipe away.

Those precious tears will be of blood on that great Judgement Day.

1984

 

Master's Plan

Death bells over the mountain roll

Satan bargains for your soul

But the road that has no end

Will lead you back again

Back to the place you've been before

The man who will lead you is knocking

At your hearts door

Though you've forgotten him

And wondered away

He still loves you even when you stray

He'll free you from your fear

He'll wipe away your tears

He's shelter from the storm

He'll keep you from all harm

No matter what your guilty of

He'll keep you in his love.

 

Reveal the Cross

Lord, help to pray

through the Holy Spirit,

so that I may come

face to face with the cross

and feel that forgiving, amazing grace.

Remove whatever hinderance,

I may have--for

in the stormy sea of life, I'm often tossed.

Help me to commit myself

to thee, whose precious blood was shed for me.

Conquer the host of darkness

and claim thy victory!

Reveal the cross and give me sight of Mount Calvary.

Pierce my heart, so I amy receive thee.

Reveal the cross--Thy blood has purchased me.

Reveal the cross, enable me to see the dying saviour,

that the sight of his death will bring me to my knees.

Reveal the cross--reveal the cross--

reveal the cross--

to me...

Entrepreneur Self Assessment: Am I Meant to Be an Entrepreneur?

The first step in the planning process for starting your business is to know if you are meant to be an entrepreneur. Not everyone is made for the business world, small or corporate. Starting your own business takes drive, energy, and determination. You can’t easily give up. You have to persevere beyond any obstacle. Many in the business industry say that it can take up to five years before your business is profitable. Do you have the capital to keep yourself above water until your business idea catches on?
