Night of Nights

This night of nights we all prayed for
The savior of mankind was born
Born into a world of sin
He’d save us from a world forlorn. 

Mary his mother swaddled him 
Into a manger he was placed. 
Shepherds came from far away
To look upon His holy face. 

Gifts were brought by kings afar
He was the promised King of Kings. 
He came into the world a babe
With love and healing in his wings.

Now he sits on God’s right hand 
To plead for us each passing day. 
He only wants to bless us all
For each of us I know he prays. 

Love each other as he loves
That is what will change the heart. 
He came and offered everything 
Now we must do our humble part.

Renae

The day you left from your heavenly home

The angels gave you your last embrace.

You passed through heaven’s gateway to the earth

And into the arms of your mother’s grace.


Life was not meant to be a piece of cake

More like a long climb up a mountain top.

You handled with grace the trials that came

They forged a strong spirit that would not stop.


Three daughters would come and brighten your life

Each of them brought their own special charm.

No matter the trials they went through in life.

They would hold tight to your very strong arm.


They brought to your life grandchildren galore

And those bundles of joy brought heaven’s love.

You never imagined love felt this way

As this pure love came from heaven above.


Your Charlie was sent to lighten your load

He made you feel love and he made you laugh.

You gave him your heart which forever he’ll keep.

Both of you were each other’s best half.


As you finish this journey called life

The love you have shared will stay with us all.

Soon you will be with your Savior divine

And watch over loved ones whenever they call.


The tears that we shed as you go to the light

Are only the love that we have just for you.

We look to the day when we all will return

To your sweet embrace and your love so true!


-Love you forever, Marion

Think Celestial

To think celestial is my goal
To make me pure and save my soul.
Celestial thinking heals the heart
So Jesus Christ can do His part.

Spiritually minded is the way
To conquer Satan day by day
Our eyes on Jesus are steadfast
Look to His future not Satan’s past

This is the way we find true joy
This is the truth and not a ploy.
Follow Christ in all we do
And to us all, He will be true. 

Father's Perfect Plan

The day we left our Father’s home

Was filled with joy and many tears.

We did not know what was in store

Our faith was greater than our fears.


Born into many different lands

Many would not know His son

Father promised all a chance

To learn of His Begotten one.


For this reason, many are sent

Two by two, around the globe.

Teaching Gods love to each dear child

With faith just as the prophet Job.


As Father’s  work will surely grow

There will be those who will not hear.

The fields are white for harvest time.

Be wheat not tares, that much is clear.


Storms will come into our lives

To test our faith and our resolve.

If we choose to follow Christ

All of our problems that will solve.


The day will come when life is done

This test we’ve had is over now.

With heads held high we honor Him

All praise to him, that is our vow.


All that He has, He gives to us

His promised gift for faithfulness.

Forever we will spend with Him

His mighty name we’ll ever bless!

Be not afraid, only believe


Day in, day out it never leaves
This stress into our lives it weaves.
Many times it takes its toll
Until our lives become so cold.
The one who wishes on us pain
Because a body he’ll never gain.
He never cared at all for you.
For hate is what he’ll always spew.
It may seem dreary, even lost
But holding on is worth the cost.
Turn to him who has all light
Your life will be forever bright.
As storms come to your daily life
Filled with dark and haunting strife.
Turn to Him, who will never leave
Be not afraid, only believe!!
