I Want To Be Like You

I want to be like you, Lord

Perfected I wont be

Until we meet in heaven 

And your Glory I will see.

But while I’m here on earth Lord

I give my life to Thee.

I want to live for you Lord

Help me your will to see.

He Lives

Jesus Christ was crucified

And did for all our sins

That we may be purified

And one day live with him.

Jesus Christ concord death

He paid the price for sin!

If only we believe in Him

He’ll come and live within.

Jesus Christ lives today

He is the light, the truth , the way

He paid our debt—arose again

Jesus Christ lives today!

Linda

Two sisters born in different years

Sharing in each other’ s excitments and fears.

Two sisters born – both quit unique

Each with their interests

Yet closeness they seek.

They argue and squabble 

Don’t see eye to eye

But this doesn’t mean 

They don’t ernestly try.

Harsh words they find crushing

Pre-judging intents

Sorry for things said

That weren’t really meant.

Two sisters were born

They are you and I 

God gave us each other

To love ‘til we die.

No matter what problems –

Nor conflicts and strife

I will always love you!

For you are part of my life.

Prayer

I’m praying we must be patient

We must wait

For Gods right timing

Our prayers will be answered

Answered Yes!!

Maybe not In the way we want

We feel is the best way

But God knows what is the best way

And all things do work

Together for good

For those who love Him

I praise the Lord for all

His answers to prayer

And I praise Him for all

The prayers He will answer

Thank you Jesus

Thank you Lord

I love you.

Amen

Stacy

You were so very tiny

With a cute little hinney

You only weighted a couple pounds

But you sure made a lot of sound-

You couldn’t wait to get here.

You weren’t due ‘til the next year.

But you had only one fear.

You Had to come before Jody dear.

We all were so very worried.

You looked kind of like a rat.

But you were a real good eater-

And soon you got some fat.

Your first words were “potato Chip”

You loved them oh so much-

You ate them for breakfast 

And you ate them for lunch.

You are my favorite little niece-

You are so very sweet-

I bought you these potato chips

There all for you to eat-

I hope your day is special-

I love you oh so much-

I hope that you are not mad at me

You hurt me when you punch!

Teach Me Thy Way

I feel so overwhelmed, Lord

I do so many wrongs

I’m having such a struggle

It’s hard to sing your song.

I doubt and I worry

For this I am concerned

Please hurry up and show me

What you would have me learn.

People seem unloving

I take things the wrong way

It isn’t them, it’s me, Lord.

I feel I’ve gone astray.

I’ve tried to keep a balance;

I know I’ve tipped the scales.

I truly want to serve you

Yet time and time I fail.

I seem to get uptight, Lord

I try to interfere

With your perfect plan, Lord

Your voice I need to hear.

I worry for our children

When you would have me trust.

For I know you love them;

You died for them – You must.

I try to do too much, Lord

So many needs I see.

In my own strength  I can’t, Lord

Teach me to lean on thee.

I want to be like you,Lord

Perfected, I want to be.

Until we meet in heaven

And glory I will see.

But while I’m here on earth,Lord

I give my life to thee.

I want to live for you, Lord

Help me your will to see.
