YOU MAKE MY LIFE WHOLE

 

You make my life whole     

You fill it with your zest

With your loving presence

Dear Lord I am truly blessed 

HEALING HANDS

 

Jesus cured all the sick and the lame

Apart from one scruffy man at the back

Jesus gestured him to come forward

“No way” he said “I'm on disability wack”

MY PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

 

My philosophy of life

Is a simple one

I recommend you try it,

You’ll be glad

 

Love the people

Who treat you right

Pray for the ones

Who treat you bad

PRAYER

I pray to my God

When my heart is full

And when it is empty

When I just need to speak

And when I need an answer

When I have joy to share

And when at my lowest

I pray to my God

Who always listens?

THERE

 

You are there

When I face adversity

And in times of conflict

When I encounter trajedy or loss

You are there

When I experience joy

And at times of happiness

When I feel pride and count my blessings

You were there

When my children entered the world

And at their baptisms

When they married and when loved ones passed

You are always there

Dear lord

HE IS

 

He is the earth

The wind and the fire

He is the sun

That rises in the east

And sets in the west

He is the tree in bud

And the mare in foal

He is the rain that gently falls

He is the birdsong

And the cockcrow

He is the staff of life

He is the Son of God

The prince of peace

IN THE COMPANY OF ANGELS

 

If I am the first to go

I will wait for you in the place

Where the crowns of Angels glow

 

If I go first because I lost the fight

I will be waiting with the Father

Where the tunnel opens into light

 

If I am the first one there

I will await you in lush meadows

Where heady perfume fills the air

 

If I go first and leave you lonely

We will meet again in paradise

In our loved ones company

 

If I am the first to go, allay your fears

I will be waiting in the place

Where there are no more tears

 

If I go before you and we must part

I will wait for you in heaven

Where sweet music soothes the heart

 

If I am first to go we will meet again

In a far better place than this

Where God has banished pain

 

If I go first through the eternal door

You will find me with the angels

Where suffering is no more

 

If I am first to go by days or years

You will find me waiting there

Far beyond this vale of tears
