OH GUARDIAN ANGEL

 

Oh guardian angel

Please watch over me

It would be a comfort

To feel the guarantee

That should I go astray

Watching over me

You would be there

To guide me back to safety

THE SAINTS AND THE ANGELS

 

The Saints and the Angels

Watch over us all the year round

You never know they are there

For they never make a sound

 

But they are there nonetheless

Watching over us everyday

And they are there to listen

When you have a need to pray

 

And should some weary soul

Let slip their earthly bonds

They have angelic company

On their way to the great beyond

DESIGN FOR LIFE

 

When you look out

Across the cityscape

The first impression is one of planning

With order and method

A systematic landscape

Above a thriving community

Running as a well oiled machine

Every element doing its part

A symbiotic relationship

Every person a cog in the machine

A perpetual entity

Evolving and changing

Redesigning itself

Outside the conurbation

As if in stark contrast

The country side and nature

Appear chaotic and haphazard

Without order or method

Simple and ordinary

Lacking the sophistication of civilization

But in reality the urbanites live in chaos

Dysfunctional and self-destructive

While in nature there is structure and order

And the closer you observe it

The more of its complexities

And intricate structures are revealed

Everything precision engineered

With order and purpose

Every organism contains nature’s code

The building blocks of our world

And of our universe

True sophistication exists at every level

Complex and extraordinary

So let man builds his cities

While God builds everything else

CALLING ALL YOU ANGELS

 

Calling all you Angels

Amidst the heavenly host

Come in the name of God,

Father, Son and Holy Ghost

Answer the clarion call

Of the sombre Last Post

And take the fallen hero

Amidst the heavenly host

ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE

 

All across the globe

They are seen together

On every continent

And in every weather

The Christian cross

And the pagan tree

To celebrate the birth

Of Christianity

THEY FOLLOW THEIR HEARTS

 

They follow their hearts

A congregation of one accord

Singing the heartfelt lyrics

To make sweet music to the lord

A NEW DAY DAWNING

 

On the distant horizon

The embers of the dawn

Brightly glow

As God blows gentle breath

Upon the glowing coals

And lights up another day
