My Hero
When most people think of heroes
The names that come to mind
Are those of super stars and
Famous people who were kind.
Well my hero may not be famous now
But to me she's a super star.
My mom is my hero because
She has gone very far.
She has give birth to girls
Not, one, not two, but three
And raised us on her own..
Her world was centered around us three.
She put us ahead of herself,
Which I think is a hero trait.
She gave us clothes on our back
And gave us lots of food that we ate.
But most of all my mother is my hero
Because she puts God first in her life.
Even when life was tough
And she was no longer a wife.
She is an example of a Christian,
Because she relies on God to see her thru.
Because of her obedience
I've seen what the power of God can do.
So as you can see my mother
Is a hero in my eyes.
She's also very smart in school,
And in life she's very wise.

Didn't Try Hard Enough
Can't breathe... don't
remember how.
Weak in the knees... start
to fall.
An arm... you caught
me.
Soft smile... melt
to a puddle.
Hold tight... don't
wanna let go.
You speak... paralized
head to toe.
Heart stops... feel
like dieing.
What to do... I
don't know.
Try to speak... nothing
comes out.
You walk away... Oh!
Please stay.
If only I told you... I
Love You.

Alone
Here I am in the dark
But I feel like a strol through the park
Looking at the stars in the sky
Up there shining so high
As I'm looking up in aww
At the beauty that I saw
Two arms wraped around me
Then my heart was filled with glee
As I turned to look at the face
My heart fastly began to race
but I saw reality
And was no longer filled with glee
Because I wasn't strolling through the park
But I was sitting there in the dark
Me... just me... ALONE

Saved Me
Up and down
All around
Fighting fighting in my head
Sometimes I wish I were dead
And yet there's a peace
that the fighting will cease
Because He will come ona cloud
And I'll share my joy out loud
Until that day
I will always say
He's my Lord
And I'll always stay true
In everything I'll ever do

Both
Rushing cars, running streams
Jets on planes, eagle's wings
Rush of day, peace of time
If only they could both be mine

The Journey
Here then gone
I float along
In the clouds
Don't know how
Bright light
Huge gates
Open to me
Now I can see
My Jesus

Light
I am a little light
In the darkness that seems light night
As my eyes start to tear
'Cause the darkness brings great fear
But I know I'm not alone
So I now become as solid as a stone
My God holds me in His hands
'Cause I'm a warrior, part of His clan

Welcome Home
"Do you believe in God?"
Do I dare say not?
"Yes," I replied.
Bang! I'm shot.
Then it's dark
As I walk down a tunnel.
I saw a bright light,
And at first sight
I see my Saviour and Lord
With a two edged sword.
He speaks and says,
"Well done my good and faithful servant."
In reply I say, "But what have I done to deserve this?"
"Nothing! I died, I rose, and I love you!
Welcome home!"

Birthday Boy
I Hope you got a great big cake and hugs
and kisses too.
'Cause today's a special day just because
of you.
Now don't spoil your day by sitting around
being blue,
Get up, be active, and find something
birthday boyish to do.
I hope you've laughed I hope you've smiled,
But most of all, I hope you though of
the GOD that made you, just for a little while.
Remeber that people love you, truely
they do,
But they just don't know how to
show it without showing you.

Worthless in a Dead World
The mere thought of a lost world
Brings tears to my eyes
Full of selfish pride we hid our faces in shame
For nothing can compare to your glory.
Screams of frustration as thousands turn away
We made you too small in our eyes
Afraid to lift my eyes I fall shaking to the ground.
I am too weak to resist your power
You look at me with fear filled eyes
How do I deserve this?
I don't.
Your love fulfills my dreams.
And I come running into your arms.

A Lost Child
The pain hurts me so deep
I can see my blood on your sword.
Deeper and deeper the pain kills
But still you won't listen.
Rejection cuts deep
and you take another stab
I won't give up.
My blood pours over your hands
Yet your words cut even deeper
One day you will see
This blood was spilt for you
One day the sword will be dry
As you cut no further
One day you will listen
For every knee will bow
- I won't forget this day -

My Best Friend
God how did I deserve what you give to me
For I do not deserve, but you freely give
Love indescribably is weighing at my heart
You know my thoughts, you know my words
You know my heart better than I
You know I am thankful everyday, for just being alive
You have placed wonderful people in my life
Some of whom will always be remembered
Yet I know every gift comes from you, the maker of the
universe
You know what the gift is already
salvation, eternal life, love unconditional and fulfilling
But best friends are put in your life for a reason
They are always around when you want to talk
They always care when times get though
Their arms around you hold you tight,
A feeling that everything will be alright.
God you are always there, waiting for me
God you always care, even when I don't
God your comfort is much needed when times get tough
I know I have a best friend who is more than enough
All of my friends, you can name one by one
Are all special to me because they are a gift from you
It reveals your power every new day
Thank you for my friends, thank you for your love
The description of a best frind is all that you are
I can see your beauty as I gaze into your eyes
Eyes that see through me in all my disguise.

Sisterly Love
When you look up at the sky
And see that it's blue
It gives a feeling of something unheard of
When you look at the grass
And notice it's green
It is a silent reassurance that today will be okay
