II Peter 1:5-7

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness, and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

Hudson Lost His Mustache

Hudson Lost His Mustache

Hudson lost his mustache,
now where did it go?
Is it beneath his bed?
He’s looked high and low.

Hudson lost his mustache.
Now he’s very sad.
Give him a little clue,
he’ll be very glad.

Hudson lost his mustache,
Oh, where can it be?
It’s there on grandma’s lip.
At last he can see.

Going Home



I’ve finally begun to enjoy flying – at least the part

where the Captain’s voice comes over the intercom

saying: “We are now making our final descent into

Oklahoma City.”


I am afraid of heights and still can’t make myself

look out the window when we are taking off, but

there’s something thrilling about knowing I am 
 
almost home.


I look out the window and see windmills and land 
 
that looks like a patchwork quilt. I see rivers and

then houses.


Finally, I see the lights on the runway. Then I
 
wait for it … the plane touches the ground and I

am home.


At 67 I know I am getting closer to the time when 
 
I will get to my eternal home. I am looking
 
forward to hearing my Father’s voice at last as 
 
He says: “Welcome Home.” That will be the most

amazing homecoming ever!

Tangerine Sky

Tangerine Sky

His message in the sky said, “I love you”.

A tender written love note for my eyes

He painted tangerine and yellow hue

A splendid sunrise of divine surprise.

His presence made known in the sparkling dew

And the bounty of blessings He supplies.

My Savior died for me, He bore the nails.

His fragrant off’ring showed how love prevails.

Remind Me to Rejoice




Remind me when it rains – rejoice

During unexpected storms – sing

To always listen for your voice

In raging winds cling to my king


Give me eyes to see in darkest night

In thunder’s roar may I feel your power

May my mouth praise you with delight

For you’re my refuge and strong tower

Quack, Quack, Waddle, Waddle



Waddle, waddle down the street they go;

Two mallard ducks walking in a row.

Listen to them quack, What did they say?

Maybe they asked if you’d like to play.


Oh, how they love sitting in the grass,

Watching the people as they pass.

Are they making a nest for their eggs?

Please stay here a while, my heart begs!


Off they fly to a nearby creek

Where fun in the water they seek.

I hope they come again real soon.

Then my hear would sing a joyous tune.

Do Not Fear (Song)



(God says to us)

Peace I leave you,

My peace I give you.

Let not your hearts

be troubled, don’t fear. (John 14:27)


(God’s children)

When I’m afraid

I will trust in you.

In God I trust,

I won’t be afraid. (Ps 56:3)


(God says to us)

Don’t be afraid,

I’m always with you.

Take courage child,

I’ll never leave you.

(God’s children)

When I’m afraid

I cry out to you.

You answer me,

I know I’ll be safe.

I'm Never Alone (Song)

I’m Never Alone (Song)

Jesus and me,

Yes, Jesus and me.

Side by side we will walk.

He will never leave me alone.

It’s my Jesus and me.


The Two of us,

Just the two of us.

Together we will fight

any battle that comes along

The two of us will win.


Spirit and me,

The Spirit and me.

He is my comforter

interceding in prayer for me.

Yes, the Spirit helps me.


God waits for me,

Yes, God waits for me.

As the sunset appears

He’ll be there to welcome me home

for my God waits for me.

Fears Flee

I hear a lion,

but see a tiny kitten.

My fears multiply

as Satan whispers to me.

Fears flee when gazing at God.

Over the Moon

Wind blows on my face

I feel God’s embrace

He and I are in tune

With Him, I'll leap over the moon

In the Shadow of the Cross

In the shadow of the cross

while hand in hand we walk

I will share my heart as we talk

in the shadow of the cross.


In the shadow of the cross

my sin at last I see

your precious blood has set me free

in the shadow of the cross.


In the shadow of the cross

I’ll meet with You each day

and from Your love I’ll never stray

In the shadow of the cross.

We Wait in Hope

We cry to the LORD

(to the LORD)

who hears and rescues us

(rescues us)

We trust in Him

(we trust in Him)

Our mighty God

( Mighty God)


Our times are in

(times are in)

His hands.

(His hands)



When the storms arise

(storms arise)

He is our shield and help

(shield and help)

He guides our lives

(He guides our lives)

and lights our path.

(lights our path)

We wait in hope

(wait in hope)

for Him.

(for Him)

Refuge of My Soul

I lift up my eyes to the LORD,

the maker of heaven and earth.

Because He’s my helper I will 
 
not fear what man can do to me.


I seek my LORD every day.

He rescues me from all my fear.

He is the refuge of my soul

and I pour out my heart to Him.


Jesus, the lover of my soul

He supplies every need I have.

I’ll pray and thank Him no matter 
 
what – for that is God’s will for me.

Give Me Jesus

Give me Jesus when I awake

May my faith be real, never fake.

May I by His side always stay

as I read His word and obey.



Give me Jesus now every hour.

He’s my strong and mighty tower.

Whene’er I need some help to cope,

remind me that He is my hope.



Give me Jesus throughout the night

until the dawn brings morning light.

I’ll thank Him for glorious grace

and Holy Spirit’s sweet embrace.



Give Me Jesus when my life ends

and His angels my soul attend.

for now and through eternity.

Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus!

A Golden Life

My life is like a golden treasure chest

running over with gems of which I’m blest.

Memories like diamonds shine in my mind.

Like a prospector, gold nuggets I find.



Sixty-six years of blessings, I confess.

Then to God my gratitude I express.

He has smiled and rained blessings all around.

Each raindrop shines like a jewel on the ground.



If I forget how good God’s been to me

I’ll open up the treasure chest and see

all the ways my life with gold is arrayed.

Then I’ll thank Him for the love He’s displayed.



Each day He blesses me with new treasure

which bestows pleasures beyond all measure.

Precious gifts He gives to me each new day.

My Father knows just how His love to display.



The best treasure I have is eternal life.

Where I will be away from earthly strife.

Then this blessed woman will walk streets of gold

and my Father’s presence at last behold.

Longing to Soar

How should I be seen

As caterpillar crawling


Or a soaring butterfly

Learn to Dance During Life's Rain

At times we yearn for days gone by

when we were young, we'd never die.


No falt'ring steps, our legs were strong.


Nothing with our health could go wrong.



Our eyes now dim, we cannot see;


we cry "What has become of me?"


We strain to hear our loved one's voice.


Now hearing aids must be our choice.



We cannot dwell upon the past.


Live to the fullest while life lasts.


Our God still has blessings in store


before we reach that final shore.



Open our eyes so we can see


how to serve others, this our plea.


Help us not grumble or complain,


but learn to dance during life's rain.

Beware of Those Little eyes

She’s watching you

and hearing every word you say.

She’s watching you;

each action, good or bad, you do.

Be careful what you do today.

She’ll imitate your foolish ways.

She’s watching you.

Soaring to Paradise

I soared above the cloudy sky 
 
and there appeared a charming land.

It’s splendor no one could deny.

It was not made by human hand.


Beauty like an island of ice

whose grandeur stole my breath away.

I felt lost in a paradise.

I’d venture there another day.


The plane landed upon the ground.

My feet are planted here for now,

but I won’t always be earth bound.

I’ll fly to there again, I vow.


To soar above the world so high

and see the glory there once more;

I’ll take the chance again to fly.

Then thank my God whom I adore.

Build a Bridge To You

I’ll build a bridge to be near you.

In Christ I’m new

I’ll lay sweet planks

of love and thanks


I’ll sing to you a special song

my whole life long

sing Psalms to praise

Your mighty ways


I’ll read the Bible every day

I will obey

to You I’ll pray

Let’s talk today
