God

EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY

 

Whatever entity or God we pray to

whatever is our spiritual perception

May that entity or God teach us to love the entire world

Everything and everybody in it

With no exclusions…no exceptions.

TO KNOW GOD

 

Vincent Van Gogh, an artist who through his art and life pulled on our heartstrings,

said the best way to know God…is…to love many things…

 

I like that…I like to think that God is love…and that Vincent Van Gogh was right…

So I will list a few things that I love…and I’ll start with his Starry Night.

 

These are in no particular order….besides Van Gogh…I love Monet 

I love rabbits, sunrises, chocolate…I love the night…I love the day

 

I love to read a good book, I love my wife, my friends…my family….

I love toasting marshmallows over a campfire…I love games and poetry.

 

I love strolling along the beach, donuts, holidays, walking in the rain.

I love trees and birds and sunsets…I love the whistle of a train.

 

I love love dogs and cats, I love to travel…I love that one time we flew first class!

I love kindness, pizza, art, music, I love the smell of new mown grass.

 

I love when our house is full of people laughing, I love taking naps

I love cookies, bookstores, clouds and stars…I love looking at a map.

 

I love the silence of the morning…I love a good road trip

I love hugs and babies and candy bars…I love tall sailing ships.

 

I like to think with each thing I love I name…this never-ending list I am compiling…

That, if Vincent’s right and God is love…then somewhere he is smiling.

 

Could this be what she intended….the way he operates….

Because the more time I spend loving things…the less time I have to hate.

 

Hmmmm the more I love…the closer I am to God…

I love that I finally understand it…

and I love that I also know why God is smiling…

Because…that’s just the way she planned it.

Songs

 

Capo 1

 

 

VERSE 1:

 

D

Lately, it seems

A

I no longer feel the beams

Em7       G

of joy shining in my heart.

Gma7                  G

I don't claim to be very smart,

D

but maybe it's 'cuz I've

D                  G

neglected our daily conversations.

D

Maybe, it's 'cuz I so easily give

A                    G

into these temptations.

Em7                     G

Maybe, It's 'cuz of unrepented sins.

D                          A

All I know is I miss the intimacy

Em7                   G

I once had, Lord, with Thee.

 

CHORUS:

G

May I kneel in

C

Your presence again.

D

To know Your peace.

G

May my devotion

C

to You never ever cease.

G

May I kneel in

D

Your presence again.

 

VERSE 2:

 

Father, forgive me!

Lord, hear my humble plea!

Help me turn form my sin.

Help me resist temptation

May Your grace be alive

In the heart of this repentant sinner.

May, into Your word, I dive.

Swim like a minnow (pronounced minner—think southern)

In Your grace. Be my defender

in this battle I daily face.

Lord, show me Your grace!

 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

The Light

Folder: 
New Lyrics

The Light

 

Numb, losing control

Broken, shivering cold

Stuck down in this hole

Darkness surrounds my soul

 

God don't take me

I don't wanna die tonight

Jesus save me

I can barely see the light

Lord forgive me

I'm trying to make it right

 

Can't you help me see the light?

 

Lost so far from home

Alone, nowhere to go

Weak and losing hope

Plunging towards the unknown

 

God don't take me

I don't wanna die tonight

Jesus save me

I can barely see the light

Lord forgive me

I'm trying to make it right

 

Won't you help me see the light?

 

I'm about to break

I don't want to fade

On my knees I pray

Are my words in vain?

Everything seems gray

The edges start to fray

Nothing left to say

There's nothing left to say

 

God don't take me

I don't wanna die tonight 

Jesus save me

I can barely see the light

Lord forgive me

I'm trying to make this right

 

Someone help me see the light

Will no one help me see the light?
