WHY ME?

Along the shores of time the wounded lie
All torn apart with little hope, they sigh!
The battle scars of life seem oft in vain
Confused, at times, that maybe God's to blame!

But why this cross that we must bear today
That seems so heavy and so hard to pray?
Is there no promise that will calm the heart
Before all hopes and dreams are torn apart?

Some things in life are hard to understand
We fail to note the reason God has planned
Omniscience charts the course that brings Him praise
He is the Source of strength through all our days.

The cup that Jesus drank was for our sake
That through His blood eternal life partake
The trials we all face are here to show
So others find the Christ we claim to know.

QUESTIONS OF THE MIND

Questions often plague the mind
Babies born completely blind
Accidents that kill a teen
Tragedies around unseen!

Life and death bring joy and pain
Everything at times seems vain
Money earned for things that rust
Soon to see them turn to dust!

Scripture calls it meaningless
Trying to hide from loneliness
Christ alone can fill the heart
When He's Lord of every part.

God provides for every need
When through prayer we intercede
Worship flows in joyful praise
When we seek Him all our days.

TAKE ME ALONG!

I GOT YOUR NOTE, IT MEANT ALOT
"JUST ONE MORE DAY" VACATION'S SPOT!
I'LL FOLLOW YOU TO OCEAN'S SHORE
TURN BACK MY CLOCK AND WISH FOR MORE.

I'LL WATCH YOU PLAY ALOT OF GAMES
AS AUSTIN STIRRS THE ROOM WITH FLAMES
AND EVERY MORNING WALK TO TOWN
WITH LOTS OF COFFEE, HANG AROUND!

I'LL WALK THE OCEAN BEACH EACH DAY
I LOVE IT'S BREEZE, I LOVE TO PRAY
SO EACH OF YOU CAN GROW IN GRACE
AND FIND IN CHRIST YOUR HIDING PLACE.

SO IF THE WATER HITS YOUR FEET
JUST IMAGINE THAT WE MEET
"JUST ONE MORE TIME" AND I'LL BE GLAD
I'M FILLED WITH JOY, NO LONGER SAD!

ECHOES FROM THE PAST

It seems like yesterday you said goodbye
I sit today alone and wonder why?
I live in memories from the past
As muffled echoes that don't last.

What lured your absence from my sight
Was it a phantom-dream you saw one night?
You heard the love beat in my heart
The promise we would never part!

I'm blowing kisses that may find their place
In memories of your tender, strong embrace
If echoes reach life's distant shore
Come home, be mine for evermore.
B. Pent
