Gods Angels
The
sky may be dark or a radiant blue
God’s
angels are near to watch over you
Remember
all that you think, say or do
Guard
thine own heart be honest, be true.
Let all
that is noble adorn your life
Avoid
places and people that cause
Heartache and strife, keep Fathers
laws
Be loving,
be kind, then blessed peace
and contentment you find
Where
Where the gentle breezes of love do not blow
Only noxious, earth-rooted weeds will grow.
Where the glorious rays of hope are not found
Only sadness, despair and dejection abound,
Where there is no vision, there is no faith
The world is a dreary and lonesome place.
Faith
The shoulder to the joke
Hands to guide the plough
To cut each furrow straight
Is all that matters now
Feet on gospel ground
Faith fixed on the goal
Labour, hope and prayer
Will find you in his care.
Petition
Prophets, Poets, Sages, wisdom of the ages
Holy spirit from above let me feel thy guiding love
Let me know things I should do, stand close by
Don’t leave my side,
Let thy promptings
be my light.
Ashes
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Back to the earth, we must, we must
Return to our mother that gave us birth
Granted us life on this planed called earth
Like the leaves on a tree we dance for a season
Some Souls never query the rhyme nor the reason
Soon with the winter’s storms we fall
Back to the earth who provided all
Much we have learned, still little we know
Of life, of creation of dwelling below.
Still something inside stirs our memory
You are more, so much more
Then a leave on a tree.
