If Dreams Came True 2

If dreams come true
No animals wood he abused or deserted
All would have a place to live and a good long life.

If Dreams Came True

If dreams came true -
There would be shelter for everyone in the land of their choice
Refugees would be no more because they would have places of their own

If  dreams came true -
There would be food enough for everyone
No one would starve because they had no food..

If dreams came true -
Everyone would be accepted as who they really are and would know love
And there would be no more war.

Longing

I long to see you, my friend
But time and distance
Are to great.

I long to hug you, my friend
But you are not here
Where I can touch your.

I long to tell you, my friend
Just how much I care
But words fail me
When I try.

God bless you always

Lonely

Lonely and feeling lost,
No one near me
To listen to me.
But then I feel
Someone near
And as I turn
To look I find
God is there.

Lonely still
But saying a  prayer
And singing songs
And as I meditate
I feel that presence
And I find that
God is there.

Outside the Gate

Living outside the gate,
Not belonging
Anyhere.
No home,
No place
To call my own.
Is there anyone
Who can help me
Find  my way?
Will any hear
My cries of pain?
Will anybody
Let me in?

Why

Why
Can't people
Get along
With each other?
Why
Do we fuss
And fight
And let
Our brothers and sisters
Starve to death?

Surprise!

Surprise!
God is here,
Working among us.

Surprise!
God is  doing
The uexpectd.

Surprise!
God is loving
Each one of us.

The Flawed Jewel

The world is a jewel
That is oh so brght.
It shines in the heavens,
Shining brightly.
But flaws are there
Running across
The face of it
That threaten
To destroy it.
When will those
Upon this jewel,
This flawed gem,
Learn to get along
With each other?

Broken Vessel by Jerry Browning

I had a little vessel, "twas fashioned out of clay
I handled quite carelessly, it fell ad broke one day
I took it to a potter who mended it with glue
He polished  up the edges and made it just lik new.

CHORUS:
Broken vessel, soul of man, gently placed in the Potter's Hand
He can mend it and make it whole
Jesus mends the broken soul.

I had a gift from heaven, a living soul from God
I dragged through the dirt and sin and on it Satan trod
I broke it into pieces and scattered it so low
But Jesus came and mended it, the Potter of my soul.

CHORUS:

My friend, it doesn't matter how shattered life is now
The Lord will take the pieces as He  alone knows how
He'll shape and mold the fragments until your spirit's whole
Yes, Jesus is your Savior, the Mender of yiur soul.

CHORUS:

Wanderer

I was a wanderer ,
Lost and alone
Upon the face
Of the earth
No hand to hold,
No friendly face
To be with me.
And then He came
Holding out His hands
Offering  to guide me
If only I will let Him.

Now I am
A wanderer still,
But no longer alone ,
For now
God walks with me.

Fear

Fear of differences,
Fear of those 
Who are not
Like me.
When
Can we all
Learn
To get past
This fear?

Dreams

Ah  - that dreams
Could come true
And the whole world
Could live
In peace.
Love would  flow
The  world o'er
And all people
Would have
Food and shelter
In pently.
Then shall no ond
Be afraid
But all shall know
God's peace.

People

knocking at the door :
     And when will the churches hear their voices and let them in?

Make all people
Welcome,
And do not turn
Anyone away,
For all people
Are God's children
And we dare not
Make any differences
Between people.
