When the LORD Talks

When the LORD Talks
If I get up in the morning
And in my heart I know
The words the LORD has put there
To the computer I must go

Sometimes the words will flow so nice
Sometimes I wait for a sign
But soon the words come in my heart
I just know they are HIS not mine

I sit down now to write these things
That I feel are there for me
Sometimes the tears will even fall
When I see the words I read

Some one will say I don’t know how
You write so many things
The LORD gives me all I need
It’s to HIM I praise and sing

HE is my LORD and SAVIOR
Let me always let HIM know
Just how I love and praise HIM
With each word please let it show

4TH OF JULY

EVERY ONE WAITS FOR THE FIREWORKS TO START
BUT THE 4TH OF JULY IS THE DAY
TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO FOUGHT AND DIED FOR US
JUST HOW THANKFUL WE ARE IN SOME WAY
OUR LAND IS FREE SO SHOW YOU CARE
KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY FOR EACH SOUL
THE LORD KNEW JUST WHEN THERE WORK WAS DONE
MY SON IT IS TIME TO GO .
EACH KNEW THAT OUR SAVIOR JESUS
HAD DIED FOR THEM ON THE CROSS
IN PEACE THEY ARE EACH FAMILY KNOX'S
BUT FOREVER FEEL THE LOSS .

AMERICA...IN GOD WE TRUST

I have realized in my late years
Some things change along the way
It’s hard to make some this I know
If we don’t believe in what they say

The LORD was here as our country grew
From HIM some want to depart
Let this country show once again
Our LORD was here from the start

They want to take our LORD from us
In prayer, and our government too
This country was made
IN GOD WE TRUST
With HIS help we will stand up to you

Remembering all the people
That died to make our country free
I will stand up and fight for our LORD
IN GOD WE TRUST
This country will always be
