Only thru the Blood Of Jesus

Pain of Separation A moment of anger, a jealous rage, ended in a brother slain Abel dead upon the ground, Cain's hands carrying a bloody stain Their parents the first to feel death's separation pain First to lay a loved one in God's newly created earth First to know death's sorrow, while remembering the joy of his birth Did they see this as the price of disobedience, the curse, for all it's worth? That same pain has been handed down from every generation to today It can engulf us like a cloud, thick and gray Creating a sense of aloneness and loss, like a child who's lost his way When OTHERS have lost parents, children, spouse or friend We tried to comfort, telling them one day this pain will end That time will be a healer, their heartache will mend But when it's OUR child, OUR parent, OUR spouse, it becomes overwhelmingly real Our mind says "It's just part of life; but the mind can't tell the heart how to feel Complacency now gone and security l

CHOICES The voices, the voices; we hear all these voices All trying to persuade us to make wrong choices Pleading, promising and with persistence, in our failures their spirit rejoices The voices come from television or a violent computer game as well Movies, books, magazines, all have subtle elusive message to sell "Listen to me" these voices exclaim, "then you'll be happy and in life excel" Try this!!

Why can't the people I deal withjust simply change? Why can't they just see and do things MY way? I try to instruct, but they don't seem to hear a word I say Lord!!, deliver me from so many wanting my help today Change them to be independent, on themselves rely They seem to be daring me for a sarcastic reply These people can be so thoughtless, I really can't see why I've prayed for friends, family, co-workers seemingly without results And You know, Lord, I've TRIED TO SHOW them all THEIR faults But, they so resist change, bad habits they refuse to halt What, Lord!! What is this thought that has suddenly come to be? A new light is dawning and this I finally see What I really should be asking is, Dear Lord, please change ME! Chan

Into our already troubled day they want to insert Chaos, terrorism, suicide bombings, a world in disarray All the politicians are in disagreement,turmoil and dismay They haven't any answers, blame on someone elsethey are ready to lay Like why did we go to Iraq without an exit plan? What price will we pay for gas? What's going to happen in Iran? How dare SD violate "Women's Rights" with that outrageous abortion ban Violence, abuse, murder are all going to increase or so they forecast With stocks in decline, how long can this economy last? Taxes are going up while big corporate CEO's, great fortunes are amassed Guns, knives in school,no longer a safe place to play The death of a controversial, rich women makes headlines day by day But persecutions of Christians worldwide isn't newsworthy they say Yellow
