His Perfect Decor

If you world is so sad and lonely
Look around you'll find Him there
He is a friend that truly loves you
Let Him give you His eternal care

His power is beyond knowledge
With Him anything can be done
His compassion is overwhelming
In His heart he loves us every one

If you have never talked with Him
Promise you will do that this day
Be proud you know our great God
Get down on your knees and pray

He will show you the way to Heaven
Where we will never suffer anymore
Up in that Land He has made for us
There we shall see His perfect decor

Land Of Heavenly Rest

What beauty we shall all share
When we reach that Holy Land
On Earth we can't comprehend
A walk upon that Golden Strand

Fabulous colors never seen here
Will be seen there in all their glory
Beauty of everything that we see
Could not be written into any story

Our home will be made of marble
White shinning and forever strong
There we will greet our neighbors
When we see them strolling along

These thoughts I can only imagine
Knowing God will show us His best
I know I can never aptly describe it
His beautiful Land of Heavenly rest

Don't Forget To Pray

Is your life now confused and bleak
Your heart filled with so much sorrow
Tell your Lord just how you feel today
He'll give that promise for tomorrow

When the days are dark and gloomy
There is not any place you can hide
Just look to Heaven that is far above
You will find it is God you can abide

Look around and you will find Him
He is ever near and will talk to you
His Heaven can also be your home
Make sure you heart is forever true

No reason to feel alone and lonely
God shall stand by you all the way
His love will make you oh so happy
Trust in Him and don't forget to pray

Baseball In Heaven

Each home game the Cincinnati Reds play we can chat with Hal McCoy, a Baseball Hall of Fame member. After the game on 7/17/12 I wrote this poem.



I wonder if there is baseball in Heaven
Surely a runner wouldn't attempt a steal
No spitball or shine balls would be there
Would there be trades or any kind of deal

If there is I hope only God is the umpire
No mistakes would we see him ever make
He would ever have made the perfect calls
No reruns on Heavens TV would they take

What would God do to a manager Like Lou
Kicking dirt on that Heavenly Home Plate
I am sure He wouldn't be too harsh on him
If Lou could get through that Golden Gate

Wouldn't it be wonderful to read Hal's blog
I just wonder if God would permit him a cigar
What a chat we all could have up in Heaven
As we watch our team win from wire to wire

Church Camp

Our church had camp days for the children at our campgrounds named Son Rise. These two  poems are about the kids there and then when camp days were over.

  Camp Days

We see the children as they play
They are laughing and having fun
Some like to play pitch and catch
Other see how fast they can run

They are gathered here at camp
To learn many blessings of God
God loves all of His little children
He lets you play on this Holy sod

These days here are so important
Learning the special feeling of joy
Hearing messages from Pastor Ken
Know God loves each girl and boy

Knowing that you will pay attention
To words that your Bible has to say
You too can go to the Promised Land
There to meet Jesus one bright day

Leaving Camp

Happy days all of the children saw
As they were up at camp Son Rise
Laughing and having so much fun
What they saw was a great surprise

They learned of the goodness of God
How they can get to Heaven one day
That they should read the Bible daily
Never forget that they must also pray

Coming away with an understanding
Of how to get along with each other
Also to have compassion and love
Treat each other like a sister or brother

Many lessons they have now learned
Living together as if they are one family
May they remember throughout their life
This is the way God always wants it to be

Your Smiling Face

Lord I want to see that land
Meet and hear the Angel band
It's in Heaven one day I'll live
It is with this promise You give

You have a city that's up high
Where we'll live and never die
Take my hand and lead me on
Tell me my sinful life is gone

There is a feeling in my heart
Knowing Lord we'll never part
You know the way to get there
Where there's not a worry or care

Life on Earth has not been long
My faith in You has grown strong
Lord show me that Eternal place
There I will see Your smiling face

My Mowing Hymns

I think of these hymns as I mow the lawn at church.


I mow God's lawn and I can hear songs
Lovely hymns flowing through my mind
Hearing What A Friend We Have In Jesus
Let's me know He is ever gentle and kind

Rock Of Ages tells me His is solid ground
Amazing Grace shows much of His power
Leaning On The Everlasting Arms is comfort
How Great Thou Art is like a fresh shower

Church In The Wildwood heard in childhood
Gives me memories of that can bring a tear
Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb I remember
Where Could I Go But To The Lord was so dear

I can feel great happiness as I am mowing
God is riding with me on this old John Deere
He walks with me now as I am on this Earth
He knows I will sing a Hymn to Him up there

Where there is no worry or care

Life on Earth has not been long
My faith in You has grown strong
Lord show me that Eternal place
