God's Perfection

Fresh is the air after a spring shower
With a rainbow stretching hill to hill
All of the beauty seen this lovely day
Seems to make my world stand still

God made this setting so beautiful
As I look across the lake that is Blue
My eager eyes search the landscape
Looking to see what an eagle will do

Flying so majestically above the lake
He then drops into a breathtaking dive
He has spotted his baby eaglets dinner
It's another day his babies will survive

Only man could mar God's perfection
Disturbing this habitat so artfully made
A serene place that is so quiet this day
There I dropped to my knees and prayed

Follow That Path

When I enter that Eternal City
There I will rest my weary soul
Feel the love of my dear Savior
Thank God who made me whole

When He has lifted me up in Glory
His praises I will shout every day
For this sinful soul found His mercy
When I fell on my knees to pray

Do you want to be there with Him
You know His arms are open wide
Waiting to welcome you up there
But first you must lose your pride

Follow that path that gets you there
Keep on the straight and narrow way
Tell Him every day that you love Him
Heaven then shall be yours some day

My God

My God walks with me in troubled times
He keeps me always on the straight path
Encouraging me when I start to stumble
If I do wrong I could also feel His wrath

My God is a gentle God who loves me
He sent His son to save us all from sin
Let Him atone for all of our misdoings
He will open up Heaven and let me in

My God made all things that we see
It is the place I cannot see I strive for
It is that eternal city where God lives
Where I want be with Him evermore

My God doesn't ask so much from me
He wants only that I believe and obey
He has built a mansion where I will live
With Him up there in Glory some day

So Much Beauty

Son Rise Camp is owned by Shawnee Hills Baptist Church. It lets children spend time at camp where they can study God's word and enjoy the outdoor life. It has a cabin for boys and a cabin for girls. Everything is paid for by the Church.

 
There is so much beauty atop that hill
That carry's the name Camp Son Rise
Up on a rolling ridge a shelter stands
It is a beautiful sight to meet our eyes

Two cabins were built by righteous men
Who had the children's future in mind
They can spend time studying the Bible
So to His Holy word they are not blind

God has shown us a way to get this camp
We see yearly how much it keeps growing
Visions of a church that is high in its ideals
Can now be seen in the faith it is showing

God loves children who attend this camp
It is known He also loves all workers too
To anyone who contributed to this camp
Its for sure God has lots of love for you

Son Rise Church Camp

To each child attending camp this year
God has a very special plan for everyone
He wants you to get to know Him better
Still He wants your stay at camp to be fun

What you can learn from your stay here
Can help you all of your way through life
Know in God you have a friend forever
Trusting in Him can ease all of your strife

Let Christ's love come into your heart now
You will never regret what He can do for you
As you grow to love Jesus more each day
You will find you will be much happier too

His Kingdom can be yours one day up there
Trust in the Bible and say prayers each day
When you show God that you believe in Him
No need to ask for He will show you the way

Closing The Camp

 
Son Rise Hill seems very quiet now
Yesterday shouts of joy were heard
Only sounds we can hear on this day
Is the singing of a lonesome lost bird

Last night Keith had Charlie up there
Entertaining adults and children alike
Although we didn't hear Charlie say it
I know he wanted Acie to take a hike

Keith gave the children a goal in life
To be all that they could ever dream
Not to give up after seeing a setback
To become a member of God's team

Happiness can be found in the children
Who lived in that camp that's on that hill
Ask any if they will go to camp next year
You know they will say yes I surely will

Heaven Is For Believers

Weep not my friend as I pass from this life
For it is to a far better place I shall then find
Up there I will never know heartaches again
I will be with God and have a peaceful mind

His home shall be mine throughout Eternity
His Blessings on me He will always bestow
Love shown by our Blessed Savior multiplies
In my heart the love for Him will ever grow

If we slip and commit a dreaded sin today
Ask Him to forgive and it will not be a loss
For you see the Son of God died that day
Taking on our sins He died upon that cross

A place we know as Heaven is for believers
Ask our God and He will show you the way
Study the Holy Bible daily and without fail
God will meet you up there one bright day

Just A Glimpse

As I look at the majestic mountains
From the valley that is hidden below
I hear the howl of a lonesome coyote
Up above where the tall Pines grow

He is seeking his faithful companion
Who has been out foraging for food
She has five puppies that are hungry
Takes a lot of food to feed her brood

An Eagle is flying high above a stream
That flows down the mountain's side
He has an eye on a big speckled trout
It's sad the trout has no place to hide

I sit here and I see this spectacular site
Has God made this place of tranquility
For us to see on Earth a small glimpse
Of what  in God's Heaven we shall see

Beauty Of Heaven

There will come a time when life is so sweet
We will walk those Golden stairs up to glory
There to be by our Fathers side up in Heaven
To walk and talk with Jesus near the Blue sea

There to hear angels sing in harmonious joy
As we gather around God's throne  in prayer
To see the King of all Kings in majestic royalty
It is then all our questions will get an answer

Peaceful will be the day there up in Heaven
No storm clouds will ever darken God's sky
Beauty will be seen in that wonderful land
God has built a great mansion for you and I

No troubles or cares will follow us to Heaven
We will leave every hardship of Earth behind
Live a life where we shall be with God forever
Knowing He is a friend who is gentle and kind

A Life Filled With Love

Somewhere between right and wrong
I lost a heart that was so true and real
Tomorrow may find me in a cold grave
Having this problem only God can heal

My faith had just seemed to fade away
There was no reason to doubt His way
Confused by the way things are today
Had made some of my thoughts sway

Before it was too late God took my hand
Led me to a place where we could talk
There He cleared up this troubled mind
Now a straight path to Heaven I can walk

If there is confusion in your life, hear Him
Talk and walk with our Savior up above
You will find a heart you thought was lost
He has blessed and filled your life with love

Beauty Of The Mountains

Beauty of the mountains high above
Seen from the valley that is far below
Where sheep graze lush Green grass
It's Spring but the mountain has snow

This wondrous site I see here this day
It is almost like God has made it for me
A vast expanse so pleasing to my eyes
These hungry eyes are so eager to see

A stream flows down from the mountain
A tree line has tall Pines reaching the sky
Growing about half way up the mountain
We look at that and then we wonder why

This day will be ever kept in our memory
Knowing God was the Master of the plan
Perhaps giving us a glimpse of His Heaven
This beauty could never be made by man

How Much Longer

When we gather around that supper table
Fond memories of the past come to mind
Back in those years when we were family
We lived in a world both gentle and kind

We knew God and we let the world know
Our faith in Him was complete and whole
Never would we drift from these beliefs
For the word of God had uplifted our soul

I today fear for the mind set of our Nation
We put everything ahead of His teaching
Will He bring His wrath upon the people
Who ignore what our Pastor is preaching

It is with sorrow and sadness that I  find
This nation founded on a love of our God
Could turn away from Him without care
How much longer can God bless this sod
