Scenes From The Past

As the Sun raises over the distant mountain
New chutes of rice in the paddy is now seen
With the dams to hold in the needed water
Soon this will all look like an ocean of Green

High above the mountains are Red clouds
Where reflections of the Sun can be seen
Now the morning is ready to start the day
With an air that is both fresh and is clean

This is the quiet time that is perfect for me
When I talk to God about the coming day
He tells me of my home He has in Heaven
I intently listen to everything He has to say

As we look for beauty in this evil old world
Today I think back and it is beauty that I find
Scenes from time I spent in the Philippines
After sixty years has come back to my mind

An August Rain

 
A beautiful rainbow arches the sky
After the storm clouds rolled away
Freshness fills the now cleaned air
Making this a most remarkable day

Though it is near the end of August
Our lawns have a Springtime Green
Usually August would be hot and dry
This year it is the wettest I have seen

With the excellent weather this year
Fruits and vegetables aplenty we find
Growing large and succulent to taste
It seems to bring Heaven to my mind

Our Lord has given us a bountiful crop
Tell Him of these times He gives us Grace
It can be one of the ways you thank Him
For making us a part of the human race

He Will Give

 
Jesus has told me of this place
Where the Sun will always shine
There He has made us a mansion
One sweet day I shall claim mine

When I leave this wicked Earth
On up to Heaven I shall ascend
Be greeted by our great Creator
Then live a life that will not end

It's our faith that will get us there
So we must abide with His word
Study the Holy Bible without fail
It's the greatest story ever heard

It was God who created Heaven
Where His children all could live
If we follow all of His teachings
Our place in Heaven He will give

Your Heavenly Trip

Lift up your head and sing His praises
Welcome in your heart all of His love
Tell Him today of total commitment
As you pray to our Master up above

On your darkest day He is the light
Never would He ever turn you away
He has a home for you up in Glory
Belief in Him is the cost you'll pay

There will be a time for redemption
Confess your sins, He will set you free
Know that He is the great redeemer
He died on the cross for you and me

Today is the time for you to tell Him
Of the overwhelming love in your heart
Look up to the Heaven that's above you
Your Heavenly bound trip is soon to start

With God's Help

Have you ever wondered why
He put the stars up in the sky
I have wondered if it could be
They were made for us to see

So many millions of miles away
They can't be seen at light of day
Cloudy skies can block our view
God does control all of that too

If you believe it is His creation
Know He blessed this nation
How long will He keep it free
It all depends on you and me

Please don't let her be dammed
Like some people have planned
Let this wonderful nation stand
Protect Her with your Holy hand

Our Heavenly Home

I want to go to Heaven when I die
To meet my Lord and Master there
To live my life that shall be eternal
Forever to be in my Master's care

There we shall know a glorious life
Happiness up there shall ever abound
There God shall provide all our needs
Tranquility and peace will ever be found

His love for us is always and ever
Never will He turn His back on you
Your belief is what will save your soul
To our precious Lord we must be true

Life on Earth at times is often confusing
If only we could correct mistakes we make
Never do any one harm if we can avoid it
Then pray to God that our soul He will take

Friends

I will never walk alone for He is with me
His footprints can't be seen in the sand
Tho I have never been able to see Him
We walk and talk the way He planned

It is His words that will keep me going
Not once could I turn my back on Him
Without my Lord keeping me straight
My chances of Heaven would be dim

My hopes are great that you'll be there
To enjoy what God has in store for us
We can walk those shores of pure Gold
Meet and greet our greatest friend, Jesus

Oh, how I pray you find you way up there
Together, forever we shall never again part
For our good friends should never be alone
So dearly you shall ever be held in my heart

Life

 
High above the meandering stream
A lone bald eagle soars up in the air
Flying in his own environment today
He glides along without fear or care

Unsuspecting trout swim down below
Swimming around rocks in the stream
Beauty that is seen on this lovely day
Is much like having a Heavenly dream

With a stream so clear the eagle sees
A large speckled trout seeking cover
Lining up a pathway down to the trout
This master of the sky begins to hover

With one sharp swoop the eagle dives
His glide reaching breathtaking speed
There is an urgency in his hunt today
There are five  hungry eaglets to feed

Soon there is peace down in the stream
isn't that much what we face in our life
Each day that mean old lucifer, the devil
Tries to hunt us down and cause us strife

But with God we can face and whip him
We know that God is always by our side
Trust and believe in the words he says
You know He  left it up to you to decide

Our Journey

 From this mortal life to an eternal life
We shall know that journey some day
God has given us a passage to Heaven
Believe in Him for He will show the way

No matter what we have done in life
Jesus died to take away all of our sins
Unburden yourself of any misgivings
Trust in Him and your new life begins

To walk those streets of Gold up there
I know that someday I will get to see
Meet those who have gone on before
What a wonderful time that will be

If you have never trusted in our God
Today should be the day that you do
In His kingdom are so many mansions
Do you know He has built one for you

That Old Road

 
As I walk down that old dusty road
Where I walked so many years ago
Memories of the past come to me
Happy times of my youth I loved so

I  can smell that Honeysuckle today
That still grows along the fence row
It seems to be much sweeter to me
I begin to wonder where did time go

On up ahead past that winding curve
Was the old house where I was born
Without paint  to cover the bare boards
Was like a shack it was so weatherworn

Still I think back and realize I had it all
We had a mother who loved us dearly
Those ideas she told us about Heaven
Comes back to my mind now so clearly

I know one day I shall meet her up there
Where time has no clock, it's eternality
I wonder if there could be a dusty road
Where my mother could walk with me

God's Beautiful Land

Slowly winding through the valley
We see a crystal clear stream flow
It started high up in the mountain
It's water helps the foliage to grow

We see the green Pines growing tall
Looking like they could reach the sky
God has made this valley so beautiful
Melting snow keeps it from being dry

Although this day is cloudy and is cool
It gives me great joy to be here today
Knowing God is the greatest architect
Who planned this out in His own way

A world of beauty I plainly see this day
Still it pales to what we will see up there
We will see things beyond our imagination
Not one thing on this Earth will compare

A Beautiful Valley

As I walk in this beautiful valley this morning
I can feel the cool breeze blowing on my face
I marvel at the  lovely scene that my eyes see
As I stroll along at a slow and a leisurely pace

Wild flowers are seen in their glorious beauty
So many colors to treat our wondering eyes
I realize that our Great Master put them here
All of the beauty we see here is not a surprise

High on yonder mountains are the snow caps
Half way down the mountains we see the trees
Tall Pines that reach out as if to touch Heaven
God has made this place for our eyes to please

While walking along I see two quail take to wing
Somewhere in the tall grass their babies are hid
May this land be enjoyed by many generations
To destroy any of it I hope our God would forbid

That Highway

There is a highway that goes to Heaven
It has many curves and is hard to drive
There is no way to use a direction finder
But we shall know it soon as we arrive

When we pass the moon and many stars
We will know that we will be on our way
Through the darkness onward we will go
Arriving up at Heaven on a beautiful day

Roads up in Heaven are paved with Gold
What a wonderful sight we will see there
God has made this an eternal place for us
Where we shall ever be in His loving care

Your road map is found in the Holy Bible
Written words that will show you the way
It will become clear how we can get there
If you will study the Holy Bible every day
