Only Human






We work to meet your every need
And build your faith each day
When life is hard and things go wrong
We sometimes lose our way

We know our weakness shakes your world
That’s why we try to hide it
It’s often just beneath the surface
Though our smiles deny it

To never dim your faith with doubt
Because we fail to trust Him
We put our best faith forward
Thinking it’s a fight we must win

His word reveals the battle’s His
And we can just let go
He understands our fears for you
And teaches us to know

That In our weakness He is strong
His love for you is true
He holds each teardrop in His hands
Because sometimes Mom’s cry too

IT Forever or I'd Back it Up if I Could Find It


Overwhelmed? I don’t know
Just how low is whelmed?
How high must I go to see it below?
How will I be able to tell?

Why are you looking at me like that?
Everything’s perfectly fine
I always curl up under my desk
To prepare for approaching deadlines

No worries, I’ve got this
How can it miss?
Nothing can happen
That IT can’t fix

So what if the screen didn’t say save?
And the file name is not allowed
I’m sure I remembered to back it up
Do you think it could be on that Cloud?

Alright, I admit it, I’ve seen better days
I think I now know how to tell
My computer is down and IT's not around
That’s when I’m over the whelmed

57 Reasons I Can't Quit Now





No Regrets
You Wanna Bet
Just wait til you turn fifty
Through everything you’ve ever done
You suddenly start sifting

Counting failures, broken dreams
And things I could have done
Excuses, blame and rational
For me the battle had begun

The past was not my enemy
And failure not my foe
My fears would cause my sure defeat
If I could not let go

Fear there was no time to start
Or no time to finish
That the passions in my heart
Just could not be replenished

The past has been defeated by
The knowledge that God’s near
And when I give them all to Him
His perfect love casts out my fears

Now anything is possible
My hopes deferred set free
I can’t go back I can’t remain
The future holds my victory

The Courage to Be Free & the Freedom to Be Courageous






They had the courage to stand and fight
 For man’s most essential rights
The courage to begin again
Down the untried path of a virgin plan

They weathered the tests and trials unknown
 And continued to work, to build and to grow
 A sanctuary where all could find
 Freedom for hearts and souls and minds

The blood bought freedom that we must maintain
Is the freedom to stand and the courage to change
The things that would find us bound again
When power corrupt our freedoms demand

To believe in what’s right – not from afar
But be willing to fight for who we are
May our freedom give us the courage we need
To honor their lives in word and deed

To stand on our honor, our faith and the truth
May Freedom for all be our lasting pursuit
