Finding mercy and peace in our souls Comes down to recognizing God's holy control. Knowing God's sovereignty, we trust. We do this because, as believers, we surely must.
Great is the faith that knows God provides. In God's love, our truth willingly resides. God provides all that we ever need. In knowing and living this, we are freed.
They speak of love with arrogance As they pretend their path of tolerance. I look on with God's love and traces of pessimism As they inculcate our youth into fascism.
This then is our only and best test, Believing that God's commands are for the best. However much the world feeds us to the lion's den, We keep faith in God, and never surrender to sin.
This is our path leading to our salvation, Not only ours but of every single nation. Acceptance of God's truth in every single way, Our repentance is found in the words that we pray.

I didn't have grapes but I had wine, As I set out in the world to make it mine. I couldn't tell a joke, however funny. Life has turned out to be less about money.
My thoughts blossomed into fruit, Given enough time, they took root. Roots enough to feel rock-n-roll, It's a good time down in my soul.
In a time of flying pigs, I learned to love sweet figs. Immersed in the poetry, I turned it all to music, literally.
I never realized which one was Pink, But those lines gave me space to think. All those crazy dreams about going far, As long as I could play this guitar.
If you train up a fig tree in how it should go, You'll have a fig for happiness and one for woe. If you train your fingers to play across frets, Maybe you'll play yourself a full set.

“The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.” – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
God fights my battles first, Giving me a spiritual thirst. Inviting me to pray continually, I make my way to eternity.
My battles are begun in prayer, Speaking my challenges to the God who cares. This then is how I best fight, Through the morning into the late night.
His then is all of the glory As we live our part of the story. We speak to God in prayer and praise, Filled with gratitude in all of our days.
With every heartbeat, I am in wonder, Filled with awe at His thunder. It drowns out all of the noise, Filling my heart with a thousand joys.
All the moments of every passing hour, I know that I'll never fumble or sour At speaking His name with all my praise. He is the Lord of my passing days.
His name is all of the glory As we live our part of the story. We speak to God in prayer and praise, Filled with gratitude in all of our days.

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.” – Sam Levenson
“Success is not measured by what a man accomplishes, but by the opposition he has encountered and the courage with which he has maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.” – Charles Lindbergh
“We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.” – James Madison
