Faith skills set our lives on fire In this season of desire. But faith is messy when real, It's tangible beyond the feel.
Living life as a tested sinner, I want God's voice to be the winner. These are the days of trust, When we go on believing as we must.
I know that God is for you and me Working for the good of what's to be. The strongest lives have studied transformation. I believe that's the only necessary explanation.
For all that I have seen and I have done Like Daniel in the lions' den, yet begun. Faith walked me through the fire Just to lift my soul a little higher.
God is the truth and eternally living, Ever faithful and always forgiving. In the face of challenges that always come, We continue to serve in His kingdom.
We are blessed to stand our ground While keeping true to what we've found. It's there in the fireproof foundation That we find faith is the best explanation
It is there in the truth of life That offers grace beyond the strife That the Lord will see us through. Everything that comes our way and all that we do.
God is the God who is always present, Offering love and giving nothing to resent. This is the greatest gift of all - And the one we most need to recall.
God is present and in ultimate control From every element of nature to our very souls. Our restraining bindings are burnt away, To release our essence for our better days.
Here we are living life to the fullest capacity. We have faith, especially in God's capability. We know that God is driving our final outcome, In the beauty and resolve of His heavenly kingdom.

Unhappiness Is an affliction on bliss. By Cicero's severed neck, Duty can make us into wrecks
Those who live in their mind Are too often left behind. Such is the way of those in power Who care only for a given hour.
To feel good Do Good It's understood About doing good
Doing one's duty And carrying it out faithfully, However much it is direct Is the only thing truly correct.
It matters little what the price. That is, in fact, Cicero's advice. Never take the path of least resistance. It's far better to have persistence.
To feel good Do Good It's understood About doing good
Doing what's honorable can be a test. But it's what brings life's success. It's not a matter of better than nothing. Doing what's right is everything.
Duties must be kept in one's memory. For the glory and for one's good family. Wisdom, justice, courage, and temperance Are the cardinal virtues by which we advance.

“A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice, and the interest of the people themselves.” – Grover Cleveland
With a little rain and the truest grit Following admonitions to never forget, We'll know liberty's tree from its roots grown To the top of freedom's leaves, deeply flowing.
We've driven the distance to see the sights Across this nation, as we talked of our rights It seems Bari's mouth has it all wrong again, Misunderstanding the Constitution he's sworn to defend.
We have explained as deeply as we feel we must, That it's a Constitutional Republic in which we trust. Yet, Bari and friends want to talk of democracy, Our founders found its failures to be legendary.
We've had time to think and sing a few songs, This family of mine right where it seems to belong. But best of all was when we stopped and we walked Because in those times, we thought and we talked.
Independence Day unmasks the nobility of mankind. As we think about just causes and hoping to find That honor and posterity are not hereditary But instead, we wage our struggle in necessity.
Self-evident truths lead to unalienable rights, And in the eyes of tyranny, this leads to fights As those daring to be righteous in improvement Push forward to the republican form of government.
Sometimes my daughters believe this is all a test. The answers should be simpler and answered best By following the dictum of following their hearts. I suppose that's been my fault from the start.

Sometimes life flies at me undeserved, And my viewpoint seems a bit underserved So I find myself, as I have from the start, Speaking my mind straight from the heart.
We might be in opposition, and that's okay. But still, each of us deserves our say. We should just do our best to be amicable. At least, as best as we can be capable.
Sometimes there isn't a pure wrong or right. But we deserve our say as best that we might. It is appropriate that we enter into discourse While politely remembering to consider the source.
Few of us are experts, even the experts. This is true, however strongly we each exert That we somehow know more than can be known, And usually this comes out as time has shown.
Where the art of the grift has become the machine, It can be a little hard to say what we mean. But truth be told, the truth must be told As best as we know it, whatever we've been sold.
I have just never liked bullies from any side. This was an easy one and not very hard to decide. When you see a bully, it's time to take a stand. Is that proposition so hard to understand?
