You rescued your soulmate from peril
And hid with him in a soft barn
The home that was sweet home for both of you
Rocking one another to sleep
The soft cooing of Ptolemy
There was peace for you there
Under the downy white wings of God
Protected you felt safe
And finally started singing
There was singing and laughter and joy
For he who laughs wins
And you and I were together
In this time under the sun
The love of your life lay sleeping
Oh paradise this
And little birds nibbled seeds
And the trees blew in the breeze
The autumn came on softly
And singing was on the wind
Glad tidings for the little child
That lay so safe and happy
Oh we rejoiced to see you there
We rejoiced with a great rejoicing
The angels laughed to see you smile
And you brought peace to our hearts
Our world lain heavy with sorrow
Now drenched in the morning dew
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"The Lady"
Where the sleepy fern fronds
Wave their fingers of green
Like fans that ladies wave
To keep out the elements
Where the goldfish play listlessly
In pools of mucky green
And children duck in and out
Of a forest of thick vines
I gasped when I saw you emerge
Your garment was blue silver
You were standing there like a gift
I knew you were meant just for me
Playing idly with your hair
We looked and looked at each other
I started following you around
And you led me away from there
We wandered the earth
Without going anywhere
Your cloak smelled of heaven
And you called me by name
The man that I loved
Had become a beautiful woman
But women are yucky
But only except for you
I'll never tell them you are a girl
I'll keep on following behind you
Your perfume like flowers
Guiding me through the earth
Though I wander forever
I'll follow behind you
Like mist in a garden
You'll keep me from harm
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"God's Child"
 Be God's Child
 Walk with Him all your days
And make God part of your life
As a companion in your struggles
God is someone you can talk to
And we are all his children
Every one of us is His Child
He makes every creature for a reason
And none of us is forsaken
God understands us all
And He wants to be a part of our lives
Give Him the secrets of your heart
And never defy God
Never try to do things your own way
He knows better than we do
Just learn to be humble and meek
And bow your head in his presence
He will guard you, He will protect you
And He will provide for you
In your Darkness He will be near to you
Nearer than you can understand
When troubles come be not troubled
Strength of health and long days will come
When you bow to the One God of All Things
And Give him your heart and your will
One must give God their Will
One's desire to do the will of God
The more we seek to follow Him
The Better off we will be
So much hardship has bowed every head
Try obedience and servitude
Bring him flowers in your heart
And do the things he tells you to do
There is happiness in serving God humbly
There is peace in the brotherhood of the Lord's Will
People have pain before they realize this truth
And often it is too late to help them
If we could lead people to follow the Lord
They would stop suffering
They would be happier
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Happiness"
You're happy for once
Sleeping cozy in a big soft chair
Your little breath is full of sweet peace
With a smile on your face
You're telling me stories softly
While I prod the fire
If we ever need help
I am going to act crazy
Until we get what we want
That's what it takes
You should have some more children
It would bring peace to your heart
I think you're pretty in your afghan
And I think slippers would look good on you
A pot of coffee with milk and sugar
And the song of the things that sing
I'll write your things that sing song
And I'll write it just for you
Life has taught us that acting crazy
Is the best way to get what we want
The crazier we act the more we get
I think that's why you're so pleased
But you never can tell
Oh you, my cat, oh you
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

When you and me argue with each other
It makes me feel alive
Something beautiful about talking to you
And sharing with each other
I'll bring you crumpets and crabmeat bites
And bring them to your chair
It is possible to be happy
It is possible to be okay
At night I hold you in my arms
And you whisper to me your fears
Maybe you were turned into a creek
And your waters burble on and on
The fears and secrets that flow over your rocks
The pebbles are your tears
On and on you flow through my valley
Like a story without an end
He was the brook to my forest
The quenching rain to my leaves
The thing that kept me going
We kept each other alive
Like two hands on the same strength
Our home was in the city
But you could see the stars
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

The waters where they lay
And the children sleeping in warm beds
All the children of God sleeping
And goodwill to all people
May they stop hurting one another
May they share together and make food together
May they find peace after sorrows
May peace fill the waters where they lay
And cloak the earth in moonlight
The birds that scatter on the ground
And the dead that lay sleeping in the earth
The ones who tried so hard they died
And the ones in fear of dying
The pain of those who haven't enough
And being lost on the road
Nowhere to go, nothing to lose
They gasp and give up their spirits
There's hope here persistently nuzzling
There's life under the straw
In living we get our final revenge
On that which would destroy
To sing the songs of those that live
And mourn with those that died
The earth is its own paradise
To feel one with one's planet
Together they cry into the night
The cries of those who struggle on
And If they come again this world
Will surely endure it
Long highways are stretching down the way
And time marches on
I have something I can call my own
There is happiness in that
They're enemies of one another
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

You have the wings of a butterfly
Pink and yellow and purple
And I have the wings of a white bird
We fly together and chase the sun
I love you like tomorrow
Ice cream in scoops of rainbow
And key lime pie on ice
When you chose me it was beautiful
And it was not my choice
You came on like a tornado

"My Child"
In the dark and the light
I see you coming towards me
With a troubled look on your face
You are burrowing steadily towards me
Like you're trying to get in from the rain
I feel like I'm nearly capsized by you
But I'm holding on indefinitely
I will carry you through whatever storm
Like a horse that is getting older
I know you have to get to your destination
With a desperation that I can feel
I have enough of me left for you
And I will carry you forever if need be
You will forever be my child
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
