A Day
A day
what is a day
so much can happen
so much can change
each day brings new challenges
each day brings new joys

What a day
days that start bad can change
starting a day and ending it so fast
like a pendulum that swings
a day can change
for better and for worse

Each day
each day is a gift
a gift from the great Lord
each day new trials fought
each day battles won
but all for the glory of the Lord

Every day
a day can bring blessing
and the next a curse
who can fathom the mind of the Lord
who knowest His ways
but every day I will live for Him

Who's day
who does each day belong to
who does every hour belong
who is the giver of the day
who has the keys of time
the Lord the Lord Most High

Crumbling
the world around me is crumbling
the pressures of life are afflicting
the stress is amounting
my personal perseverance is melting
i just seem to be stuck in a rut that i cant break free from
i feel overwhelmed
my mind is tired
i feel sick
my head is pounding from my headache
my will just isn’t pushing hard enough

i feel very ill
all i want to do now is sleep
but i am so lazy
i need to beak from my rut of laziness
i need to be on fire for the Lord, but I’m not
and that is the true problem in my life
i am so caught up in sin it seems like
the rebellion and laziness is tearing holes in my life and my work for the Lord
i know what the apostle Paul was going through when he said that he was fighting an uphill battle
Lord i need a lot strength from you right now
i need you help and your healing hand

just another day in the life.

when popularity calls
when popularity calls
when life says no
when strength isn’t
give me your love, O Lord

when time ticks away
when life cracks
at the end of a hard day
lift my soul, O Lord

after I grow weak
after my sin overwhelms
after my heart breaks
be the lifter of my head, O Lord

time fleas quickly
time creeps slowly
time just isn’t right
be the stabilizer, O Lord

when popularity calls
when I am last
when I am the loser
strengthen my heart, O Lord

By the transgressions of the land many are princes.

The Last Rose, By Megan
A white rose stood on the hill lonely and forlorn
Not understanding or knowing how things became broken and torn
She cries her tears in the darkness wrapped in herself against the night
Crying red tears, stained with heartwrenching anguish diminishing her might

'Til one day there came another white rose
Budding beside her it furiously grows
She watched it and wondered why it should choose
To stand close beside her his white petals he could loose

But he stood close beside her and watched the hillside
And enjoyed ever hour and day that went by
'Til one day too soon when she was crying red tears
He looked unto her and tried to calm all her fears

And in that moment he lost his white petal's pristin
Wishing from her those sorrows he did not glean
He turned away angry, regretful, and confused
Leaving her alone his actions to bemuse

Desperate and pleading afraid to loose her friend
She goes to his side hoping for things to soon mend
But as she draws near her thorns is all he does feel
He recoils he shudders the pain far too real

He can't hear her voice he can't hear her screams
He hears his own words and knows not what she means
It was a mistake now it's over the past is now gone
Now go and be happy and let me move on

So the days past and she sunk in his shade
As he reached for the sun and grew without the white maid
The rains came down cleansing and washed his red to white
While she stayed below forgotten and well out of sight

And now what once was a glorious white rose
Has turned now to red from the pain that now flows
Sometimes she'll catch a glimpse of him in the warm summer air
Not a pain not a sorrow nothing but joy he does bear

Will he remember her will he again try?
To wrap her in kindness and in love to abide?
She wonders she waits she still sits alone
Sometimes she hopes and sometimes she bemoans

Forgotten she was forgotten she'll be
From the pain that's inside she never is free
Is there another will she ever see?
No, the last rose he was the last rose he'll be
