Just Remember Jesus Christ

When things don’t work out like you planned
When tears fall on your cheek
When all your fears but one have died
And your heart is feeling weak

When the toughest choice you’ll make is made
When you’ve given all that you’ve got
When the heavens seem utterly still
And inside you hope they’re not

When all these things are pressing down
And you need courage to go on
Just remember Jesus Christ
Have faith and carry on

When you loved that one so dearly
Like no one you ever have
But in your heart that door has closed
And there’s reason to be sad

Just remember Jesus Christ
And give your pain to him
For he suffered for your sadness
Not only for your sin

The plan for you is mighty grand
His love for you divine
So just remember Jesus Christ
And trust his love sublime

Do We Forgive Our Fathers?

Do we forgive our fathers?
Or do we take upon ourselves their blame?
Do we recognize them as our makers?
Or do we hide our faces when they’ve chosen poorly?

When the wind whispers acts of anger
Do we willingly enrage?
Or do we acknowledge the wind
And choose instead our hearts to believe?

Do we forgive our fathers
When the bitterness of their past bites and pains us so?
Or do we give them our loyalty
And let pass their short comings?

For they too are like us
With times that are best unseen
And they too are like us
Worthy of our love

So do we forgive our fathers
And in so doing forgive ourselves?
Do we drop the bottles
That keep inside our hurt?

Do we go forward and live
And in doing show we forgave?
And do we forgive our fathers
And in so doing set ourselves free?

The Mirror

I am made up of so many people
My experiences are such
That when I look into the mirror
There’s no face I cannot touch

I see the people wondering
What I have become
There has to be an answer there
But searching, I find none
