1. O God bless the Internet.
This world can’t live without it.
With high speed service we forget
The reason that we found it.
Refrain:

2. There’s videos and games on phones,
Our hands and eyes upon it.
We gotta call the One who’s closer
Than the electronics.
Refrain:

3. There’s tons of sharing going on,
But how much are we saying?
Relationships have come and gone
For lack of love and praying.
Refrain:

4. O God bless the Internet.
There’s nothing wrong about it.
Let’s send our love with every text
And praise Him that we found it.
Refrain: (2x)

Refrain:
We upload, we download,
And it’s easy to believe.
But let’s unplug and thank Him
For the blessings we receive.

Happy Mother’s Day to all moms and female role models, mentors, and mother figures!

Each of us is someone’s baby – and we are all children of our Creator. Remember that as you enjoy this lullaby.

1. Baby so small
And new to it all,
This world is a big place to be.
Baby, you’re safe,
And softly I pray,
Let my baby sleep.
Refrain:

2. Baby of light,
I hold you at night,
For Jesus has sent you to me.
Baby, have faith,
Remember to pray,
Let my baby sleep.
Refrain:

3. Baby, through years
Of laughter and tears,
The Savior is guiding your feet.
Baby, still safe
In the Spirit that prays,
Let my baby sleep.
Refrain:

Let Him, let you,
Never forget to
Let my baby sleep.

Refrain:
OOO rest in His hands,
Trust in His plans,
Cradled and wrapped in His love.
Growing in grace,
Showing His face,
Child of the Heavens above.
Jesus who knows
The heart of your soul
Gives you His comfort and peace.
So let Him, let you,
Never forget to
Let my baby sleep.

An Angel Named Crystal

God has sent an angel.
She’s with me every day.
God has sent an angel.
All I have to do is pray.
I feel her tears.
And she feels mine.
Now forevermore our lives are intertwined.
Two souls that have blended from the very start.
Forevermore our spirits shall never part.


This poem was lovingly written for me by my fiance,
The Blind Poet, Freddy G.

Falling in Love

Your emails I read like no other;
Your words always real, not pretend.
I valued your mind and your passion,
But I wasn’t in love with you then.

I cherished your humor and laughter
And each little quip you would send.
You gave me a smile I could count on,
But I wasn’t in love with you then.

You said you were thinking about me;
I said there’s no stopping God’s plans,
That distance and time cannot phase Him,
But I wasn’t in love with you then.

I needed your deep understanding
To help with the loss of a friend.
You offered your heart and your spirit,
But I wasn’t in love with you then.

Respect in your voice found me seeking;
I felt closer to you as a man.
My woman’s heart leapt at your sweetness,
And I fell in love with you then.

Together we’re planning our future,
As soulmates and lovers and friends.
And when I look back on our story,
My heart falls in love once again.

Go the Distance

1. A little baby grows so tall,
But we can’t see it when he’s small.
Each tiny step is worth it all,
When we go the distance.
Refrain:

2. The Lord has bonded me and you
And given us a love so true.
It’s worth the trials we’ve come through,
When we go the distance.
Refrain:

3. And Jesus went to Calvary
To give His life so we might see.
It’s worth His blood to set us free,
So we can go the distance.
Refrain:

Just take His hand and understand,
He’ll help you go the distance.

Refrain:
And the journey we must make
Doesn’t seem so long.
And the many roads we take,
None of them are wrong.
‘Cause Jesus guides us every day;
He makes our crooked pathway straight.
So take His hand and understand,
You can go the distance.

Responsible

I am not responsible
for anyone but me.
God help me let the worry go
and set my thinking free.

I am not responsible
for someone else’s life.
So let me take my special way
and put their thoughts aside.

I am not responsible
for someone else’s pain.
So let me share the sweetness
of a healthy mind unchained.

I am not responsible
to anyone but Christ.
He lets me make my own mistakes
and loves me all the while.

Your Work in Me

You came to earth from perfect heav’n above.
I heard Your gentle Spirit like a dove.
You give me what I need because of love
And heal my battered heart from push and shove.

And now I wake up early in the morn
And fall asleep at night so safe and warm.
I feel Your peace, o even in the storm;
You diedso I can live forevermore.

For You are all I have and all I need,
And from despair and bondage set me free.
So guide my every thought and word and deed,
That others may see You at work in me.

When Someone Calls You Sunshine

When someone calls you sunshine,
You might be thinking twice,
That even though it can’t be you,
It’s sounding pretty nice.

When someone calls you sunshine,
You ask more carefully
And wonder if perhaps they know
The blessing you could be.

When someone calls you sunshine,
It lights your very soul,
Where you can see the truth so clear
That God has made you whole.

When someone calls you sunshine,
It nestles in your heart,
Where you can feel the sweet embrace
Of every hopeful part.

When someone calls you sunshine,
It changes how you feel.
You radiate a smile so bright,
An inner warmth that’s real.

When someone calls you sunshine,
Accept this precious gift,
The chance to better learn and live
The Holy Spirit’s bliss!

The Cornered Circle

A circle has no corners,
But just around the bend,
I put my arms around you
In a circle with no end.

A circle has no corners,
But when I turned to look,
You chased me with your sweetness,
And my heart you overtook.

A circle has no corners,
But just beyond the curve,
The street was paved with blessings
Of the joyous gift you were.

A circle has no corners,
And the Spirit knows no time.
For only in God’s corner
Is a love like yours and mine.

A circle has no corners,
But just around the bend,
I put my arms around you
In a circle with no end.
