This Day’s Thought From Monday

Prayer Requests

Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy life in my death, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, thy glory in my valley.

Shelter From The Rain

Run for shelter
from the rain

Some type covering
I may gain

Where’s there relief
from this pain?

My head exploding
am I insane?

Holding an umbrella
up over me

Gives little shelter
from rising sea

For depression won’t
let me be

When will I
again be happy?

All I do
cry and cry

No matter how
hard I try

The faith that
I once rely

The worry does
to me deny

Oh Lord, please
hear my prayer

Have You one
blessing to spare?

For I need
Your tender care

To save me
from my despair!

The Dark Shepherd

He walks the night
in search of prey
for the most weak
that he might slay

Works through deception
to the innocent beguile
with his only aim
their soul to defile

For he does shepherd
the way into hell
that in damnation forever
with him they dwell

If he comes near
run as far away
as you can get
with him don’t play

He’s the vilest evil
of demons there be
don’t take any chance
with your eternity 

There’s only One Shepherd
Who is our Lord
to follow any other
you can ill afford!

Mind Of Freedom

There once was
a little girl
Her hair shimmered
essence of pearl

Forced to live
in the forest
By a troll
as imprisoned guest

Upon his house
stumbled one day
When he then
hid her away

And kept her
as his treasure
For her beauty
gave him pleasure

In his world
of such ugliness
She added it
a ray of brightness

Her only friends
a few dove
And how them
she did love

Each and every
night she pray
God sent them
to carry her away

Under the troll’s
ever watchful eye
No way escape
she’d even try

But never gave
up her hope
The only way
that she cope

One day soon
her rescuers come
Taken out from
under his thumb

Then true happiness
she would find
Instead of only
freedom of mind!

In The Heart Of The City

Let’s build a world
of our own fantasy
here in the heart
of the bustling city

    With angels and fairies
    a swan and a frog
    maybe even a gnome
    sitting on a log

A little sail ship
could bring us food
right in the middle
of the old neighborhood

    As people pass by
   they will probably stare
   Don’t know about you
   but I wouldn’t care

‘Cause it is happy
we would then be
even though we live
here in the city!
