A plea for Fred

I love you
Please embrace me with your smile
Come, let me hold you
Sit with me awhile

The past lies there before us
The future is unknown
Can you and I resurrect
A passion dead and gone

Do you long for understanding
A place to loose your tears
I'm here and waiting
I understand
The pain of broken years

I can't offer you perfection
But I know where there is grace
I know where to find healing
I'll take you to the place

There is no wall between us
But a bridge that can be crossed
No toll will be collected
Jesus took the cost

Jeremiah

(The same Holy Spirit that dwelt in Elijah, dwelt in Jeremiah... The same Holy Spirit that dwelt in Jesus when he was on earth, can dwell in a 4 year old child. Holy Spirit is not a respecter of age or position... He will use a willing heart to communicate His message to those who need to hear it.)

Just a youth when Jerusalem saw exile
Just a young man was I
When the Almighty God came to me
Saying "Go and prophesy

"I knew you, Jeremiah
Before conception had it's place
I set you apart to be a voice
To a stubborn, rebellious race."

"But Lord," I protested
"I'm still very young"
I bowed my head
"I can't be the one"

I thought to myself: who will listen to me
Among men so learned and old
They'll take one look at me, scratch their beards
Turn around and all go home

"Jeremiah, I have chosen you
Do not be afraid
I will go before you
This is a promise I have made

"You will face opposition
My words will cause you pain
But endure, my young spokesman
For victory comes again

So in my youth I will speak the words
That God has given me
I will obey Him and will trust Him
For the harvest He will reap

Praying for you

(I don't find myself in a world surrounded by believers. As comfortable as that would be, I have been placed among the lost and searching. Not just to tell them about Jesus... but to love them as Jesus does.

I'm praying for you
as the sun peaks its face
As the birds stretch their wings
to face a new day
I take a deep breath
then I think of you
I welcome a smile
as I so often do
I ask God to help you
as you walk through your day
And He gives you my hugs
because I'm so far away
I pray most of all
you will see that you need
Jesus' love
and serenity
You know that I love you
but I pray you will find
That Jesus loves you
much more than I

Betrayed

I'm tired of the tears, Lord
When's the pain gonna end
Is their memory gonna be erased
From my mind for good ... one day
I don't wanna be angry
I don't wanna cast blame
But maybe what hurts so much
Is the anger I'm holding inside
Can I hate the ones I love
And, if only for a moment, be angry
Mad, outraged at the ones who stole away my joy
But I still cry, because
They're the ones I miss
They're the ones I love
