I SUDDENLY REALIZED

I Suddenly Realized

What matters in life is just to be true
To the person you are, and the things that you do
So today I ask simply ~ Lord, show me Your light
And I opened my heart to His word to take flight

Life presents challenges day after day
Some days will be better than others, but pray
For injustice and troubles so real in our life
Let’s all work together and surrender our strife

I learned long ago that the happiness craved
Has nothing to do with possessions I saved
That the love of the Savior, a promise I savor
I move onward to live a life He will favor

Do we look at our blessings, and wonder in fear
Or reach in our hearts to our Savior, so dear
Is comfort on earth the thing that we crave?
Or a promise from Jesus ~our souls He will save


I hear in His words, and I feel in my heart
That healing I know is a good place to start
I can’t be ashamed for what life brought my way
I just count my blessings, and worship each day

I know that as long as I follow His rule
And if even to man, I appear like a fool
I know in my heart that I stayed true to me
And I know that’s what Jesus expects me to be

DAYBREAK

In the stillness of the morning I think about my day Put my thoughts and words together And to Jesus I do pray Before I turn the lights on Put the coffee on to brew I ask the Lord to guide me, What he’d like to see me do To make this world a better place To help my fellow man He put me here to do these things I know this is His plan As the sun begins to rise I feel joy within my heart Having Jesus there to light my way He can show me where to start.

Can It Change??

Can It Change? I gotta ask you what’s going on And wonder why this split has upon Come to our world~unrest and war Did all this start a long time before? In1776 a contract wrote Would give us all the right to vote And stand a nation so delighted But, if that’s so, why are we not UNITED? Our leader some decisions make May sometimes be a sad mistake But as a nation, can we be UNITED in our LIBERTY? We lose our job, our house, we strife Can’t we be thankful we have LIFE? Is greed consuming heart and mind That people have become unkind? A Pollyanna I am not If you think I care about what I’ve got ‘Cause life is more than money or things We’re materialistic marionettes on strings My friends cannot come home from this war Because more battles they’re needed there for But we complain about our fancy cars While war has someone’s child behind bars Can we UNITE as this country planned? Can we do what’s right and take a stand? Can we share

Oh, Gentle Heart

Oh, Gentle Heart When I looked into your eyes That Monday back in May I saw the stars that light your soul That very special day. I saw each chance as special Each chance you took me to That place where I could be myself And feel so peaceful next to you. As days passed by my heart would flutter At the thought I’d see your face I longed to see those stars again To journey to that place. Your gentle nature touched my heart It left me wanting more To open up your soul to me Was something to adore. I consider myself so lucky That you’ve touched my heart so deep I will treasure you in the palm of my hand Even when I sleep! Vickie Skowronski ~Copyright 1998
