A Simple Chat

Today was a good day, had a joyous time 
Didn’t get some increase or a prize
Something long hoped for didn’t materialize 
The day was typical except for the use of my mouth and eyes

Some people I often see and usually just wave hi as they pass by me
But this day rather than just waving, we started chatting 
And it was joyfully interesting
A simple chat sounds routine and boring 
But talking feelings out and sharing 
Makes life joyfully uplifting 

Then later I picked up phone 
Just to have a simple chat with those I’ve been meaning to call in awhile 
The simple chat turned into long conversations with much laughter 
And at the end they said the enjoyed talking to me
A simple chat, can lighten the day, and make the heart merry
And Proverbs 17:22 says…A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.

On The Other Side

On the other side of the storm
Lies a beautiful rainbow
Created by sun after the rain goes
On the other side of the clouds
Is the prettiest sunshine
That beams in warmth and beauty
On the other side of the storm
Is something so wonderful
You’d never would have imagined

When you’re going through the storm
God’s working in disguise
He knows your very need
And he’s listening to your cries
When it’s raining, then it starts to thunder
And burdens get so heavy
Does God care? You wonder

But keep on going through the storm
He’s working His plan
He knows what’s best and He has your hand
Then in the sunshine you’ll see
Something good came out of something bad
Oh how God works so mysteriously.


Oh! What God Can Do

Look how God turned it around
Oh! What God can do
Two years ago I was in frowns
As my world came crashing down
Nothing would go right for me
I never knew how sad and hopeless life could be

Sustained by friends encouraging wors
To never give up
inspired by artists songs
That the Lord would deliver
Clinging to preachers messages of hope
Readind His word, and praying more and more
This is how I kept going

And just as I thought I was permanently down
Oh! God turned it around
Oh! What God can do
His mercy is forever, His word so true.
