ALL I EVER WANTED

Once I held a lantern full of oil....Anger made its liquid boil.

All I ever wanted was to shine...Jesus heal this heart of mine.

Once I sailed a river full of rocks....Many people came and built big docks.

All I ever wanted was to flow.....Jesus heal so I can grow.

Once I saw an eagle flying high....Hunters thought that it should die.

All I ever wanted was to soar....Jesus heal my heart once more.

Once I drew a picture of myself...someone came and placed it on a shelf.

All I ever wanted was to know....that Jesus heals and loves me so.

Pray for the hearts of your children.

IT'S SHOWING ALL OVER MY FACE

You hold my heart in the palm of Your hand

You say that it's safe and secure

So, I will be trusting it won't be disgusting

In times I will have to endure.

You lift it and sift it, but never to shift it

You keep it right there in it's place

Behold and adore me, You never ignore me

It's showing all over my face.

Though running and jumping and everyday bumping

May cause me to fall or to slip

With all of the doubting, the crying, and pouting

You never stop losing Your grip

The fun and the folly, the times that are jolly

Will leave not a mark nor a trace.

But what will be lasting will not be contrasting

It's showing all over my face.

The Part I Cannot See

My life is such a special time I love to watch me grow
My hands, my feet, my arms, my legs, and even my big toe.

But part of me I cannot see, and this I do not lie

That when no one is looking...I try and try and try

I look into the mirror and open my mouth wide

But just can't get it wide enough to see way down inside.

I know there's something in there, the Bible tells me so

It says that Jesus guards my heart even as I grow.

But will I ever see it? And, will I ever know

The part that Jesus died for, the part that doesn't show?

I guess I 'll keep things simple and that up to Him

I think I'll go outside awhile and maybe take a swim.
