“I Remember”

In Loving Memory of My Mother…
Mrs. Marjorie (Hoskin) Milam

(October 29, 1922 – April 24, 2000)

 

I remember your struggle,
The battle you fought…
Your days of pain,
And the courage you wrought.
I remember your words,
The prayers you made…
Your cry for deliverance,
For me was made.
God stepped in,
And took you away…
He gave you peace,
In a moment that day.
I remember you passing with dignity,
That moment has made me strong…
Your petition was heard and answered ,
And now I can go on.
You expressed your love on bended knee,
And I’m so grateful…
You prayed for me.
I’ll never forget,
Your motherly love…
And I’ll send my smiles,
When I look above. 

Just For Awhile…

“Just For Awhile”

I’m letting go, but just for awhile…
We’ll meet again, have faith my child.

I know you’re hurting, and worried too…
It’s a part of life, we all go through.

This thing you face, this test, this trial…
Hold fast the thought, it’s just for awhile.

God has shared me, to help you know…
The beauty of life, through me to show.

From laughter and pain, to the joy of a smile…
He allows us a taste, but just for awhile.

A sample of goodness, to direct our view…
And guide us toward, what we must do.

I’m letting go, the baton is passed…
I’m standing down, as you start your task.

I’m watching God’s grace, in you my child…
You’re taking my place, but just for awhile.

At your journey’s end, when your struggle is done…
You’ll pass these words, to daughter, to son.

Like me, you’ll let go, but it won’t be goodbye…
We’ll all meet again, in the presence of glory.

That’s the beauty of a place in God’s story,
Never ending, just changing style…
Each chapter existing, but just for awhile.

We Got Switched

It was explained, this way you see…

We got switched,

Him for me.

He was worthy, I carried shame…

He took the place,

For all I was blamed.

A selfless act, of a guiltless soul…

No other way,

Can this story be told.

We got switched, it’s plain to see…

We traded places,

Him for me.

One dark day, on a barren hill…

My medicine was taken,

Only, He took the pill.

Soldiers joked, and women cried…

While nailed to a tree,

He gasped and died.

We got switched, why should it be…

That righteousness died,

Him for me.

This act alone, was a bit too much…

But the story’s not over,

There’s an added touch.

He was buried, but He was the one…

Divine in nature,

The begotten Son.

In three days He rose, gave death the slip…

Broke the hold,

Of the icy grip.

Through faith in Him, and His act of love…

From the reach of death,

We can rise above.

We got switched, a gift that includes you too…

It comes from Him,

For me and you.

The #1 hit single from the album of thr same name. It’s a reflective prayer set to song and a reminder that God is always near.

“In The Realm Of Eternity”

It may seem like a lot of time,

At least to you and me.

But how can you measure time,

In the realm of eternity.

God decided to do something new,

He sent the world a King.

For the awful sinning that we do,

Salvation He would bring.

Born in a manger in the dark of night,

A simple and unseeming thing.

The avenger who could win the fight,

With death and it’s gripping sting.

Now some may think it fable,

A tale told long and tall.

There is no God that’s able,

They don’t believe at all.

But for many it’s “The Gospel”,

The long awaited “Good News.”

For us it’s more than possible,

And that’s the way we choose.

To all of you who straddle the fence,

For all those nights you cried.

With a love that’s so immense,

Christ entered the world and died.

For redemption’s sake he came alive,

Was done for you and me,

To give the chance that we may live,

In the realm of eternity. 

Blessings
