ONLY GOD
Only God
Can paint the many colors, in the rainbow’s hue
Touch the mind and soul, give a different point of view
Only God
Can give the birds a brand new song to sing
Give inner peace into each life He brings
Only God
Can heal each broken and trembling heart
Give all the lost souls a brand new start
Only God
Can wipe away each and every fallen tear
To take away the pain and quiet each fear
Only God
Knows every prayer, before it is heard
He alone knows every heart and every word
Only God
Can give strength, to face each day
He guides and directs us, along the way
Only God
Can be our Alpha and Omega, beginning and the end
So why not let Him, be you Savior and friend
JUST
WHEN . . .
JUST WHEN
You’re tired and weary of walking that last mile
And you have to sit down and rest for a while,
When that road seems so long and has no end,
Jesus walks with you. He’s that kind of
friend
JUST WHEN
You think you’ve done about all you can do
And life has altered your point of view,
When you’re confused and can’t find your way,
Jesus gives you strength to face another day
JUST WHEN
You’re hungry and thirsting in your soul;
You work hard but somehow don’t reach your goal,
When your bitter tears fall down like rain,
Jesus wipes away your tears, gives you hope again
JUST WHEN
You need someone to mend that broken heart,
Someone to lean on, from you never depart
That’s when Jesus steps in to see you through
For He is the Comforter and He cares for you

About the Book
During my years of working with the mentally ill, hearing
their stories about life and disappointments, I found myself wanting to express
uplifting thoughts to them. That no
matter how high the mountain or deep the valley, they are not alone. If they just have faith in God, trust and
believe in Him through prayer, things will change. The poems written by me
was placed on a reality board for them to read with pictures drawn by a
friend. What is so amazing to me is that
no matter how sick they were most would stop to look at and read the
poems. Not only did the patients read
them but staff and visitors would also.
They encouraged me to continue to write and share my poems. I stayed with it and now, praise God, I have been blessed with this book.
