Express
Yourself
Here's a picture I drew of Jesus.
You can't see it too well, because I
don't have a scanner so I had to
take a picture of it. Feel free to
send anything you have!
Thanks,

This Man

One sleepless night while laying in
my bed. All the troubles of this life
were running through my head. As
I began to think about the past, of
how this life would not last. And
how I'd never reach that land.
Unless I had a talk with this man.
This Man, oh he bled and died.
This Man, for the lost he was
crucified. He healed and he saved.
The debts of sin He humbly paid.
This Man, oh this Man.
I then bowed down on my knees,
crying Lord please save me. And
just like that he entered in. He
cleansed my heart from every sin.
He will do this for you, if you'll just
ask him to. This Man, oh this Man.

"Stand Firm"

Verse 1: It's hard to
understand when things get
so out of hand...why friend
have all left you alone..you
want someone to blame
and you have all the shame
and you wonder why I have
to go on!

Chorus:  Theres a reason
to keep pressing on..just
keep the Faith and you'll
always be strong..no
matter the trouble or the
heartache you face...stand
firm and put Satan in his
place!

Verse 2: Your troubles
come and go and you don't
want to let it show and your
life seems like a dead
end..you want to run away
and hide and forget God is
by your side..never lettin
God Have full control!

I Don't Want to be a Gangsta No
More

God, I'm so exhausted.
My heart begs to leave my chest,
my body is shattered,
my lungs fail me,
I've ran long enough.
Too long has my soul suffered,
too many times has my heart been
broken,
too long has my mind been tormented.
My only companion is loneliness.
In darkness I dwell
I kneel in a pool of tears,
broken and despondent.
Life is deserting me.

Lord, I know I don't deserve it,
but If you could spare some mercy
I'll surrender my life to you.
And then through all my circumstances a
still small voice,
"I'm here, and I'll never leave you."
Out of the darkness light shown down;
where death once was life does much
more abound.
My heart is mended,
my soul is at rest,
and my mind has peace.
God, your love is extravagant.
Your mercy is beyond comprehension.
Your grace exceeds all limitation.
I pray you keep me in your loving arms,
oh God
so that I'll never fall away again.

When Doves Cry

I've believed deception.
I've chosen to walk away.
I have fallen,
but God has not forsaken me.
I hide in darkness,
yet he shows me the light.
I run without caution.
Denying the truth.
Now the tires are screeching.
The glass is breaking,
My world is collapsing,
and I'm seconds away from death.

When bad things happen to good people.
Thats when doves cry.
We'll face hard times,
but don't worry God will be glorified.

As I lay in a bed without hope
Lost in sin.
I see Jesus stretching out his merciful hand.
God, I've made mistakes,
and I've felt remorse.
I've believed lies,
but I'm ready for truth.
I give you all of me.
Take me as I am,
and cleanse me with your blood.
I thank you for your boundless mercy,
and your endless love.
My life is yours, use me.

When bad things happen to good people.
Thats when doves cry.
We'll face hard times,
but don't worry God will be glorified.

HEAVEN
Somewhere in time there's a
place, I'm told
where streets are made of purest
gold
A river flows by a tree of life,
And there we'll have no trouble
and strife
A mansion awaits me over there,
Forever I'll live, no burdens I'll
bear
Never a problem, never a care
Just endless joy and beauty so
rare
This heavenly place, this city of
light
A land where never comes a night
One day I'll enter just to see
The face of him who died for me.
I'll search the banks on the
beautiful shore,
to find my loved ones who went
on before
I'll see you there if we ne'er again
meet,
You can find me at my dear
Saviour's feet
