For My Wife Whom I Love

If Tomorrow Never Comes

Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
If my time on earth were through
She must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
If my time on earth were through
She must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes...

With Love From Your STM :)

Alyssa Lies

My little girl met a new friend,
just the other day,
on the playground at school
between the tires and the swings

But she came home with tear-filled eyes,
and she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"

Well I just brushed it off at first,
'cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt.
Or the things she had seen.
I wasn't ready when I said "You can tell me"

and she said...

"Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school,
Alyssa lies to the teachers,
as she tries to cover every bruise"

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep.
As I stepped out the room, I heard her say a prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my Dad
and my new friend, Alyssa
*oh*I know she needs you bad.

Because Alyssa lies to the classroom,
Alyssa lies everyday at school.
Alyssa lies to the teachers,
as she tries to cover every bruise"

I had the worst night of sleep in years.
as I tried to think of a way to calm her fears,
I knew just what it was I had to do *I knew exactly what I had to do*
but when we got to school on Monday I heard the news.

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad,
the lump in my throat grew bigger,
with every question that she asked.
Until I felt the tears run down my face,
and I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today.

'Cause she doesn't lie, in the classroom,
she doesn't lie, anymore at school.
Alyssa lies, with Jesus
because there's nothin' anyone would do!

Tears filled my eyes, when my little girl asked me why.
Alyssa lies...
*Oh Daddy, oh* Daddy tell me why??
Alyssa lies.

GOD'S WILL

In an attempt to secure the sovereignty of God, theologians have overstated their case and left us with a chess player God, playing both sides of the board, making all His moves and all ours too but clearly, this is not so.
It is God who takes immense risks.
No doubt the biggest risk of all was when He gave angels and men free will, including the freedom to reject Him, not just once, but every single day.
Does God cause a person to sin? “Absolutely not!” says Paul (Gal. 2:17).
Then He can’t be moving all the pieces on the board, because people sin all the time.
Fallen angels and men use their powers to commit horrendous daily evil.
Does God stop every bullet fired at an innocent victim?
Does He prevent teenage liaisons from producing teenage pregnancies?
There is something much more risky going on here than we’re often willing to admit.

Most of us do everything we can to reduce the element of risk in our lives.
We wear our seat belts, watch our cholesterol, and practice birth control.
I know some couples who have decided against having children altogether!
For they simply aren’t willing to chance the heartache children often bring.
What if they are born with a crippling disease?
What if they turn their backs on us, and God?
What if . . . ?

God seems to fly in the face of all caution.
Even though He knew what would happen, what heartbreak and suffering and devastation would follow upon our disobedience,
God chose to have children and unlike some hyper-controlling parents, who take away every element of choice they can from their children, God gave us a remarkable choice.
He did not make Adam and Eve obey him.
He took a risk.
A staggering risk, with staggering consequences.
He let others into his story, and He lets their choices shape it profoundly.

What A Lucky Man He Was

He had white horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was...

For You From,
