Thanksgiving Time

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of year

Thanking God for all he has made clear

Being thankful for families coming together again

Hoping everything is well for all of them, Amen

Food is being cooked and the house smells so good

As vapors make their way out from under range hood

Turkey, beef or ham it really doesn’t matter to most

Everyone will be stuffed, well almost

Because there is always room for pie no matter the kind

All who finish will find a chair and recline

Later the games will be played and oh no’s and cheers are spoken

For games bring out so much of a family’s emotion

No one wins or really ever loses

For when it’s over back to the recliner for more snoozes

When it is all over we leave and go back to our own homes

There we are left to communicate only with our phones

Get Up

God doesn’t just want us to dream big and stop

He wants to do big things through us and reach for the top

So, get up and move get in the groove of the Holy Spirit’s power

Let him show you the dream he has for you

Then with his power, show the world what you can do

So, get up and move get in the groove of the Holy Spirit’s power

His opportunities abound; every one of them is sound

Don’t sit and grow old

Don’t sit and grow stale

Don’t sit and grow sour

Get up and move get in the groove

Receive the Holy Spirit’s power

                       Before Now and Soon

After his sacrifice for our sins, he sat down at his father’s right hand

As the angels sang and played worship and praise songs in their heavenly band

He waits for his enemies to be made his footstool

As the grapes of wrath are pressed into a large pool

He treads the winepress of his fear and of his wrath

Nothing no nothing will stand in our Lord’s path

He is coming He is coming he is riding a white horse

Nothing in heaven or hell can change his course

Its rider is called faithful and true

Look up for all things are about to become new

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood

His justice and mercy will cover the land like the great flood

Jesus isn’t pacing the floor it is done

Remember the war is over the battle is already won

He gives us the authority to make disciples of every nation

Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Holy Spirit and Son

Making them his holy relation

While he waits he instructs, empowers and intercedes for all

Thus enabling his children to lift their heads and stand fearless and tall

So don’t just stand looking into the sky go out and be his hands and feet

Bringing people to Christ before they face the judgment seat

Our hero will appear on a white horse and we will all be safe

For these are the last days and soon we will see him face to face
