Pity Party!

Pity Party!

I decided to throw a party

I invited everyone

but it’s hard to have a party

when there is only one

Sometimes....

Sometimes I sit and wonder in my bed

has everything that could be said about you been said

has everything that could be thought been thought

has everything that could be brought up been brought

but then I know why I believe and you alone are there

nothing has been said about you that can be said

nothing has been thought which could be thought of

and nothing has been brought up which could be brought

who am i who seeks to see your face

who am I who seeks to find your grace

who am i to look above

who am i lord...just someone you love

The Task

The Task

the task is too great for me oh god

my hand too weak and small

my arms feel as if they are wood

my legs shake and i may fall

my mind not strong or sharp or good

my voice trembles each time i call

my gut feels as if it’s too full of  food

i am not up to this at all

Fear not what you lack for I am here

Haven’t I told you so

I have not left you I am near

I said I would be where you go

you will be the head and not the tail

you will stand strong and tall

you will trump both snow and hail

you will answer when I call

So go you now and preach each word

I place into your mind

now go forth and let it be heard

How I saved all mankind
