Year Round

 Year Round 

I ponder the day before me

As I ponder the day before 

Reminded kindly of your open door

 

Nose in the book 

A new life begins 

I feel content 

With my current level of sins

 

I confess to thee

That I may slip and fall

But with endurance and love

I focus on You through it all.

 

The days are evil

They will only get worse 

But following You

Is no doubt the best course

 

Trials and tribulation are sure to come 

But we have an advocate 

Whom some might say is The chosen one

 

So as I digress

Today was a good day

Perfect nearly slightly 

But I will not stray away 

 

I’m old enough to know

What’s right and what’s wrong 

So maybe one day I’ll put this in a song

 

That I will push forward 

And stand firm on higher ground 

I choose to strive for perfection 

I choose to strive year round 

 

The Battle Begins

 

The Battle Begins 

 

The battle begins

But isn’t it clear

Before I begin 

I know you are near 

 

The battle begins 

But the fight is won

The battle begins 

And the fun is done 

 

I’m fighting I’m tense 

Yet a peace is within 

I struggle to make sense

Yet you speak for me again 

 

This is no fun game 

But with you i am pleased 

What it is I wish 

I will lay at your feet 

 

You’ve completed my work

Yes you’ve done it already

The blessings are flowing 

The blessings are many 

 

The battle begins 

But the pain it won’t last 

It doesn’t compare 

To what’s in store. That’s a fact

Fulfilling

Fulfilling 

The sky is clear

60’s flood the plain 

Grass bold and green

No sight of rain 

 

Let’s talk to souls

Step away from the comfort zone

The bold green grass

I choose to roam.

 

Chorus

If today were our last

Would we be content 

With what we’ve done

Or are we on the fence 

 

Let’s be bold

And move forward 

You are more precious than gold 

And your steps are ordered 

 

Verse 

I have a plan 

I’m fulfilling these tasks 

Done with the old man

Getting back on track 

 

My favorite words 

For all to read 

Are how I’m just fulfilling in this life

These tasks from thee
