ALL LIVES MATTER
ACRES OF DIAMONDS

THE WONDERS OF HIS LOVE
SPIRITUAL THINGS
AIN'T NO ROCK
20/20 Vision
PROTECTING OUR BLINDSIDE
HE CHOOSE ME
SEEN AND LOVED BY GOD
TREASURE BOX
SETTLED OUT OF COURT
JESUS KNEW
BASKET OF EGGS
The AGONY AND THE ECSTACY
IT IS A MATTER OF THE HEART
BLIND MEN
STAY IN YOUR LANE
THE MESSIAH'S SEAT
THE SILENT CRY
THE SINFULNESS OF SIN
THE GLORY OF GOD
MORE THAN JUST A BABE

The Eagle Has To Pray
A nation carried on the backs
Of brave warriors laid to rest
Needs to kneel in memoriam
In honor of their country’s best.
Many soldiers would be shocked
To see things they fought for stray
So far from God and Country
That the Eagle has to pray.
If the flag still stands for freedom,
Then why must it be a shame
To show it off on a lapel pin
Or to hang it in a frame?
Every flagpole in America
Should be flying colors proud.
She’s a symbol of the USA...
She should stand out in a crowd!
She went before George Washington
All the way to Viet Nam.
She flew in fervor in Iraq...
So ardent in Afghanistan.
Once being an American
Meant belonging to a nation
Whose money read “In God We Trust”
And really meant that declaration.
Being politically incorrect
Doesn’t carry too much weight...
But can the scales be balanced
In total fairness here of late?
Patriotic people like myself
Never thought we’d see the day
When we'd slip so far away from God
That the Eagle has to pray!
