Sweet Sweet Rose


She was special.
That’s what they said.
But so sad a life,
Was the life that she led.
So much to give
So much was taken
She thought it was love,
But Rose was mistaken.
Her soft, velvet heart,
Blooming just yesterday,
Sings now a sad song,
“How can it be this way?”
What’s left of her
Is in tiny pieces.
Shredded, they blow,
Floating on breezes.
No one would bend
To help her up.
When she was thirsty,
Not one filled her cup.
Would anyone visit
Or clothe Rose’s needs?
Did we Christians
Prove Him through our deeds?
No.
She is alone…
A single red Rose.
Oh, woe is the one
Who leaves her lying
Too busy to want
The Rose that is dying.

By DaBru:
In Starlight

To search for answers in the sky
To gaze the stars and wonder why
As if my soul could climb, could fly
Up to the clouds above.

To ask and wait so answer-less
To wade about in earthly mess
Where all I seek is Heaven's rest
And heavenly, to love.

To lie in wait beneath the sun
From day that starts to day that's done
To feel alone- the only one
Is something I could prove.

So find me where I rest so long
And sing to me of Heaven's song
Beneath this sky I sense no wrong
'Neath stars that blink and move.

By Kelsey:

Flight of Destiny

Years of change
Days in the dark
You finally break through
A beautiful sight
You are a beautiful creation
You spread your wings for the first time
Only to learn that you can fly...

You are God's blessing
Yet you hide
You have a precious gift
Yet you are alone
You have an entrancing personality
Yet you change it countless times
You have wings...
So Fly

Like A Lamb Slain
 
With all the pain
He had nothing to gain
Yet he held everything at a loss
And was nailed to a cross
Because of our sin he was slain
 
 
Grace
 
How can we trace
God's wonderful grace
The scars on his hands
With majestic power, he stands
A smile upon his face, shown with grace

By Lydia:

Stars

The stars are pure and bright,
Gleaming diamonds of light,
That shine clear through the night.

I gaze upon a star
And feel God is not far.
The darkness leaves no scar.

Sparkling glimmering jewels,
With no limits or rules,
Big bangs were made for fools.

Stars twinkle in the sky,
Then we see with a sigh,
Dawn opening her eye.

By Emma:
Everlasting Love

Oh dear God help me
Help me carry on
And to be strong

When everyone is tellin' me
To be someone I don't want to be

Oh Jesus, you were there holdin' my hand
And you were there pullin' me out of the sinkin' sand.

I would have lost my way
If you weren't there to say
"Trust me, oh my child
I'll help you down this wild road."

Thank you, oh my Lord
For giving me your word

I now trust in you,
'Cause you pulled me through.
