REQUESTING HELP, LORD

Requesting Help, Lord

Lord, Help me Love my self the Way YOU Do, withOut a Trace of Fears and Blame-and-Praise! And Help me Love all Other Beings, Too, and Be most Merciful, in All my Ways. Fer Makin' This and Other Dreams come True, I Owe you All my Very, Very Best! Accept my Love and GratiTude, please Do, fer Makin' Me so Very, Very Blest!

THE LORD TURNED ME AROUND

The Lord Turned Me Around


I Usedta Git my Kicks by Bein' Crool. I Didn't Care 'bout Love 'n Bein' Kind. I Thought that I was CUTE and Pretty COOL; I Thought I Saw the Truth, but I was Blind! My FaithlessNess, one Day it Made me Sick, and It was Plain that I must Cop, or Die! My Heart an' Mind had Been as Thick as Brick, 'cause All my “RighteousNess” was but a Lie! Ya See, I'd Tried ta Follow All the Rules, ta Be a “Good Boy” – Didn't Know the Lord! But Then I Saw that Praise is Sought by Fools, who Miss the Mark 'cause Jesus they've igNored! The Prince of Peace and Joy is BuddhaChrist; that Love's the Sweetest Love will Ever Be! That Love has Always Longing Hearts sufFiced, and Ev'ry Day that Love sufFices ME!
