He wore a crown of thorns

Nailed to a wooden cross, to some a great loss.

But you must stop and think,

God gave his only Son, for our own sake.

Now if you believe and trust

In the one and only

Then he will live within you

You will know his love is true

You will know, You're not alone.

No one had a clue

But soon they would know,

That his true Love, could show.

Because; he arose the third day,

And we are all blessed in every way.

Now every day of my life,

I thank the Lord above.

For his awesome Love

Because; I know that

He loves me so

Now if you believe and trust

In the one and only

Then he will live within you

And you will know his love is true.

You will know you're not alone.

When you know God

"You're Not Alone"

I Don't Always Say AMEN

When I think I've finished praying,
I don't always say, "Amen,"
For I keep a running dialogue,
Going on all day with Him.

Off and on throughout the day,
I speak aloud to God,
A fact that is so commonplace,
I do not think it's odd.

God can do what I can't do,
(Or, I can't do alone,)
I ask His help a thousand times,
For many tasks at home.

Be it opening a jar,
Or undoing knotted cords,
I always say, "Please help me, God,"
Then say, "I Thank you, Lord."

It's "please" and "thank you" all day long,
It's natural - like breathing,
It isn't planned; it just comes out,
It's comfortable and pleasing.

I suppose my prayers are selfish,
(I need to work on that,)
But sometimes I merely talk to Him,
And ask for nothing back.

I think God knows what's going on,
He can recognize true need,
I may just want a Holy Ear,
And not a Holy Deed.
