Holiday Bandits

On By gaillovesgodIn 1989Leave a comment

Christmas seems to be a time a lot of people understand,
But somewhere get lost.
They are very appreciative of their friends and family,
But just can’t meet the cost.
They think they have to buy a present of great value,
And try to find the cash.
Crime is at a higher rate. Where is it all coming from?
You shouldn’t have to ask.
So please understand that people are aware and in love with Christmas.
They are just misunderstanding the value.
Don’t be too hard on someone going to great lengths for someone they care.
That someone may be you.

I Am Just One

On By gaillovesgodIn 2012Leave a comment

So many times I am discouraged
or defeated by being just one,
but God Himself places value
in being found and what’s to be done.
Lost and wandering away,
He leads me home by His voice.
When He receives me home,
all of heaven helps Him rejoice.
Just one, just little old me
is enough cause to celebrate.
God has saved the perishing
just before it was too late.
Thank you, God, for believing
that I was worth pursuing.
Thank you for thinking
that I was worth rescuing.
