STRAIGHT AHEAD

Million's cry out to God in pain ,and distress ,thinking heaven is silent
But the Lord is not deaf
It is He who fashioned your heart individually
Answering prayer's one by one,each to one's own need
Jesus walked on water ,then to Calvary
On that rocky path to show you and meTurn not right nor left ,but focus straight ahead
Jesus made it to the end !
I follow my savior's lead , step out the the boat Jesus hold me !
The rocky path ,I stumble at times , but a righteous saint ,shakes off the dust then get's up
My sin is nailed to the cross ,inactive it be
There is only one Calvary
My eye's close in death then
Open and see , Jesus arm's wide open
Waiting for me .

Bible

Jesus loves me this I know ,cause the Bible tells me so !

REFLECTIONS OF ME

LOOKING IN THE MIRROR ONLY A REFLECTION I SEE
A DOUBLE HEART IS HE
ARE YOU REAL OR IS IT ME ?
THE SHADOW CROSSES ME
THE LIGHT GOES OFF
ONLY DARKNESS I SEE
WHO WAS HE ?

ALLEYCAT POEMS / REBORN

STANDING IN A ROOM STARING AT THE SMALL T.V. WITH BIBLE SITTING ON TOP
SILENCE , TENSION , DEATH IN THE AIR .
I KNEW WHAT TO DO BEFORE , BUT NOW , I'M NUMB ,SUSPENDED THOUGHT.
THEN I HEARD A VOICE SAY
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ? THEN EVERYTHING I'VE DONE WAS FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES
NOTHING BUT EMPTINESS WAS MY LIFE
NOW MY EYES WERE OPEN THIS I NEVER SEEN
BUT HE WHO SPOKE THE UNIVERSE INTO EXISTENCE REVEALED TO ME DILAPIDATION ALREADY SET IN
WHERE ARE YOU GOING ,HE ASKED GENTLY
I SAID LORD I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT SO FAR FROM THEE !
BUT PLEASE IF YOU CAN RESCUE ME
WITH THAT SAID THERE'S A KNOCK AT THE DOOR
I LOOK THOUGH THE SHADES AND WHAT DO I SEE
THE POLICE HAVE COME TO ARREST ME !
6 MONTHS LATER NOW I CAN SEE
THE POISON OF ALCOHOL HAS LEFT ME
BEING WITHOUT A DRINK ALL THESE MONTHS , THE GRACE OF GOD NEVER LEFT MY BUNK.
NOW RELEASED I ENROLL IN BIBLE SCHOOL TO KNOW WHY I BELIEVE
A NEW LIFE WITH CHRIST IN ME .

RESCUED

Whether a vision or dream i know not
The voice bids me to come
through the action of the wind
The billowy sea is rushing toward me
Follow me said He
As my feet touched the water I get a chill
Oh what a thrill
I then look away
I'm sinking almost under
I'm going down
Little strength to hold on
A hand reaches out
Rescues me
Oh ye of little faith
Why did you look away ?
Compassion in His eyes
Jesus said your mine
Never to be snatched out of my hand
Arise my little lamb.

Eugene Carranco

A BIRD ALONE WATCHING

Waiting for Mom & Dad to come home
While I'm in the house alone
Yearning to hear their voices say'' were home ''
Knowing they will never arrive
Alone for the moment
In silence
Listening to the ringing in my ears
Time has stood still
So I think ?
Trusting in Him who said
I'll return with those who sleep
To reunite that your loneliness will cease.

NOTICE

When a child brings a gift
Whether food or such
let me not look so lightly at this thing done
But see the true meaning of this compassionate deed
As from her precious heart
Oh Lord please forgive me
Forgive me for speaking to much
Let me see the gem that You have sent
That shines so much !
