Woman At The Well

A dusty road,

The mid-day sun.

Our Lord sits down.

His work’s not done.

He rests alone,

And comes a woman.

“Sir, you are thirsty.”

He says to her,

“Go call your husband.”

So speaks the Lord

Straight to her heart.

A sinner she,

We know the part.

They talk some more

She finds what she sought.

“Sir, You’re a prophet.”

He says to her,

“Drink living water.”

Our Lord has come 
To offer each

Eternal life 
Within our reach

Come to the well of life eternal

We are open vessels. 
Wash away our sin.
Feed us living water. 
Fill us to the brim.

A hand pump was the best 'well' I could find in my area....mosaic effect

I really liked this mirrored app!

Wrestling With A Heart Attack

Participating in ABC Wednesday letter W...with an instrumental for the young at heart♫♪

1. Blond and blue eyed in her jeans, gripping the wheel of her jeep

Casting her eyes down my way making my heart leap.

She passes by smiling and, tapping the horn, it beeps.

I’m on the side lines

with high hopes she will notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart,

she hamstrings  me.

Refrain

So wrangle this, and wrangle that.

I’m all a twist. Imagine that.

~

2. Hallways are crowded yet I feel all alone of all things

Books by her desk, she grabs her bag by its purse strings.

She stops to talk, and I am saved the bell, it rings.

I’m on the side lines

with high hopes she will notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart,

she hamstrings  me.

Refrain

I’m wrestling with a love attack.

She has me up against my back

She’s tied my heart.  There is no slack.

I hope she will notice me.

Wrestlin’ with my heart,

she hamstrings  me.

So wrangle this, and wrangle that.

I think I’m whipped. Imagine that.
(repeat and mixed)

Wrestling with a love attack. I’m all a twist

She has me up against my back. I’ll wrangle that.

She’s wrestling with a love attack. I think I’m whipped

She has me up against my back.  I’ll wrangle that.

She’s tied my heart

there is no going back.

Refrain:

I woke up and found I’d had a dream,

A vivid little dream.

Effect on me is overwhelming.

You were right outside my open door,

A fact I can’t ignore.

My dream quest is so all consuming.

I am ready now

Believe me

I can say right now

No faking

I’m back on the road to life

I’m taking

You right with me

I am on a dream quest

Refrain

I am on a quest, dream quest.

(mixed)

You’ve always been there.

Showing that you care.

I am now aware.

My quest’s beginning.

I am on a dream quest.

Refrain

I am on a quest, dream quest

(mixed)

I am ready now

Believe me

I can say right now

No faking

I’m back on the road to life

I’m taking

You right with me

I am on a dream quest

Change Is In The Air

(You may have to pull the cursor to the right to get it to load)

Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter C
and Inspire Me Monday
Check out other entries!

1. Listen in as I tell a tale

Of why change is in the air

Refrain:

Feel the shift

Of attitude and understand my place.

I have learned

The ultimate in understanding grace.

2. Used to be that I thought my plans

Were the ticket out of here.

My puny plan just would not congeal.

But I kept on,  I’d persevere.

3. People prayed that I’d find my way

But I scoffed at them. They were weird.

I walked a straight line and faked the good life but

 I really never really understood.

Refrain

 Always set the cart before the horse

Instead of just believing.

Evidence is all around me.

Now I have the chance

To change my core.

Revised refrain:

Feel the lift

Of attitude and understanding grace

I have learned

The ultimate in knowing my own place.

4. Daily now I look up to the sky,

I imagine how He’ll appear.

I see the world thru diffr’ent eyes,

The chaos holds no appeal.

5. Navigating thru my life of trials

Is easier you can see.

The change in me is so much better now,

no regrets and no “what ifs “ for me.

Revised refrain

Change is in the air 6X

Thunder in the Mountain

A chaotic instrumental....with lyrics attuned to nature's wrath.  See what you think♥
You may need to move the cursor all the way to the right to get it to load.

Time for T....an entry for ABC Wednesday♫♪

1. There may be thunder in the mountains and thunder on the plains,

There may be rocks along the road and heartache down the lane.

Floods run down the hillside and fire takes the trees.

There's times when earth just opens up wide

And swallows all its needs.

You fill my future perfectly.

We can face each others fears,

Even when we're wrapped in

Darkest night.

Refrain:

Thunder in the mountain

Precedes a future imperfect.

Rumbling our world apart,

Our love it will dissect.

Time will be on our side,

As we chart the course of our lives

Hanging on and focused

On our fight.

2. Illness may besiege us or we will face calamity.

We will feel like falling, collapsing to our knees.

We have just a lifetime to meet our destiny.

But know that love will hold together

When thunder claps its hands.

~

Refrain

3. You may hear the thunder pounding through your veins.

As grief has taken hold of your life expanding wounds and pains.

Tears will salt our lifetime, and test our love's stronghold

But we will face the storms together

When thunder traps our peace.

Refrain

Heaven and earth may change their course but we'll pass through it all.

Love is on our side, nothing can penetrate that wall.

You fill my future perfectly.

We can face each other’s fears,

Even when we're wrapped in

Darkest night.

Refrain

Time will be on our side,

As we chart the course of our lives

Hanging on and focused

On our fight.

Refrain (2X)

Thunder in the mountain, love will pass the test

Thunder in the mountain, thunder put to rest.

Raspberry Rain

You may have to move the cursor to the right so it will play all the way through♪

My daughter has begun making up her own piano pieces and I really liked this tune, so I added some instruments and lyrics:  this is the resulting instrumental♫♪
Then I worked on a rainy Saturday and took some photos through my windshield without the wipers going....my postal truck's big windshield makes for a great filter!!!
Participating in ABC Wednesday-Letter R

1. It must have been a blustery day 

That threw you in my path to stay.

You make me feel these pelts of rain

That mark my heart with dripping stain.

The gripping storm defines our ties.

The maelstrom strikes beyond your lies.

But I’m not past our drama-rama.

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Drizzled with pain.

2. Who said parting is such sweet sorrow?

Words I hoped never to borrow

  Sugar coated rotten tastes

Have caused myself to go to waste.

You’ve ruined me, so here’s the deal

I need time, some time to heal.

My heart’s been crushed to jam-a-rama

Raspberry rain

My heart’s down the drain

~

Splashing through deep puddles

Pulls me under

Cold and to the core

I’m drowning In this downpour

Floods of fallen tears

Break all my barriers...

3. I thought you were protecting me

But I’ll adjust, I’ll learn to be

observant of how things are done

And look out more for number one

I can’t depend, I won’t depend

On being sheltered from the rain.

You can’t be my umbrella fella

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Raspberry rain

Heart soaked with stain

Drizzled with pain.

I'll not be your drama momma...

Your Days Are Numbered

A heavy instrumental of dire warnings:
Participating in Alphabe-Thursday letter Y
and Inspire Me Monday...click on the links and join in♫

1. Your Days are numbered.

No matter where you stand

Or how you stand or why you stand,

I know it’s crossed your mind,

That your days are numbered.

Oh, you have made your plans

And if you can, you’ll never have

To bother thinking that it’s

Your days that are numbered.

Chorus:

So open up you eyes and maybe you will realize

The Lord is in your life,

And He has your number.

Your Days Are Numbered (2X)

2. Try to remember.

You think that life’s a pain

And there is nothing to be gained.

Your problems overwhelm and

You can’t remember.

Oh days are speeding by,

And if you think of it you’ll try

To spend some perfect time,

But it’s your days that are numbered.

Chorus:

Your Days Are Numbered (5X)

3. You’re not to surrender

So just make up your mind to view

Your journey’s end is new.

The Word will give your cue,

So do not surrender.

You can persevere

And you will be inspired still,

And you will be relieved

That your days are numbered.

Keep opening your eyes, and now you can realize

The Lord is in your life,

And He has your number.

(mixed)

He has your number. (6X)

(Your days are numbered) (6X)

Not sure if it is an admonishment or an encouragement to Get Right with God, but this Age of Grace has to be nearer to its end than its beginning♫
