One Moment In Time

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free




A New Year's Day

O Thou whose glory fills the heavens, 
Whose bounty clothes the earth,
To Thee a poem of thanks we raise
For blessings from our birth.

For that untiring love Thou dost,
From day to day renew,
O may it on our hearts descend
Like heaven-distilled dew.

For mercy great, unending still,
Which gave up to the grave
Thine only Son, the Sinless One,
Our sinful souls to save.

While entering on another year
Our cares on Thee we cast,
Beseeching aid in days to come
Which cheered us through the past.

That still the freedom may be ours
To kneel down in Thy sight,
And worship Thee at shut of day,
And in the morning light.

That from temptation's fatal paths
Thou turn our steps away;
And keep us from unholy thoughts
That lead the mind astray.

No more may lust of worldly wealth
Command thoughts that are thine;
Nor may we envy other's lot,
Or at our own repine.

Than all the riches earth can boast
Or gems beneath the sea,
We know the pious, humble heart,
More precious is to Thee.

How needful, then, to train our thoughts,
And fan the heavenly flame
Of faith, in the believing heart,
Triumphing o'er sin and shame

And holding by the Word, thou hast
For grace and guidance given,
Pass trough this world in holy fear,
True candidates for heaven.


Poem By Charles Moir

Peace Of Mind


Is there no peace in this world,
No freedom from pain and worry,
Will there always be anxiety,
Over sins we cannot bury?

Our Holy God reminds us,
Work six days every week,
On the seventh day we shall rest,
And listen for Him to speak.

When we follow His commandments
And take time to hear His Word,
We refresh our mind and spirit
Our lives to under gird.

We need to seek Him often,
In a quiet place,
And chat with Him like family,
To find His cherished grace.

He wants to hear our voices,
Say, "I love and trust you, Father God.
Thank Him for His love and mercy,
And smile instead of sob.

He gets enormous pleasure,
From our sincere prayer,
When we treat like a real Father,
He goes with us everywhere.

Peace of mind is His gift,
To carry us through a cloudy day,
Spend all the time you can,
Along the straight and narrow way.

Make the time to meet with Him,
On this busy road of life,
And peace will heal your sorrows,
And free you from gloom and strife.
