Guest Post: Cloud Pictures




Cloud Pictures

Don’t clouds in the sky
Form the oddest things
From babies in cribs
To horses with wings

I could lie down and watch
Clouds float all day;
My mind creates pictures
And stories that way

An old bearded man
Turns into a child
An innocent teddy
Into a lion so wild

A panda stands tall
On its back strong hind feet
Then becomes a small dog
Begging for a treat

The things I can see
The tales I could make
Are so countless
Just think of the time it would take

I think, and don’t you
That when God made the sky
He placed clouds in the air
Thinking of you and I

Don’t clouds in the air
Form the oddest things
Pictures and stories
Oh, what joy it brings.

Broken Hearts



 Broken lives strew the path of life
Pieces of people’s hearts all around
Pain and suffering try to win
The fight is on for love to abound

Broken hearts, broken lives
Disaster is what I see
Broken hearts, broken lives
People longing to be free
Broken hearts, broken lives
Please tell me who holds the key?

Trapped in the hold of sin and guilt
People slipping down a dark slope
Searching all around for someone
Helpless mankind longs for hope

Broken hearts, broken lives
Who will save the lost?
Broken hearts, broken lives
What will pay the cost?
Broken hearts, broken lives
What will become of the lost?

Just when it seems all hope is lost
Turn your head upward oh, turn it now
Hope and love are awaiting you
Oh, reach out! See the thorn-covered Brow?

No longer live in dark and fear
Jesus the Savior has laid down His life
Repent, oh sinner, Jesus says, “Come.”
Yield your broken heart, yield the sin and strife!

Broken hearts, broken lives
Now broken hearts no longer
Healed by Christ, saved by Blood
Safe in His love, I'm stronger
Brand new hearts, transformed lives
Jesus can make you stronger

Broken lives, broken hearts

Christ can heal them all
