Many break their promises,
despite what they may say.
But the promises of God,
are always yea not nay.
words by Thomas Balistreri
Reliable Promises
Humble Lesson
I confess and have contrition,
I’ve not been in submission.
I’ve tried to do things with my hands.
By my strength I’ve worked to stand.
Thus what I earned I could not afford.
Better to wait upon the Lord.
Who planned success before I began.
Who sought to raise a humble man.
Words by Thomas Balistreri
His Bounty
We are blessed
by God’s bounty.
We give Him
thanks and praise.
He is holy
and mighty,
and loving
in His ways.
by Thomas Balistreri
Jesus Christ The King
He reigns not in socialism,
nor in democracy.
Jesus rules as King,
in power and majesty.
Thomas Balistreri
New Every Morning
God’s steadfast love,
never fades away.
His faithfulness and mercy,
is new everyday.

The Center Of My Life – (By Thomas Balistreri)
Lord, You’re the center of my life.
Your direct my path and show me the light.
You guide me through the dark of night.
You take what’s left and make it right.
My desire with each new day,
is to raise my hands and give You praise.
Lord You’re wonderful, my God and King.
You are all I need, my everything.
Psalm 51:10-12 (paraphrased and rhymed)
Lord cast me not from Your presence,
or take the Holy Spirit from me.
Create in me a pure heart,
renew my spirit steadfastly.
Restore to me the joy,
of Your salvation and victory,
Grant me a willing spirit,
oh God to sustain me.

Psalm 91:7-12 (Paraphrased and Rhymed)
A thousand may fall at your left side,
ten thousand on your right,
but it shall not come near you,
and you shall behold the sight,
of the reward of the wicked,
who shall reap what they have sown,
but no evil will befall you,
because you have known,
the Lord as your refuge,
The Most High as your own,
His angels shall protect you,
lest you stumble on a stone.
Ecclesiastes 5:4 (paraphrased and rhymed)
When to God, you vow a vow,
delay not, from paying now,
or complete, in careless leisure,
for a fool, gives God, no pleasure.
