I reach for You,
who is always near,
to comfort me,
and remove my fear.
Yet even before,
my reaching starts,
You’re already here,
within my heart.

To Begin Again – (by Tom Balistreri)
The Lord cleanses souls and makes them new.
He replaces false with the true.
Relieves the burden and the pain.
And allows us to begin again.
From The King – (By Tom Balistreri)
I may seem to lack,
fancy things.
My words may fail,
to have a special Ring.
But the result of faith,
in Christ does bring,
adoption by,
God and king.
Nothing To Hang On To – (by Tom Balistreri)
I’ve given up nothing,
for nothing is all I had.
I thought that losing nothing,
somehow would be bad.
Now free to give to others,
from new discovered wealth.
For nothing becomes something,
when one gives of them self.
Humble Thanks – (by Tom Balistreri)
Sometimes there are days,
all I can give is humble praise.
Lord thank You for the days delights,
and seeing me through the darkest nights.
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas – (sung by Tom Balistreri)
It can’t start too soon or end too late.
This is my singing of the classic holiday tune,
“It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas.”
Thanks for listening.
All May Find It – (by Tom Balistreri)
From the great to the small.
From the corrupt to the pure.
Redemption is provided,
and Your love is assured.
Joy and peace may feel elusive,
in this world of sin.
But to dwell in God’s Spirit,
brings one peace within.
The Great Pursuit – (by Tom Balistreri)
I will not falter,
or fail to start,
to pursue the Lord,
with all my heart.
To my surprise,
I did not foresee,
the Lord God,
pursues me.
Lighted Maze – (By Tom Balistreri)
Sometimes life’s path
is like a maze at night,
with many options
left and right.
But one can find the course
to escape their plight,
by following
God’s guiding light.
