Not in the wind,
or in the thunder,
will you hear the voice,
above all wonder.
Not in the sound,
of a raging river,
God’s still small voice,
appears as a whisper.

Nothing To Hang Onto – (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.
.
Unchanging – (by Tom Balistreri)
Season change,
as we through time.
Search for the constant,
and you will find,
there’s only one,
with surety,
that is the Lord,
God Almighty.

The Luxury Of The Poor – (By Tom Balistreri)
The rich man lives in luxury,
all needs met in this life.
The poor man depends on God,
to lead him through the strife.
.
The end for each is similar,
both arrive at the grave.
But it was easier for the poor,
to find he was saved.

Drift Toward Pride – (by Tom Balistreri)
Success in ones life,
may cause one to drift.
Into feelings of pride.
This is well to resist.
.
When the power of the humble,
have their feelings shift,
the wise will remember,
talent is God’s gift.
.
The Bridge – (by Tom Balistreri)
It may be hard,
to understand,
that Christ is the bridge,
between God and man.
.
Through Him we have,
now become,
no longer slaves,
but adopted sons.

The Word Was Bespoke – (By Tom Balistreri)
The Word of God was bespoke
to redeem all from death.
To renew a right spirit,
and to give the weary rest.
At Last
I sing here to a nice jazz piano version of the classic song,
“At Last.”
A drone also flys over Pittsburgh and its South Side at night as I sing.
Thank you for listening.

The Precious Gift – (by Tom Balistreri)
It is a gift so precious.
Worth more than pearls or gold.
It’s value never changes.
Whether it is young or old.
.
It begins at it’s creation.
But it never has an end.
It is common for everyone,
yet unique and can ascend.
.
Despite rank or positions,
that one may possess,
your spirit, soul and life
make you one and you are blessed.
.
Final Triumph
No mater your situation,
or lifestyle you have had.
The Lord will receive you.
No burden will He add.
.
Do not dwell on struggle,
nor whine and mope.
Have faith in God,
your eternal hope.
.
He will redeem
and see you through,
to blessings that
you never knew.
.
The Lord God will triumph,
over all evil deeds.
He will heal all that’s broken,
and set all captives free.
.
