A living transformation,

sometimes quickly,

often slow,

comes to those

who turn to Christ,

and come to know,

His love and revelation,

as he turns

darkness into light,

and they find

old things become new,

and find new life.

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance as I sing the Irving Berlin song,
“Lets Face the Music and Dance.”
A song written in 1936 for Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers to dance to in their movie “Follow The Fleet.”
Thank you for listening. – Tom

Through the trial,

through the test,

I turn to God,

to find rest.

In this world,

conflicts do not cease,

but in the Lord,

there is peace.

You set before me

a choice of path.

Your way that’s blessed,

or my aftermath.

I turn from how,

I’ve walked astray.

And choose to journey,

in Your way.

Through out the day

I give pause

to worship You,

creations cause.

I thank You Lord,

for all You’ve done,

and the gift You gave,

of Your Son.

Standing After The Fall

I have vowed,
and I have failed.
My foolish ways,
seem to prevail.
.
My Lord forgives.
But I do not.
I curse myself,
for what I’ve wrought.
.
Yet again I stand.
I am not done.
With the help of God.
I’ll overcome.
