I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep,
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss and called you back for one more.
If I knew it would be that last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare a minute or two
To stop and say "I love you." instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance to make everything right.
there will always be another day to say our "I love you's",
And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved ones tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
And you were to busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear,
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

I suddenly became aware...that I was no longer the same.
From the day, many years ago, when I accepted Jesus way,
so I bowed on my knees...and I began to pray.
"Dear Lord, please listen..for there's something I need to ask of you.
Forgive me, Lord for the useless vessel I've become...
and the work, I no longer do.
My heart has become hardened...my body's become so weak and tired.
No longer do I feel your Joy...no longer do I feel inspired.
My spirit is only reciting words, I so often have heard.
The fire seems to have gone out now...when I listen to your Word.
I don't seem to have the compassion any longer for my fellow man,
when I know one day in Hell, they will surely stand.
And I too, am guilty of putting things of the world in your place.
I've filled my life with events of the day and have given you so little time and space.
I've come to realize that you could come any day and it could be very soon,
and in knowing this, I'm much to blame...for those I know, who will suffer their doom.
I've grown so used to my salvation, that I've come to simply ignore,
the ugly sins of my own past and what Jesus really died for.
And now the little church where I belong...has become only a vessel that's unused,
for no longer do people come...the way they all used to do.
Please forgive me, for not listening when I heard the Holy Spirit say,
'You're blinded, My child, You're going the wrong way'.
I know Father that you are disappointed and not very pleased with me.
And I realize that I have become like so many other's...a content Christian, we all now see.
Help me to go back to the day of the Cross,
and forgive my sins, so I can help save others who too are lost.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit as you did once before,
and I promise this day, I'll begin to work even more.
I'll tell others about Jesus...and where they are failing too,
and remind them Lord, they too need to look at their own heart's and come quickly back to you.
For you surely are the only reason any of us are still living today,
and if they will only listen...they too will hear you say,
'You're blinded, My Child, you're going the wrong way.'

Tell the devil today, he is a liar! He will not take your joy, your peace or disturb your spirit.
Tell him he cannot sleep in your bed - there's not enough cover.
Tell him he cannot sit in your chair - you will not give him a cushion of comfort.
Tell him he can't touch your body - it's covered with the blood.
Tell him he cannot audit your finances - you've changed accountants.
Tell him he cannot enter your home - the locks have been changed.
Tell him to leave your workplace - he's not on your list of things to do for today.
Tell him to take his hands off your children - because you've had hands laid on.
Tell him you have no time for his nonsense, criticism or fears - you are on a mission, and you walk by faith.
Tell him no more tears, heartaches, or headaches - because there's another He, that restoreth your soul.
Tell him. Tell him. Tell him. Tell him.
Tell him, today, you have a gentle, powereful inner peace within, that consumes you and leaves no room for confusiion.
Tell him, today you will - respond soothingly to a crying child, a tense spouse, or an impatient friend.
Tell him, today, you will find no fault with a relative, friend, or colleague.
Tell him to leave your tongue alone - for today you will not talk of anyone, before placing God at the beginning of your thought.
Tell him, wherever you are, tht God Is.
Tell him, God said, "My people will abide in a peaceful habitation... and in quiet resting places."
(isaiah 32:18)
Today, Tell him he is a liar!!!
"I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace.
In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!"
(John 16:33)
