| "Dear God (Part 1:Child's Cry)" Dear God can you hear me? It's me Your faithful child. Well, I wouldn't call me faithful, We haven't talked in quite a while. I'm sorry that I walked away And am just now turning back. I'm sorry that I've screwed up And got my life off track Everybody makes mistakes, that much I know is true. Even Peter did it thrice one day, When he denied his knowing you. Because Jonah ran away, He was swallowed by a whale But You spared his life And Your word did prevail. Moses' spirit was full of fear And his heart was filled with doubt, But he did what You said, And got his people out. King David was a sinner too, More than some imagined, But vecause he turned and came back to You His rewards could not be fathomed. Like these great men, I wish to be Now faithful, honest, pious, and true And know that I mean it whenever I say I'm sorry, please forgive me, I love You. ~Melissa Scarborough~ |

I thank you Lord for loving me. ~ Mary Bax~ |

| "Answering to the Call" I listen closely, so I can hear your voice. In life there's always two paths, and I want to make the right choice. I wonder, what awaits me? A family? A Religious life? A family, yes I want, but with You, I want to be. Wirh a family, I can still be with you, but is a Religious life calling me? I want to spend every moment with you, honoring you, and singing your praise. I feel that I should honor you all of my days. Oh Lord, what do you want for me? There's so many things that I really want, but is a Religious Life what you want for me? I want it so badly, but what I wish for, will it be? Oh Lord, please look over me. I've felt so much of yoru love, and I don't want it to end. I want so badly to be with you, other's prayer, will you please send? Oh Lord, what is my call, confused is what I am, so please, O Lord, will you help me, will you hold my hand? ~ Mary Bax~ |
