                 ~~~My Apple Tree~~~

           Looking outside my window to see
           The beauty of this apple tree
           Apples sprouting from every branch
           Run, catch one quick while you have the chance
           For Winter time will soon be calling
           No more apples to catch a falling

~~~Shelter~~~

A refuge in the eye of this storm
Beaten down, tattered feeling aworn
Not knowing if I can go on another minute
My life would be hopeless without You in it

For suddenly I feel peace, the absence of fear
I know without a doubt that You are right here
Right here in my heart, right here in my soul
Surely I know that my Anchor will hold

I will NOT go down
I WILL stay afloat
When waves of despair come rocking this boat

                   ~~~Granny~~~

        Sitting here just thinking of you
        The moments we spend together
        Are way to few
        God has smiled upon me
        It must be so
        For He gave me you Grandmother
       To love and to know

       The lessons you've taught me
       Have come from your heart
       From the beginning of my life
       Yes from the very start

       You took me as a newborn
       Without a second glance
       The thing you gave me then
       Was my very first chance

       A chance at life
       The chance to live
       Oh the special gift that you did give
       Thank you Granny, I love you...

                        ~~~Jack O Lantern~~~

         So big and round, so orange and plump
         You fell to the ground with a great big thump
         But you didn't burst open, not even a crack
         I picked you up quickly and put you right back
         Right here on my doorstep for the world to see
         A Jack O Lantern for Halloween you will be

         We'll carve you two eyes, a nose and a smile
         We'll fix you up nice, real neat with such style
         To greet all the goblins will be such a task
         They'll all be dressed up in costume and mask

         When I lay down to sleep, you'll still be awake
         What a happy Halloween Jack O Lantern you'll
         make...

~~~I Will Praise Him~~~

Oh I will praise Him, 'till I have no more breath
'till my life is over and my eyes are closed in death
No matter how bad the present sufferings may be
It could never compare to what He did for me

He loved me so much, that He bore all my sin
And then He made me a new creature within
This body may be tired and weary and weak
But as I fall on my knees His dear face I will seek

Oh I will praise Him in the bad times and the good
And with His hand there to guide me in the end I'll have stood
Stood through the storms of life, and stood through all the pain
Not one single thing to loose, but I've everything to gain

Oh I will praise Him!
Oh I will praise Him!
Yes I will praise Him!
Now lets just praise Him!

So when you think that you've had all that you can take
Remember this my dear child our Lord will never forsake
For He does love you much more than you'll ever know
It's in the struggles of life your faith begins to grow

So lets just praise Him for He knows well what's best
Lay it down at His feet and take hold of His rest
For it's not worth it to worry, fear or fret
In His dear word He assures us all our needs will be met

Oh I will praise Him!
Oh I will praise Him!
Yes I will praise Him!
Now lets just praise Him!

                ~~~Our Treasure~~~
                                           (Granny Miles)
She always shares her beautiful smile
Happy and upbeat, that's just her style
Never taking but always giving
She knows the secret to the art of living

A spring in her step, the tone of her voice
Oh to be like her if I had the choice
A jewel she is, a great treasure to behold
More precious than rubies, diamonds or gold

                         ~~~Pap~~~
                                      (Pappaw Miles)
Hard working hands, sweat on his brow
Grass to mow, the garden to plow
Integrity and respect his presence commands
A family provided for by the work of his hands

Always as honest as the day is long
Working and whistling sometimes singing a song
What a fine Pap, we've so been blessed
For Pappaw Miles, we think you're the best!
