Need a Friend?

Della Smith

You find yourself feeling empty insideAnd you try to cover your pain with your prideLike the sad clown who paints a smile on his faceAnd cheers those around him, but can never eraseThe emptiness that haunts and taunts him always You’ve learned from life that you’ve got to be toughYou’ve got to be strong when the going gets roughYou’ve hardened your heart in self-defenseAnd you’re afraid you’ll be hurt if you take another chanceBut deep inside is a tender child who still longs to dance You wander through life going nowhereSometimes you get weary and just sit and stareIs there...

Innocent Blood

Della Smith

If you believe the BibleThat the word of God is trueYou know the blood of innocentsWill bring a curse on you Blood that’s not atoned forCries out from the groundFor when there is injusticeThere’s no rest until it’s found Remember back in EdenWhen the serpent was so subtle?His strategy to twist God’s wordHas caused a world of trouble! He loves to make you questionThe wisdom of God’s waysSurely YOU are wiserThan the most Ancient of Days Please consider carefullyWhat you believe or don’tHave you turned your back on TruthBecause of what YOU want? If you’re really seekingThe truth will soon...

Honor Due

Della Smith Mother's Day

Thank you Lord for mothersIn every shape and sizeYou’ve made each one beautifulAnd special in your eyes    Some of them gave birthAnd some of them weren’t ableBut the real heart of a motherIs much more than just a label It’s loving, caring, givingIt’s sacrifice and tearsIt’s training, teaching, helpingIt’s preparing for future years We’ve all been touched by mothersFor that’s part of God’s planAnd no, there are none perfectFor that’s the plight of man But mothers now we honorFor without them we’d not be hereTruly honor is due every dayNot just one day a year ~Della Smith  5/9/10 Honour...

Here to Hear

Della Smith

I knew you before you were bornI’ve never left your sideEven though you didn’t know meI was always along for the ride I’m nearer now than beforeI’m as close as your heartbeatI know every thought,I know every fearI feel every prayer that you breathe What concerns you, concerns meNot a single care is too smallI care about every detailI care about YOU most of all I’m not a God who’s far awayI’m not too busy to botherFor you are my child, and I love youI am pleased to be your Father Draw near to me, don’t be afraidI’m waiting for...

Heaven Sent?

Della Smith

I didn’t like the way it wentIt surely was improperThis couldn’t have been heaven sentThe lies, the tricks, the horror! But then I thought of JosephWho was sold out by his brothersI remembered that he sufferedSo that he could rescue others And I also thought of DanielHe didn’t have a say soHe had to live in BabylonWhen he wished he could have said NO The situation you are inMay not be your idealBut when you’re in the furnaceYou will find out God is real So don’t complain or grumbleYou’re only in a seasonTrust in the one who’s in controlIn time,...
