Shake Hands Again Political Race Grace

 


[Verse 1] Don't wish ill on one You worked against And perchance he win Shake hands again If perchance you win Do not gloat about Just shake hands again Let the dust come out [Pre-Chorus] You are in, he is out Don't dance on a grave In celebration of demise That is not well played! [Chorus] Give grace, befriend Shake hands again If you lose or win Shake hands again Shake hands again If you lose or win No crown in cruelty Shake hands again [Verse 2] Even if there is but one who cries! Too, we ought never name it He got his just reward, It's self defense or murder Unless you are at war Ding dong the witch is dead! Was a song sung long ago To celebrate the end Of evil, for good to know [Pre-Chorus] ....and there was not a one who shed a tear. As it was the end of one they all had feared! [Chorus] Give grace, befriend Shake hands again If you lose or win Shake hands again Shake hands again If you win or lose No crown in cruelty Shake hands again [Bridge] Each political race Will come and go The vote's in, show grace Each run's for growth [Final Chorus] Give grace, befriend Shake hands again If you lose or win Shake hands again Shake hands again If you lose or win No crown in cruelty Shake hands again

Hold Your Peace




Hold your peace

Bite your tongue

Let it rest

Think on some 


Hold your peace

For quiet joy

Found in Christ

Put off the noise


Just listen

Be slow to speak

Feel within

His love you seek


"Peace be still.

Well done child."

He is real!

His voice is mild!


Gone the storm

He is near

For comfort

Love is here!

High Ground

[Verse 1] We are swept up In the flood waters To our knees But enjoying the adventure That frees No one sees The climbing wave Soon to knock us down Then to grab us In an undertow To drown Access comes At an increasing high cost The gain of being hardworking Becomes our loss Every struggle Trying to work things out Can be turned over to AI [Pre-Chorus] We're in trouble When we lose prayer For answers and solace And God deny Instead of being Up to our knees in adventure We need to venture To the Lord For our future Ever He is The Way, the Light, the Truth And He is the how We learn to improve [Chorus] Seek the high ground Seek the high ground Now is the time to move Warn your neighbors Warn everyone We are fast approaching The coming of the Son Seek the high ground Seek the high ground And rise up higher today Warn your neighbors Warn everyone And see in the sky What's coming our way [Verse 2] The days ahead Can sweep us away If we stay low In the rushing gray We need rise up Higher today With steady feet And steady faith What is heavy Will not stay forever What looks like loss Can still be led When the waves break We do not break If we hold to Him Ahead of us [Bridge] The climb is hard But the path is clear One step at a time We press in here Ever He is The Way, the Light, the Truth And He is the how We learn to improve [Final Chorus] Seek the high ground Seek the high ground Now is the time to move Warn your neighbors Warn everyone We are fast approaching The coming of the Son Seek the high ground Seek the high ground And rise up higher today Warn your neighbors Warn everyone And see in the sky What's coming our way



We are swept up in the flood waters to our knees,

but enjoying the adventure that frees,

no one sees the climbing wave soon to knock us down,

then to grab us in an undertow to drown.

Access comes at an increasing high cost,

the gain of being hardworking becomes our loss


Every struggle, trying to work things out

can be turned over to AI

We're in trouble when we lose prayer for answers

and solace and God deny

Instead of being up to our knees in adventure

we need to venture to the Lord for our future


Ever He is the Way, the Light, the Truth

And He is the "how". We learn to improve

Seek the high ground. Now is the time to move!

Warn your neighbors. Warn everyone

We are fast approaching the coming of the Son

The days ahead can sweep us away

We need rise up, higher today

And see in the sky what's coming our way

He is the Way FOR ME @UncleMaui1983

mmm Our Father in Heaven

I give thanks I'm alive today

And for all Thou hast given

For Thy strength to live each day


I surrender this day 

To Thee, in humility

Go before me, prepare the way

Help me see Thee before me


When the world is unkind

And fills my heart with lies

Remind me I'm ok

Covered in love today


My steps 

My decisions

Order them to Thy will

Curb doubts

Apprehensions

Thy purposes instill


Light- Show

To fill my mind

The right path, lead the way

Shadows

And confusion

Send them far away


Steady my heart

Help me to breath in love

Oh protect me from

What I can't see, thereof


For joy

Guide my thoughts, my words my actions

For peace

Free me from judgement's distractions


Open

Doors Thou would have me walk through

Close doors

That are not meant for me, too


For this and much more

I daily pray

To follow the Lord

He is the way

Rock of Honesty


 [Verse 1]

Placed in a position of power What shall ye do from hour to hour But, stand upon a rock of honesty For to step down...what's found is slippery One lie will lead to another As pride effects like no other To admit blame will not get you a pass For there's the matter of resolving the morass [Pre-Chorus] So...find safety on that rock A place to firmly walk If ever you are in doubt Hear what truth is about [Chorus] Stand upon a rock of honesty Stand upon a rock of honesty Make a lasting impression Known for your honest manner of expression [Verse 2] If ever you are in doubt Study others' morass created By the dishonest shifting about Lies, the trail, from truth deviated Keep your footing, keep your name Do not feed the drifting shame When the crowd can’t see the cracks Truth is what brings you back [Pre-Chorus] So...find safety on that rock A place to firmly walk If ever you are in doubt Hear what truth is about [Chorus] Stand upon a rock of honesty Stand upon a rock of honesty Make a lasting impression Known for your honest manner of expression [Bridge] One lie will lead to another Till the ground gives way beneath But the humble who will own it Build a stronger kind of peace [Final Chorus] Stand upon a rock of honesty Stand upon a rock of honesty Make a lasting impression Known for your honest manner of expression Stand upon a rock of honesty Stand upon a rock of honesty Lies, the trail, from truth deviated Stand upon a rock of honesty

'Stand on the rock of honesty,'

A Moral People


 How are we to survive

Save through the divine

As His moral people

We can ward off evil


Freedom isn't free

Sin's our enemy

To be sovereign

We have to self-govern

Virtuously


Our Constitution was signed

By those who saw it as divine

Accountable to God

As a nation ruled by law


His commandments

Self- government

Freedom isn't free

It's framed morally


These were their thoughts

May they be ours too

For this they fought

Strengthened by God, to do

Happiness, ours to pursue
