Poet: Yahweh Give Me Wings

Yahweh give me wings
let me fly, let me soar
while my soul and spirit sings
as you guide me to Heaven's door

Yahweh, give me wings
let me soar, let me fly
while I view your wondrous things
as I reach beyond the sky

Yahweh, give me wings
so I can see the things
you have prepared for me
if you find me worthy

Yahweh, I'll spread my wings
and soar thru the air
I'll reach for your Golden Rings
knowing that you are there

And should I reach Your Heavenly gate
standing in line to hear my fate
I pray that my sins are few
that I have committed none that are new
if so, please forgive that sin
in the name of Yashua, please let me in

Poet: Hi Mud;
Here's one I wrote in 1980

Freedom

Our forefathers knew so well
that slavery is a living hell
so they set out to be free
to make this a land of liberty

It took awhile to get it right
did it cause the North and South to fight?
even then we were not all free
on that we can all agree

We were warned to be vigilant and wise
for enemies will come in disguise
our freedom their lives have bought
beware! beware! of alien thought

We were fortunate to have such men
as Franklin, Henry and Jefferson
Washington, Lincoln, John Hancock
those of Boston at the dock

Ah, liberty! What a delicious word
they pursuit was superb
their honor was not for sale
proof of that was Nathan Hale

There were others who guided our way
against those "who are beasts of prey”
never before in the history of man
were all men free in a single land
