The Train Song - (Sung Live by Tom Balistreri)

I sing here live, a song I wrote and arranged.

This is called,

"The Train Song."

Sooner or later songwriters write a train song.

As you can see I came up with a very original title. 😃

Thanks for watching and listening.

He Is More - (By Tom Balistreri)

God has saved my soul,

from disaster.

He is so much more,

than Lord and master.

He desires all to have,

a blessed end,

and makes Himself known,

as a friend.

Conquering The Giant - (By Tom Balistreri)

One's problem may seem giant,

when seen through fears eyes.

But Faith in God reduces,

the giant into a small size.

Call to Him for help,

against the giants in your life,

and He will help you conquer,

and put an end to strife.

Faithful Receiving - (A poem by Tom Balistreri)

All Your Trust - (By Tom Balistreri)

Give the Lord,

all of your trust,

with all your heart,

this you must.

For when you do,

just watch and wait,

and He will set

your paths straight.

In The Footsteps - (By Tom Balistreri)

Follow in the footsteps,

of the Lord who leads the path,

He shows the life of love,

in which one finds no wrath.

Behind the world is foolish,

ahead a life of peace,

shedding empty burdens,

and having joy increase.

Truly Successful - (By Tom Balistreri)

Many strive to be successful,

but this world will pass.

Seek first the things of God,

to have success that lasts.

The Place Of Grace - (By Tom Balistreri)

Because of shame

I hid my face.

But God's grace

took my disgrace.

Now former things

have been erased.

And I'm lifted

to a Holy place.

Fear Not - (By Tom Balistreri)

Be strong,

and courageous,

God has told us,

through the ages.

For there 's no reason,

for one to fear,

when you know,

the Lord is near.

Not Pensive - (By Tom Balistreri)

I shall not fear,

or act pensive.

When I know God's grace,

is quite extensive.

His hand guides and guards,

He cares for me,

My faith in him,

makes doubt flee.

Still Small Voice - (By Tom Balistreri)

Not in the wind,

or in the thunder,

will you hear the voice,

above all wonder.

Not in the sound,

of a raging river,

God's still small voice,

appears as a whisper.

Through The Shadow - (By Tom Balistreri)

If I walk,

through the shadow of death,

I am at peace,

the Lord gives me rest.

I don't need to fear,

nor need to see,

God protects,

and comforts me.

Faithful Vision - (By Tom Balistreri)

The view is clouded,

the path is hidden,

yet in the Lord,

I have a vision.

I trust in Him,

to guide me,

to greater ways,

I not yet see.

The Right Fight - (By Tom Balistreri)

Life can seem

and endless fight,

between desires

of dark and light.

God keeps His children

in His sight.

To gaurd and lead,

in all that's right.

Blank Heart - (By Tom Balistreri)

Like an unwritten page,

that's left blank.

So is a life,

lived without thanks.

There's an empty space,

that fills in part,

but never grows,

into a full heart.

No Retreat - (By Tom Balistreri)

I shall not quit,

nor retreat,

until my work

is complete.

Until I accomplish,

everything,

assigned to me,

by my God and King.

Never Routine - (By Tom Balistreri)

Lord it's so easy to thank You,

when things are going well,

or to humbly call upon You,

when I pass the gates of Hell.

May I never forget,

to send thanks and praise Your way,

as I live in the common,

average day to day.

It's Not Supposed To Be That Way

This is my singing of a Willie Nelson song called,

"It's Not Supposed To Be That Way."

Thank you for listening..

- Tom

I’ll Immerse Myself - (By Tom Balistreri)

To understand

what has occurred,

I shall immerse myself

in Your Word.

You direct and share

great light,

and give to all,

the Word of life.
