A Marathon - (By Tom Balistreri)

We run the race

and carry on.

Not a sprint

but a marathon.

We try our best

for time to tell.

That in the end

we finish well.

Whether Martyr Or Blessed - (By Tom Balistreri)

Thy presence Lord

is always there.

Whether one is blessed

or martyr.

I cling to thee.

In faith I must.

Giving you my love,

and unwavering trust.

Autonomy Of Help - (By Tom Balistreri)

One desires

autonomy,

to live a life,

that is free.

But life in Christ,

makes one understand,

one must not separate,

from helping man.

If You Could Read My Mind - (Sung by Tom Balistreri)

This is my singing of the classic Gordon Lightfoot song,

A Timely Word - (By Tom Balistreri)

A good word is timely,

and pleasant to the soul.

It binds spiritual wounds,

and begins to make one whole.

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.

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.

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.

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..
