As A Swarm - (by Tom Balistreri)
Temptations come as a swarm.
They promise joy but cause one harm.
Resist the price one can’t afford.
Turn in prayer to the Lord.

Not Your Home - (by Tom Balistreri)
If you feel,
you don’t belong,
then know that feeling,

The Center Of My Life - (By Tom Balistreri)
Lord,
You're the center
of my life.
Your direct my path,
and show me the light.
You guide me through,
the dark of night.
You take what's left,
and make it right.
My desire,
with each new day,
is to raise my hands,
and give You praise.
Lord,
You're wonderful,
my God and King.
You are all I need,
my everything.
You're the center
of my life.
Your direct my path,
and show me the light.
You guide me through,
the dark of night.
You take what's left,
and make it right.
My desire,
with each new day,
is to raise my hands,
and give You praise.
Lord,
You're wonderful,
my God and King.
You are all I need,
my everything.

Fragrant - (By Tom Balistreri)
Like a sweet perfume
is a life in Christ,

Every Nuance - (by Tom Balistreri)
Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Every thought and nuance,
is observed by the Lord.
No deed is unknown,
righteous or sin.
He forgives the repentant,
and cleans souls within.

The Flower Field - (By Tom Balistreri)
I beheld a field of flowers,
growing wild in the spring.
They spread in sunlit hours.
Lifting their scent as if to sing.
I passed again on the morrow.
The flower field was gone.
In it's place was a cut
and manicured green lawn.

Gone South - (By Tom Balistreri)
Lord guide my heart.
Lord guide my mouth.
Give me strength,

Help me find the path.
Show me the way.
Awaken my faith,
for a new day.
Lord guide my mouth.
Give me strength,
when life goes south.
Help me find the path.
Show me the way.
Awaken my faith,
for a new day.
