Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
There He lay, the undefiled, to the world a Stranger:
Such a Babe in such a place, can He be the Savior?
Ask the saved of all the race who have found His favor.
Angels sang about His birth; wise men sought and found Him;
Heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory [...]

The blood that Jesus once shed for me,
As my Redeemer, upon the tree;
The blood that setteth the pris’ner free,
Will never lose its pow’r.
Refrain
It will never lose its pow’r,
It will never lose its pow’r;
The blood that cleanses from all sin
Will never lose its pow’r.
It gives us access to God on high,
From “far off places” it brings [...]

“So Send I You”
So send I you to labor unrewarded,
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing,
So send I you to toil for me alone.
So send I you – to loneliness and longing,
With heart a-hungering for the loved and known;
Forsaking home and kindred, friend and dear one,
So send I [...]

To say what we ought,
“No” to self. – eab, 3/9/07

Stanza 1
What appears to man to be,
A defeat on rugged tree.
Was the triumph of all time and space.
He died that’s to be sure,
But arose to ever endure,
Thus saving the whole human race. – eab, 2/27/05

Young “Joe” had a dream – make that two,
They seemed to come “out of the blue.”
Though often “let down,”
He eventually found,
His leadership dreams all came true. – eab, 3/3/05 Gen 37.9

Now and then I see where prankster,

And “Main” becomes “Franklin,”
And “Franklin,” “Main” – almost.
Locals know that “Main” is “Main,”
Not turning where miss-signed,
And the turned-street labels,
Make them to humor inclined.
But to the traveler on his journey
From his home to city far,
Doesn’t know the sign is wrong
And his day can fully [...]
