Monster in my
Closet
There is a monster in my closet
I don't know what to do
It is a big ugly monster that won't go away
I play with it once or twice a day
There is a monster in my closet
I told it to leave
Yet I lock it in
I really believe
He is here to stay
There is a monster in my closet
That no one knows but me
I keep it safe
So no one will see
That there is a monster in my closet
That I love to hate
It torments me
And I play with it
Soon I think it will kill me
There is a monster in my closet
That I always kick out
But he stays
Worried that it will be found out
There is a monster in my closet
And I like his company
Yet all he does is hurt me
I have a monster in my closet
And I am afraid it is killing me
I want it gone
So I can live and be free
There is a monster in my closet
Who likes my attention
It doesn't love me
There is a monster in my closet
Will he forever stay
I need him to leave
So Jesus can lead the way
Would You?
Would you? I don't know if I would, I'd like to believe
so, The chances are I would. But I will never know unless the situation comes. I hope that you would, I know you will because
I see you do. I hope we all would if we must. If we had to I hope we would take the honor, the joy, the privillage. If we
haven't already why are we calling ourselves that, did you I can tell you did, Yes you are I can see it in you. Can you see
it in me? I want you all to see it. do you? Tell me is it really there? Yes, yes I believe it is, yes I know we would I hope
they do, but I know we will if we have to. Why? Well because it was done for us it seems we would do it to but if we don't
do it then we. . . well. . .uh. . . we how can I tell you this? If we don't then we aren't well . . .we can't really.
. . call ourselves. . . well you know. . . .. . we can't call our selves Christians if we aren't willing to give all to Jesus,
yes even our lives if we have to.
When I was a Boy
When I was a boy
I was sent to Sunday school
I learned about young David
In the hand of God a mighty tool
The youngest of all his brothers
Yet God still anointed him king
The small shepherd boy
Killed Goliath with a rock and sling
David then took the head of Goliath
With the blade of the Giant's own sword
David didn't boast
The battle was not his but the Lord's
When I was a boy
The bible I was taught
Of all the great battles one I never forgot
It's Gideon's three hundred, and how they fought;
With torches, pots, and trumpets
The enemy fell by the blades of there own swords
With these numbers none could deny
That the battle was not there's but the Lord's
When I was a boy
There's a story I was told
Shadrach, Meshack, and Abed-nego
These three were pretty bold
They refused to bow to the image of the king
This choice could've left 'em burned
If you know what I mean.
In the end there was no smell of flame;
For a forth man appeared and the fire he did tame
Then to the God of these three the king soon did turn
Because Shadrach, Meshack, and Abed-nego didn't receive
a burn
These three men fought bold
Yet not with swords
As other stories told
For they knew that the battle was the Lord's
When I was a boy
I remember all the great things I heard
The story of Daniel
He could have been considered a nerd
Hanging with the in- crowd Daniel would never be
Three times a day, down on bending knee
He prayed to God where all could see
And one day declared the king
"Any man who prays to any other but me
"Will be thrown to the lions, this is my dacree!"
And This
story unravels as so
Daniel never stopped praying
And it was to the lion's he would go
But in the Lord Daniel's trust was put
And the mouths of the lions were soon shut
Then the nation turned to the lord
Showing the battle was not Daniel's but the Lord's
When I was a boy
I dreamed of being a hero
just as David and Abed-nego
I am older now and this desire never died
I want to make a difference
To be able to say I tried
Just like Daniel and Gideon
Had there hour in the sun
I want to shine my light
And Glorify the son
To be the next giant killing David
Or like the bold Shadrach, Meshack, and Abed-nego
Any of these I would like to be
Then Jesus revealed
He has a new plan that is special, just for me
And he whispered in my ear
"My child don't you worry
"Don't you fret,
"For I have equipped you for this battle
"Just realize it belongs to me the Lord of lords"
