(There really is such a place--
compare to W.G. Grinders)
WITH THE WORLD’S GREATEST VIEW
OF MOUNTAIN AND SHORE
WANT NO MORE
AT THE PERFECT PRICE

INFINITE COST FOR THE BAKER

LOVE MUST BE FREE
COME WITH ME
We must choose
He chose us
TO TASTE AND SEE
IT’S GOOD

HIS PERFECT SCAR
IT’S ON HIS HAND
IT’S ON HIS SIDE TOO
MADE FOR YOU

THE MENU IS AMAZING [Ps. 23:5]
IN PERFECT SCRIPT
WHAT’S IN A NAME
LET’S PLAY A WORD GAME

AND THE MUSIC THAT’S PLAYING
IT’S SO AMAZING
SOME OF IT WITH RHYME
AND JUST THE RIGHT BEAT
HE IS SINGING FOR YOU [Zeph. 3:17]

HEAR THE SOUND
IT’S ALL AROUND
THE WORLD’S A STAGE
WE EACH PLAY A PART [Eph. 2:10]

READ THE LINES
READ BETWEEN THE LINES
DRINK OF THE SMOOTHIE
INCREDIBLY GROOVY [Heb. 12:2]

THE DAM IS FULL
BUT DON’T BE A FOOL [I Cor. 10:13]
IT WON’T BREAK
IT’S VERY WELL CRAFTED
LET TEARS COME SLOWLY
AND POWER’S TO TAKE
SO INCREDIBLY GREAT

AND THE ECHO, SUCH AN ECHO
DID YOU HEAR IT ? [Jn.10:4,27]
LET’S BOUNCE
DOWN TO THE CANYON [Ps. 23:4]

LOOK AT THE WALLS
IN PERFECT SCRIPT
JUST THE RIGHT TYPE
SOME WRITTEN BY FIRE
SOME BY GOD’S ROUTER [Jn. 12:18]
DID THE CHIPS GET LOST, AT WHAT COST
WELL WORTH THE WAIT
NOT A WORD OUT OF PLACE

NOT JUST A COUPLE [Is.55:1]
DRINK TILL WEE’RE DRUNK [Acts 2:13]
WHAT A SPELL
CAN’T EVEN SPELL RIGHT NOW

THE PORTIONS ARE FILLING
NO WASTE
TAKE YOUR TIME, GO SLOW
YOU WILL BE SATISFIED
THAT’S A MEAL TO DIE FOR!
[Ps. 34:8; I Pet. 2:3; Jn. 12:24]

IT’S YOUR CHOICE [v.2]
USE YOUR VOICE [Eph. 5:19]
PREACH TO YOURSELF! [Ezek.36-37]
YOUR EARS ARE OPENING—UNPLUGGING [--?]
DOWN FROM THE HEIGHTS
NO MORE LUGGIN’ THAT PACK[Gal.6:2,14]
OFF YOUR BACK—ON HIS
YOU’LL SEE!
PERFECT VIEW, BIRD’S EYE, IN FACT
WAS THAT CROSS
JUST FOR YOU—YES, AND FOR ME TOO
AND YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU…

HEAR THE BIRDS SINGING
PERFECTLY IN TUNE
JUST FOR THAT ADDED TOUCH

THE TABLE’S ALL SET [Jn. 12:2]
LOOK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
WHAT A SIGHT
COMPLETELY BALANCED
SOME BITTER, SOME SWEET
PERFECT PAIN
PERFECT DELIGHT

NOW IT’S GOIN’ ROUND AND ROUND
KEEP OUR EYES ON THE CENTER [Nu. 21:9]
IT’S BETTER THAT WAY
WE CAN STILL WALK STRAIGHT LATER

REMEMBER, HE’S GOT YOUR NUMBER [Mt. 10:30]
A PERFECT NUMBER
YOU HEARD THE CALL [Jn.1:12]
THE ANSWER WAS YES
KEEP COMING BACK
LIKE A BUFFET
I’LL REPEAT………………………………
TO BE CONTINUED………………………
STEWART & COMPANY
BAND OF “OH BROTHER” [Buena Vista Pictures, 2000]
IN CD OR TAPE
EIGHT TRACKS ALLLLL GONE (LONG AGO)—DAM! DINER

LIKE SARAH SAYS—“I HAVE A MOVIE”
SHE’S PERFECTLY RIGHT!
WE EACH HAVE A PART
HE’S COMPOSED FROM THE START! [Eph. 2:10, Ps. 139]

FIRST VERSION WAS LOST
SO WE GET NEW STARTS [2Cor. 5:17]
YOU NOW KNOW THE SCORE
KEEP COMING FOR MORE

BUT FOR NOW AM TIRED
LATER, LATTER
WHAT—DOES IT MATTER?????
WE’VE ETERNITY TO TO SEE IT AGAIN [Jn. 11:26]
I STUTTER I KNOW [Isa. 28:11]
BUT HIS SPEECH IS PERFECT
YOU’LL SEE IT’S SO

THIS PART OF THE FRUIT OF THE OASIS WE FOUND [?]
REMEMBER THE TRAIN RIDE?
DID IT GO ROUND IN CIRCLES
OR WILL IT EVER END?

ARE WE THERE YET?
NOT QUITE
BUT LOOK AHEAD
At the end of this tunnel—might have to squint
I THINK—I’M SURE, I SEE A WHITE LIGHT [2 Pet.1: ]
THEN WE’RE DONE
BUT ONLY BEGUN
WOW THIS COASTER WAS FUN—AFTER ALL’S
SAID AND DONE?

SLEEP ON IT
DREAM
WOW! “WHAT SIGHTS” YOU’LL EXCLAIM!
NEVER THE SAME
GAME—IS IT ALL A GAME
NO, SOME OF IT IS
SOME IS A FIGHT
STILL SEE THAT LIGHT ?

POEMS —WHY NOT ?
SOME WITH RHYMES
SOME WITH COUPLETS
OCCASIONALLY SEXTUPLETS

(THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER ALWAYS KNOWS JUST WHAT TO DELIVER—I THINK THIS MAY BE COMPLETED—ALMOST)—GOTTA GO EAT AGAIN
LIFE IS SO DAM DAILY!
AND CAN’T THINK OF LINE 4

JUST GOT BACK FROM A TRIP
NOT WITHOUT TROUBLE
WAS THE TRIP DOUBLE
MAYBE I’M TRIPPIN’?

BEEN FOR A LONG TIME…….
JACOB AND ME
WRESTLING SPELLS TROUBLE
JUST BORROWED THE SORROW

BUT IT WAS MORE THAN WORTH IT ALL

NOT SURE WHERE THIS VERSE GOES
FEELING CONFLICTED
SCRATCHING OUR HEADS
IS LIFE FOR REAL? WHAT ABOUT THE GREATFUL DEAD?

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT
GO ASK ALFIE
OR MAYBE RALPHIE
OR JANE-- STILL THE SAME, NO DOUBT

SAME OLD--SAME OLD ?
NO!
I FEEL A FISH BITE
BACK AT THE LAKE
ALL WE CAN TAKE

PLENTY—USE THE BIG DIPPER
IT’S ON THE NORTH STAR
DID I SEE A CROSS?
WAS IT FOR REAL?
WHY WAS THAT HAND THERE?
SOMETIMES LIFE STINKS

IT WAS HIS
BUT WE SHARE THE PAIN
AND GAIN
LOOK UP AGAIN

ARE THOSE THE ROCKIES?
LOOKING DOWN FROM THE PLANE
THINK I SEE SNOW
MAYBE JOHN DENVER WAS RIGHT
WHAT A SIGHT, SO HIGH

WHAT A QUESTION
LOTS OF QUESTIONS
SOME ANSWERS NOW
SOME NOT TILL LATER

SOME VERSES FREE
SOME VERSES BOUND
SEE THE PICTURE
IT’S IN THE PARK

IT’S GETTING DARK
DO I HEAR A DOG BARK
DO I FEEL HIM BITING
NOT SURE OF THE SIGHTING
(TO BE CONTINUED…)

Life is always beautiful
When you wake up on the “right side of the grass”

But the joy and delight waiting for us on the other side
Nothing on this earth can surpass
