That bite, from a white tailed spider, it sure hurt,
That rotten spider bite, the blister so absurd;
The sting, the throb, the burning as well,
That spider's poison made me crook for a spell.

I enjoyed life as a child, even though walking was a problem for me,
To play with board games, watch old movies, play hide and go see;
I remember mum would make picnic under the table each holiday,
Yeah! Those good old days were so great, that's what I say.

He rode hard, trying to get away and hide in that chariot That day,
He had his enemy after him, king Saul wanted his life, is what he'd say;
Poor David hadn't done wrong, and yet Saul was jealous you see,
So David told jonathon his friend, I have to go hide away, and he did agree.

It sure is a long way down off the bed, when you slip in an awkward way,
Then realize when think and can't walk, your chair is on the other side;

Cause a break feels it happened, as you fell hard, not just a slow slide.

So what's wrong with my heart, I said to the doctor one day,

Let's get on a train today, to travel to the seaside,

So much love, a man gives to His wife,
When he agrees to love her for the rest of his life;
He gives sweet gifts, on each special day,
Showing he'd give everything so love can stay.

What is Easter all about, you may want to ask me,
So I thought about it, and here it is, Jesus died at Calvary;
Jesus died in our place, so that we could be free,
All we need to do is ask forgiveness, and we'll live eternally.
...

Is there no hope? For me, said the lady in debt,
Talking to a counsellor, whom she had just met;
I can't help myself, I love to buy everything I see,
I just don't know how to cope, so can you help me?

Missy my pug, gets into mischief each day,
Other times, she will get funny as she does play;
Picking up things, that don't belong to her at all,
Whether its new or old, or big or if it's small.
