Anybody Want a peanut

Anyone who knows Princess Bride (AKA The Best Movie of all Time) knows that the title of this post is the second part of the title of my last post which means (drumroll please) MORE RANDOM POEMS :) Here goes. . .

The Deeps

Verse 1
Give me a deeper
A deeper dread of sin
Give me a deeper
Repentance within
Help me sin to flee
And resolve in my heart
To be Thine alone
Set apart for Thee

Chorus
Plow deep in me great Lord
Break the stoney soil of my heart
Plant Thy roots of grace in me
Never to depart
Give me a deeper need of Thee

Verse 2
Give me a deeper
A deeper trust in Thee
Help me to lose myself
And be found in Thee
Give me a deeper
Knowledge of my King
Master, Saviour, Lord
You're everything

Verse 3
Give me a deeper
A deeper time of prayer
Give me a deeper
Faith to know You're there
Help me in Your Word
To taste sweet delight
And for Your Truth to hunger
Day and night.

Cabin Clean-up :)
(First Poem at Otyokwah)
Twas the first day of camp
At a brand new place
And there seemed to be some shock
Without drawers in the space.

So to make sure you all know
What we inspectors inspect
We thought we'd write a poem
Telling you what we expect

Dirty clothes bags should be stowed
Not hung, but under beds
Either line your shoes by the bunks
Or in a design be creative use your heads

Bags should be zipped up
And wet towels should be outside
But don't leave them out forever
Bring them in when they have dried

Your beds should all be made
That you should already know
Lights should be turned off
And garbage emptied before you go

If there's a wrapper on the floor
You should throw it away
But since vacumns are scarce
Tiny stuff won't ruin your day

And one more thing to add
A brand new rule today
In the bathrooms nothing should be left
Or it will be taken away

To get anything back from us
You'll have to beg and plead
So putting your stuff away
Will save you some trauma indeed

(The Great Mouse Caper- To the tune of We Three Kings)
The Senior boys in Cabin Red
About these guys what can be said
They left a note about their pet's weight
I should have ran then,
But I walked in their gate

A bed unmade was what I saw first
I hoped that it would be the worst
Alas these boys had torture in store
The likes of which this inspector
Had not seen before
OOOOH-OOOOOH
I looked behind that wooden board
Then yelled and ran back out the door
Those boys thought it would be a delight
To leave a dead mouse to give me a fright.

Eyes to See Your Praises

Verse 1
When I look into a sunset
Standing by the ocean shore
When I hear the waves crashing
Let me praise You more and more
In the wonders of creation
Let me see Your awesome power
Give me eye to see Your praises
And the blessings that You shower

Chorus
Give me eyes to see
All You do for me
Give me lips to sing Your praise
Let me delight in You
Live my life for You
Glorify You all my days
All my days

Verse 2
When I was against You
Lord You chose to break my heart
You sent Your Son to sacrifice
Forgiveness to impart
In the mercy of redemption
Let me see Your loving hand
Give me eyes to see Your praises
Be the Rock on which I stand

Verse 3
On the days when I am weary
Lord You give me peace and rest
When I don't understand it
You're still doing what is best
And in my storms and struggles
Let me see Your sovereignty
Give me eyes to see Your praises
And a heart that trusts in Thee

Verse 4
When I gaze into Your glory
No more sin to cloud my view
When I stand there in Your presence
Fill my voice with praises new
And in the realms of heaven
Let me see You face to face
Give me eyes to see Your praises
Let me revel in Your Grace
