The Final Goodbye

The hospital room was chaos. The patient lay in a coma and her mother was loudly declaring “I tried to tell her what those drugs would do, that she was killing herself but she wouldn’t listen”. Others were sobbing and muttering things like if only we could have made her realize and somebody should have stopped her somehow. Then the blame game started if only you would have told us earlier one of the women directed to her sister and the other replied I had no idea it had gotten so bad..
The mother started complaining to God. “Why did you give me such bad children? I have been so good. I don’t deserve to have to go through all this”
“Shut up” the words thundered through the room. It was the husband of the dying woman and you could see the fury on his face. “Don’t you self centered idiots realize that because of all of you she had given up on life and try as she might she could no longer face your lying faces? The hypocrisy that is your standard was the one thing that wound up destroying her. She knew she was killing herself but she chose to go out in a fog so that she could appear to be happy. She knew how bad the end would be but she determined to make it as livable until she con longer had control.”
The words stunned everyone. They were true. They all knew it but this was the first they had to openly face it and no one was exempt. Heads hung low.
Suddenly there was a stirring from the bed and her eyes fluttered open. She looked directly at her husband and he took her hand. She whispered but all could hear. “Thank you for being with me all these years and protecting me from them. I only regret that I have to leave you.” He leaned down and kissed her cheek and she was gone

A Special Visit by Sonny

An Angel Came To Visit Me
By Sonny

An angel came to call on me
He stayed a little while
We talked about the recent times 
And all the time he smiled

Then he said he had to go
But first I have to say
GOD gives us gifts that we must use
Or HE takes them away

He handed me and envelop
I tried hard to decline
But he replied give thanks to GOD
It’s HIS it is not mine

He left me then and went his way
The tears started to flow
The grace of GOD so humbled me
Why me? I do not know

Needless to say I can’t explain
The timing was just great
Our last dime spent our cupboards bare
‘Twas God there’s no debate

An angel came to visit me
His mission my relief
I wonder why so many doubt
GOD give them true belief

Because I set Her Free by Sonny

Not so very long ago
My world came tumbling down
The lady that possessed my heart
I heard was fooling round

The pain rushed in and crippled me
My life just stopped that day
All the dreams I held so close
Slowly slipped away

There was a time I'd stand and fight
But now that could not be
The truth is she is gone because
I had to set her free

I journey on sad and alone 
My love has flown from me
 I sit and count the passing days
 While she is gone from me

If she returns to me again
I'm sure that it will be
Because she knows I loved enough
To set my true love free


GOD TOLD ME
by Sonny

Today I send the answers
To the questions that you've had
You asked me why you suffered
It's because I am your dad

I sent you on this journey
My people to explore
You learned to live among them
You taught what was in store

To those who first accepted
That you were like no other
It soon became apparent 
You had news about your brother

HE too was turned away from
Though HIS words were very true
And like HIM you found no favor
For the things I had you do

Where you went they did not follow
They just let you go your way
You brought not what they wanted
They cared not what you would say

Now the time is near to end it
Soon the truth they all will know
They will call for ME to love them
Still MY wrath to them I'll show

When they turned away from JESUS
There was nothing could be done
They so loved their independence
They refuse my Holy SON

Now the days of man are over
Soon the LIGHT will come to stay
The evil that now dwells there
I will wipe it all away

We shall live in joy forever
There no sin will ever be
In the mansion of Jerusalem
Eternally and free

So dear heart do not be sorrowed
You have done as I asked you
It was I who sent you to them
It was they who were not true

All I asked was preach the lessons
JESUS brought so long age
And to those who would not listen
I will not MY mercy show

Dark Times by Sonny

Where do you turn when days go black
When evil comes to sway
Are there magic words that you call out
To chase the dark away

I turn to HIM who sent me here
HE answers "Do not flee"
This soon will change all will bow down
And claim my name you see

This war can not be fought by you
The demon is dark and cold
Just call upon my Father's name
HIS spirit is brave and bold

He knows the deeds of all who live
He suffers when you cry
His spirit brought forth the love in you
I shall not let it die

I will strike down your evil foe
My promise; you shall be free
Darkness can never ruin your life
Child you belong to me

Father this panic take away
Child sit quietly by
Live your life happy along with me
There is no need to cry

The future is spread before our eyes
A vision of what will be
My words are the truth so let's be clear
In Heaven you'll be with me

My Secret by Sonny Subtitle Magic For Life

MY SECRET
by Sonny
(MAGIC FOR LIFE)

Sit and let me tell you
Of a story seldom told
Of treasures in a strange place
That man can never hold

Strange lands we never travel
Trips we can not start
Dreams we can’t unravel
Except here in our heart

A place that has no owner
You see it’s owned by all
It’s seldom ever talked about
Though large it’s very small

One day we all shall go there
When time down here is through
We’ll dance and sing with Angels
So many things to do

For now it’s just a story
Of streets all paved with gold
But it’s the greatest story
That man has ever told

A place where all have freedom
Where nothing can go wrong
No matter creed or color
It’s there we all belong

No tears there and no harsh words
Peace and tranquility
A place that calls the children
From all of history

These words I tell you quietly
I pray you won’t forget
One day you’ll tell the story
Of our little secret

Tell to all the little ones
Share with the big ones too
Swear them into secrecy
The same as I did you

And when they ask who told you
Tell them who I AM
A traveler on a journey
Just say the GREAT I AM

Once they hear the story
Their life will change you see
For they will want visit
Bring them all to me

For you, are all the treasure
Not gold that you can spend
The journey is the secret
The life without an end

Now sit with me a while
Rest here in my arm
I’ll hold you close my child
And shield you from harm

The next time that I see you
I’ll hold you by the hand
And show you through my palace
Delight you with the land

You’ll love the new adventure
Just as you did the old
And it will be my pleasure
Your heart to always hold

So worry not my child
No harm can come your way
You’ve always been my treasure
With me you’ll always stay

Go now laugh with others
Do all the things you love
Know that I am watching
So closely from above

Fear not for life’s a treasure
My child there’s more to see
And I will be there with you
For all eternity

I Know The Pain

The Pain
By
Sonny


I know the pain and sorrow
That drives a man to hell
Beware the call from the black pit
Old Satan’s evil spell

The music is so inviting
It lures you to come and play
Then spits you out like a foul taste
And steals your soul away

It smothers your inhibitions
It promises love and gold
As soon as it sucks your life out
You’re banished into the cold

It teaches you you’re unworthy
It laughs at the tears you shed
Forever to hold you captive
In the underground of the dead

Run while there’s still breath in you
Flee to the burning light
Jesus in all HIS glory
Will come to protect your flight

Never again to worry
Dear Jesus has set me free
Though I am undeserving
Messiah has died for me

Yet worry not HE is with us
Death could not keep HIM down
He sits on HIS throne in heaven
Wearing the HOLY CROWN

Never again to worry
Look what’s been done for me
Never would I have dreamed it
With JESUS eternally
