David Michael Moses Saving Lives

Out in greater Houston there’s
A man I’d love to meet.
As I listen to his music,
I think he’s really neat:
He writes up his own poems put
To music on his sheet,
And performs special concerts for
Both moms and little feet.

By his concerts I can tell that
He’s a joy to be around,
And videos he makes are mostly
Short, and yet profound.
Though he’s got a sense of humor,
He is not a senseless clown;
His zeal and joy and smile prove
In darkness, grace abounds!

He is so very young, his youthful
Vigor is not spent;
In him I see belovéd John
Trail Jesus where He went,
Who at that Supper, leaned on Christ
To ask Him who’d offend;
Or David with his youthful heart
Like God’s, beyond all men.

He must maintain humility
In God’s presence to thrive,
For good and wholesome virtue
He must never cease to strive.
His concerts help some mothers’ plight,
In this he’s most alive,
For he is a Priest of God
Who’s saving babies’ lives.

If we were fortunate enough
To have him in our house,
I’d introduce him promptly to
My children and my spouse.
If he could spend the eve with us,
I know he would not grouse,
Perhaps he’d bless our home, our walls
With holy water douse.

When and where I meet him,
At a concert or at church,
I know we’ll have a thing to share:
Our love for rhyming words;
How we do oft communicate
Through poems sung and heard,
And in this way, participate
In Christ, the living Word.


Two Original Songs by Father David Michael Moses

The second is a song about the Church as his wife, since he is a Priest. For more information on how to help the cause, visit his website: FatherDavidMichael.com. Enjoy the songs!
