Please excuse the mess while I revamp my website!

Pina Coladas and the Pearly Gates
My groovy girlfriends and I attempt to uncork the truth concerning Christians and alcohol consumption in the fourth book of our Powder Room Series, "Pina Coladas and the Pearly Gates," in our usual bubbly way. With our hearts on our sleeves, we mine the depths of the Bible, examine historical data and stats, and search our hearts, consciences, experiences, victories and regrets for the answer to: "Is it OK for Christians to drink?" This is an excellent book for group study! Pina Coladas and the Pearly Gates is available in bookstores and in online bookstores now. If you order any book in the Powder Room Series, please send me a copy of the receipt, and I'll send you an autographed plate for each book you order.

Lyrics Copyright S. (Shae) A. Cooke, 2005

V.1

Step, step aside,
step aside your tattered life,
Trust me with your pain and sadness
I'll make everything alright.

Through the wear-and-tear of heartache,
worn-out patches of your dreams,
I will mend your brokenness--
I'll shine right through the seams.

CHORUS

The more holes and tears (pronounced tares) you give Me
The more My light shines through
Hold up the fabric of your life
Until there's more of Me than you.

. . . Behold I'll make all things brand new.

V.2

Just trust Me, trust Me
Trust Me with your threadbare life,
Hold it up for Me to see,
so that You can see My light.

Give Me all the random pieces,
Don't just give a few,
Then turn the patches toward the light
and my Love will shine right through.

CHORUS

V. 3

I know, I know,
I know you've tried to overcome,
Surrender everything to me,
I'll lead you to the Son.

You won't fall into pieces,
cause I AM your Golden Thread,
In this crazy quilt existence,
lift it up to Me instead.

CHORUS

V.4

One day soon I'll come again
and trade your old rags for a robe
No more holes, and no more tears,
Pure white, lined with gold.

I'll cloak you in perfection
You'll be my bride of purity
All because you offered up
and gave your heart to Me.

BRIDGE

Hold it to the light,
the fabric of your life
I'll shine through,
my love on you
'Cause I'm comin' back for you

CHORUS

TAG & FADE

In this crazy quilt existence
They'll be more of Me than you

Give me the fabric of your life,
Behold I'll make things new

?Cause I'm comin' back for you
Then I'll make this world brand new
