It’s not what I expected

It's not what I expected but more than I could ever imagine 
What I imagine, in all likelihood, will never happen 

Being open to all that comes my way
It gives the option to choose everyday

By choosing the right option, I will be well on my way 
To the grandest dream, I've ever prayed

Deeds

Deeds of donation, acts of communication, deeds of visitation 
Performing loving acts brings me closer to salvation 

Acts themselves will not save my soul. 
It will bring you closer to the one that can make me whole 

I cannot share too much of God’s Love. 
The more I share, the more I learn to care

Is caring sharing or sharing caring? 
That question answers itself. 
The more I perform these deeds, the more I understand myself.

I stand in need

I need almost everything; it seems I wait so long
I know God hears my mournful song

He knows what I'm going to ask before I sing
The reason being, He is the Holy King 

Most often, I ask for things I don't need
He never answers as much as I plead

God knows best for He can see the future
Always asking, I can't see the total picture 

Trusting in Him is the key to contentment 
For excepting this you will never have resentment

God’s Word

God's Word spans the time of all ages
Faithfull in our life of many torn pages

Solid as a rock, He will forever stand
Delivering us from the sinking sand

No matter how raging the crashing sea
His Everlasting Word anchors you and me

Through toil, strife and heartache, we share
Our Loving God is steadfast in our every care

Bowing my head and Thanking Him today
For His Unwavering Love, He has revealed each day

Change is constant

The only thing that doesn't change is change itself. 
Some for good, some for evil. I hope yours is good, always being on the top shelf

If it happens to be bad, bow your head and say Oh Lord, help me turn this situation into glad  

God can give us inner peace no matter what We’re going through. 
The only requirement is asking him too

Fanatic

The fan is short for fanatic
Whatever I am a fan of, I must say
It may be something near. It may be something far away

It may be a sports team clear across the country
It may be as close as inside me

Whatever you're a fan of, don't let it slip away
