Hymns reaching into the depths of our soul
Connecting every fiber, making us whole

Bringing back memories of earlier times
Often reminding us of church bell chimes

Hymns anchor our faith in God
Drawing closer, daily we are awed 

The comfort from the music we feel
Bringing us peace and time to heal

Old hymns will never fade away
Entwined in us, leaving earth one day

What makes us feel guilty you might ask
It is how you feel, after doing a wrong task

You can carry the guilt and strife through the rest of your life 
It is better to cut it loose with a very sharp knife

Jesus is a two-edged sword, the Bible says
Ask Him to come in, letting the deliverance be His

The burden will be lifted, a new Joy in your heart
Feeling His Love, you will never depart

He came to me to set me free
That His Glorious Love I might See

Not deserving that he die for me
His love completely overwhelmed me

My task in life is to spread the word
That the Holy Gospel may be heard

Nothing earthly can save man from sin and strife
Only Jesus's Great Love, can give eternal life

Oh the Loving Joy that comes within,
when we open our hearts and ask Jesus in

Since it is by faith, we come to know him
We often overlook, because our sight is dim

When our hearts turn from the things of this world
His Glorious Love will slowly start to be unfurled

First Baptist Church Louisa, Ky“

Wanting the Best and giving the Best are two completely different actions. 
One turned inwardly, one outwardly, resulting in two different reactions. 

The person who wants is not concerned about his brothers. 
The person who gives has much love for others. 

Give of Your Best to The Master it is said. 
The Master gave His Best, His Son who bled. 

The Best we have is not measured by our brothers. 
It's measure by GOD, in us showing His Love to others. 

Faith is the secret to finding God’s Love. 
Caring is the yardstick He uses from above. 

The best offering we can give back to Our Loving God
is sharing His Love with others wherever we trod.

Where did I come from and where am I going? 
The exact answer is in understanding, always growing. 

In my daily life, I can say, I'm coming from here going to there. 
Beyond that realm of speculation, the answer is somewhere. 

Much confusion in my life has been surrounded by this query. 
I have found the very answer lies,
Closeness to God is the Best Theory.

Love and Kindness go a long way
In most any situation I would say

The more you give, the more you get
Never having any doubtful regrets 

Love and kindness will bring out the best in anyone 
Even when they have lost all hope in almost everyone 

The next chance you have, give all the Love and kindness you can spare 
For this will surely make this world a much better place, when we share

Gave so much Love and Kindness to
The young people employed at her store.
