God has been so good to me. His blessings never end.
As crowded as my mornings are, I ask God where can I be a friend.
He often surprises me with the answer I hear.
Following His directions, I'm happy with no fear.
A life lived for the Lord is never dull.
Serving in His will, my heart is always full.
The next time you don't know what to do, bow your head and listen. He will guide you.

I know more now than I knew then
I hope that speaks for the majority of men
Not knowing, in the beginning, makes it difficult at times
I would walk right on by the church chimes
Having little feeling for others and caring only for self
Everything was always much bigger on my shelf
Then something strange happened one day. I'm not even sure what to say
Some people say I was saved. Some people say I was baptized in the spirit
I know I did hear it
What did I hear, you might ask
The still-small voice of Jesus Christ
Knowing this now makes me Happy within
I wish I had found Him a way back when

He spoke to me today. I was not listening, I must say
Sorry to say this happened day after day
To get my attention, it took more than a whisper
Finding my true love, I gently kissed her
My heart came alive on that beautiful day
From that day on, I could hear every word he would say

For most of my life, I could not hear anything at all
It was like I was running into a thick brick wall
I had no real clue where to turn
I had a haunting feeling I might burn
Then one day, a friend saw my plight
He asked if he could offer a bit of advice
Responding, sure, why not? I have nothing to lose
It might save me at the end from the hangman's noose
He introduced me to his Friend Jesus that day
I could not believe it was such a simple thing to say
From then on, I could hear The Master say
Follow Me today. I will show you the way

From the cradle to the grave
I will continue to be very brave
He walks with me every day
Never drifting very far away
In good times and bad
He keeps me from being sad
At the top of the mountain or in the valley
His Loving Grace has kept me out of many an alley
Watching from my birth to the day I die
I'm waiting anxiously with Him to fly

I was not born this way
I was not born this way. Slumming on the street with no pay
The bottom has dropped out. No, where to go? Not knowing if I will see you the next day
Selling my body and anything else I've got to get a dime for some pot
I have nowhere to turn but to God now
He made me. Maybe He can get me out of this somehow
Well, check back in a few days. I pray he doesn't delay
If you see a person like me
don't walk on by
Please stop and pray with me before I die

If God knows everything, why does he want to hear from me
He wants to listen to my confessions of Love, don't you see
When God made me, he set me free
To test my love to see where I would be
If I did not Love Him, I would not return
A simple test for what my tender heart yearns
Wiser than me in every way
I desire to walk with Him every day

Click on me I will solve all of your problems
I will give you all you want with plenty of knowledge
Sounding way too good to be true
Will it work if I do
Being wise from within, I have to be careful who I listen too
God operates on his steadfast principles
The evil one plays on my emotion
Making me invincible
Whatever I do
I will think it through

God is so comfortable, as well as he should be
He's the one that created you and me
God fits like a comfortable pair of old blue genes
Not too tight, not too stiff feels so right it seems
Since He is with me all the time
I don't want to wear any blisters as I climb
Thank you, God, for being so close to me
Thank you for sending your son Jesus that I will live in eternity

Donkey mocking and laughing hysterically. Vector clip art illustration with simple gradients. All in a single layer.
Always keep laughing; it's good for the body and the soul
It will keep you at Christmas from getting a lump of coal
A happy man is a kind man
Always helping
everyone he can
No one can be happy all the time
However, He will continue to climb
Laugh your way to the grave
Your epitope will say, “I was Crazy Brave.”
