Do I have a resting place?
A quiet place that will bring me grace
whether physical or spiritual rest.
I need both to be truly blest.
By putting my trust in The Will of God
Attaining peace before I rest under the sod
No matter where I go or where I stay
Peaceful rest will follow me all the way
Thank You, God. Thank You, God, for your promise of rest every day

It's how you look at life that changes many things
Dependent upon the tune of your heartstrings
We can look for the good or settle for the bad
One will make you glad the other will make you sad
If your soul is calm, your mind will be too
Calming your soul is left up to you
The Book of Truth says by trusting in Jesus; He will bring Peace and Love
That is the answer that would fit like a glove

Dr. Charles Stanley is a man chosen by God.
Given Wisdom from Heaven to pass it on
Following God’s Will his whole life through
Praising God in everything He would do
When the time came for Charles to go home
All of Heaven instructed to Stand at Attention before God's Throne
Glorious Scenes we cannot understand
Welcomed Charles Stanely to His Promised Land
Never is too late to make my reservation there
I bow my head and surrender my soul to Jesus' Care

Working hard is all that is asked of you
The God of your work will come through
Working hard in whatever you do
The God of the universe will match you
No one will understand why everything works for you
It's all because you put 110 percent into whatever you do

I have a Friend in Heaven. He means more than any Father to me
He cares for my soul continually
He goes with me every day, and He’s present every night, no matter where I stay
His Love is so Great I can’t comprehend
I can only bow down to my heavenly Friend
He’s there in times of trouble
He’s there when I’m Happy all the day
He will never forsake or leave me
Always willing to stay
He’s the Fragrance in the valley, the Light from the Evening Star
The Joy in the morning with which my burdens to share
His Loving feeling I cannot explain
I’m so thankful He chooses to remain
It’s only through His Son Jesus who gave His Life on the Cross
That I am now the devil's loss
I bow my head and pray every day
Thank you, God, for being in your family today

The last word I heard was an incredible love
Only remembering a sparkling white dove
One minute everything was cheerful and fine
The next twisted metal and the smell of slaughtered swine
Only recalling the star above my head
The faint smell of roses in the well-manicured flower bed
Absence of pain, the incredible peace of strolling through the rain
Shadows began to shift. The light grew dim.
No longer seeing or hearing Him
The sweet aroma was replaced with alcohol and iodine
Peace leaving and chills traveling up my spine
Months later, knowing what I know for sure
Receiving a little glimpse of Heaven for which there is no cure
Having only one aim in my life, telling others there is Hope without strife
Understanding Scripture unveils an entirely new meaning
After capturing a glimpse of the Holy beginning
Don't wait to clean your sinful life up
Till your spirit is leaving to drink of the cup
Thank You, God. Thank You, God, for sparing me from a seat in hell
Offering a chance to walk with Your Son Jesus, with whom my soul shall dwell

Time is running out; there is no doubt
Not being attentive, I might be without
Watching the clock doesn't seem practical
Gazing for extended periods leaves me cynical
I can't slow time down or speed it up
I'm now so nervous I've given up
I think helping others slows time down
Being in God's plan to wear His Crown

Everyone should have a song in their heart
A Song of Love that will never depart
Whistle while you work, Is a common saying
The same could be said while playing
A new song adds a new spark to your life
A feeling of Love that will bring less strife
Whenever you go or whatever you do
Always Pray God sees a new Song in you

Love one another is that you, my brother.
Love one another is a vast domain
By obeying, we will surely gain
Love seems like an easy thing to do
If you have the Love of God in you
You can only find yourself and have peace within
When you serve others after being freed from sin
God knows best. He will stand by you through the test
Whatever you do, give it to God your very best

Beautiful background – bright sunshine, light from sky, heaven
God's expanse reaches far beyond the Universe
Our human minds are unable to comprehend His Love for us
Only by Praying in His Will, we trust the many blessings in store for us
Love marches through the expanse of time
Tugging at our heartstrings to solve the rhyme
Discovering God's Son Jesus completes the circle of time
