I don’t have a clue

Heart shape from book against peaceful sunset. Multiple exposure.
I don't have a clue what is going on.
God put me here to sing His Love song.

I don't understand why He sent His Son, Jesus, who died for a man like me.
By all rights of this sinful world, I should be flung into the depths of the deepest sea.

When His Love came to earth and was crucified for me
His Love broke the chains of sin and set me free.

The Master Carpenter

The Master Carpenter is a perfectionist in His trade
Many apprentice carpenters learn from what He has made

Carpenters can build many beautiful objects from wood here on earth 
Many hours of toil, sweat, and tears construct items of great worth

The Spiritual Master Carpenter is God's Son, Jesus
He is using His Loving skills to completely rebuild us.

Peace

From whence does peace come?  Does it come from the angel of light
It comes from Jesus, the Son of God, with all of his might. 

Piece on this world can only come from Jesus when His Love is unfurled. 
Peace on earth and goodwill to men can only come through Jesus again and again

There is no room for hatred or discontent
When Jesus Love is abundantly spent

Peace, everlasting peace, will calm my soul
When I ask Jesus to come in, making me whole

After while

After a while, everything will be alright
After a while, the night will turn to light

The Ricky Road I travel will be changed somehow 
Walking with Jesus, everything will smooth out now

After a while, peace will enter to deliver me from sin
The Joy I feel I can not explain no more sorrow, no more pain

Delivering me from this world of sorrow 
Waking with Him in Heaven tomorrow

 Art the traveling Man

Art is a traveling man. He spreads God's Love wherever he can. 
He is full of Love, Joy, and Grace, walking in God's Plan. 

Trials and troubles have come his way. 
He does not let them stay. 
He daily shares the love of God with all along his way. 

Someday his performance on this earth will end. 
The curtain call he will not be able to comprehend. 

All in heaven, standing and applauding his performance. 
The race he has won with great endurance. 

It will be  worth it all to see the Master's face
Full of God's Love, Glory, and Holy Grace.

An Angel

Ms. Martha Casey
God sent an Angel from above
Not realizing why she was sent
Caring for her family and others brought her great content

Greeting everyone with a smile no matter where she went
They all realized by whom and why she was heaven sent

As the sands of time drift as we age 
Loving memories are carried with us as we turn another page

New surroundings, new neighbors, God’s love never ends. 
He leads us down the path of many new friends 

I now feel more comfortable and content on life’s stage
I relish the curtain call with much applause and praise

Serving God

Family concept: Parents and children pray together on the cross background
I am serving God every day in every which way. 
I’m so thankful in my heart that He came to stay. 

Understanding His Glorious Love will never be explained. 
Praise God. Praise God. God’s Love can never be contained.

Love lasts through eternity sending Jesus to set me free.
I bow my head and thank him everyday for sharing his love with me.

Endurance

Fitness male running outdoors during sunset. Healthy lifestyle concept.
If you have Endurance, that's almost all you need
Having Endurance, nothing else you will have to plead 

Endurance brings Perseverance; Perseverance brings Hope
With the Devine gift of Hope, you will forever be able to cope

Have Hope in God. He’s on His Throne
Have Hope in God. He will never leave you alone

The next valley I go through, I'll keep plugging along. 
Knowing that God is with me all the day long.
