Encouragement 

Encourage someone today. It might make the difference between light and dark
Giving a desperate soul the much-needed Heavenly spark

A spark is all we need to put one foot in front of the other 
A spark is all we need to lend a hand to an unfortunate brother

The spark of love in our hearts, 
Rendering many races with many starts

Prayer

Does prayer change the course of the ship of life
That would depend on who is praying
And their faith in Christ

A true Prayer Warrior will pray fervently 
Bowing their head, praying very diligently 

Asking for prayer is a most faithful request
You may find yourself being supremely blest

An act of Kindness

An act of kindness can be almost anything you see
Being free and from the heart are the only credentials you need

Care enough to share the love of God
That Love can spread like the wind
Everyone that crosses our path, 
Using our minds to be very kind

Kindness starts like a ripple from a pebble
Taking God's love to a much higher level

The kinder we are, the further our reach
Sharing God’s Love forever with our speech

Death

Mortal death is the absence of earthly life
Spiritual death is the absence of God in  my spiritual life

How can I come alive and have purpose again
Invite God's Son Jesus in and smell the spring rain

Finding true Joy in God's Love
Will bring total peace from above

Live your life as you may
Inviting Jesus in is the only way

Beyond the Walls

Beyond the wall of sin, I hear His call
Beyond my selfishness within, I hear His call

Once I have invited Jesus in, there is no more wall
Through the Holy Spirit, I understand it all

Thank you, God, for blessing me, giving me the faith to hear Your call
Please, God, give me the courage to use my faith to surrender all

Human touch

The human touch means so much
God planned It that way
From the very beginning, when He formed us from clay

Putting feeling in our bodies and love in our hearts
With human touch, we can never grow far apart

Physical touch may not always be possible 
Showing loving kindness is most probable

Across the distant miles, as we share,
God’s Love will remain because we care
