Being in Control

Do I like being in control, or what
You bet I do. I like to strut

I don't want anybody telling me what to do
Guess that’s not true if the pilot’s name is sue

Well, I guess I can’t be In control all the time
That would undoubtedly be a dog-gone crime

To keep people happy, guide them to do what God what's them to
That's the way God meant it to be. That makes me happy too, you see.

Hallelujah

Hallelujah is a beautiful praise
We sing with Love all of our days

Praise His Name, Praise His Love
Glorify Him Who watches from above

Hallelujah from the beginning to end
He will be forever my dearest friend

No matter where my path may lead
He is all that I will ever need

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Praise His Name
Through his love, I will never be ashamed

Praise His Holy Name

Praise His Holy Name
Into my heart, He came

Lifting my burden of sin
Caring for me from within

I'll never be the same again
Since I asked Jesus to come in 

His Name is above all other names
You will undoubtedly feel his flame 

The Love of God he brings to me
Warms my heart for eternity

Tomorrow may never come my way
That makes today the very day

Please, Please don't turn him away
Bow your head, invite Him in today

Humor

Loving humor is always accepted, never rejected. 

A picture is worth a thousand words To our eyes. 
A good laugh will Make Millions of happy spirits arise

Laughter is mighty good medicine
Its healing power is very evident

Overlook by many ; it is so simple 
Laugher comes from God’s joy in his temple 

Whatever the time, whatever the reason
It's always better to laugh than cry in any season

My Momma went home to be with Jesus

My Momma went home to be with Jesus

I knew it was coming one day
I didn't want to talk about it or say

We are born to die. Our destiny is on God's Timeline
Knowing would interfere with the enjoyment of much fine wine

God knows the very best 
Staying close to Him will pass the test 

Mamma has gone to be with Jesus in Heaven now
Preparing the Homecoming Banquet
With no sweat from her brow

When we arrive at that table above 
Oh, the sweet aroma of his incredible love

Time will stand still; no more rushing around
Only to be surrounded by heavenly sounds

An eternity to share our love we can only imagine 
I never conceived this could ever happen

Camouflage

Am I camouflaged on my trail through life
Does anyone see me? Am I hiding with much strife

Is there anything fearful from which I hide
Is it from my feelings churning inside?

The only one I have to fear is myself.
All feelings aside, I find my true self.

Once I'm satisfied, calmness overwhelms me. 
It gives total peace that sets me free. 

Where does one find that peace and calmness in this life?
It's so simple yet far away
that I ask Jesus to come in and stay.

If Ida

If Ida done this, if Ida done that
I mighta been a rich cat

I did this and I done that
That's the reason, I'm where I'm at

Since worldly things don't last forever
What I done was the best endeavor 

I can't live in the past of done’s
My fabulous life has only begun
