His Touch 

His Touch is beyond our imitation being seen and felt
At the Foot of the Cross of Jesus, where we once knelt

Whatever we need, can only be found, by the gentle Touch of the Master's Hand
With the completeness to fulfill our every desire, we will come to understand

His touch only comes as our journey leads us closer to Him
Touching the hem of His garment, everlasting love comes flowing in

Prayer is the key to Heaven but Faith unlocks the Door 

If prayer is the key to Heaven and Faith unlocks the door
Is it found here on earth, or on a very distant shore 

Is there a Heaven here on this earth 
Do we have to wait till we die
Is it possible to have enough Faith to see Heaven through our soul’s eye

The answer to this question, remains deep inside you
It’s how you see JESUS and the results of what you do

How Close Is He 

How close is He, How close is He
He's much closer than I can see

How close is He, How close is He
He's closer than my breath in me

How close is He, How close is He
My Savior, now He wants to be

How close is He, How close is He
He's so close, He has set me free

How close is He, How close is He
He takes my hand so that I may see

Ho close us He, How closes he
Wherever I go He travels with me

How close is He, How close is He
He lifts me up, for his love to see

How close is He, How close is He Praise God He's leading me into Eternity

How close is he, How close is He
His glorious  face I now see

Along the Way 

When you go to work day after day
What do you think of along the way

I always thought about, what was ahead of me
Most often, there were things I could not see

Problem-solving, was the most interesting time
Relying on past experiences, to try and make a dime

Little did I rely on the Creator of Mankind
Always thinking I could solve the problems, with my own mind

Only turning to ask for help from above 
When I realized I had lost my love

An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure
If only we would ask and not try to be so mature 

Turning to GOD, is not a sign of weakness in any way
It's a sign of strength and perfection, in GOD’S Love every day

The Bridge 

Ravenel Bridge in Charleston South Carolina
Why is there a bridge and what is its true purpose
It's a structure that connects us that can't be purchased 

If there wasn't a cavern in between
No bridge would be needed or foreseen

GOD Sent HIS SON to bridge the gap between HE and Man
Over the gulf from eternity to our soul
The bridge of Love does span

Once that Love comes into our heart
We are connected to GOD never more to depart

Going Home

How do I find the best road to take me home?
The first decision to be made, I no more want to roam. 

A map to take me there would be the most important 
For surely it will make the trip much shortened 

So whether it be your physical or spiritual home
start your journey today, to see the light of home.

The warmth of GOD’S Love 

Do you know someone that has a cold heart
The more you talk, the further you grow apart

There's just one thing that will melt that old heart 
That's the warmth of GOD’S Love flowing from your own heart

It may take a while if that old heart is frozen like a block of ice
They may have it insulated and not want to get rid of it at any price

The warmth of GOD’S love can penetrate any shell
It can keep people, from going into the pits of hell

Patience is the key I must say
Always keep praying and loving anyway

When the right time comes the ice will start to melt
The warmth of his wonderful Love will be felt

A gleam will finally show in their eye 
when they realize that JESUS did not die

Now that you both have a mutual friend
You can talk and share GOD’s Love again and again

Emanuel 9 

Oh the tragedy that befell the nine of Emanuel EME Church
Wherever we look, there is no answer wherever we search

Pure evil was on the prowl that day
Crushing the hearts of many
Is it possible that forgiveness from GOD'S Love could come from any

We've seen from the ashes of destruction 
GOD'S Pure Love ascending from above

Forgiveness comes from many family and friends
Can only be understood from the Love of GOD within

For where the bright light of Love abounds
There is no room for the devil on Heavenly Ground

Worship 

What does worship mean to you
Which day do you set aside to do

Sunday is the most common day to attend church
Many people go there without worshiping much

Worship comes from the feelings of the heart
Only GOD knows the real feelings that we impart 

A Saint told me one day when I asked when you take time to pray. 
GOD watches me every second of the day. My whole life is a prayer I would say.
