Do I have the confidence to call it? 
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Something is going to happen in round three

People don't understand the confidence to call something in the future 
Even if that something calls for a suture

Where does my confidence lie 
In this world that is so sly

If we hear the word of God and have Faith in His Son Jesus 
Our confidence will shine every time someone see us

Amazing Grace I am heaven bound
How do I know because of the confidence I have found

You have to leave your comfort zone
To continue to March on. 

You can only climb the ladder by reaching for the rung above 
Always have your eye on Him, searching for His Love

There is no end to the climb here on earth
Gravity will only leave us at our rebirth

Until then, putting one foot in front of the other
We keep sharing God's Love with one another

Whatever you do, see it through 
Be it big or be, it small it's for you

Never give up, never turn back
Pressing forward, staying on track

The finish line lies ahead; with strength and courage, I'll reach it on my deathbed

Eyes straight ahead on God's Son from above
The prize being that of incredible Love

Where can I go to get a good night's sleep? I'm tired and have no money, you see
Is there a place where someone cares and they will take care of me

I've heard there is such a place. I do not know where to look
Someone told me it is spoken of in the Good Book

Please, Please help me. I am fading away. I don't think I can last another day

I can see it now; it's just across the bridge
Luscious green pasture with cool running water just over the ridge

Thank you, my friend, for caring for me
Such Love, I never thought I would see

Who's keeping the night watch for you and me
Is it someone earthly or someone higher we can't see

Lay down to a peaceful rest tonight
God is holding us so very tight

Never be frightened in any way
His son Jesus cares for us each day

Do shadows of old continue to  haunt me
Do they cloud my vision so that I can’t see

Shadows disappear 
When light appears 

The shadows of my soul have all gone away
The very day Jesus came in to stay 

No sadness, just joy for me
From the day God set me free

Thank you, God, for caring for me
before time began
Thank You for sending your Son Jesus to save Man

Love, I can't understand or deserve
Only through Jesus learning to serve

Eye can't see, nor tongue can tell
Of the love of the water from your deep well 

I bow my head every day; thanking you for the many blessings You send my way

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

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
