Closeup portrait of proud man pointing finger himself. Business people concept, richly and success. Indoor, studio shot on light blue background
Some people like to show no matter where they go
Don't make sense to me that dressing up for class will help you know
Having to do with ego, I'm pretty sure
For sticking out your chest, there is no cure
Humility seems to be the name of the game
Always putting others first, giving them the fame
It seems like that's what the Good Book says
Serving others describes what Love is
There will always be people who like to show no matter what
It's my responsibility not to strut

I have a Friend in Heaven. He means more than any Father to me
He cares for my soul continually
He goes with me every day, and He’s present every night, no matter where I stay
His Love is so Great I can’t comprehend
I can only bow down to my heavenly Friend
He’s there in times of trouble
He’s there when I’m Happy all the day
He will never forsake or leave me
Always willing to stay
He’s the Fragrance in the valley, the Light from the Evening Star
The Joy in the morning with which my burdens to share
His Loving feeling I cannot explain
I’m so thankful He chooses to remain
It’s only through His Son Jesus who gave His Life on the Cross
That I am now the devil's loss
I bow my head and pray every day
Thank you, God, for being in your family today

The last word I heard was an incredible love
Only remembering a sparkling white dove
One minute everything was cheerful and fine
The next twisted metal and the smell of slaughtered swine
Only recalling the star above my head
The faint smell of roses in the well-manicured flower bed
Absence of pain, the incredible peace of strolling through the rain
Shadows began to shift. The light grew dim.
No longer seeing or hearing Him
The sweet aroma was replaced with alcohol and iodine
Peace leaving and chills traveling up my spine
Months later, knowing what I know for sure
Receiving a little glimpse of Heaven for which there is no cure
Having only one aim in my life, telling others there is Hope without strife
Understanding Scripture unveils an entirely new meaning
After capturing a glimpse of the Holy beginning
Don't wait to clean your sinful life up
Till your spirit is leaving to drink of the cup
Thank You, God. Thank You, God, for sparing me from a seat in hell
Offering a chance to walk with Your Son Jesus, with whom my soul shall dwell

Time is running out; there is no doubt
Not being attentive, I might be without
Watching the clock doesn't seem practical
Gazing for extended periods leaves me cynical
I can't slow time down or speed it up
I'm now so nervous I've given up
I think helping others slows time down
Being in God's plan to wear His Crown

Everyone should have a song in their heart
A Song of Love that will never depart
Whistle while you work, Is a common saying
The same could be said while playing
A new song adds a new spark to your life
A feeling of Love that will bring less strife
Whenever you go or whatever you do
Always Pray God sees a new Song in you

Love one another is that you, my brother.
Love one another is a vast domain
By obeying, we will surely gain
Love seems like an easy thing to do
If you have the Love of God in you
You can only find yourself and have peace within
When you serve others after being freed from sin
God knows best. He will stand by you through the test
Whatever you do, give it to God your very best

Beautiful background – bright sunshine, light from sky, heaven
God's expanse reaches far beyond the Universe
Our human minds are unable to comprehend His Love for us
Only by Praying in His Will, we trust the many blessings in store for us
Love marches through the expanse of time
Tugging at our heartstrings to solve the rhyme
Discovering God's Son Jesus completes the circle of time

God's unchangeable plan materialized before the existence of man
The design of Love was part of the Great I Am
Not comprehending in Human Mind
The Scope of Gods Masterplan
We may only Hope His will for us
His Bequeath lingers for our trust

Who’s going to Pray for me when you're gone
Who’s going to sing your Angelic Song
I trust I can pass it on by continuing the devotion you've carried for so long
Praying for one another is the most vital tool God gave us
Using it diligently will undoubtedly bring great trust
Training others to follow the same path
Will keep us distant from God's wrath
Praying morning, noon, and night
Will bring me closer to His Light

Have I ever been a donor
Giving something to others
In my walk In life, have I stopped to help my brothers
Have I frequented the Blood Bank
to give the gift of life
That is bringing others much less physical strife
Have I shared the Blood of Christ with my friends
That they may find eternal life that will never end
The donor Bank of Gods Love
It is open to all
That through his Sons Blood, we may hear his call
Thank You, God. Thank You, God, for donating Your Love to all
