What is it I need? Everything that needs to be.
Everything that my life and heart desires for me.
Is there something out there that will fulfill all my desires?
Always looking for the Faith and hope my soul requires.
It is all wrapped up into one name I must say.
I found it in the Name of Jesus when I begun to pray.

In life's grand tapestry, we weave our deeds,
Seeking purpose, chasing dreams, and planting seeds.
Accomplishments and triumphs, we may amass,
But when the final moment dawns, we see, alas,
The greatest story ever told, in humble grace,
Of Jesus, who suffered and rose, His saving embrace.
For nothing in this world, no laurels we've won,
Can compare to the gift of God's beloved Son.
He bore our burdens, our sins, and our strife,
Offered redemption, the promise of eternal life.
In the grandest symphony of history, we find our place,
Through Jesus Christ, God's love and saving grace.
So let us, in our communities, with hearts unfurled,
Share the greatest gift, the hope of the world.
In our circle of friends, in our own special way,
Spread the message of salvation, day by day.

Where there’s a Will there’s a way
That’s what I’ve heard people say
Finding my will is difficult most days
Leaving me lost in a dense foggy haze
Clearing my mind and calming my soul
Will lead in the direction of self control
At last I have found my Will I must say
Just over the horizon I will find my way

Oh Lord, let my heart's fire blaze,
For Your love, my soul does raise.
In Your light, I seek to learn,
To cleanse my heart, for You I yearn.
Replace my guile and frailties, I pray,
With love, mercy, and guidance each day.
By the Holy Spirit, let me be led,
To walk the path Your word has spread.
In this burning heart, a fervent desire,
To be closer to You, to aim even higher.
With each beat, let Your presence ignite,
A love that shines forever bright.

Public transportation bus in New York in Manhattan, New York
Which bus do I find myself on these days
Is it a bus of understanding a bus of Praise
The old bus picks me up every morning
To take me to my destination
After a day of hard work I board returning home with no hesitation
It’s not the bus that makes my life it’s what’s in my heart that brings love or strife
The old bus just takes me where I need to go
It is left up to me to find what my heart should know

Couple hikers celebrating success in sunset mountains, accomplish with arms up outstretched. Young man and woman on rocky mountain range looking at beautiful inspirational landscape view, Gran Canaria Canary Islands.
Come with me on my journey I pray
As I stroll down life’s pathway today
Around each winding turn and curve
We will discover our unexpected love
The distress of climbing up the steep mountain
Reaching the plateau discovering an overflowing fountain
It was worth the pain to ascend to the summit
To view a brilliant sparkling speeding commet
Faith leads us from one mountain top to another
Leaving the trials in the valleys of my brother
Come to that yonder hill we see
To forever spend a life in eternity

Loving Him more and more every day
Shining Glory on my path all the way
The more I love, the more I see
The more that is revealed to me
His Loving Grace shines on my face
Increasing my faith every step I take
There is no end to His Power within
When I wholly dedicate my life to Him

In the vast expanse of cosmic grace,
I'm but a speck in this wondrous place.
He, the universe's eternal youth,
The embodiment of purest truth.
I follow in awe, with humbled heart,
As He weaves His art, a celestial chart.
He leaves a trail of His radiant light,
For my fragile soul, a guiding sight.
I tread lightly on this sacred ground,
In His presence, a treasure I've found.
For in His wake, a glimpse I spy,
Of the divine, as He passes by.
Oh, how fortunate, this path I share,
With the One whose love is beyond compare.
I'm just a speck, He's everything, it's true,
Yet He reveals His beauty for me and you.

When winter comes and its bitter cold outside
Not to worry or fret; I will soon be satisfied
Wait, wait, glorious spring is on the way
I will have ample time to frolic and play
It's Springtime somewhere; the feeling is in the air
It's Springtime somewhere. Thank God its almost here
As I patiently wait, my bones can feel the excitement so near
With the signs of Spring, budding flowers bring great cheer
No matter where I am or the feelings I have, it’s Springtime somewhere
Thanking My God every precious day, there is a new feeling in the air when I pray.

911 a horrific day I will never forget
Thousands that day their Maker they met
Everyone was doing just what they were supposed to do
Then tragedy struck terror in the hearts of me, and you
Nowhere to turn, my heart did burn
Turning to TV, seeing what I could learn
Taking a deep breath and bowing my head
Dear God, bless the families of the fateful dead
My memories fly back to that disastrous day
Causing me to pause, bow my head and pray
