What path do I find myself on today
Is it a path of righteousness or a path of decay
How do I change my path I must say
It falls my decision to change my path today
Does the path I’m on bring instant pleasure
Does my path bring happiness unmeasured
Looking ahead where will my path lead
At the end of my life will I start to plead
At the end of my life have I built a Hope for Eternity
Or have I joined the devil's fraternity
There is a fork in the road Heaven or Hell
The decisions I make will determine for eternity I will dwell
Jesus is the way the truth and the life
Putting your trust in Him He will walk with you and guide you through all strife
Joh 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

It’s not easy remembering the good times
For in my heart the toll of love chimes
When my loved one leaves I must continue on
I can’t look back or tarry too long
It’s most advantageous to move slowly I must say
Filling the void in my heart, it takes time to pray
My soul is seeking the love that has vanished
It’s most appropriate that I feel some anguish
I’m never to forget the love I cherished
focusing on the past I will surely perish
Moving ahead finding new ways to love
Will surely fill my soul making me whole
I bow my head every day Thanking God for the Love He keeps sending my way

Faith is the Key that opens the door
To a world of Love and so much more
Love Beyond my understanding I can't explain
I can only receive it and pass it on again and again
Faith in God through His Son Jesus Christ
Will bring his best to you in your life
Whether your life here on this earth
Whether your life since your Spiritual rebirth
Life here or life hereafter is yours for the asking
Be sure to do the asking before your passing
Rev 3:7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.

It's never too late to start what you've always dreamed of.
That deep desire to accomplish a task that will bring much love.
Never give up Never give up on making your dreams come true
When all is said and done it's always left up to you

Having Faith in God I will whistle while I work
Joy overflowing coming from within my heart
Having met my Savior on that dusty road one day
I can't help but follow him all along the way
Thank you, God, for sending Your Son Jesus
That knowing Him He will never leave us.

In shadows deep, where despair resides,
A broken soul with weary strides.
The world's weight upon fragile shoulders,
Lost in a sea where hope smolders.
But listen now, dear heart, take heed,
For in the darkest hour, there's a seed.
A flicker of light amidst the gloom,
A divine whisper, dispelling the tomb.
For there is no life so shattered, it seems,
That God can't heal with His sacred dreams.
With tender hands, He mends the shattered,
Stitching together what others have scattered.
He takes the fragments, so very worn
Breathes life anew, where hope was torn.
He sees the beauty in every scar,
A masterpiece formed from the shadows afar.
For every heart, no matter how broken,
Has a purpose, yet to be awoken.
In trials and pain, a story unfolds,
In the depths of despair, a purpose unfolds.
Through valleys low and mountains high,
God's grace lifts wings, ready to fly.
He gives strength to rise from the ashes,
Transforms sorrow into joyous flashes.
So let not despair be your guiding light,
Let faith be the compass in your darkest night.
For God's hand reaches out, never too late,
To restore, renew, and consecrate.
There is no life so broken or strained,
That God's love cannot wholly sustain.
In His embrace, find solace and worth,
For He is the purpose that gives life its birth
Neh 1:9 But if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.'

In the realm where faith and action intertwine,
Resides a truth, profound and divine.
For in the scripture, we find wisdom's voice,
A guiding light to help us make our choice.
"If one says, 'Go in peace, keep warm and fed,'
Yet fails to act and leaves them in their dread,
What good is spoken without deeds to bind,
The words we utter, mere echoes left behind?"
In words alone, faith's flame may briefly shine,
But actions ignite its fire, so sublime.
For faith, unaccompanied by righteous deeds,
Loses its purpose and no longer leads.
So let us not be content with empty phrases,
But let our actions shine through life's mazes.
Let compassion guide our hands, hearts, and will,
To comfort, uplift, and the voids to fill.
For faith, alive and vibrant, springs to life,
When it finds purpose in relieving strife.
Let us be doers, not just hearers alone,
Embodying love in deeds, seeds we have sown.
In acts of kindness, hope takes solid form,
Transforming lives in the midst of the storm.
By lending aid to those in desperate need,
We fulfill the scriptures, a noble creed.
So, as the pages of life continue to turn,
Let us remember the lessons we discern.
May faith and action intertwine and blend,
As we strive to love, to heal, to mend.
For faith, when rooted in actions we pursue,
Becomes a force that can renew and imbue.
With love as our guide and deeds as our art,
We embody the faith that warms every heart
Jas 2:16 If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?
Jas 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Living Life to the fullest is finding contentment in what I have
Knowing there is more to life than birthing a golden calf
Satisfaction in life comes from the inside, guided by my soul
The accumulation of worldly things in no way will make me whole
God’s Love, Mercy, and Grace make all the difference in what I do
The answer is His Son, Jesus. He sent to die for me, and you

On my journey through this old world of sin
I'm getting mighty tired. Will it ever end
Heading on Home to a restful place with no fear
The closer I get, the louder His whisper in my ear
Come on Home to rest with no end
With Joy and peace, you can't comprehend
Take my hand and remove this worldly pain
I only have God's Wonderous Glory to gain
Thank you, Jesus, for walking with me all these years
Its time to walk home with You where there are no tears
Thank you, God, for sending your Son
For this worldly race, I will have won

I've got nothing to lose but Heaven to gain.
It was all from the beginning in God’s plan.
God sent His Son Jesus to be King on earth
To be King of our souls, not King of gold and worth
Thank you, God, for sending your Son
That following Him, Heaven is won
