Love

The physical passing of love around, in this life, nowhere can be found
Through a smile, it can travel around the world and infect the whole town 

Kindness and love are very infectious
No mask or pill can adequately protect us

Love is both blind and brilliant
Continuing in our hearts with much resilience 

Passing it on is the key to happiness 
For this truly fills a life of emptiness

Thank you, God

Thank you, God, for your Amazing Grace
Thank You, God, for sending Jesus to take my place

Thank You, God, for your Love. We can't understand
Thank you, God, for sending Jesus to pass it down to man

Thank You, God, for your everlasting care 
Thank You, God, for sending Jesus that I might share 

Thank you, God, for the boldness you entrusted to me 
The strength to tell others how they can be set free

When your down

Do you ever get down with nowhere to turn
Digging the hole deeper, the more you churn 

Life is like quicksand in a way
Finding yourself on the wrong road today

Never judge yourself when you are down
You might judge from the perspective of a clown

Wait till the cloud passes and the sun shines through
The many  bright colors God made just for you

We can’t stay in the valley all the time
The road to Paradise is a continuing climb

Climbing may be as important as the destination 
Following the right guide will guarantee us a reservation
