When all clocks stop, and there is no more time
Where will I be when I hear those golden chimes
I will keep plodding the paved road ahead
Until I take my last breath on my deathbed
Then those golden stairs I will slowly climb
That’s where I’ll be when I hear those chimes

When you get to the point in life, You are hanging on by a thread.
Make sure it's a golden one that's strong enough to pull you ahead.
So a rope of many Golden strands is strong
I am weaving my strands all day long.
A rope of gold will strengthen your way
Giving you much safety from falling away.

Hear prayers for me each day, oh Lord, I say
Without prayer, I would only be clay
Prayer from others gives spirit to my soul
Knowing You hear their prayers, makes me whole
In turn my prayers you hear from me
Giving light to others that they might see

To forecast what's ahead, I must see,
light projected from the past to the future is the key.
A storm coming across the sea,
The truth in tomorrow I can see.
The answer lies in having a friend greater than you or me.

Relationship changes over the sand of time
From when I was born till the golden stairs I climb
Whether a happy marriage or divorce
Happiness many times I tried to force
Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.
That's what makes my life worth living for
No matter what comes along in my daily life
keeping my eye on Jesus brings more
happiness and less strife
The moral of this story I do tell
looking inside and deepening the well

Worldly Peace or Heavenly Peace is the question.
Which one I choose will indicate my life’s direction
Worldly Peace is good while I am here on earth
Heavenly peace has no time and is of much greater worth
With Heavenly Peace, I can have calmness amidst any situation
With earthly peace, the situation may lead to much frustration
Earthly peace lasts only for a very short time
Many wars were fought over peace, which seems to be a crime
Worldly Peace with Heavenly Peace combined
That combination will give greater Peace of mind

Can a person take the good, bad, and ugly and survive in this life?
The answer is yes, even while in prison enduring much strife.
Not a chance in hell of ever being released.
Bobby Bostic turned his life around and found Internal Peace.
Doing the best he could with what he had.
From his inner soul, he began to feel glad.
He has a New Warden now, one that gives him tasks from above.
He is getting an education, writing books and poetry all with love.
The Judge sentenced him to over 200 years in prison.
She testified at the parole hearing,
hoping for a positive decision.
The day came when Bobby Bostic walked free,
with a joyous reunion, his family, and friends to see.
Only proves, if you do the best you can with what you've got.
In the many years to come, you will never be forgot.
God and Bobby turned the good, bad, and ugly into something Wonderful.

No matter what mission you are on
The Glory in its finish will be strong
Some missions will require the ultimate sacrifice.
No greater love hath no man than to lay down his life
Your mission may not require such sacrifice as this
Completing your mission will surely deserve a kiss
