What kind of person would I be, if the light of truth was shown on me? 
The choices I have made would undoubtedly be the key

I would feel extremely proud or very ashamed
for the many things in life I have claimed

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. 
Following him will bring me closer to eternal life

A two-edged sword is his bright light,
bringing to the surface the darkness of evil or the love of light 

God never changes, the light of his love remains the same. 
In choosing darkness, I  only have myself to blame. 

The truth is Jesus shed his blood to rid me of my shame
If I choose to accept him I will live eternally with him

The truth is if I choose to ignore his sacrifice
I will be confined to hell for my eternal life

Where is God? He's where He’s always been. 
The question is why have I not seen Him?

The answer is, I was not close enough to see.
Being close to him, by staying in his will is the key.

The closer you come the clearer the vision. 
You will feel his presence, that will be a given.

It was the Old Dixie Theatre when I was a just kid
Now, a Theatre of The Performing Arts
Oh, time forbid. 

Time has taken its toll on me. I can’t walk or talk and barely see. 
I lay here in my room reminiscing, often shedding a tear 

There is one thing I can do that lifts my spirits
Remembering old-fashioned tunes and their lyrics 

Constantly in prayer for all my family now
I can’t recall all their names, but God knows somehow 

I am looking forward to the day I will rest in His Peace
Until then I’ll just keep plodding along until my life doth cease

I can see the little rusty red wagon in my mind
I used to hall many different things all the time

From here to there, sometimes pulling my Teddy Bear 
It made me happy, I loved him so dear

Time has passed away, that was a long time ago
I'm very happy now just feeling the wind blow

Someone has a birthday every day
We should celebrate all the time I’d say

Lots of good food and chocolate cake
A very happy person that would make

However, that won't work 
Eating that much I'd be a jerk

Once a year is more than enough I guess
God’s original plan seems to be the very best

A true friend is worth more than gold
That's what the Good Book says I'm told

If you get off on the wrong track
A true friend will gently guide you back

A true friend will listen to you all-day
Having a genuine interest in what you say

Is there a friend that can be with you near or far
Jesus, if you ask Him, where ever you are

Jesus cares because he is love
He is sent, to help us, from His Father above

No better friend you will ever find
Bowing your head and calming your mind

The old horse-drawn stagecoach, help tame the west
Bringing men and women dressed in their Sunday best 

Not being a trip for the faint of heart
Dirt, heat and sweat from the very start

Horses pulled with all their great might, to reach the changing post
Giving all they had as a team, for the masters they loved most

Transporting passengers to and from the wild wild west
Bringing some civility by those who were surely blest

The west was changed into what it is today
Because the old  stagecoach blazed the way

As politicians come and go throughout history
Are we better or worse off, that remains the mystery

The answers will elude the inquisitive minds 
of those searching for the great conspiracy
