Growing old 

As we grow old, our minds start to wonder a bit
Looking for a more peaceful time, where is it

It may be long ago, it may be very near
Wherever we choose to find it, we will have no fear

No matter what the case, its only God's way of easing our pace
For God knows the best way, to prepare us for the end of the race

 Rags or Riches

Whether my body lives in rags or riches I do not care
For they are only earthly things that bring despair 

Worth more than riches is the LOVE of Our FATHER Untold 
For only LOVE will Last. It's the only thing through Death we will Hold. 

When our bodies grow old, our eyes grow dim
The Bright LIGHT of Heaven emerges from within

Beholding our Dear Saviour’s Face, we shall see
For Eternity, we have been set free 

Praising HIM Forever and Forever with the LOVE we Hold
Is Our Greatest Gift from GOD, Greater than the Purest Gold

The Majesty of HIS LOVE and GRACE cannot be imagined 
We are only set free of death from GOD’S Loving Compassion

 THE GAME

I like a good game
I don’t know why

I enjoy being on the winning team
So I don’t have to cry

The game of life is like that too
If you win you will feel good all through

There is only one way to win 
That is accept JESUS within

When all of life swirls about you
Your calmness within will suffice you

And HE will be there to rejoice in your strife
And you will win the game of life

MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE UNTO THE LORD 

The birds that sing
The trees that blow

Make a joyful noise unto the lord
If you listen, you will know


The blue sky, The rain that falls
They are praises to HIM from all

The sun that shines, The moon that glows
All come from Heaven where He bestows

So when you sit back and look at nature
Praise HIM Praise HIM every Living Creature

I’d Turn Back if I Were You 

I’d turn back if I were you
I know what your gonna have to go through 
I’d turn back if I were you

The road ahead is more than bumpy
Many pitfalls deep and wide
I’d turn back if I were you

Take heed and do not proceed
The road is too treacherous and narrow there
I’d turn back if I were you

The bridge is out and the water is deep 
The road ahead is a death trap. Don’t go to sleep
I’d turn back if I were you

If you must proceed, wait till Dawn 
Don’t ever go alone. Take a second set of eyes with you. 
I’d turn back if I were you

If you don’t heed this warning it’s up to you
You will only arrive late or not at all. 
I’d turn back if I were you. 

It’s better to be alive than dead
There are many more years ahead
Please turn back and don’t go on

NO

If there is no Heaven or no Hell
What was Man made for do tell

Do we live our lives with no finish line in sight
It would be foolish to enter a race with no prize I think

Those who know JESUS, have won the prize 
I am so thankful,  I've won before I die

Persevere 

When you are down and out
And you don’t want to shout

Look around
See who’s about

Seek your friends
They have a love for you

They will help
To make your Goal come true

Say your Prayers every day and night
God is listening to your plight

When you least expect it
God will come through 
With everything you want and more too
