In the tapestry of life, so grand and vast,
God wove each soul, a spell to cast.
With freedom of choice in every heart,
A journey of faith, from the start.
Some choose the path where God's light shines,
A road of love, divine designs.
Others may wander, lost in the night,
Swayed by shadows, out of sight.
Yet, let us be carriers of the Good,
Reaching out, as we should.
To those caught in evil's snare,
Offering hope, showing we care.
For in the grand design, it's clear to see,
Good triumphs over evil, ultimately.
A battle fought with love and grace,
Leading every lost soul to a sacred place.
So, let our actions reflect the light,
Guiding all towards what is right.
For in the end, it's love that wins,
A force that forgives, and cleanses sins.
Together, let's stand, strong and true,
With every deed, let goodness flow through.
For in the tapestry that God has spun,
Good shall prevail, when all is said and done.

Golden Gate Park a timeless place
To bask in God’s Peace and Grace
A tranquil stroll with dogs in hand
Calms the anxious soul of any man
Children playing and running all around
Recovers memories lost but now found
The smell of the blossoming flowers
Unrest in my mind Peace overpowers
All good things must come to an end.
I am confident this will happen again.

In Savannah's streets I wandered slow,
Past a church in decay, where dim lights glow.
Through the window's pane, a hymn did start,
A funeral's lament touched my heart.
Sympathy awakened, wonder took its hold,
In a negro pew, the tale unfolds.
Young couples weeping, sorrow wild,
On the altar lay a coffin, a sorrowful child.
Rows of elders, a preacher's grand stance,
At a wooden desk, in a solemn trance.
"Don't be weepin'," he kindly said,
For the child has run where angels tread.
He's doing fine, appreciates your love,
But the Father above calls from realms above.
Not by miles did He give the boy,
Just lent some sunshine, a fleeting joy.
Let your hearts grow, with love so deep,
Till silver tears in your eyes do weep.
Poor mourners, let Jesus's peace abide,
No need for criticism, in Him, confide.
For comforts given, can be taken away,
Praise the Lord in glory, let us pray.
In the large house above, the child is kept,
Rest in peace, dear ones, as your hearts accept.

Steal Away - Lyrics
Red Foley
Can I win the race in this world of sin
That would depend on the race I’m in
Am I in the race for all earthly things
And immediate gratification it brings
All these things shall pass one day
Leaving this earth forever to stay
Racing for Eternal Life, there is only One Way
Believing and accepting God’s Son Jesus today
Then I have won the race for eternity to live
With the Master, because of the Love, He did Give

Keep on keeping on. One foot in front of the other.
Through faith in God you will make it my brother
No matter where you find yourself in this old world
Faith will protect you from the darts being hurled
Put on the Armor of God that you may be protected
From the devils demented thoughts of rejection
Jesus will walk with you through the flames of fire in your life
Not having a burned hair on your head
Dividing good from evil like a sharp knife

What is it I need? Everything that needs to be.
Everything that my life and heart desires for me.
Is there something out there that will fulfill all my desires?
Always looking for the Faith and hope my soul requires.
It is all wrapped up into one name I must say.
I found it in the Name of Jesus when I begun to pray.

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

Where does the honest truth lie
Will I find the answer before I die
The truth may be under the ground
If someone has died before they could expound
It's easy to find the truth on both sides
The absolute truth in the middle seems to hide
The unequivocal truth in the future will rear its head
It could very well be after we’re dead

Listening is the most important thing I can do
By listening, I'm showing others they are important too.
Listening to others will give them great respect for you
Listening to God, you will soon understand His will to do
There's a real art to listening, I must say
With proper listening, a friend will never be far away

I don't know much about the Bible I see a lot about Jesus
I've found Him down by the creek where he takes time to visit us
A friend of mine showing the way
I can't thank him enough today
The Love that came over me, there are not enough words that I can say
Once Jesus came into my heart reading the Bible came easy for me
There was something inside that made the scriptures clear to see
Thank You, God, for making me and sending your Son Jesus to set me free
