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

Have I taken the time to meet myself
Only rushing by with my mind on a shelf
Do I take life seriously or look at it hysterically
What is the difference between happy and sad
Is it the same as being glad or mad
Who knows what my mind will conjure
up next
Will it be something evil or something good found in my text
Do I have an inner compass that points to who knows where
Had I instead looked you in the eye and laughed, cried, or swear
The confusion seems to be the basis of my thoughts
I heard from my past what God has wrought
The answer to my curious mind
Hoping to find it before I do the crime

Only by the Loving Grace of God, do I have what I need
Praying for others that they may see Gods Grace through me
Not being the world things, our actual need
The inner peace of God should be our plea

What is the meaning of this word Sacrifice
It means giving up something I have worked for all your life
If it were easy to give up, it would be no Sacrifive
Sacrifice brings great Hope and Love to my life
With great Hope and Love the work of the Holy Spirit can begin
The start of my path with Jesus forever being one with Him

I know a young Ladie named Cassie.
She is a real Blessing for all to see.
She Loves Gymnastics and performs very well.
Her meets are almost perfect. I do tell.
Her persistence in practice shows in the light
astounding the judges with all of her might.
The calmness and poise she possesses
comes from the inner strength that she caresses.
What lies ahead, we are not to know.
The Olympic Team may be in the show.
