Sticking with it night and day
Things don't always go my way

Sticktoitnivess and perseverance is the answer I must say

Never give up never give up you'll be a winner at the end of the day

I was put here for a reason 

My life is but a reason only known to God
Reveling more and more every day, I trod

My life is but a mystery for only God, and I to see
Walking with Him makes the answer clearer to me

Thank you, God, for Your Creation and including me
Spreading The Good News of Jesus for others to see

I have found my reason, Thank You for Setting Me Free

The very best and worst of humankind  
seem to collide at the identical time. 

Where there is a horrible affliction
Good rushes in to bring protection

When grief overtakes us, and we begin to cry
Friends walk with us, wiping tears from our eye 

As we slowly move along the timeline of our life
Looking back, seeing the meaning of our strife

All the threads in God's ultimate plan
Sewn together, completing every man

Ultimately, our very best is stitched by our very worst
Completing our character that our souls may not thirst

Where the winds blow, I seem to drift along
Not giving a thought, always singing a song

Making the best wherever I might land
On the plains or a sea by the sand 

Happiness comes from my heart within 
Not from surroundings I find myself in

We are born to die physically in this world of sin
Only for my spirit to live eternal by inviting Jesus in

As my body grows weak and weary, my spirit grows eternally strong
I bow my head and Praise Him forever and forever, all day long

Let Thy Holy Spirit, pure and free,
Dwell in me, a temple, let it be.
A sanctuary, a haven for grace,
In Your presence, I find my rightful place.

Guide my steps through darkness and light,
In Your presence, I find strength and might.
AMEN, I pray, with a heart sincere,
May Your love and spirit always be near.

The Living Waters that flow through me
Bring ripples of kindness for others to see

The abundance of the water reaches deep into my soul
Quenching my thirst and forever making me whole

The freshness of the water I cannot explain
Bathing my soul like a warm, summer rain

Unexplained Love flowing through my soul
Not understanding how He Loves Me so


Bowing  my head, submitting my heart to Him
Constantly offering Thanks over and over again

For those of you who aren't familiar with the term
Believe me, it's embarrassing, to say the least
When they call you on the carpet and say you're not invited to the next feast

I didn't think what I did was that bad 
Hard times hit and I was dead broke
They said what I did was no joke

They passed the offering plate and I made change.
I put in a five and took out a twenty
I thought that would be a plenty

I felt the Lord was okay with that considering the situation I was in
The Deacons said I had committed a great sin. 

Since none of them didn't offer to help
I saw an opportunity to feed my whelp

Well they still parading to church in their fancy clothes
I'm Worshiping God on the park bench
Only the Lord knows. 

I'm thankful for what I got. Seems like I got more than they will ever see
Worldy things you can't take with you to the grave believe me

What I got will last through death
The Love of God is the very best
