A leap of Faith

A businessman in silhouette jumping across a mountain or cliff top gap. A concept for taking a leap of faith, being courageous or taking high risks in business.
Burn your bridges behind you so you can't go back
You can only move forward by staying on the right track

Having Faith in God, you leap toward His goal
Unconditionally following Him, turning loose of your earthly gold

Wherever you go whatever you do
Our Heavenly Father is always watching over you

I’ve got my ticket

I've got my ticket. It didn't cost me a dime. 
A friend gave it to me at just the right time

It will be better than any ride I've been on
The exhilarating ride will last past dawn

The destination is unimaginable; nothing I've ever seen
The seas of glass and pastures of Emerald Green

Crystal music from golden chimes
Heavenly notes with divine rhymes

Could this be the place I heard of long ago
Oh my, a seat on the very first row for a Heavenly show

I had no idea what was in store to see
My loving family is being seated by me

If I could only return to tell my family and friends, 
to get their ticket before their time comes to an end

Something got a hold of me

Silhouette christian people hand rising over blurred cross on spiritual light background
Something got a hold of me
For my life, I could not see

Those people started praying for me
I couldn't stop it. Something came over me

I couldn't stop. I ran to the front
Praising God, it wasn't a stunt

It was so real I could feel it in my soul
Crying out, Lord, thank you for making me whole

I've never been the same since God lifted my sin
I will keep praising him over and over again

Peace in my life

I have uncontrollable Peace in my life today. 
Jesus brought it when he came in to stay. 

Nothing can explain the forgiveness He gave me,
When I asked Him to come into my heart that day. 

Eternal life started here on earth. I can't explain. 
I only know there is no more room for sin to remain. 

There's only one way to thank Him that I know.
Me serving others, letting His Peace and Love show.

Every step I take every move I make

modern businessman working close-up legs walking up the stairs in modern city. in rush hour to work in office a hurry. During the first morning of work. stairway. soft focus.
Every step I take every move I make
God watches over me. 
The further I go the clearer I see what my Heavenly Father wants me to be

Staying on the right path keeping my focus on him
Looking ahead His bright light will never grow dim

When this life is over and the race has been won
I can bow my head and thank Him for what He has done

There is no distance in Prayer

There is no distance in prayer
From here to there

The physical distance we find in earthly time
It is nonexistent; in the spiritual realm, 
There is no reason or rhyme

The Lighthouse of God guides me toward him
The closer I get, the brighter His light, never growing dim

Prayer through God's Love brings me peace within
Bringing much solace to an enemy or 
dear friend

Let go and Let God

I have always been very independent, wanting help from no one. 
Always thinking I was number one. 

No one knew more than me.
No need to ask for help, you see.

Then one day things got out of control
And I had to let go.
No, where to go? No help I could find. 
I nearly lost my uncontrollable mind. 

Having nothing to lose. I bowed my head, asking God to free me from this booze. 

To my surprise, Love came rushing in. 
Thank God, Thank God I now have a new friend.

My little pet sins

I have some little pet sins I do not want to let go.
I'm not even sure their sins, you know. 

They may not be good, their not too bad. 
They seem to make me happy, not sad. 

In God's eyes, are there good and bad sins?
Shaking my head, I'm not sure I understand.

My Mother always said if done in secret, it's probably not right. 
Giving me cause to search my soul many nights. 

I guess the truth came to me when I realized God was watching me twenty-four-seven. 
I bowed my head and said I'm sorry I really want to go to heaven.
