Jesus, Just the mention of His name 
Will remove all my worldly shame

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
brings more love than I can acclaim 

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
will miraculously remove all my sin

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Will bring unexplained peace within

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Conquered my death when He came

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Living forever, continually praising Him

Listen trust and obey for there's no other way. 
If in His loving arms, I want to stay

Listening is the most important of the three
Without intensive listing, I will never see

Trusting comes from faith in Almighty God
Without faith, there is no light on the path I trod

Obeying comes from the love I see
With Jesus, the Son of God, living in me

Jesus came to visit. Was I embarrassed by what he did see?
Did my surroundings make him proud of me?

Would I have changed anything before He came by?
After entering, did he look around and say why?

He said He would be back, and I am greatly concerned. 
Will I have time to clean up my act before He returns? 

I only have one choice but to start now. 
I am urgently asking God to help somehow. 

After listening to what God had to say
I invited Jesus in without delay

Suffering has different meanings, I must say
Suffering for good or bad depending on the day

I may suffer in training to win a race I've won
I may suffer for making mistakes I shouldn't have done

How I choose to suffer is in my hands
Deciding on the most appropriate plans. 

Always looking for love and light
Discarding the evil of the night

Suffering is lessened along the way,
by loving The Lord more each day.

With Jesus in me, how will people know?
Will He Shine through wherever I go?

Will they see a drastic change in me?
Jesus coming in and setting me free.

I pray they see His light shining in me.

There are new days ahead. I see 
Good days or bad, it's left to me

I can choose the broad road to hell
The narrow path in heaven to dwell

It's left up to me
Which eternity I see

Bowing my head, asking Jesus in
Is the secret to the Glorious win

He walks with me and talks with me
At the end of the race, Heaven, I will see

Life from the womb to the tomb and every second in-between 
My actions and reactions determine what I see

Do I exhibit hate and discord
Seemingly am always being ignored 

Do I present a happy face with peace within
Having many friends, I am happy with where I've been

The choice is only mine to make
Praying I do not make a mistake

Joy, love, peace, and happiness only come from God above
The key to such a blissful life is knowing Jesus through his love

The Universe is not ours to understand 
Being a small part of God's Great Plan

No way to conceive of His Vast Domain
Only Thanking Him for Jesus to forever Reighn

I am as important as the stars that God has made
Making me a part of the Great Plan He has laid

I will never commence to understand
God's Grest Wisdom He holds in His hand

His undying Love last through the eternal ages
Giving me the courage to turn my life’s pages

God's Love is so wonderfully profound
My mission in life is to pass it around

When my earthly life comes to an end
I can only Bragg God as my friend
