The Man

I'm not the man I used to be. God found me through Jesus, who set me free.

He can change you, too, asking His Son Jesus to come to live in your heart. 
Jesus is bringing Peace, Love, and Joy, never more to depart. 

Jesus made me the way I am today, not to be perfect
Only to Honor God through His Son Jesus with the utmost respect

Be Present in Your Existence

Are you always present wherever you are 
Is your mind constantly drifting afar

Focus is the name of the game
Only with focus will you be able to aim

With a steady precision aim at the target
You will never end up where you started

Each contest that you himbly win
Bringing you closer to the Glorious end

In the last few days, the target will be
The Son of God who will set you free

Focusing your mind and heart on Him
His Light will never grow dim

Following His bright light of love
You will live with him for eternity in Heaven above

Credit card Grace

What is a credit card, Grace? 
It is the credit of Grace God gives before I receive the debt he has paid. 

Once I receive Jesus in my life, the debt that He Paid
All my sins are canceled due to the Plans God made. 

I can't Thank Him enough for His Love that came through His son.
The day Jesus was Crucified, God's Plan For salvation was done.

A new identity

I have a new identity now. Much more pleasant than the one before
Since Love came into my life, I harbor no hate for anyone anymore. 

I can't explain what happened to me
I thank God, whom I can not see

He seemed to know just the right time to give His touch
Through His Love, I have received so much

With my physical eyes, I cannot see
Through my soul, I feel His Love for me

When things look gloomy, don't ever give up
God is out there waiting to give His Touch

Instinct

Why do I have instinct? Why is it built into me?
It's a gut feeling I have that I can't see. 

Being built into me by God my Maker
I think it was put there to keep me from the undertaker.

Some call it a built-in Moral Compass 
Not sure, when I heed it I hear trumpets

Whatever the reason it gives direction to my life
Following my internal instincts  brings much less strife

I closed my eyes

As I drew near to the end of my journey
My heavy eyes started to close
It was not left up to me whether to stay or go
Knowing all along from the grave, He Arose

Being so tired, closing my eyes to sweet death 
Looking toward His Light, drawing my last breath

Hallelujah, He has Risen that I might live with him
Where His everlasting Light will never grow dim

His Love surrounds my waiting soul
In life after death making me whole

No tongue can tell, nor eye can see
The Glorious Sights revealed unto me

Death could not hold My Master in the grave
Passing that on to me when I was saved

Hallelujah, Praise His Name for Evermore
I have reached that Heavenly Golden Shore

Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road

Over shoulder view of a man driving a car with his hands on the steering wheel, turning quick. (sunny weather)
Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road
The only way to travel safely and lighten your load

Travel the path of righteousness will lead you closer to peace,
 that all inter turmoil may cease

Being in control and very attentive to your surroundings
It will significantly lessen your heart pounding

There is only one happy path on this green earth
Following the path of Jesus realizing His Great Worth

I love the sunshine

No matter your station or position in life
A glimpse of sunshine relieved much strive 

To see the sun, you have to open a window or move outside
You can't stay in a dark place and continue to hide

However, you feel you must strip away the dark and let the sunshine heal

This is not the truth as I  say. Sometimes things have to be removed down to our core today

The truth may hurt for a short while
After leaving the baggage, you will begin to smile

With a lighter load and a spring in your step 
The rays of sunshine will always land on your doorstep

Where does the truth lie

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
