Thank you, God

Thank you, God, for your Amazing Grace
Thank You, God, for sending Jesus to take my place

Thank You, God, for your Love. We can't understand
Thank you, God, for sending Jesus to pass it down to man

Thank You, God, for your everlasting care 
Thank You, God, for sending Jesus that I might share 

Thank you, God, for the boldness you entrusted to me 
The strength to tell others how they can be set free

When your down

Do you ever get down with nowhere to turn
Digging the hole deeper, the more you churn 

Life is like quicksand in a way
Finding yourself on the wrong road today

Never judge yourself when you are down
You might judge from the perspective of a clown

Wait till the cloud passes and the sun shines through
The many  bright colors God made just for you

We can’t stay in the valley all the time
The road to Paradise is a continuing climb

Climbing may be as important as the destination 
Following the right guide will guarantee us a reservation

Joyful

My grandson Kevin age 3 1/2
It is Joyful when people are happy. 
Absolute Joy comes from the heart,
Making me feel so free

Loving Joy comes from God in Heaven
The charm that sparks my heart to sing with glee

Having Joy no matter the circumstances surrounding me
God’s plan from the very beginning, you see

I bow my head every day  
Thanking GOD for sending Jesus my way
