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

My Compass

I have a compass that shows me the way
It keeps me on the right path, keeping me from harm's way. 

I have a moral compass deep inside me
Paying attention to it will keep my soul free

Morality is based on the teaching I have had
Using what I have learned wisely will make me glad

Having done something I shouldn't 
My moral compass is very prudent

The guilt I feel from performing a questionable task
Being judged by the truth deep inside, I dare not ask. 

Bowing my head and thanking my God
For being so wonderfully blest

A Beautiful Place

No matter where I am, there's a much better place
A place of God's Love and his Glorious Grace

Whether I have it all together or everything is falling apart
I will have total peace and comfort with God in my Heart

When the road gets rough and shakes me apart 
I will look inwardly to God's Love in my Heart 

The comfort of Our Living Savior with His Amazing Grace
Knowing God's Son puts me in a much Better Place

Praise to the God of All Comfort
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas 
The spirit of Love is in the air

Sleigh bells jingle in the snow
Just listen; your heart will begin to glow

All of us kids get so excited; I can hardly wait 
The arrival of Santa, oh, I hope he isn’t late

Santa’s Love began in Bethlehem
Many years ago
With the Birth of God’s Son, Heavenly Love began to flow

Love conceived in many ways
Through God's son, we offer Praise 

We bow our hearts and proclaim
Thank you, God, in Jesus' name
