He never Died. He never lied

He never died. He never lied. 
Spanning the sands of time
He holds me in his arms 
The many times I cry

He is Love beyond Love
Hope beyond Hope
I trust Him with my Heart and Soul
I trust his Devine Love that makes me whole

Thank you God Thank you God
For making me that I might worship thee

Thank you God for caring enough 
To set me free

White trash

Does white trash refer to the garbage from people in their house
Does white trash refer to the social status of the people in my house

In either case, it does not appear to be very nice
It's best I do not judge anyone by their trash

The good book says not to judge; It will bring judgment back on me
The moral of this story, I must say
Mind your own business and your trash will be set free

Tell it like it is

Do I tell it like it is
Do I fudge in what I say

Do I ask God to direct me all the time
Lord, help me tell the truth today

For if only the truth I say
The reality in Jesus is the only way

Thank you, God, for giving me the words
Truthfulness will set me free as a bird

I bow my head and say
Thank you, God, for the strength you give today

The span of Time

It's not the span of my life. 
It's the span of my wings. 
With the flight I will take, I will
Hear music from my heartstrings 

Choosing to be positive through my 
pain
Will most surely increase my heavenly gain

The trials here on this  earth 
develops my spiritual worth

Age makes no difference as I approach my end of time
It's not my physical body that will accompany me through eternal time

God gives  me enough wisdom, love, peace, and grace 
To travel with me through this endless time and space

Thank you, God, for being so near
As I shed a painful tear
Thank you, God. I can see my Peaceful Rest is so very near.

She loved Butterfly’s and the span of their wings

We Love you, Al

Hi Al, we all love you
Praying God gives you the strength to see you through

Whenever we see you on TV, we know your true
Theirs certainly nothing fake about you

Just a note to say we care
Always being in our prayer

The Love for your family shows 
Never doubt a minute; God knows

Our Best Wishes this Christmas Season
God continually working through you is the reason

Salvation

Redemption is God's love flowing from within
Thank you Jesus, for loving me enough to come in

Any earthly words will not explain the Joy I feel. 
The smile on my face will only show what has become real

Thanking God for waiting for me to turn to Him
Otherwise, the outcome would have been so dim

Thank you, God, for your plan for me since the beginning of time
Thank you for the strength you've given me on this hill to climb

I praise your Holy Name no matter what my position 
Praying others will see You in me in any situation

He Turned Me Around

Praise God He reached down and turned me around
Thank God I was saved and lifted off the ground

Thank God, Thank God I'm free from this world of sin
Thank God His only son Jesus came to live within

Think God; I'm free. I'm free from the chains of this world of sin
He removed these old shackles so a new life I might begin

I can't thank him enough or pray long enough to thank Him for what He’s done for me

I pray I can share His Great Love again and again 
Oh Lord, show me the way each day how to become a loving friend

Keep the Faith

I keep the Faith no matter what comes my way
Man can plunder my belongings; Man can't take my soul away

I live in Joy no matter what comes today
I have a much greater possession. Man
can’t remove away

I have confidence that I stand firm
That I might have the endurance to do the Will of God

Striving every day to follow his commandments 
Oh Lord, please spare me the rod

Jesus came to save, not to condemn
Bowing my heart, thanking Him again and again

Hebrews 10 34-36

Heb 10:34  For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.
Heb 10:35  Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.
Heb 10:36  For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.
