Oh, death, where is your victory
Oh, death, where is your sting
Jesus Christ removed them so that I might sing

He took the burden of all my sins
And cast them in the deepest sea
Setting me forever eternally free

What above heaven and earth could save me from my sins
The incredible power of God where His mighty love begins

Why do I have Joy in any circumstance today 
Because God's Son Jesus came into my heart to stay

I bow my head on bended knee
Continually thanking Him for being so gracious to me

1 Corinthians 55-56

55 
“Where, O death, is your victory?    Where, O death, is your sting?”[b]
56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ

He left me for another today
Taking part of my heart away

I'm not religious. I have nowhere to turn
I'm just praying somehow; he will See a way to return

If this is not possible, oh God, mend my broken heart
Could you help me in someway to find a new start

Grandma seasoned her food with love
All of her dishes were a notch above

She said she constantly stirred in love
It seemed to me she used recipes from above

Whatever she did was the best in the world
My taste buds were awakened by the food she unfurled

It's not your physical size that matters 
It's the size of your spiritual heart
Commanding the forces of the universe to set you apart

So get down on your knees and ask
If you're like me, not very smart

Having shipped jars of honey by ups
The surprising cost gave me no rest

Oh Gods, precious Love was so free
The price he paid for shipping to me

After shipping, did I bring it inside
Is it on my doorstep, where it will reside

God, the most Precious Gift He sent
Without opening, I will never be content

His Love is Sweeter than the sweetest honey
Worth far more than any amount of earthly money

Thank You, God, again for sending Jesus, your son
That I might have eternal life, and the race won

Is the intent of the internet good or evil?
The answer to that lies in the data of my retrieval.

If I look for the good, I will find God.
If I look for evil, I will find the devil.

The desires of my mind reveal the inner feelings of my heart. 
What I'm revealing may indicate if I'm very smart 

Using fire for good. Using fire for evil
My preferences will reveal my feelings to all people
