How can I find Jesus? He has already seen me
The simple task of asking Him in set me Free

Life is much like a long, winding road
From birth till I reached my home abroad

Around each curve, an unpredictable scene
Whether exciting or sad, there is much in between

The longer the road, the more I've learned
Not to be surprised by the view around the turn

As the road comes to an end, I've found my faith being constantly tested
With all the ups and downs and many curves, my life has not been wasted

Along the way I found Jesus to hold my hand
Crossing the River of Jordan into the Holyland

In the realm of possibilities, a boundless view,
It's not what you can't do, but what you can do.

With strength in your spirit, like a river that flows,
Overcoming challenges, as the wind gently blows.

In each limitation, a seed of potential lies,
Blossoming into achievements beneath the open skies.

Embrace the power within, let your courage ignite,
For in every endeavor, you're capable of taking flight.

So, dance with ambition, let your dreams pursue,
It's not what you can't do, but what you can do.

My presence is all that is required 
My most crucial attribute desired

All the words and knowledge in the world
Seems lacking at a time when grief is
Unfurled

A shoulder to lean on, a kind smile to embrace
An act of Love that portrays God's Love and Grace

Just being there with a smile on your face
Lifts my spirits through love to a higher place

It's not the monetary value that brings happiness 
It's the tenderness of the heart that fills the emptiness 

So, to make someone feel great today
Display a warm smile all along the way

Use it or lose it, I have always been told
Does that apply to the young and old

This makes sense for the physical aspects of my life
The stronger I will be, the more endurance I shall see

Does this apply to my spiritual life as well
If I don't use it, Will I spend eternity in hell

With repetitions of  prayer and praise every day 
I will be on the path to Heaven not far away

Do I need to make changes in my life
Am I happy, or do I need less strife

The world is full of turmoil all around me
How can I change something I can't see

Getting a glimpse of God above
Amazing Grace, I bow in His Love

It all is based on His Only Son, Jesus
Trusting in Him He will never leave us

I'm Locked in an unruly  body 
Always wanted another toddy

How do I control my urges within
People say I have committed a sin

One thing for sure: I can't do it alone
Seeking help from the Great unknown

I think this applies to any earthly vice
With any indulgence, I  pay the price

If I calm my soul and my  mind
My body won't linger far behind

Thank you, God, for everything today 
For giving me life, never being far away

I can never repay you for what you've done for me
Only spreading Your Love through Your Son that all may see

Your love transcends the sands of time
My love for you increases as I climb

One day, when I see you face-to-face
I will eternally Thank You for Your Saving Grace

The more we need Him, the more He gives us
This belief  is based on His Love and our trust

His love cannot be measured
Only be felt and treasured

Giving my all to Him, He never fails in giving His All back to me
Finding Love greater than the deepest ocean and most expansive sea

Praises Forever and Forever I cast up to thee 
Thank You, God, for sending Your Son Jesus to set me Free
