I have so many memories of long ago
A lot of good and some bad

Some of my Mom
Some of my Dad

Childhood days
When things were right

Other days 
When things were not so bright

Overall after things are said and done 
I turned out alright

When I go Four Paws Up
I can’t wait to give it up 

I will glide into Heaven 
On that Ole Steam Engine # 7

My hand has been on the throttle 
And my eye upon the rail 

So my run could be made successful 
So that we may never fail

When I meet My Dear Loving Savior
I will praise him for evermore

Resting in his Wondrous Glory
Forever and Forever to Adore

Don't let your Heart get cold from the things of this old world. 

Keep your heart tuned to the things from GOD above

Always Keep looking for HIS Glorious LOVE

This will warm your heart and set you apart

No matter how bad things become or how good things get

You’ll never have to worry or ever have any regrets 

When you look to GOD for HIS GLORIOUS LOVE from Above 

You will always have peace within to try and try again

I went to church today 
It wasn’t that far away

Oh how I had missed worshiping GOD
Through the Prayer and songs, I am Awed 

The Joyful Fellowship and Love Divine
Can only come through JESUS which is mine

If I were an instrument in your orchestra LORD
What kind of sound would I make

Would it be a pleasing sound
That HE would praise 

Or would I make a sound
That is out of tune with many delays

I pray that YOU would come into my heart
And tune me today

So that I may make a Joyful Noice
Oh  My LORD I Pray
