Hard Times 

Looking back in time
Hard times were good times
Because JESUS was there all the time

He walked and talked with me
every day 
Molding me in his divine way

HE saved me and made me whole         And gave me Joy in my Soul

The bad comes with the good
So that we can make the decisions we should

If it were all good and there was no bad
There would be no decision to be had

For it’s only the right decision that we make
That will bring us joy for JESUS' sake

Memories of Yesteryear 

The memories of yesteryear linger in my mind
Giving me mixed feelings a lot of the time

 Happy Memories that linger the longest
They seem to be more vivid and the strongest

Mostly the love of my family through the years
And others that became so dear

There were good times and hard times as there will always be
But Faith in GOD always gave Strength to me

After all these years I rest with peace now
Thanking GOD that he found me somehow

The love that HE brought can’t be explained 
We can only bow our heads and thank him again and again

The Puzzle 

Did you ever wonder how your life is like a puzzle 
With pieces, only GOD knows  how to scuffle

You see GOD can change the pieces each day
So you will follow HIS Will along the way

This is too much for us to understand 
How GOD can keep us in HIS hand

HE sent HIS SON JESUS to die on the Cross
So that the pieces of our puzzle will never be lost

Such Great Love, we can’t understand 
We can only bow our heads and Thank HIM Again and Again

Time 

What is time here on earth
It’s the movement from our birth

We move so slowly as time passes by
Then we reach a point it seems to fly 

We can’t stop it no matter how hard we try
It will only end when we die

That’s when your Loving JESUS steps in 
And says come and live with me in eternity 

Your love will last from now on
Because GOD gave HIS Only SON

Sunlight from Heaven 

When the sun comes up in the morning
And sets in the evening
GOD’S Blessings seem to have more meaning 

As night starts to fall and the moon begins to glow
You have to watch for evil as it begins to grow

If you have GOD watching over you
You need not fear the night
For it will not bring you harm or any fright

For the light of JESUS shines through any 
Evil you may see 
He will protect you at your beckon plea

So as days come and go and years pass by
GOD watches over us all when he hears our cry

What have you been doing 

What have you been doing today 
Running all around every which way

Are you happy with what you’ve done
Or could have a better course run

There is a way to change your life
That will bring you much less strife

The key is the one that made you
He sent his son to save you

If you take him into your heart
He will give you a fresh start 

Your life will be like new
With Jesus guiding you

JESUS Is Real To Me 

JESUS is Real to me
Because I feel his power within me

To those who haven’t accepted HIM
This is impossible to see

So many trip over the Truth 
Looking for eternity 

It’s so close yet so far away
All You have to do is bow your head and say

I can’t live this way anymore 
Come into my Heart to live for Evermore

Living for JESUS 

It's not hard to live for JESUS 
That’s what some people say

It seems going about your daily tasks
 Is the very thing we should pray

The joy in your heart. The love that  you show . 
That lifts the burden of the work you know

With a smile on your face And a song in your heart
The most difficult task can become a work of art 

Living for Jesus is not difficult you see. 
If I always have JESUS living in me
