If you had walked

If you had walked where I have walked
You might understand 
All this time, who has been holding my weary hand

It’s impossible to see a spirit lending a helping hand
It’s only possible to feel that spirit from a foreign land

Many a time, crossroads appeared ahead
The correct path revealed by what the Master said

Keeping my eyes on Jesus and looking straight away
He will lead me into the promised land without delay

Keeping my eyes on Jesus, He loves me every day 
Following and trusting Him is the only divine way

Oh Lord

Oh Lord, please give peace without pain
Joy without sorrow that I might Heaven gain

Oh Lord, please give understanding where there is confusion 
Please give forgiveness where there is no resolution 

Please give sight to my soul that I may be made whole
Please give me a glimpse of Your Love
That I may guide my soul

Oh Lord, extend me Your Glory and Grace
That someday I may see your Heavenly face

Good Infection

Love symbol in the sand at the beach
Is Almighty God’s Everlasting Love infectious 
Like some infections, it leaves us breathless. 

Some infections are airborne some are waterborne
God’s good infection of Love travels Bloodborne

A good infection is unheard of today
A person infected with love will pray

Prayer will bring joy and peace within 
Bringing eternal life to live with Him

Suspicion

No one is above suspicion
Seeking it leaves a plank in my eye
God is suspicious of no one
He knows our every cry

If I'm always looking for suspicion
It takes the limelight from me
By looking elsewhere, others won't see the truth in me

My own thing going

Well I’ve got my own thing going
I never want to stop roaming

I’m happy as a bird out of a cage 
I feel every day like I’m on stage

Nothing can ever happen to me
I’m in control of everything you see

Then one day, I was blinded by a light
I said God, why did you pick me tonight

My son earthly happiness you have
It is short-lived if you don’t misbehave 

I bring eternal Joy that will last beyond the grave
If you believe in my Son Jesus, whom to you I gave

Going Home

Being a great distance away, headed toward home 
My heart burns for loved ones never more to roam

I've squandered away much of my life
Traveling to many places caused much strife

My blinded eyes are now open, seeing the error of my ways
Returning home, I am hoping for forgiveness and praise

I found God; He forgave me of my sin
Praying that my family forgives me again

Inflation

Dollar currency growth concept with upward arrows on charts and coins background.
Inflation is a scary term of concern
Prices are on the rise everywhere you turn

No matter what it is, the prices keep climbing up
There never seems to be much coffee in my cup

There is one commodity not affected by inflation
The plan of God, which includes saving salvation 

It’s always been free. There will never be a charge
God planned it that way for your heart to enlarge

Sending His Son Jesus to set me free
Extending my life through eternity

The topper

Ever met an individual who topped everyone they met?
Having much better than all, they never let you forget.

It's strange what an overinflated ego will create.
An unusual atmosphere of distasteful hate.

Very little can be accomplished about this situation.
Until their ego is deflated by old fashion salvation.

This change does not occur very often.
Most take it with them in their beautiful coffin.

He touched me

He touched me. Not knowing why
Feeling Love, I could only begin to cry

He touched me when I least expected 
Knowing in my heart, He is resurrected 

Feeling His Power flow through me
not explaining how he set me free

Praising and thanking Him every day
For Only Jesus, never being far away 

Kneeling continually Praising His Name
Crying out, He delivers me from shame

You can start this very day anew
Bowing you're head beginning to pray

Asking Jesus to come in and stay
Bringing new life to this body of clay

His Joy and peace make me whole
Never doubting the destiny of my soul

My joyous task lying ahead 
Shouting Jesus is not dead
