I met a man. He said he didn’t want to talk about God.
I guess he doesn’t want to talk about other men and the path they have trod.
Abraham Lincoln carried a prayer book in his vest pocket
Martin Luther King constantly referred to God on his docket.
No man is perfect. That’s not what Christianity is all about.
When I got a glimpse of Jesus, it all began with a shout.
My ship has been on a dark ocean at night.
I found peace and contentment spotting the guiding light
It was dark and cold out there.
Having hope for the shore kept me from despair
Now I share my light with others to guide them safely ashore
There is no better feeling than the warmth of that far off shore

The kiss has many different feelings
usually a greeting of good or bad
Depending on who gives the kiss
will make you happy or sad
There is a kiss of greeting, a kiss of love
Both welcomed kisses from above
There is the marked kiss, the kiss of death, both absent of love
Depending on how you live your life
Which kiss do you get from your wife

Happiness can be a constant state of my mind
Depending on my outlook, will rely on what I find
Happiness is a result of my soul being at rest
By accomplishing this before I die, I will be blest

Am I being monitored by Uncle Sam
Or is my internet listening in
All this modern technology makes my aching head spin
As of late, realizeing I'm monitored all the time
Scaring me at first, feeling it might be a crime
Then realizing the one monitoring was the maker of me
Listening to the information learned will surely set me free

I can't even imagine the beautiful things unseen
Someone’s experience and pictures bring beauty to me
Spiritual things are quite different to find
No pictures, feelings in the heart, not the mind
I can't imagine what words cannot describe
I can only feel the love in my heart where it abides
God is love, the good book says
The overflowing love in my heart is His

Superstition Is a strange feeling I can't control
Not being in control makes me feel less than whole
There are undoubtedly no ill feelings from God
I put away all superstition
on the path, I trod
These feelings not coming from above
I replace them with God’s Eternal Love

Life looking forward seems so long.
Life looking back appears so short
Why this is, I'm not quite sure
There seems to be no ready cure
Living each day the very best I can
In the end, being proud of the race I ran
The most crucial ending to the race
To whom I pass the baton with a quick pace

This old house isn't what it used to be
It used to be dark, sad, and dreary
Now, this old house is bright and sunny
Full of joy, laughter, and so cheery
Making such a drastic change did not come overnight
Coming after many days of my soul taking flight
The difference between dark and light
Seeking God’s son Jesus with all your might

I sometimes wonder if I'm AWOL
I hope I'm not on the crooked road to hell
I pray a lot and get no definite answer
Asking everyone, I don't know what’s a matter
I may be Absent Without Official Leave
If this is true, my only choice is to grieve
Dear God, I didn't run away on purpose. I don't think
Please give me a second chance, and I will never take another drink
I shouldn't even ask what I'm thinking
If you forgive me, I promise to start a new beginning
Wait, I may have made this promise before
That may be why you have shut the door
Dear God, have mercy on my soul
I'm begging this time, take me back and put me on parole
