With Jesus in me, how will people know?
Will He Shine through wherever I go?

Will they see a drastic change in me?
Jesus coming in and setting me free.

I pray they see His light shining in me.

There are new days ahead. I see 
Good days or bad, it's left to me

I can choose the broad road to hell
The narrow path in heaven to dwell

It's left up to me
Which eternity I see

Bowing my head, asking Jesus in
Is the secret to the Glorious win

He walks with me and talks with me
At the end of the race, Heaven, I will see

Life from the womb to the tomb and every second in-between 
My actions and reactions determine what I see

Do I exhibit hate and discord
Seemingly am always being ignored 

Do I present a happy face with peace within
Having many friends, I am happy with where I've been

The choice is only mine to make
Praying I do not make a mistake

Joy, love, peace, and happiness only come from God above
The key to such a blissful life is knowing Jesus through his love

The Universe is not ours to understand 
Being a small part of God's Great Plan

No way to conceive of His Vast Domain
Only Thanking Him for Jesus to forever Reighn

I am as important as the stars that God has made
Making me a part of the Great Plan He has laid

I will never commence to understand
God's Grest Wisdom He holds in His hand

His undying Love last through the eternal ages
Giving me the courage to turn my life’s pages

God's Love is so wonderfully profound
My mission in life is to pass it around

When my earthly life comes to an end
I can only Bragg God as my friend

Adore Me. God has said through Eternity.
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

Worship Me. I made the universe so vast.
Through man's ever-expanding mind, it will last.

Worship Me—all of the creation I give unto thee.
That thou might have a divine appreciation for Me.

Worship Me that through My Son Jesus
You will have Victory.
Victory over life, Victory over death to live with me through Eternity.

Inspired by 
The Words of Our Living God

Working too hard to get where I am
I've been in lots of pinches getting
Out of many a jam

 I see now the predicaments I got out of
was God watching over me with his love. 

I don't look back to see where I have been. 
I am trusting God’s hand to lead me to the Holy Land.

A Messinger told me one day don't listen to anyone else
I'm the only one that can show you how to tighten my belt

I don't sell anything. I'm not trying to make money.
There may be a small fee to join my circle of friends, honey.

I have the answer. All may contact me. 
The answer is I have many degrees. 

I asked if this was so good and would help me,
why is one man in charge of the secrets that would set me free?

Well, I think I'll stick to my old tale
Follow no man. He may fail. 
Only follow Jesus. He is familiar with the trail.

Uncle Jim has always been my best friend. 
He stayed with me through my trials to the end.

What ever I was going through, I could depend on Uncle Jim.
Then one-day things looked so gravely dim.

Poor Old Uncle Jim died that lonely day .
Now I have a better friend to help me along the way.

I found him by accident when I cried. I can't live this way. 
Hearing my cry, He came into my heart that day.

 Never alone, never alone. God's son Jesus came in to stay.
Now bowing my head and thanking him when I pray. 

RIP, Uncle Jim Beam

Going  with the flow seems to be the norm
Being much more comfortable to conform

Salmon would never spawn if they didn't fight their way upstream
The same for me. Without some effort I will never reach my dream

Going with the flow, less padding, we have to do
Traveling afar, you may find it's not good for you

The talk around the gym, no pain, no gain
Traveling without God, you will most likely go insane
