The Key

Don't be like me; that's the key.
There's only one man I follow you see.

Following any man will lead me astray.
For only the Son of God, Jesus knows the way.

Whatever happens, Jesus cares.
Talking to him relieves my many fears.

The calmness He brings with the touch of his hand
Brings me sweet peace in this foreign land

No matter what happens in my stormy life
talking to Jesus calms the waters and brings less strife.

Relationship

Relationship changes over the sand of time
From when I was born till the golden stairs I climb

Whether a happy marriage or divorce
Happiness many times I tried to force

Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. 
That's what makes my life worth living for

No matter what comes along in my daily life 
keeping my eye on Jesus brings more
happiness and less strife

The moral of this story I do tell
looking inside and deepening the well

Peace

Worldly Peace or Heavenly Peace is the question.
Which one I choose will indicate my life’s direction 

Worldly Peace is good while I am here on earth
Heavenly peace has no time and is of much greater worth

With Heavenly Peace, I can have calmness amidst any situation 
With earthly peace, the situation may lead to much frustration

Earthly peace lasts only for a very short time
Many wars were fought over peace, which seems to be a crime

Worldly Peace with Heavenly Peace combined
That combination will give greater Peace of mind
