I’d Turn Back if I Were You 

I’d turn back if I were you
I know what your gonna have to go through 
I’d turn back if I were you

The road ahead is more than bumpy
Many pitfalls deep and wide
I’d turn back if I were you

Take heed and do not proceed
The road is too treacherous and narrow there
I’d turn back if I were you

The bridge is out and the water is deep 
The road ahead is a death trap. Don’t go to sleep
I’d turn back if I were you

If you must proceed, wait till Dawn 
Don’t ever go alone. Take a second set of eyes with you. 
I’d turn back if I were you

If you don’t heed this warning it’s up to you
You will only arrive late or not at all. 
I’d turn back if I were you. 

It’s better to be alive than dead
There are many more years ahead
Please turn back and don’t go on

NO

If there is no Heaven or no Hell
What was Man made for do tell

Do we live our lives with no finish line in sight
It would be foolish to enter a race with no prize I think

Those who know JESUS, have won the prize 
I am so thankful,  I've won before I die

Persevere 

When you are down and out
And you don’t want to shout

Look around
See who’s about

Seek your friends
They have a love for you

They will help
To make your Goal come true

Say your Prayers every day and night
God is listening to your plight

When you least expect it
God will come through 
With everything you want and more too

Church 

All kinds of People go to Church 
Some are People who have found the LORD
And are Happy in Their Heart

Some are Looking for the Love
That GOD can impart

Some are inquisitive just to see what’s there
They don’t really care 

Some go to be seen
So others will not think they not mean

Whatever the reason you attend 
GOD is there to give you salvation within

If You Give Your Life to HIM
HE will Give You Joy Within

He will walk with You every step of the way
Bearing  your Burdens Every Day

The Perm 

A traveling salesman in the south at the time
My wife convinced me to get a perm, that my income might climb

With my new look, nothing could hamper me
The sales would soar. The money Would be flowing so free

At my first stop, I proudly entered the door 
Only having their comments, dash my hopes to the floor
