Blind as a bat

I'm old ugly and fat
Am I blind as a bat

Do others see what I can't see
Boy this sure frustrates me

My vision is so cloudy from the confusion in my mind
I cannot see beyond my nose half the time

I need to make an appointment to have it checked out
I hear Dr. Jesus makes house calls
His appointment calendar is always open no doubt 

It's my fault keep putting off calling him
It will never get better till his prescription of love comes in

Negative & Positive

Line drawing of Scales of Justice. Elements are grouped.contains eps10 and high resolution jpeg.
If everything in life were all positive, I would have no decision about what is right
With no decision, how could my soul find a better path in life

With all numbers being positive, many equations could not be resolved

The same with my life, the good balances the bad, and that's where God becomes involved

Good and evil, Heaven and Hell I'm somewhere in between
Knowing Jesus tips the scales for you and me

Passion

Find your passion – motivation phrase handwriting on label with compass
Am I passionate about anything
The Good Book says to be either hot or cold
No matter what I do I should develop a passion to see it unfold

If it's something I enjoy it becomes easy to have a passion for
Being so important in the things I pursue in life I desire more

Happiness comes from within from the choices I make
Always taking time to pray before those steps I take

I should of

Crossroad signpost saying this way, that way, the other way concept for lost, confusion or decisions
I could hardly wait to go I should have said no
It would have relieved me of much frustration you know

I should have stayed home and tried not to roam
Some of my friends live on the edge they don't care about home. 

From now on before I go, I'm going to say a little prayer and ask for direction 
Then listen for his voice that my journey will be pleasant 

I can't go wrong by asking The One Who Knows All
To guide me in the right direction so that I might not fall

Time is the bender of my mind

Time is the ultimate bender of my mind
I am prone to accept the changes that come with time

Earthly changes have always evolved over the years
The deeper I delve into History the more changes that appear

The Great I Am never changes through the Ages
He is the Rock of Gibraltar as I turn my pages

In every moment from the beginning to the present
There has always been unrest and turmoil some very unpleasant 

To keep the world from tossing me about
I have to be Well Anchored in The Great I Am no doubt

Love Lifted me

God's love lifted me to new heights I could not imagine or see
Knowing not it was there I found it through His Son Jesus who sacrificed His Life for me

Feeling His touch His Love inflamed within me. 
No mind can conceive or tongue can tell, how He has set me Free. 

I can tell you His Love is worth more than earthly riches and gold
None of my earthly possessions can travel with me I am told

Then one day I began to look at myself as others saw me
I must admit what I saw wasn't very pretty to me

It's never too late to change your life
To follow a path that will bring Love and less strife 
Jesus, said I accept you just as you are come follow me for a better life

When God gave me His only Son to die on the Cross to free me from sin
He knew that kind of love I would never understand

I can't understand the depth of His Love
I can only accept it through His Son Jesus from His Father Above

Love

The Love of God came to earth that dreadful day
When His Son was crucified in the worst way

God sends His Son Jesus to all who will accept him
Men have the free choice to brighten their light or let it grow dim

Heaven or hell I must eventually decide
where my Soul will abide

Pride

Pride is the father of all sin. The devil himself has pride swelling from within. 

Sin is so proud of what it can accomplish. 
It makes me think I'm so pompous

Feeling better than all those around 
The Devil whispers to me ill never let you down 

If all of this Is so true why do I feel so blue
I've got a strange feeling I'm not putting my trust in you 

I went to church with my girlfriend
I felt so ashamed 
I found out Jesus would accept me just where I am

I fell to my knees and asked Jesus to come in
At that very moment, I felt God's Love flow within

The devil left running as fast as he could
He knew who Jesus was trying to make me believe I misunderstood 

With the light of God's Son Jesus inside
There was no room for evil to abide

Thank You, God for sending Jesus to die for me
That I might live forever and be set free

Impulse

Am I impulsive I’ve been told all my life that’s il
It definitely is if not in God's will

God sees the big picture from the upper side
What I see makes no sense at all from the underside

The world does not understand when I stand on the promises of God
He only reveals to me His Heavenly plan from above

The Answer

Do I pray to God to find the answer there 

He has already given me the answer but where. 

The question I am asking has been answered many times. 

By reading the scripture I understand I find 

My answer will come to me when God is ready for me to see 

The answer can't be given too soon or too late 
It's left up to me on God to wait
