Have I ever been a donor
Giving something to others
In my walk In life, have I stopped to help my brothers

Have I frequented the Blood Bank
to give the gift of life
That is bringing others much less physical strife

Have I shared the Blood of Christ with my friends
That they may find eternal life that will never end

The donor Bank of Gods Love
It is open to all
That through his Sons Blood, we may hear his call

Thank You, God. Thank You, God, for donating Your Love to all

Mercy walked in, and evil walked out
He's always trying to get back in with a shout

No room in here; go along your way
My friend Mercy is here to stay

Mercy brought Love and Grace to help him out
With the three, there will never be a 
doubt

Bowing my head and thanking Him with a shout
For showing me what His Love is all about

I misplaced my key one day 
Looking for it, I turned gray

I looked all over the place
I prayed for saving grace

He took my hand and showed me the way
It was right where I left it, I must say

If you've lost the key to Heaven, don't fret
Once He shows you, you will never forget

The key to Heaven is His Son, Jesus, whom He sent with Love
Once you unlock the door, it will remain open for evermore

His Love and Grace have set me free
Never again needing a key

The Men of God come together to share His Unmerited Love
That's what makes them Christian brothers sent from above

Oh, but it doesn't stop there working hand in hand
Caring for the less fortunate and spreading The Good News of Jesus throughout the land. 

God's work on this earth is never done 
It's up to us to pass it on one by one

God never falters; God never fails
He uses men to carry out His intricate details

Thank You, God, for the Blessings You Have Given
Allowing us just a little glimpse of Heaven

Have you reached your destination in life
Did you reach it with much or little strife 

Not having reached it, do you know where to look
Have you thought of consulting the Good Book

Maybe you are young and want to consider that later
Don't delay too long time is a traitor  

Blink your eye, and your destination may pass you by

Whether here  on earth or Heaven bound
Focusing on Jesus will make it easier found

Right is wrong, and wrong is right
That doesn't seem right

The Good Book says that's the way it will be
I hope it's not the end for me

I promise I will try and do better
So my friends and I can remain together

Putting the bad aside and forging ahead
I kept my ear tuned to what Jesus said.

Bowing my head, thanking You, God
For your Son Jesus walking the path I've trod

The year's gone by remain more precious as time flies.
Being blessed to view through my mind's eyes.

Where does the time go? No one seems to know. 
Seemingly to disappear somewhere beyond the rainbow.

The Treasure at the end is a collection of many friends.
Bringing flowing tears of love that never end.

All beyond reach and out of sight.
I try to touch with all my might.

Some things are best left in the past.
Oh, how time travels so fast.

I think it's good we don't have a choice in the matter.
Leaving it to God is the only divine answer.

The memories of another day linger in my heart and mind
Pondering for many hours the feeling I can not seem to find

Fond memories of my childhood. I felt warm and whole 
Please tell me, where did those innocent years go

Time travels as swiftly as light
In a moment, turning into night

There is only one Lighthouse that will guide me safely ashore
The Shining Light of Jesus abiding within me forevermore

Does my life play in a symphony with others around me
Do I hear and see musical notes that are in tune with my ear

Am I looking at the music and not the conductor 
Harmony comes by following the instructor 

My life is the same, keeping my eye on The Maker of the Universe
Continuing daily to pray and rehearse
