I can hear the Master

For most of my life, I could not hear anything at all 
It was like I was running into a thick brick wall

I had no real clue where to turn
I had a haunting feeling I might burn

Then one day, a friend saw my plight
He asked if he could offer a bit of advice

Responding, sure, why not? I have nothing to lose
It might save me at the end from the hangman's noose

He introduced me to his Friend Jesus that day
I could not believe it was such a simple thing to say

From then on, I could hear The Master say
Follow Me today. I will show you the way

From Cradle to Grave

From the cradle to the grave
I will continue to be very brave 

He walks with me every day 
Never drifting very far away

In good times and bad 
He keeps me from being sad

At the top of the mountain or in the valley 
His Loving Grace has kept me out of many an alley

Watching from my birth to the day I die
I'm waiting anxiously with Him to fly

I was not born this way

I was not born this way

I was not born this way. Slumming on the street with no pay
The bottom has dropped out. No, where to go? Not knowing if I will see you the next day 

Selling my body and anything else I've got to get a dime for some pot

I have nowhere to turn but to God now 
He made me. Maybe He can get me out of this somehow

Well, check back in a few days. I pray he doesn't delay 

If you see a person like me
don't walk on by
Please stop and pray with me before I die

If God knows

If God knows everything, why does he want to hear from me
He wants to listen to my confessions of Love, don't you see

When God made me, he set me free
To test my love to see where I would be
If I did not Love Him, I would not return
A simple test for what my tender heart yearns

Wiser than me in every way 
I desire to walk with Him every day

Click on me

Click on me I will solve all of your problems
I will give you all you want with plenty of knowledge

Sounding way too good to be true
Will it work if I do
Being wise from within, I have to be careful who I listen too

God operates on his steadfast principles
The evil one plays on my emotion
Making me invincible 

Whatever I do 
I will think it through

Comfortable

God is so comfortable, as well as he should be
He's the one that created you and me

God fits like a comfortable pair of old blue genes 
Not too tight, not too stiff feels so right it seems

Since He is with me all the time 
I don't want to wear any blisters as I climb

Thank you, God, for being so close to me
Thank you for sending your son Jesus that I will live in eternity

Always keep laughing

Donkey mocking and laughing hysterically. Vector clip art illustration with simple gradients. All in a single layer.
Always keep laughing; it's good for the body and the soul 
It will keep you at Christmas from getting a lump of coal

A happy man is a kind man
Always helping
 everyone he can 

No one can be happy all the time
However, He will continue to climb

Laugh your way to the grave 
Your epitope will say, “I was Crazy Brave.”

Comfortable

I feel comfortable where I am
God has got me out of many a jam

Leaving everything up to me
many things I would not see

I am comfortable today in the skin I wear and the soul I bear

God sent His Son Jesus to save me from sin
I am comfortable with stress and strife because of Him

If you are not comfortable today, whatever position you find yourself in
On bended knee, bow your head and pray please Jesus to come to me

Stir

I've stirred  up many things in my life
Some good, some with much strife

My mother stirred love in her food
That's why it tasted so good

What do I mix and stir today
The Love of God along my way

Stirring with others that believe as I do
God will surely bring blessings to you
