Eternal Hope

I have eternal hope for the future, I must say
When Jesus Christ came into my heart and washed my sins away

His Hope gives me Peace Eternal
For His Loving Grace and Hope are supernal

No matter where I go or the situation I find myself in
Through this world and beyond, I will never find a better friend

Looking for God in all the wrong places

If I were in search of God, where would I tend to look
Would I look in church? Would I look in nature, maybe an open book? 

God cannot be found in the wonderous signs he has left for us
All these signs point to Him that we must willingly trust

To find God, we must look to our soul within
For it is through our soul, we can communicate with him

Clutch me in the palm of your hand

Oh Lord, clutch me in the palm of your hand
Do not turn loose till I reach the promised land

Keep me close; never let go
That more of your love I might know

Oh lord, keep me in the palm of your hand
That with You, I might forever stand

Through trials and troubles of this life
Your presence has kept me from all strife

Clutch me tight, never let me go as I walk through the valley of death
Seeing that far offshore, I can't explain
Only then, with you, Heaven, can I claim

Lead me on

Lead me on. I ask God every day
Praying for Him to show me the way

Without His light to light the path
I would undoubtedly experience much wrath

A good guide is worth his weight in gold
You will never be lost always have a friend to hold

Dear God, I will walk with you through eternity
Bowing my head, thanking you for immortality

What Heaven means to me

What Heaven means to me
Walking with Jesus, His face to see
Starting here on earth, never-ending in eternity 

For me, His Love can never be explained
Only Forever and ever being proclaimed 

Thank you, God, for sending Your Son Jesus to set me free
That I might live forever with You in eternity

Give me the passion for telling others of Your Holy Name
That they may, too, find Your Love to proclaim

I complete the puzzle

Missing Jigsaw puzzle piece with lighting, business concept for completing the finishing puzzle piece.
I’m the missing piece of the puzzle 
It’s not complete without me
Being assembled in Heaven only then the beautiful picture, I'll see

A picture of Love and Mercy covering the land
Oh, Blessed Jesus, hold my hand and help me stand

Such beautiful scenes I could never imagine 
So much Love with so much Passion 

Oh, if you could only see the final picture of the ages 
You would understand He is truly the Rock of all the Ages

His light shines on forever and ever
Glistening from that never-ending River

Loves flows from that Crystal River like honey from the come
The sweetness and fragrance call me always more to home

His Majesty and Greatness, I can never explain
Only forever with Him in eternity to reign

A new song in my Heart

I've had songs in my heart all my life
Some were happy; some were sad, caused by much strife

It wasn't until I met Jesus and asked him to come in
That He gave me a new song freeing me from sin

With a new song in my heart and bounce in my gate
Through His Grace and Love, I now cannot wait

With this newfound energy, there is only one thing to do
Give a greeting to others God Bless You

Self Esteem

Self Esteem is an evaluation of my worth. 
There is no more importance on this earth

Feeling good or ill of myself 
Determines my position on life’s shelf

What I've done in the past cannot be changed 
Only by planning the future can I truly avenge

Planning to do the best I can ahead
my Self Esteem, I will not dread
