The Journey

The journey indicates a period from the beginning to end
Hopefully, being able to travel with a very close friend

Traveling with someone you love and know
It makes time fly by much faster as you go

There are many journeys to travel in this life; we know
Some will be happy ones some will cause many woes 

On the final journey, we travel when our life is gone
There is only one friend that can travel on

The best friend we’ll have in this life and beyond 
Is God's Son Jesus, with whom we will form an eternal bond

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
