This may be the last time I pray to God above. 
I hope I remembered to thank him for His Love

He has done so very much for me 
I can only pray to Him on bended knee

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
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 am in better shape today than I was back when
Because the Love of Jesus saved me from sin

Why He ever touched me I will never know
I can only bow my head and thank him for His warm glow

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

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 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

A greater purpose I would like to have.
Would I be more important? Would it elevate me?
I suppose that would depend on the nature of the purpose.  Would the greater purpose set me free?

Does My Maker create my purpose in life above? 
Is it true that God is Love? 

To find my greater purpose, it makes sense to ask God above. 
Walking close to His Son Jesus,  my purpose will be revealed through His Love.

As a member of the human race
I would like to flourish with haste 

Achieving to thrive in everything I do
Hoping to be most pleasing to you

To Flourish nourishment must be provided
Through my loving friends, I will be guided. 

Spiritual flourishment takes a completely different course. 
Requiring a path that God would endorse

Associating with friends of similar faith
Would bring me closer to God’s Grace

Developing a flow of living water deep inside
Will certainly determine where my soul will abide

Have I ever been manifested by someone or something?
I certainly have. I felt my heart jumping. 

The rain showers manifest the colors of the rainbow.
God's Son Jesus manifests the peace within my soul.

Not knowing how it works, I completely understand.
Many things are made intensely vivid by God’s Devine Hand.
