Little white lies I've heard of all my life.
Sometimes little white lies bring less strife.
White means not being bad I think.
Lying about good you will always sink.
There is no such thing as a black-or-white lie
A lie is a lie until I die.

Wherever you go, there you are.
That means where I am; I'm not far.
This seems confusing, I must say
Wherever I go, I can't stay.
Always confused and misunderstood
I need to slow down and look for the good.
Only God is good, The Book of Truth says.
It all made sense finding out I am His.

I have always been very independent, wanting help from no one.
Always thinking I was number one.
No one knew more than me.
No need to ask for help, you see.
Then one day things got out of control
And I had to let go.
No, where to go? No help I could find.
I nearly lost my uncontrollable mind.
Having nothing to lose. I bowed my head, asking God to free me from this booze.
To my surprise, Love came rushing in.
Thank God, Thank God I now have a new friend.

I have some little pet sins I do not want to let go.
I'm not even sure their sins, you know.
They may not be good, their not too bad.
They seem to make me happy, not sad.
In God's eyes, are there good and bad sins?
Shaking my head, I'm not sure I understand.
My Mother always said if done in secret, it's probably not right.
Giving me cause to search my soul many nights.
I guess the truth came to me when I realized God was watching me twenty-four-seven.
I bowed my head and said I'm sorry I really want to go to heaven.

Inspired by
Mark Daniluk K8SMD
Holy Friday is the Hallowed Day God molded the Key to setting man free.
On the Cross, by the shedding of His Blood, God pardons you and me.
That was the moment Love came down, touching the earth. God sending his Royal Crown.
A humble Man died on the Cross with all of Heaven looking down. The King Of Kings adorn that Crown.
Humanity was blinded by sin to what they had done.
They had no earthly clue that Truth had won.
Love conquered sin that very day when Jesus, God's son, began to pray.
Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do. I will light their way.
God gave man the greatest gift of all.
His Only Son, Jesus, who died for all.
The unexplainable good that came out of the bad that hallowed day
Is the gift of Eternal Life from God
to all who believe and pray.

Dust clouds and flying rock particles during detonator blast on the construction site in the middle east
From dust, I was made to dust. I will return
The chances are great I will end up in an urn
It costs too much to have a big old funeral
With a large casket spray of beautiful
Petunias
Nobody wants to spend my money on me
Wanting to transfer it into their Bank account you see
Well if the truth is told it's only gold
It matters nothing to me after I'm cold
I didn't bring anything into this world with me
I will take nothing with me when I'm set free

Have you heard the rest of the story
About how to get from here to glory
God sent His Son Jesus from up above
To show us the path to Glory with Love
It's simple if you know what to do
Bow your head on a bent knee asking him in
Jesus will come into your heart never more to part, always being a friend to you.

You can't sit on the fence and get the yard mowed on either side
You have to decide which yard to mow
Hop down and start to ride
Indecision Is one of the most significant detriments to humanity
The quicker the correct decision is made
The less time we have to be afraid

I have overwhelming Joy in my heart today
It was placed there by a Loving God to stay
It changed my life completely one day
Bowing my head and beginning to pray
Oh God, forgive me of my sins that I may walk closer to you each day

Sometimes the things that speak the loudest are not in the written word.
The thunderous voice comes from between the lines of what is not heard.
The silence of being close to a friend in need
Brings the Heart of God His love to bleed bleed
Caring and sharing that’s the most important
Lifting their feelings so their burdens will be shortened
It’s not what you can do or anything you can say
It’s your presence that lifts their troubles away
