Walking on Sunshine

Have you ever felt you were walking on Sunshine
Being filled with God's Glorious Love so divine

It's not often the Spirit of God touches our hearts
The feeling comes after prayer and worship starts 

The joy that comes in is most  unexplained
Releasing us from our sins where we were chained

Feeling light as a feather praising his name
Constantly praising God from whence Love came

Victory through despair

Victory comes slowly, often through despair 
Trudging along the race, a medal waiting somewhere

The satisfaction that comes is not from winning or losing. 
It simply comes from the race we are choosing. 

The race of life is never won until the end becomes clear 
Passing through the shadow of death, Jesus is so near

Striving for the finish line in Heaven above
God awarded the trophy of his Eternal Love

Who was and is and is to come

Who could be in the past and now and in the future somehow
My mind cannot conceive the beginning or the end, only the now

Who was and is and is to come might very well be where I came from
I can only patiently wait and see the Glorious things to come

My concept of Almighty God Is 
the feeling of his Glorious Love
Who was and is and is to come I can not fathom from above

I never

There are lots of things I've never done
Not enough time to name them one by one

Should it make any difference not completing the task
Why should I even take the time to stop and ask

Looking ahead, I should complete the list I want to do
To keep them from being in the past of the things I didn't do

Humility

Humility is so misunderstood. It makes no sense to be humble even if I could. 
The more humble I become, God lifts me higher to show where I stood

The less you are, the Greater you become
being so thankful for every little crumb

Happiness is of this earth. Joy comes from God through His Son's birth. 
Joy comes from God in any situation, I find myself here on earth.

Humble yourself like little children, the book of truth says
Looking around in the whole world, everything is His

We Honor and give Him Homage for everything we have. 
Blessing us every day, blessing through the grave.

If you had walked

If you had walked where I have walked
You might understand 
All this time, who has been holding my weary hand

It’s impossible to see a spirit lending a helping hand
It’s only possible to feel that spirit from a foreign land

Many a time, crossroads appeared ahead
The correct path revealed by what the Master said

Keeping my eyes on Jesus and looking straight away
He will lead me into the promised land without delay

Keeping my eyes on Jesus, He loves me every day 
Following and trusting Him is the only divine way

Oh Lord

Oh Lord, please give peace without pain
Joy without sorrow that I might Heaven gain

Oh Lord, please give understanding where there is confusion 
Please give forgiveness where there is no resolution 

Please give sight to my soul that I may be made whole
Please give me a glimpse of Your Love
That I may guide my soul

Oh Lord, extend me Your Glory and Grace
That someday I may see your Heavenly face

Good Infection

Love symbol in the sand at the beach
Is Almighty God’s Everlasting Love infectious 
Like some infections, it leaves us breathless. 

Some infections are airborne some are waterborne
God’s good infection of Love travels Bloodborne

A good infection is unheard of today
A person infected with love will pray

Prayer will bring joy and peace within 
Bringing eternal life to live with Him
