Suspicion

No one is above suspicion
Seeking it leaves a plank in my eye
God is suspicious of no one
He knows our every cry

If I'm always looking for suspicion
It takes the limelight from me
By looking elsewhere, others won't see the truth in me

My own thing going

Well I’ve got my own thing going
I never want to stop roaming

I’m happy as a bird out of a cage 
I feel every day like I’m on stage

Nothing can ever happen to me
I’m in control of everything you see

Then one day, I was blinded by a light
I said God, why did you pick me tonight

My son earthly happiness you have
It is short-lived if you don’t misbehave 

I bring eternal Joy that will last beyond the grave
If you believe in my Son Jesus, whom to you I gave

Going Home

Being a great distance away, headed toward home 
My heart burns for loved ones never more to roam

I've squandered away much of my life
Traveling to many places caused much strife

My blinded eyes are now open, seeing the error of my ways
Returning home, I am hoping for forgiveness and praise

I found God; He forgave me of my sin
Praying that my family forgives me again

Inflation

Dollar currency growth concept with upward arrows on charts and coins background.
Inflation is a scary term of concern
Prices are on the rise everywhere you turn

No matter what it is, the prices keep climbing up
There never seems to be much coffee in my cup

There is one commodity not affected by inflation
The plan of God, which includes saving salvation 

It’s always been free. There will never be a charge
God planned it that way for your heart to enlarge

Sending His Son Jesus to set me free
Extending my life through eternity

The topper

Ever met an individual who topped everyone they met?
Having much better than all, they never let you forget.

It's strange what an overinflated ego will create.
An unusual atmosphere of distasteful hate.

Very little can be accomplished about this situation.
Until their ego is deflated by old fashion salvation.

This change does not occur very often.
Most take it with them in their beautiful coffin.

He touched me

He touched me. Not knowing why
Feeling Love, I could only begin to cry

He touched me when I least expected 
Knowing in my heart, He is resurrected 

Feeling His Power flow through me
not explaining how he set me free

Praising and thanking Him every day
For Only Jesus, never being far away 

Kneeling continually Praising His Name
Crying out, He delivers me from shame

You can start this very day anew
Bowing you're head beginning to pray

Asking Jesus to come in and stay
Bringing new life to this body of clay

His Joy and peace make me whole
Never doubting the destiny of my soul

My joyous task lying ahead 
Shouting Jesus is not dead

G-D

Have you ever heard the term G-D
It seems like a sinful thing to say
Using this term shows your lack of respect for God; you will have to pay

Knowing how powerful God is and what He can do
There is a possibility Great harm will come to you

When you think about it. G-D is just missing the circle of Love, “O” in the middle
Pondering on this might solve a lifelong riddle 

God's Love is never-ending through this life and beyond
It's up to me to accept him with a never-ending bond

In the midst of it all

Have I ever been troubled with nowhere to turn
Have I ever been so excited that my heart burns

With the ups and downs of my life here on earth
God has been in the midst of it all since my birth

Thanking Him every day for walking with me in the valleys and on the hills
When He walks with me night and day, He keeps me from many spills

In the midst of it all, I can hearing his call wherever I go
No matter where I find myself in life
Constantly feeling His love flow

The load I bear

Oh Lord, you know the load I bear
Oh Lord, you know my every care

Walking with you, my load is lighter
Walking with you, my path is brighter

Knowing you will never leave or forsake me
Gives me the endurance to sail the stormy sea

Feeling your love all along the way
Gives me the strength to pray every day

Bowing my head, thanking You for saving me from sin
I worship and praise you knowing the race I will win
