God is so Good

God is so good; I do not understand
Living everlasting in the shadow of His hand

He never leaves; he never leaves me alone
From this world, my spirit will have flown

I’m ready to meet my maker when I’m gone
I will see His shining face at the break of Dawn

Death will not stop me. I will forever keep serving Him 
God's brilliant shining light in me will never grow dim

Thank you, God, for the forgiveness of sin
That I might live forever from your love within

The Touch

The tender touch of a mother's hand
When by her child, she does stand

Worth more than medicine known to man 
God gives healing  through His great plan

A man knows nothing compared to our Maker above.
His will for us comes from His Devine Love

The love of God comes through the tender touch of a loving Mother’s hand
It begins the Heavenly healing, which we will never begin to understand. 

Prayer is more powerful than any force on earth.
Being so destined, many prayed for me since birth.

With Gods Love from above and my family here on earth
I've been divinely protected since my earthly birth.

The Chimes of Time

Hearing the chimes of time in my heart
From my Almighty God, I will never depart 

The closer I get, the clearer the sound
Oh Lord, I know I'm Heavenly bound

The Majestic music welling up in my soul
Givings an incredible feeling of Divine control

As my time grows shorter here on earth 
excitement swells for my Heavenly birth

Approaching that far off distant shore
Feeling His warm Love more and more

The closer I get, the clearer I see
There's my family waiting for me

The songs of praise can’t be explained
Hearing the sounds of a crystal refrain 

Thank God, Thank God I've won the race 
Only being redeemed through Jesus' Grace

Home, at last, Home, at last, unable to explain the glorious feeling within 
Bowing my head, thanking God for His Son, Jesus, who bore my sin.

Jesus

Jesus, Just the mention of His name 
Will remove all my worldly shame

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
brings more love than I can acclaim 

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
will miraculously remove all my sin

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Will bring unexplained peace within

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Conquered my death when He came

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Living forever, continually praising Him

Listen, Trust, Obey

Listen trust and obey for there's no other way. 
If in His loving arms, I want to stay

Listening is the most important of the three
Without intensive listing, I will never see

Trusting comes from faith in Almighty God
Without faith, there is no light on the path I trod

Obeying comes from the love I see
With Jesus, the Son of God, living in me

Jesus came to visit

Jesus came to visit. Was I embarrassed by what he did see?
Did my surroundings make him proud of me?

Would I have changed anything before He came by?
After entering, did he look around and say why?

He said He would be back, and I am greatly concerned. 
Will I have time to clean up my act before He returns? 

I only have one choice but to start now. 
I am urgently asking God to help somehow. 

After listening to what God had to say
I invited Jesus in without delay

Suffering

Suffering has different meanings, I must say
Suffering for good or bad depending on the day

I may suffer in training to win a race I've won
I may suffer for making mistakes I shouldn't have done

How I choose to suffer is in my hands
Deciding on the most appropriate plans. 

Always looking for love and light
Discarding the evil of the night

Suffering is lessened along the way,
by loving The Lord more each day.
