Where is Jesus

Has anyone seen Jesus today
Have you seen a baby cry
Did you see a Mother comfort her child with a tear in her eye

Did you see some help an older person in someway 
Did you see someone give directions 
To a person that didn't know the way

Have you seen someone show love along the way
Did someone share with and care for the homeless today 

If you did bow your head and say thank you, God, I saw your son today

Only Jesus

I feel sorry I can not save your soul, give you Eternal Life or Make you whole. 
Only Jesus, the Son of the living God, can bring God's love into your soul. 

By faith alone, you invite Him in and Walk with Him
He alone is the light that keeps your sight from growing dim

The Amazing Grace of God reaches down when you open the door
Giving you everlasting life and freeing you from the burden of sin for evermore

Alone

When something comes along, you can't handle alone
Where do you turn? Does your Heart turn to stone 

When something comes along, you can't handle alone
Is it because you walk without Jesus that You are alone

He promised never to leave me. Never leave me alone
He gives me everlasting peace. 
He promised never to leave me alone

When I draw my last breath and head on home
He Will be with me; I will never be alone

He never Died. He never lied

He never died. He never lied. 
Spanning the sands of time
He holds me in his arms 
The many times I cry

He is Love beyond Love
Hope beyond Hope
I trust Him with my Heart and Soul
I trust his Devine Love that makes me whole

Thank you God Thank you God
For making me that I might worship thee

Thank you God for caring enough 
To set me free

White trash

Does white trash refer to the garbage from people in their house
Does white trash refer to the social status of the people in my house

In either case, it does not appear to be very nice
It's best I do not judge anyone by their trash

The good book says not to judge; It will bring judgment back on me
The moral of this story, I must say
Mind your own business and your trash will be set free

Tell it like it is

Do I tell it like it is
Do I fudge in what I say

Do I ask God to direct me all the time
Lord, help me tell the truth today

For if only the truth I say
The reality in Jesus is the only way

Thank you, God, for giving me the words
Truthfulness will set me free as a bird

I bow my head and say
Thank you, God, for the strength you give today

The span of Time

It's not the span of my life. 
It's the span of my wings. 
With the flight I will take, I will
Hear music from my heartstrings 

Choosing to be positive through my 
pain
Will most surely increase my heavenly gain

The trials here on this  earth 
develops my spiritual worth

Age makes no difference as I approach my end of time
It's not my physical body that will accompany me through eternal time

God gives  me enough wisdom, love, peace, and grace 
To travel with me through this endless time and space

Thank you, God, for being so near
As I shed a painful tear
Thank you, God. I can see my Peaceful Rest is so very near.

U-Turn

Are you at point A traveling to point B
Are your glasses fogging up so you can't see

Don't make any dangerous U-Turns that will put you in harm's way. 
That could very well bring the end to your day

Someone might call you stupid and give you the California Howdy
Oh Lord, keep him from being so rowdy
