Nothing tugs at the heart more than the loss of a friend
A Daddy, Mommy, Husband, Wife, there is no end
What can take the place of a love so entwined
Only The Love of God can comfort our mind
God's Love can mend the most broken
Pot
Remade into a perfect vessel without a blemish or spot
Thank you, God, for watching over me
Your Love mending and setting me free

If it is forbidden, the desire becomes out of control
Eve thought the forbidden would make her whole
Something I can't have, I pine for more and more
Being out of reach, my sin desires it even more
Sin is the desire for something beyond my means
Faith is the Eternal Hope for things unseen
Love and sin cannot live together
Sin binds my eternal soul
God's Son Jesus sent in Love freed me and made me whole

I have no silver or gold. Let me give you something of greater worth untold.
In the name of Jesus, God’s Love, and Mercy, I will give for all to behold
The Power of God's Mercy and Love is free to all men
Only Bowing to Him, asking His Son Jesus to come in
The Power of God's Love is immeasurable here on earth
It's one in the same power that created the whole universe
There is Power in the Blood that was shed for you and me
In that Blood is the Power of Love that sets all men free
Thank you, God, for creating us to Love
That, in turn, we may worship your Son from above

Life is much like a long, winding road
From birth till I reached my home abroad
Around each curve, an unpredictable scene
Whether exciting or sad, there is much in between
The longer the road, the more I've learned
Not to be surprised by the view around the turn
As the road comes to an end, I've found my faith being constantly tested
With all the ups and downs and many curves, my life has not been wasted
Along the way I found Jesus to hold my hand
Crossing the River of Jordan into the Holyland

In the realm of possibilities, a boundless view,
It's not what you can't do, but what you can do.
With strength in your spirit, like a river that flows,
Overcoming challenges, as the wind gently blows.
In each limitation, a seed of potential lies,
Blossoming into achievements beneath the open skies.
Embrace the power within, let your courage ignite,
For in every endeavor, you're capable of taking flight.
So, dance with ambition, let your dreams pursue,
It's not what you can't do, but what you can do.

In the grace of dawn, a prayer unfurls,
For Christians, gratitude in everyday swirls.
Each sunrise whispers, a hymn to say,
In their hearts, it's Thanksgiving Day.
Blessings counted like grains of sand,
Faith woven strong, a divine strand.
Every moment, a gift to hold,
A symphony of thanks, beautifully bold.
Through trials and triumphs, they find,
Reasons to praise, in heart and mind.
For in their journey, a sacred art,
Grateful souls, from the very start.
Not just a season, but a lifelong song,
In every echo, thanksgiving strong.
For Christian hearts, a constant ray,
Every day, their Thanksgiving Day.

My presence is all that is required
My most crucial attribute desired
All the words and knowledge in the world
Seems lacking at a time when grief is
Unfurled
A shoulder to lean on, a kind smile to embrace
An act of Love that portrays God's Love and Grace

Just being there with a smile on your face
Lifts my spirits through love to a higher place
It's not the monetary value that brings happiness
It's the tenderness of the heart that fills the emptiness
So, to make someone feel great today
Display a warm smile all along the way

Use it or lose it, I have always been told
Does that apply to the young and old
This makes sense for the physical aspects of my life
The stronger I will be, the more endurance I shall see
Does this apply to my spiritual life as well
If I don't use it, Will I spend eternity in hell
With repetitions of prayer and praise every day
I will be on the path to Heaven not far away
