True happiness is accepting Jesus
and his precious love,
he wants to take you from darkness
and show you the way.
Just raise your hands to God
in heaven above,
please come into my life
sweet Jesus I pray.
As you wander through your life
troubled and lost,
your so heavy burdened
you fear all hope is gone.
Hear the voice of the man
who paid the cost,
he is trying to let you know
your not alone.
Once you give your life to Jesus
your happiness begins,
when you except him as your savior
with all your heart.
Keep your eyes turned toward heaven
and away from ungodly sins,
and from you your precious father
will never part.
Brothers and sisters from every nation
God is reaching out for you,
to save you from the devil
and his sin.
Don't wait till it's to late
on that judgment day,
when he opens heavens gates
to let us in.
May Gods loving Grace
be with us always and forever
Amen.

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!
Close by the door my body pauses to stand,
as you take my breath away just by the touch of your hand.
My eyes watching yours as our lips kiss but not speak,
as you make a single tear run down my cheek.
Memories of moments when we have fun,
as we make love beneath the shinning sun.
Remembering only our hearts must be free,
so from here on we can't hurt each other you see!
You say you love me I pray it isn't a lie,
please don't stay around long enough to make me cry.
Don't take my love and throw it away
and then come for me just on your lonely days!
Because you know I'll always care,
for the love I have in my heart for you
will always be there.
So please don't just use me and then walk away,
for my heart will always remember you even on my dying day.

HOLIDAY TIME
It's that time of year
The Holidays are near
Some will face it with fear
Others will fill it with cheer
There will be Turkeys and
dressing
Some will have ham
Maybe even a leg of lamb
There will be families together
No matter the weather
There will be happiness and
sadness
Among all the madness
When its all over we will
holler and cheer
It will be the start of a
brand new year

COME WALK WITH ME UP CALVARY
Come walk with me up Calvary,
Where Jesus bled and died.
Where on the cross, between two thieves
Our Lord was crucified.
Come see them nail his precious hands
And feet unto the tree,
And thrust the spear into his side.
‘Twas done for you and me.
Come see the soldiers casting lots;
The Saviours seamless robe to take.
While sitting down, ‘they watched him there’.
Dying for all their sakes.
Come listen to him call aloud
To his Father up in heaven.
‘Father forgive them’ he did cry,
And this sin was forgiven.
Come hear the heaven’s thunder roll,
As the Temple Veil was rent.
The dead came forth, from out their graves.
But few knew what it meant.
So dying there between two thieves;
The spotless Lamb was slain.
‘It is finished’, was his final cry,
‘Father glorify thy name’.
Come kneel with me at Calvary,
The Saviour now receive.
His blood will wash away your sins,
The moment you believe.

BLESS THE WOUNDS, THE WOUNDS OF MY JESUS
Bless the wounds, the wounds of My Jesus
Blessed the Cross where Jesus was nailed
Bless His Hands, Bless His Feet, Bless His Side pierced with a lance.
Bless His Head pierced with Thorns
Bless His Shoulder that carried My Cross
Bless The Wounds, the Wounds of My Jesus
Jesus said,
Father forgive them, they know not what
they do, Father into Your Hands I commend My Spirit.
Jesus told the men next to Him, this day you will be
with me in Paradise.
Bless the Wounds, the Wounds of My Jesus, who died and
suffered for me. Bless My holy Anointed One who came to
die for My Sins.
Bless the Wounds, the Wounds of My Jesus, Praise and
Bless and Thank You, Jesus, I Love You, Jesus.

THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time"

GIFTS THAT LAST A LIFETIME
God gave us gifts to pass along
The gift of JOY is the Angel's song,
PRAISE is a gift that cheers the heart,
Young and old can have a part.
PEACE is what our world needs,
Don't delay and plant some seeds.
The gift of HOPE will show you care,
For those who's burdens bring despair.
FAITH is passed from one to another,
Timothy received it from his mother.
LOVE is a gift of one's self,
Don't leave it hidden on a shelf.
Jesus is the gift of Amazing Grace,
No other one can take its place

JUST THINK OF A WORLD
Just think of a world, a world without tears
where anyone can live a million years
with never a grief, an ache or a pain
And never a thought of dying again.
Just think of a world, without bloodshed and strife
where no one shall molest or take another's life
Where everyone is united in peace
malice and hatred will forever cease.
Just think of the earth, as a global paradise
where mountain and desert will dazzle your eyes
with beautiful flowers, shrubbery and trees
with butterflies, songbirds, and buzzing bees.
Just think of a world, where a lame will leap
from crag to crag like the deer or the sheep
Where no one is deaf and no one is blind
where the mute will speak and say what's on his mind.
Just think of a world, where man is his own brother
not putting himself above that of another
Where man unto man will be friend to friend
In a world of paradise that will never end.
Man made our world of strife and of pain
Living their lives for only their gain
But Jesus made our world with peace and with love
That brings us joy from heaven above.
Just think of a world...
