PLACE CALLED HEAVEN

 


No more death or grave,

no more tears to shed.

No more worries or fears,

we know what's ahead.


No more needs or desires,

no more division or hate.

No more darkness or sadness,

our new home will be great.


No more problems or troubles,

no more sorrow or pain.

No more bitterness or jealously,

only love will remain.


No more stress or burdens.

that filled our day.

No more grieving or illness,

it will pass away.


So we patiently wait,

for Jesus to return.

That day will come,

we know by his word.


We have this assurance,

Jesus will come again.

He'll take us home,

to a place called heaven.

TIMES DO CHANGE

 


There's a time of joy,

you want it to last.

But then someone dies,

it's now in the past.

So it's a time of grief,

you face the unknown.

The doubt creeps in.

and now you're alone.

TIMES DO CHANGE,

LIKE THE BIBLE PROCLAIMS.

BUT WE ALL KNOW,

GOD IS STILL THE SAME.

GOD IS STILL WORKING,

SO RESIST ANY DOUBT.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,

HE WILL WORK IT OUT.

    There's a time of love,

with family and friends.

But then there's dissension,

and the bickering begins.

So it's a time of conflict,

that now you're in.

The feud continues,

and there's no end.

TIMES DO CHANGE,

LIKE THE BIBLE PROCLAIMS.

BUT WE ALL KNOW,

GOD IS STILL THE SAME.

GOD IS STILL WORKING,

SO RESIST ANY DOUBT.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,

HE WILL WORK IT OUT.

There's a time of wealth,

that you long desired.

But then illness strikes,

and surgery is required.

So it's a time you dread,

your health was taken.

Your anxiety kicks in,

your emotions are shaken.

TIMES DO CHANGE,

LIKE THE BIBLE PROCLAIMS.

BUT WE ALL KNOW,

GOD IS STILL THE SAME.

GOD IS STILL WORKING,

SO RESIST ANY DOUBT.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER,

HE WILL WORK IT OUT.

KATHY'S QUEST

 


Kathy had a desire, 

not just for anything.

But life of significance,

it would mean everything.

What could it be?

was always on her mind.

So she took a trip,

and left her possessions behind.


She traveled to see,

a well known preacher.

Famous for words of wisdom,

that could really help her.

The preacher stood nearby,

teaching on God's word.

Tears filled Kathy's eyes,

on the message she heard.


"That Jesus loves you,

he wants to help you."

"He is your savior.

so believe it's true."

Kathy gave her life,

to her savior Lord.

She was forgiven,

and her soul restored.


Kathy's back home again,

all because she prayed.

She has a new life, 

since she was saved.

She found her purpose,

now she looks ahead.

She gave up her ways,

and do God's will instead.

AND THE TEARS I SHED.

START WITH PRAYER

 


     I bow my head,

I start to pray.

I ask the Lord,

to help me today.

I know he will,

I really believe.

I rely on him,

for everything I need.


So every morning,

before I start,

I pray to the Lord,

with an open heart.

Then something happens,

I can't explain.

I raise my voice,

and praise his name.


I get this feeling,

I need to stand.

I take this moment,

to raise my hand.

I feel his presence,

I start to sing.

I thank the Lord,

for every good thing.


I pull out my bible,

I start to read.

The promise he made,

he will always lead.

So wherever I go, 

I live by this faith.

The Lord is with me,

with each step I take.
