I Live for God
Romans 14:7-8 I live for God Now and every day My life is a blessing I just can’t repay Don’t you see it on my face? Can’t you see it in my eyes? Don’t you hear it on my lips? His light I will not hide I live for God It wasn’t always so I used to live for me Not so long ago I knew what I wanted He knows what I need To have a life worth living I must follow His lead My life is a mist That fades with the dawn Through Him I have purpose Hope to carry on His ways are simple Though I…

A Cord of Three
Ecclesiastes 4:12 As I walk down the path of righteousness I see you walking there With both arms holding onto Him Letting go – you do not dare But I see myself on His other side Holding on as well Asking if I can have this chance To hold you for just a spell So I let go with one arm, and draw you close to me You let go with yours, and now we’re one, you see Between us winds the wonderful part The part that makes us strong The part that makes us free The tighter we hold Him the stronger we’ll be Can’t break this cord of…

Best Friends
Time has passed But I think of you every single day — Of your love for me My friend you’ll be For eternity The world turns So I pray for you each and every day — For joy and peace And love at least ‘Til the wedding feast We’d never met But you loved me more Than any ever had — You cared for my soul You were strong, You were bold And made sure The Truth was told The days go by And I talk about you every day — Of the love you shared And how much you cared My soul lays bare The Time will come When…

Give Thanks to the Lord
Give thanks to the Lord, Rejoice in His name. Blessed was the earth The day that He came. To save and protect us, He died on that day To bring us salvation And wash sins away. Our Savior is He And Champion o’er death; Proclaim His great name With every new breath! He suffered and died Then He rose up above; Let’s sing of His glory And tell of His love. Give thanks to the Lord; For us, He did die; And with Him our sins, Sing His name on high! He rose in great glory May all the world hear Of God and the story That’s told loud and…

I’ve Been Called
Matthew 28:18-20 The path lay straight My eyes are fixed on the road ahead But at my feet Lay the bones of those who have gone before It seems so clear The steps that I’ve been called to take But who can know What it’s like to walk in my shoes? But I’ve been called to make a difference Called to lead the way To dig beneath the surface of the smiles To find the hearts that have decayed To bring them hope and promise Of a love that never ends And the truth about a man whose blood Washes away our sins It’s plain to see What so many…

The Man I Want to Be
I look back in my mind and see always something new All I am and all I wish to be comes straight from you Every day, in every way, I see your heart in me The things I do — the words I say — The man I want to be No turning back — I must look ahead To what the future will bring You’ve brought me so far But there’s so much left And so much more to sing… When I look in my heart I feel so much has gone But the song you put in there for me just leads me on Now each day I…

The Seasons
In the spring, when blossoms are born and life begins anew, Two Hearts became as one, with their Spirits, too, as true. The trees, in chorus, sang in joy; the oceans roared their praise; Earth trembled in exhilaration with as much noise as she could raise. In the summer all was warmer, and though the wind had settled down, Life was frolicking in the sun as the world turned ’round and ’round. They sang and danced and laughed and played. Happiness was consuming. Unaware of the changing world that threatened their very being. In the fall came much confusion, and heartache, and distress. So much, in fact, this Heart was…

Together
Though the years just pass us by We watch them as they go But they leave behind the joys and pains That only we can know Together we make history Taking pictures along the way Reminders of yesterday — Taking our hopes and dreams along for the ride They say some things Improve with age Which is true of my Love for you One’s weakness overcome By the other’s strength… Together what we can do We’ve made mistakes but no regrets We’re learning as we go Marching toward undiscovered country While the winds of change blow Others stroll the walk of Life Searching for the unknown Some brought together, some…

Reflections
As raindrops fall upon the pool They shatter what was there They break apart a quiet thought With gentle care Rippling mirror — a fleeting view Magic reflections — where one becomes two Wonderful pictures — some old and some new When you see them for the first time You stop and stare And knowing they will come again Leaves promise in the air The water glimmers brilliantly A boy casts his line Time to wonder, time to dream Time out of mind Shimmering silence — a memory born Honest reflections will always be warm Magical feelings take shape and form When you feel them for the first time You…
