The sun just broke through eastern sky,
a soft and gentle breeze;
Such beauty, now is all around,
fall colors in the trees!

Each change in season make me think,
to search my heart and mind;
As if My God is showing me,
the things I've left behind!

As I was taught so very young,
God planted one more seed;
A life to grow, to flourish now
to rustle in the breeze!

I grew up fast to stand so tall,
to flourish in the spring;
I felt I had it all planned out,
to stay forever green!

Bad choices made and colors changed,
my leaves began to fall;
I felt I died within myself,
in life I'd lost it all!

I turned to God as winter came,
as cold winds filled my heart;
I begged and prayed for one more chance,
in life to hit my mark!

He answered me with springtime breeze,
now touched by Master's hand;
He strengthened me through seasons change,
to grow a better man!

You never know just when in life
one word will have a mark;
To help someone, to save a life,
to mend a shattered heart!

So often times in passing by,
someone along your way;
The slightest gesture possible,
could change a life today!

You don't know what they're goin' through,
unless you take the time;
To listen, help, encourage them
to walk a different line!

With shattered dreams and broken hearts,
they feel they can't go on;
Unless you ask, you'll never know,
until they're dead and gone!

Now when you see them passing by,
so bogged down with despair;
Just take the time to lend a hand
to help them up from there!

So try it now, to show you care,
for those along the way;
This might be it, your only chance,
to help someone today!

To help them grow, to flourish now,
to plant, if just one seed;
the smallest hope, an answered prayer
may be just all they need!

In world we live sometimes it's hard,
to shine above the rest;
No matter what, just strive to help,
to always do your best!

You're not alone in life you live,
there's souls along the way;
Who try so hard to get it right,
if only for today!

They're buried deep in troubles now,
they've fallen yet again;
They're lost at sea and fading fast,
so trapped by self within.

They feel there's just no end in sight,
there's just no hope at all;
The worst of thoughts now cross their mind
no further more to fall!

Now this your time to lend a hand,
small word, a helpful deed;
The fewest words could save that life
of friend so bad in need!

Just listen while they tell you all,
their troubles, pain and strife;
Then do your best to pick them up,
brush off the dirt of life!

To help someone, to save a life,
to mend one broken heart;
Will help you shine above all else
in life just do your part!

Have you ever thought about it,
where you'll go to when you die?
Do you have a Home in Heaven
far beyond the clear blue sky?

Have you ever asked forgiveness
for each sin you sinned today?
See My Jesus died Calvary,
His forgiveness paved the way!

Could have called a million angels
but not once He ever tried;
Bore the weight of ALL our sins there,
on the cross, He hung and died!

As He drew His very last breath,
with a spear stuck in His side;
Paid the price for ALL us sinners
Heaven's gate He opened wide!

Why not ask Him for forgiveness,
ask Him in your heart to stay;
Then the Home you'll have in Heaven
He'll prepare for you today!

Now you'll have a humble mansion,
waiting for you in the sky;
Then you'll never have to question,
where you'll go now when you die!

Oh what glorious day will be then
when the rapture finally comes;
When we're called up home to Heaven,
all our fighting here is done!

Be prepared for just that moment,
could be morning, night or noon;
Oh, to hear those trumpets sounding,
Heaven's Angels all in tune!

For that day the Heaven's open,
there's no time to say goodbye;
Hear those chariot wheels a soundin',
see My Savior in the sky!

Can you feel the anthem mounting
hear now Heaven's jubilee;
Can't you picture just that moment,
Angels far as eye can see?

Now the saints on Earth all ready,
for the dead in Christ to rise;
See a glimpse of happy faces,
headed Home beyond the skies!

You've not asked my Lord's forgiveness,
find your knees without delay;
Ask Him now to be your Savior,
for your sins the price is paid!

All the rich and poor now equal
doesn't matter wealth or fame;
When the roll is called up yonder
will my Jesus call YOUR name?

Now in this school called life we live,
recovery the test;
What will it be from here on out,
sobriety or death?

It may sound harsh to say like that,
but down this road we chose;
There's nothing good, just broken hearts
so many more lost souls!

It's time we see the pain we've caused
our loved one's shattered hearts;
You may not feel it's quite this bad
but drugs HAVE left their mark!

Each moment lost with all your loves,
one purpose, to get high;
You may not have but one more chance
before your last goodbye!

Lost family, friends and others 'round,
this sorrow, pain and strife;
Each one effects of choices made
in game that some call life!

It's time we made our mind up now,
as only WE can do;
To give up all these hurtful things,
in life to just be YOU!

Let's make a pact to live again,
let love and life abound;
To put behind our past mistakes
to live for here and now!

So why'd you have to leave me now,
this moment FAR too soon;
Your time on Earth but for a day,
from morning just till noon!

You lived your life so full of joy
in just a few short years;
These thoughts of you still bring a smile
yes, even through the tears!

You made the best of life itself,
could handle anything;
You keep me sailing high each day-
the wind beneath my wings!

Not sure how I will make it now,
I'm feeling oh so cold;
I feel I had you next to me,
just not so long ago!

I know you're with my Jesus now,
you're walking Heaven's shore;
Though I still miss you everyday,
I'm healing more and more!

I'll hold your memory close to me,
those hugs so full of love;
I'll see you soon when trumpets sound,
My Angel up above!
