In life I've fell so many times,
   to many different things;
I'd took a path down darkened road,
   no glint of hope or dreams.

I lived for self, a lonesome place,
   to be all my own man;
Til' Jesus found this broken soul,
   then took me by the hand.

He said "Don't fret, I've paid the price,
   Your sins they're all forgiven;
I've got a place to call your own,
   a Home all yours in Heaven."

He paid in blood for all my sins,
   to give me this new life;
To see the road I'd missed before,
   called living my life right.
  
I may have lived my life all wrong,
   in sin He must abhor;
Yet glory be to Calvary,
   I don't live there anymore!

Let's take the word "love"
  and study it close;
The most famous word
  in life I suppose!

It's taken for granted
  by most all of us;
It's said as an ending
  as we bicker and fuss!

We throw it to family
  as we walk out the door;
So misused by all-
  by rich and by poor!

We feel it has meaning,
  if used every day;
No matter how spoken,
  a word that we say!

I pray that you see it
  before it's too late;
Love is more than a word
  to throw at your mate!

It's not just a noun
  to be casually thrown,
It's FAR more than that
  when its physically shown!

There's one HUGE example
  how to show others love;
It's found in My God's Word,
  from Heaven above!

God sent His Son Jesus
  to die on a tree;
He bled on Mt. Calvary,
  to set us all free!

He hung on the cross
  for our sins to erase;
To save all our souls
  from the judgment we face.

God showed us the meaning
  of love on that day:
To sacrifice wholly
  ourselves all the way!

You see, He came down,
  from Heaven above;
To show us Himself-
  true meaning of love!!

Right now I found what I've not had,
    just since I found my place;
It's holding her so close to me,
   to see my angel's face.

You see, she's saved me many times,
   once heartbroke and alone;
She's mended now that broken heart,
   to soften heart of stone.

She means much more than most to me,
   my angel from above;
A package sent from God Himself,
    for only me to love.

Now when it comes a long days end,
   to keep her safe from harm;
I wrap her up and reap the joy
   of Heaven in my arms!

Some try so hard to do their best,
   some others just give in;
It's up to you to make the choice,
   to fall or fight to win!

We all have stumbled down at times,
   crushed loved ones in our wake;
They all deserve a better man,
   your life, the prize at stake!

There's family, friends and loved ones 'round,
   who'd die for you today;
For once to see you turn around,
   to head the other way!

They love their friend, their son or dad,
   they want what's best for you;
To step it up, to beat the odds,
   as only YOU can do!

Don't put it off, not one more day,
   to show them who you are;
Just fight to win the war ahead,
   keep reaching for the stars!

Now live each moment like your last,
   tomorrow may not come;
Yet dream a dream so big for now
   to conquer number One!

You feel at times you can't do right,
   no matter how you try;
Your broken heart so crushed it hurts,
    you're lost in silent cries

You fear the worst is yet to come,
   you struggle back the tears;
To end it all, but die alone,
   the worst of all your fears

It seems right now the pain won't stop,
   you'll never reach the end;
No joy no peace not now at all,
   no one to call your friend

The day has drug on far too long,
   but here's a bit of news;
I'm here right now, to share my strength,
   my heart will see you through

I know its been a lonesome road,
   you've traveled on so long;
But brighter days are just ahead,
   those darkened days all gone

Don't give up now, you must go on,
   My heart is here for you;
To be your friend, to build you up,
   to show what love can do!

It may be odd to some out there,
   to be this much in love;
But when your time is right you'll know,
   'cause words won't seem enough.

It sneaks in small, the quiet type,
    then rips your world apart;
Yet only in the best of ways,
    will true love leave its mark.

You'll find it best when in those times,
   you seem so unaware;
Just try to turn away from it
   or fight it if you dare.

It may seem weak to fall in love,
   such myths have proven wrong;
'Cause never once 'til I found you
   I've ever been this strong!

There's times in life that seem so hard,
   those days and weeks that never end;
So few of us can stand the torture,
   not to break but only bend.

We fight the wars among few others,
    stand alone in times we're tried;
To find the strength, to win each battle,
    stand for peace we've been denied.

We don't lose hope, keep pressing on,
   for those few things we know are right;
Keep truly focused on the future,
   forging on to win this fight.

Now as we lay our body down,
   find our self as though it seems;
Finally find that piece we longed for,
   restful sleep and peaceful dreams.
