Oh yes I'm proud to know for sure,
   I'm goin' Home one day;
But Lord I've got just one request,
   'bout where I'm gonna stay.

You see My Lord you know quite well,
   I'm country through and through;
I have these big 'ole hopes and dreams,
   'bout being there with you.

I know you've got a place for me,
   huge mansion in the sky;
But livin' big ain't ne'er been me,
   no matter how I try!

I'd like to make a bit o' trade:
   my mansion, harp and crown;
For just a simple cabin placed
   on outside edge of town!

I'll give up walking streets of gold,
   for pathway through the woods;
As long as Heavens where I'm at,
   my friends and I'll be good!

I ask for just a piece of land,
    the place I'll hang my wings;
A porch with hooks up in the roof,
  to hold my wife's 'ole swing!

A view of hills with grass so green,
   in shade of big 'ole trees;
The smell of sap caught in the wind,
   will be alright with me!

A mother's love is not just love,
   it's more than that you see;
It's closer to agape love,
   my mother's love to me.

She never failed to wrap me up,
   when ere I felt some pain;
To make the bad turn into good,
   her hugs were all the same.

She picked me up those times I fell,
   brushed off that dirt of life;
She stood by me no matter what,
   for me she'd stand and fight.

I'll always be her baby boy,
   from birth all through my years;
My friend, my hero, queen of hearts,
   my mother oh so dear!

There's one thing I must share with you,
I've learned I can depend
On certain people in my life,
My family and my friends!
I thank you for not judging me
As sin in life I trod
Instead you knelt and prayed that soon
I'd give my life to God!
I'm thankful that you stood by me
Through sorrow, pain and strife
You've never let me hurt alone
Not one time in my life!
I thank you for encouraging me
As Jesus worked on me
I hope that you now know down deep
I'll forever thankful be!
I'm thankful for the love you've shown
A blessing from above
A package that My God sent down
A taste of His own love!
I thank you for your prayers for me
For lifting up my name
Without your friendship in my life
I'd never be the same!
I'm thankful for best friends like you
On whom I now depend,
A special friendship sent from God,
My faithful lifetime friend!

I tell you now, in all my life,
   not once I ever knew;
That love could bring such peace of mind,
   'til moment I found you!

Oh sure I dreamed that one day soon,
   I'd find that special girl;
But never dreamed I'd meet someone,
   who'd change my whole wide world!

You've more than made me happy now,
   you've softened this 'ole heart;
You may not know how much til now,
   on me you've left your mark!

You've turned my clouds to sunny days,
   my winter into spring;
Gave strength in times I'd fallen weak,
   breathed wind beneath my wings!

So when times comes, He calls me Home,
   or die before I wake;
I'll wait for you so patiently,
   right there at Heaven's Gate!

I'd like to say a few quick words,
   what's really on my mind;
I feel almost upset right now,
   it's me you left behind!

I know it was your time to go,
   my Jesus called you Home;
But still I feel so crushed inside,
   without you and alone!

I've tried so hard to just move on,
    but nothing feels just right;
Your in my thoughts and prayers each day,
    as well as dreams at night!

I think back through the years gone by,
   and all our memories made;
To make it through another year,
   no, more like day to day!

I see you still at times I think,
    then realize I'm a fool;
I know it's just a trick of mind,
   but still it seems so cruel!

I guess right now you know how bad,
   my missin' you has been;
I'd give up every thing in life,
   to hold you once again!

So when I lost you here with me,
    there's one sure thing I know;
That Heaven gained a precious gem,
    when Heaven gained your soul!

Let's take a stroll here in this time,
    a stroll through Glory Land;
To paint a masterpiece of old,
   by brush in Master's Hand.

The background hails of purest blue,
   in Heaven's by and by;
No beauty matches close on earth,
   to yonder in the sky.

A pathway marked by shining light,
   each soul anticipates;
What grandest beauty He'll unveil,
   behind those pearly gates.

They're opened now so step inside,
   to see all glory there;
To feel no pain, no hurt at all,
   nor shed but one more tear.

The blind will see the lame man walk,
   first step on purest gold;
Each one of those who've lost a love
   will have them there to hold.

Our Lord and King will shed His Light,
    with Him we're soon to stand;
That oh so glorious day,
   we'll see our Beulah Land!

There's somethin' 'bout this girl I love,
   she's more than right for me;
A bit of crazy mixed with love,
   but fills my every need!

She's full of fire, don't make her mad,
   o sure, she's always right;
But that's my girl, the only one,
   near perfect in my sight!

You see, my girl is so **** cute,
   an angel in my eyes;
She's Heaven sent straight from My God,
    to match my every stride!

A friend to most, a queen to me;
   she shows me that she cares;
When every day she makes me smile,
   with love you'll naught compare.

She's so much more than just my world,
   she's more than just a lady;
My Father formed her just for me...
   my perfect kind of crazy!!

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!!

There's one thing now I know in life;
   My God will answer prayer.
He watches 'ore me night and day,
   my burdens for to bear!

He's willing to forgive my sin,
   if simply I will ask;
He'll heal the wounds, the broken hearts,
   and leave them in the past!

Don't worry 'bout those little things,
   just give them all to God;
He'll show you He is in control
   in ANY life we trod!

When ever feeling all alone,
   just trust in this one thing-
My God is always by your side;
   your sheltered 'neath His wing!

He's sure to let some hard times come,
   He let's us feel some pain;
He'll make our hearts more pliable,
   with heat from trial's flame!

Don't EVER get so down and out
   and think He's left your side,
Just turn and look - He's standing there,
   with arms spread open wide!

So think about this in your life,
   when Satan means you harm;
My God has got you safely wrapped-
   in comfort of His Arms!

All through the years I ran from God,
  I lived my life my way;
As family friends and loved ones prayed,
   I'd turn to God one day!

He watched 'ore me as hard I ran,
   He kept me safe and sound;
Just as I ran the other way,
   He turned my life around!

This one lost sheep had went astray,
   My Shepherd brought me in;
Back safe into His Fold again,
   He rescued me from sin!

My God reached down in darkest depths,
He plucked from Satan's bind,
New life he gave me on the that day
   to follow His design!

Such grace and peace He fills me with,
   my heart doth overflow;
Since I began to walk with Him,
   such joy I came to know!

It's all because He loved and cared,
   He kept me safe from harm;
He gives me now such comfort and
   sweet solace in His arms!

Yes through it all He stood by me,
   He never let me fall-
So far from Him I couldn't hear
   My Shepherd's beckon call!

In life you feel you've hit a wall,
  there's something just not right?
Look to My God, He'll stand by you
  to help you win the fight!

He made you who you are today,
  He knows your every need,
He wants to talk with you right now;
  if just His Book you'll read!

You see He knows whats best for you,
  He's got a bigger plan;
He cheers you on from Heaven's Throne
  My God's your biggest fan!

So as you feel your all alone
  get on your knees in prayer;
My God the ruler of everything
  is waiting for you there!

Just how well do you know My God?
   He's the Ruler of everything,
He's Almighty and Omnipotent;
   My Jesus Lord and King!

He made the earth with spoken word,
   all just in seven days;
He formed the moon; each star in space,
   He set a certain way!

Not long from then, My Jesus came,
   as a little Baby Boy;
He came to earth to show us how,
   to live for Him with joy!

Here on this earth, He marveled us;
   as displaying God's Own power,
He taught us how to love and give,
   to pray near every hour!

He took five fish, and broke five loaves,
   then thousands did He feed;
He showed His men what true faith was,
   by walking on the sea!

So many had doubt when Moses said,
   "My God will make a way!"
God parted the sea, they walked right through,
   then Pharaoh's men He slayed!

He healed the sick, made blind men see,
   with touch of His dear hand;
He led the Jews through wilderness,
   on to the promised land!

He died for us on Calvary,
   our sins became His pain;
He washed away each one for us,
   then later rose again!

I hope you'll see how special He is,
   My Lord, My King, My God;
He touched the lives of millions here,
   on earth and far abroad!

Your lying here right by my side
Wrapped snugly in my arms
Your sleeping sound just knowing that
I'll keep you safe from harm!
You make me feel like Hercules
Or strong as superman
Cause when life gets a little tough
You leave it to my plan!
I'll always hold you tight and safe
I'll stick to you like glue
You ever feel a bit alone,
Just look, I'm here for you!
I took my place right by your side
Just on our wedding day
I promised you I'd honor you
In each and every way!
I know I've let you down some times-
Forgive me for the past
Just give me one more chance to build
A love to always last!
It won't take long to prove to you
I'll never leave again
I'll stand with you and hold you tight
From now till very end!
So as you lay right here beside
Lost only in your dreams
Know I'll  be here through all our life
And show what true love means!

I've heard about this all my life,
   my Home in Beulah Land;
Those pearly gates and streets of gold,
   all formed by Your own hand.

I hear You've built a mansion there,
   a special place for me;
Its on a hill with greenest grass,
   beside a Crystal Sea!

Now Lord don't take this wrong at all,
   I'm thankful for all things;
But since I'm just a country boy,
   a mansions not my dream.

A little place, just outside town,
   surrounded by huge trees;
The sounds of nature at my door,
   would be morefit for me!

A broken down old picket fence;
   with squeaky wooden gates;
A muddy road not travel worn,
    to me would five star rate!

A tire swing hung 'round a branch,
   the buzz of honeybees;
A bed so full of daffodils,
   a few small dogwood trees.

A cozy place to call my Home,
   a noisy front porch swing;
No more I'd want for all of time,
   but place to hang my wings!

You see My Lord, not hard to please,
    I'm just a simple man;
A cabin made from Heavn'ly logs,
   now THAT'D be Glory Land!

I've never found a love like yours
Here's what your love is worth
You share a love that's far past good
A hint of Heaven on earth!
I'm filled so full of emotions now
Just heard your voice again
Each time I hear that precious sound
I feel my heart give in!
You love me unconditionally
Through all mistakes I've  made
You pray My Lord would help me when
It seems I'd lost my way!
You stood by me though hard it's been
A pillar in life's sand
Each time I stumbled down again
You lent a helping hand!
With love like yours I'll never know
The feeling of alone
Whenever I was feeling down
Such comfort you have shown!
So as I write these words right now
I'm fumbling for the words
To show you everything you are
Yet one things just occured-
You're more than good, far more than great
You're sent from God above
To show me each and everyday
A touch of Heavenly Love!

If love is what you're looking for,
   I've got the magic potion;
It starts with trust and discipline,
   then ends with full devotion!

It comes with lending all your time,
    just giving up yourself;
To show the one who means the most,
   their love means more than wealth!

You must forgive each other's wrongs,
   don't live in times gone past;
You've got to focus on today,
   for ANY love to last!

Now show her that a passion burns,
   for her inside your heart;
Romance her with your love each day,
   a love to never part!

Don't ever leave her when you're mad,
   not one foot out that door;
Until you've made ammends with her,
   don't ever leave her sore!

Now spend some time in prayer each day,
   get on your knees with God;
Then hand in hand together walk,
   the road not often trod!

You take to heart these words I say,
   to make a simple plan,
In love you'll be a Hercules-
   to her, a Superman!!

Have you ever stopped to think,
   if tomorrow never comes;
Will your family know you love them,
   when your last day here is done?

Do you fill your life with earthly things,
   or work your life away;
Thinking money, fame or fortune,
   will get you through each day?

There's not one thing up on this earth,
   even those things God has given;
You can take with you upon your walk,
   through those pearly gates of Heaven!

God placed those loved ones in your care,
   He thought you'd do your best;
Have you nurtured, taught and loved them all?
   If not you've failed His test!

Now love, you see, is not a word,
   to be thrown at them each night;
But wrap them up many times each day,
   and forever hold on tight!

When you're angry, mad or hateful,
   thoughts floating in your head;
Don't say those words you're thinking now,
   but go to God instead!

Just show your family often,
   hug and hold them every day-
How much you love each one of them,
   then together kneel and pray!

Just ask My Lord, whose on His throne,
   to guide you from above;
He'll lead you family day by day,
   and fill you with true love!

Then follow God's example,
   and when your laid to rest;
Your love won't be in question,
   then yes, you'll pass His test!

Everytime I think about,
  what My Gods done for me;
The more I give my life to Him,
  more mercy I can see!

It blows my mind to think how long,
  I ran the other way;
Thank God, My Shepherd found this sheep,
  This one that went astray!

He called my name, then brought me in,
  from sinful life I lived;
He talked to me and paved the way,
  My sins to ALL forgive!

Now each new step I take in life,
  My Lord now close beside;
He walks with me each night and day;
  He matches every stride!

Such joy and grace I've came to know,
  since God came in my soul;
Such hapiness and peace I have,
  Since giving Him control!

When now in life the hard times come,
  His arms are open wide;
He gives me shelter in those arms,
  A loving place to hide!

Now looking toward my Heavenly home,
  since death has lost it's sting;
I'm sheltered now from all life's storms,
  Beneath My Saviour's Wing!!

In these moments I've spent here
I've thought about my life
I realized all I've put you through
The sorrow, pain and strife!
I'm sorry dear I have to say
I've caused so many tears
No matter what, you stood by me
So strong for all these years!
I don't deserve a girl like you
A blessing all my own
I can't imagine living one day
Without you and alone!
You've often made the hard times pale
Those times that seemed so bleak
You stayed so strong and fought so hard
Those days I'd fallen weak!
I'll never find the words to say
How much your true love means
You're on my mind and in my heart
You're filling up my dreams!
I've prayed I'd find you all my life
I'd almost given in
Now that I've got you to myself
Won't ever lose again!
You're every thing I'll ever want
You're all my dreams come true
My life now makes such perfect sense
Since moment I found you!

There's times in life I feel I'll break;
   a pain I cannot stand.
It's in those times I often hide
   in Hollow of His Hand!

He helps me through the toughest times;
    those times I feel are hard.
It's in these times He lends a hand-
   a hand so worn and scarred!

With gentle hand He leads and guides
   me through life's weary way.
He'll be there to protect me,
   when times I go astray!

My Father's Hands are mighty hands;
   His touch can calm the seas!
My Lord can do just anything
   with greatest sense of ease!

With healing Hands He healed the sick,
   He made the lepers well,
And anytime He spoke the word,
   not once did ever fail!

My Father's Hands are nail-pierced Hands-
   a sign of sacrifice;
He bore our load upon that cross,
   our sins is why He died!

Now one day soon I'm going Home-
   to Home in Beaulah Land;
To see My Jesus face to face,
   to touch His nail-scarred Hands!

I tell you now, My God is King;
   the Ruler of all seas;
Almighty and Omnipotent;
   My Lord, The Prince of Peace.

He's with me on the mountaintop,
   or on the valley floor;
He's with me when I'm lost at sea,
   or resting on the shore.

He's seen me through the worst of times,
   He caught me when I fell;
He changed my life with just one touch,
   by breaking devil's spell.

He broke the chains that bound my life,
   thus setting my soul free;
So much more than My Lord and King,
   He's more than life to me!

As I sit alone to pen these words,
   my mind is stuck on you;
I think about you everyday,
   in everything I do.

You see it wasnt long ago,
   I saw you standing there;
You smiled at me your gorgeous smile-
   you know it wasn't fair!

You know quite well it pulled my strings,
   my heart had skipped a beat;
Just thinking 'bout it once again,
   my heart does oft repeat.

I said"hello" and "how are you?"
   You said "I'm doing fine";
I knew right then, with just those words,
   your heart would soon be mine!

I walked to you, stepped far too close,
   you stole a little kiss;
The blood ran hot within my veins,
   I'd never felt like this!

I couldn't take that way I felt,
   I pulled you in my arms;
I knew right then I'd keep you safe,
   Through life from all it's harm.

Now as I lay my head to rest,
   It's you I'm dreaming of;
I pray you too know how it felt,
   this little thing called love!

'Tis all my burdens lifted now
  because of My God's grace.
He's seen me through the trials of life,
  He'll see me through life's race!

'Twas grace that brought my loved ones down,
  each one all to their knees.
They prayed for me to stop my run,
  to shake the devil free!

'Twas grace that opened up my eyes,
  once blind in sin I trod;
But now I see there's more to life,
  when living it for God!

'Twas grace that washed away my sin,
  the time I first believed.
My God had paid the final cost,
  His blood my sins relieved!

'Twas grace that took away my fear,
  through hard times come and gone.
My Jesus held me close to Him,
  all through life's night till dawn!

'Twas grace that showed me how to live
  for My God every day.
I strive to spread His love around
  in everything I say!

'Twas grace that paved my way to Him,
  for one day soon I'll stand;
Home with My Jesus face to face,
  in Heaven's Beulah Land!

'Twas grace that brought this sinner home,
  now in my rightful place.
Thank God I've got another chance
  with His amazing grace!

There's not too many people,
   who have but one true friend;
A shoulder for to lean on,
   on whom I can depend!

Someone who'll always be there,
   for when in time of need;
That special one who'll always lend,
   a hand or helping deed!

A friend who'll always help you,
   they'll go the extra mile;
Someone to hold you up all day,
   if only with a smile!

A person who will listen,
   when pouring out your heart;
The one who's never left your side,
   has been there from the start!

That wholesome leader as a friend,
   whose lifted you in prayer;
That special one you'll never doubt,
Or question if they're there!

The one who never judges you,
   as sin in life you trod;
The one whose always knelt and prayed,
   you'd turn your life to God!

I thank God for your friendship,
   through sorrow, pain and strife;
I pray someway I can repay,
   your friendship in my life!

Have you seen the beauties My God made,
   the wonders of it all?
Have you heard the water's thunderous roar,
   or seen Niagara falls?

Have you climbed the highest mountain top,
   of ever scaled Pike's Peak?
Have you noticed all the things He made,
   and formed in just one week?

Have you seen the vastness of the sky,
   or tried to count the stars?
Have you figured just how far apart
   are Jupiter and Mars?

Have you smelled the ocean's salty breeze,
   or felt it's gentle waves?
Have you realized just how big they are?
   I know you'd be amazed!

Have you seen the grandest place on earth,
   the largest things God made?
Have you felt the gentlest breeze blow by
   or watched the sunshine fade?

All things we see here on this earth,
   will all but only pale;
To unimaginable grandeur that
   in Heaven He'll unveil!

For the most amazing thing on earth,
   but only slight reflection;
Of the blessed beauty waiting in
   His Heavenly collection!

In younger years we had some times,
   together often shared;
You might have known, though never clear,
   for you I often cared!

To me you've been a special friend,
   the kind to show true love;
I find although we've grown apart,
   it's you I'm thinking of!

We tried it once, I let you down,
   not ready though it seemed;
Now often times when lying here,
   your feeling up my dreams!

Although we may not have a chance,
   to be together again;
I have to tell you 'bout these thoughts,
   I've had of you my friend!

I'm sorry once I walked away,
   not giving us a try;
I'm sorry that I loved you then,
   but chose to live a lie!

I'll make a promise to you now,
   a special little deal;
If once again I get a chance,
   I'll show you how I feel!

I love you girl, I know it now,
   this time I'll do my part;
To let you fill your special place,
   reserved inside my heart!

I hear you calling out my name,
   soft whisper in the wind;
I see you here with me right now,
   with strength I can depend!

I feel your body next to me,
   soft kiss of springtime breeze;
I know the love you have for me,
   it brings me to my knees!

I thank My Lord He sent you here,
   a gift from Heaven above;
I just can't tell you what I've found,
   all packaged in your love!

If Webster was to look into,
   what true love really was;
It's best defined with you and me,
   a photo just of us!

In love I feel I've struck it rich
I finally staked my claim
I chipped away at hardest heart
And struck the richest vein!
I felt I'd never hit it big
I'd nearly given in
I felt I'd never find the one
My heart would never win!
Then one sweet day you waltzed right in
Was so far from prepared
I had to look not once but twice
To see you standing there!
I said "I think you might be lost"
You said "I know my way"
I knew right then I'd hit my mark
I fell in love that day!
You showed me love I'd never known
I soon had lost control
I gambled big, my heart at stake
But love was on a roll!
I took the chance and placed the bet
I shoved my whole stack in
I flopped a flush right from the start
And hearts had won again!
So as you see it all paid off
Although I had to dig
With you I'm now the richest man
In love, I'm winning big!

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;

We feel it has meaning,
  of used every day.
No matter how spoken,

I pray that you see it
  before it's too late;
Love is more than a word

It's not just a noun
  to be casually thrown,
It's FAR more than that

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!!

When looking at your gorgeous face,
   one truth I can't deny;
I find myself so lost inside
   amazing Angel eyes!

My God Himself took special care
   not easy to appease,
He took a glimpse of you at birth
   His precious Masterpiece!

Your quite a rare and special breed,
    A beauty out and in,
And every time you cross my mind
   I fall in love again!

You feel i might be stretching it,
   or telling you a lie;
Look from my view, you too will see,
   an Angel through my eyes!

I'd never try to put in words
   the pain you're going through;
Though yet I hope to share some love,
   from my heart now to you.

You've lost a special angel now,
   she left you far too soon;
You miss her arms around you,
   every morning night and noon.

You never quite will be the same,
   as long as your apart;
But never will you be alone..
   she's perched inside your heart.

Now hold those memories close to you,
   together that you made;
You know she wants what's best for you,
   her love to never fade.

She's moved on now to better place,
    she's walking Heaven's shore;
No soul on earth can harm her now,
    she's safe there with My Lord.

Now picture her with smiling face,
   at Home in Beulah Land;
She's walking down those streets of gold,
   with Jesus hand in hand.

So as you try to live your life,
   remember this one thing;
You're angel still is soaring high,
   just now she's got her wings!

I'm jealous and I'm crushed inside,
   God's taken you away;
Few words describe the pain I feel,
   how lost I am today.

I'm jealous of those pearly gates,
   to know you're just beyond;
'Tis more than I can take right now,
   to think you're really gone.

I'm jealous of those streets of gold,
   you'll stroll on everyday;
I'd visit you there if I could,
   one chance, I'd come to stay.

I'm jealous of the angels there,
   with you right by their side;
My time with you cut far too short,
   real peace I've been denied.

I'm jealous of your happiness,
   you've finally been set free,
So crushed inside, I'm lost for words,
   you're happy without me!

I'm not the best dad known to man
I don't have money or fame
I definitely don't have super strength
I stagger from life's pain!
I haven't been just where I should
Beside you everyday
I haven't followed My Lord's design
In life or any way!
I haven't lived a life to brag
Or be so proud about
Yet one things known that when I love
It's love you'll never doubt!
So as you read these words right now
As written from my heart
Just know I'm in Gods fold again,
I've got a brand new start!
Now as I live each day for Him
I'll show you love you've  missed
I'll tell you what you are to me
Let's start with this small list -
You're my princess and my angel
My precious shooting star
My gorgeous gem, the brightest pearl,
My ALL is what you are!

You think that I may be the one,
   with whom this life you'll share;
To have and hold, til death do part,
   with love you'll ne'er compare.

You've got it right, yes I'm that man,
   to let my love light shine;
To make the best of time we've left,
   by making your heart mine.

We've made it through our separate pasts,
    there's more hard times to come;
But now we'll fight each war ahead,
   the two of us as one!

Let's live that life we've dreamt about,
   to find our peace on earth;
To go where only dreams can go,
   to love beyond all words!

Your name was called in Heaven's roll,
   one moment far too soon;
I miss you more than words can say,
   each moning, night and noon!

I've tried so hard to just move on,
   though long as we're apart;
There's just no hope to live again,
   with such a broken heart!

We more than made a matching pair,
    we made the best of teams;
But now the only thing I've left,
   is shattered hopes and dreams!

Since now you're walking streets of gold,
   behind those gates of pearl;
I know you're blessed more than I am,
   still strolling this olé world!

I guess in words I'm tryin' to say;
   you've left me on my own;
I'm glad to know you're doin' well,
   not heartbroke and alone.

Just know I'm lookin' for that day,
   to see you once again;
To stroll those streets of gold with you,
   to be whole with my friend!

My God went there, prepared a Home
A mansion in the sky
What glory and splendor we'll behold
The very day we die!
We'll all rise up when trumpet sounds
To take Our Saviour's Hand
He'll guide us Home right through those clouds
To Home in Beulah Land!
We'll stop in awe at massive gates
Huge pearls swing open wide
That's but the entrance to our Home
Go on now, step inside!
Your mouth will drop right when you see
The sights of Glory Land
When beauty melds with Heaven's sound
Of Angels in His band!
Take in the sights, soak up the sounds
And stroll down streets of gold
But watch real close 'cause soon you'll see
Your loved ones there to hold!
Now grab their hands and don't lose pace
There's so much more to see
You've yet to meet Him face to face
  My Lord, The Prince of Peace!
These words can't even start to show
What glory that will be
That moment when those trumpets sound
From Heaven's Jubilee!

I pray My God in Heaven,
  please be with me here today;
Please protect me, guide and keep me,
   as life's storms now come my way!

Please be with me till they pass me,
   and the thunder sounds no more;
Or just take me home to Heaven,
   let me walk that golden shore!

When the darkness often tempts me,
   to at times just hide my face;
As life's storms so fierce around me,
   rest in God, My Hiding Place!

For I feel My God is with me,
   as I go to him in prayer;
He will always be my anchor,
   When I need Him, He is there!

As now in life I give Him all,
   with trust in Him I stand;
I know He'll always watch 'ore me,
   held in My Master's Hand!

Yes, He'll silence Satan's whispers,
   "there's no hope in life at all";
'Cause I know My Lord will catch me,
   any time before I fall!

Now I know My God is with me,
   and tomorrow sun will rise;
For I know He holds my future,
   just beyond those stormy skies!

My God went there, prepared a Home,
a mansion in the sky;
What glorious splendor we'll behold,
that very day we die.

We'll all rise up when trumpet sounds,
to take Our Saviour's Hand;
He'll guide us Home right through the clouds,
to Home in Beulah Land.

We'll stop in awe at massive gates,
huge pearls swing open wide;
That's but the entrance to our Home,
go on now, step inside!

Your mouth will drop right when you see,
the sights of Glory Land;
When beauty melds with Heaven's sound,
of Angels in His band.

Take in the sights, soak up the sounds,
and stroll down streets of gold;
But watch real close 'cause soon you'll see,
your loved ones there to hold!

Now grab their hands and don't lose pace,
there's so much more to see;
You've yet to meet Him face to face,
  My Lord, The Prince of Peace.

These words can't even start to show,
what glory that will be;
That moment when those trumpets sound,
from Heaven's Jubilee!

There's times in life we're just not sure,
   which way is best to go;
Those times when life seems far to hard,
    in life we're dealt a blow

We may not see the light to come,
   the end seems far away;
Life really seems not worth it now,
   to wake up one more day.

I know it's hard, I've been there too,
   where dying would bring peace;
Where not one thing could make me smile,
   no help the pain could ease.

Just hear me out, I've got some news,
   I finally found the way,
To stand up strong, to live again,
   to face another day.

I gave it all to God Himself,
   let Jesus fight my war;
And that He did, He fought for me,
   this war and many more!

Now every day I give Him thanks,
   for guidance from above;
For keeping me so safe from harm,
   wrapped in His Wings of Love.

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!
