Hear what I say, then ponder this,
   God made you just for me;
Created from a piece of bone
   just molded perfectly!

He took such pride in all he made
   placed everything just right;
My God Himself saw what He'd done,
   perfection in His sight!

He knew we need companionship,
   Each husband needs his wife;
Someone like you to walk with me
   with whom to share my life!

He started out with only sand,
   to form a mortal man;
Beginning of the human race,
   fulfilling perfect plan!

I'll bet He chuckled to Himself,
   He knew how proud I'd be;
How right He was and proud I AM,
   that you're right here with me!

Hear what I say, then ponder this,
   God made you just for me;
Created from a piece of bone
   And formed quite perfectly!

He took such pride in all he made
   placed everything just right;
My God Himself saw what He'd done,
   perfection in His sight!

He knew we need companionship,
   Each husband needs his wife;
Someone like you to walk with me
   with whom to share my life!

He started out with only sand,
   to form a mortal man;
Beginning of the human race,
   fulfilling perfect plan!

I'll bet He chuckled to Himself,
   He knew how proud I'd be;
How right He was and proud I AM,
   that you're right here with me!

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!

While standing just outside tonight,
   beneath the star lit sky;
I looked up just in time to see
   an angel soaring by.

I saw a flash of purest white,
  just east of planet mars;
Then watched her as she danced around,
  and jumped from star to star.

She sang me such a precious tune,
  while soaring wild and free;
Then showed me just how high she'd fly,
  so high I couldn't see!

She swooped right down to hug my neck,
  I held her oh so tight;
Then told her what this meant to me,
  if only for tonight!

She told me not to grieve no more,
  she'll always be my girl;
But now she's walking steets of gold,
  no longer this 'ole world!

We talked some more, spent precious time,
  just walking hand in hand;
When time was up, she blew a kiss,
  then soared to Beaulah Land!

I never will forget just when;
  to short as though it seems;
I held my daughter one more time,
  if only in my dreams!

Oh yes, we know there's times in life,
    when nothing seems so fair;
Those times when nothing else in life,
   can help us to prepare.

When those we love, pass on for good,
    they've gone to better place;
They're headed Home to Beulah Land,
   to claim their last estate.

Don't be so sad, they're happy now,
   in Heaven by and by;
They've got a home and so much more...
   a mansion in the sky.

They'll feel no pain, no sadness there,
   they'll shed not one more tear;
They'll never be alone again,
   and never live in fear!

You miss them so, it's not sunk in,
   though hard at times it seems;
You may not feel their touch again,
   but see them in your dreams!

Be glad they're gone to Heaven now,
   just make sure you're prepared,
To join them soon as your names called,
   to hold them when you're there!

I tell you this my truest love,
   if ever comes one time;
You question this 'ole heart of mine,
    or have no peace of mind -

Remember this, I'm sayin' now,
   I'm still your biggest fan;
The one that's got your back today,
   who's proud to be your man.

I'll hold you close till end of time,
   I'll breathe for you each day;
Hold tightly to this love we have,
   to take your fears away.

I'm here right now, I'll never leave,
   you're ALL I'll ever need;
Not many once could find true love,
   like love 'twixt you and me!

I tell you 'bout this man I know,
   the strongest man on earth;
The richest man to live this life,
   his stock in Heaven's worth.

He lives his life to be the man,
   My God would have him be;
To stand for Christ and preach His Word,
    to sinners just like me.

He's not real tall, soft spoken sort,
   and yes, he lacks some hair;
But stands his ground when other's won't,
    so try him if you dare!

He stands for right to battle wrong,
   the Bible is his sword;
A superhero some may say,
   though I say he's much more.

He's good to mom, a loyal spouse,
   best friend one soul could have;
A Christian man, a Godly man,
   this man I call my dad!

Please let me take one moment now,
   to tell you 'bout my girl;
She's sweeter than pure honeycomb,
    more precious than a pearl.

She came to me sent straight from God,
   to teach me 'bout real love;
A present that My God sent down,
   from Heaven's gates above.

I'm proud I found my one true love,
   yet still so overwhelmed;
So blessed to call her all my own,
   gift from Angelic realms.

She fills me full of hope in life,
   means more than everything;
She's bound my heart with chains of love;
   my love, my gorgeous queen.

Some people think you're not just right,
   no perfect match for me;
Yet they don't know what I've found out,
    how awesome love can be.

I've  come to see what happy is,
   one moment by your side;
Since you've became my "Bonnie" now,
   and I've became your "Clyde".

It's more than just a simple bond,
   we make the best of teams;
The kind that most can only find,
   in hopeful wish and dreams!

I wish those people once could feel,
    how real true love can be;
To see the truth what your love means,
   and all you are to me!

The way it feels to hold you close,
   to fit just like a glove;
It's not so hard to see it now,
   no wonder I'm in love!

Since Jesus came from Heaven above
   and died for all the lost,
The angels dance and sing each time
   one sinner finds the Cross!

Their praise and worship for My Lord,
   sounds many times each day;
When Jesus finds another lamb,
   who'd somehow went astray!

See, not so very long ago,
   myself was lost in sin;
But Jesus broke the devil's  binds,
   'fore satan reeled me in!

So now I think about the joy,
   when angels got the news;
I know they danced with joy for me,
    I know they'll dance for you!

Let's give them more to shout about,
   tell other's 'bout Our King;
Let's keep those angels on the move,
   they love to dance and sing!

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!

No words could ever once describe,
   just what I'm going through;
Unbearable, despicable,
    this pain of losing you.

You've been a part of more than life,
   my one and only love;
Now looking down on me today
   from Heaven's gates above.

Although I miss you more right now,
   than ever once before;
I know we'll meet again real soon,
   just inside Heaven's door.

But as for now I'll bear the pain,
   of scars inside my heart;
An emptiness that can't be filled,
   so long as we're apart.

Yes He'll bend and try to break me,
   yet with strength I will not fold;
As Job said it in The Scriptures,
   "I will come forth as gold!"
He'll put me through life's fires,
   He'll hold my feet to flame;
Yet that which doesn't break me
   Will help me bear the pain!

He'll take some loved ones from me,
   my broken heart so sad;
He'll see me through those troubled times
   with gentle guiding hand!

Oh yes, My Lord knows just what's best,
   He's always in control;
And just when seems He left me there,
   Such strength and peace He'll show!

At times He'll give us crosses,
   each one of us to bear;
But if we leave them at His feet,
   true mercy He will share!

My God's the Master of everything,
   He'll turn your life around;
Since now I've give my ALL to Him
   True peace and love I've found!

Although I still face trials in life,
   with God I'm standing bold-
He now has turned my scars of past,
   to shiny bars of gold!!

If I could paint a picture now,
   depicting what love is;
A portrait cloaked in silent views,
   would look a bit like this:

With softest tones I'd paint a beach,
   with golden tinted sand;
Depicting how He formed ALL things,
   with sculptor's driven hands.

Now take a look, I'm sure you'll see,
     small diamonds top the waves;
As crescent moon lights up the sky,
   to mark an end to day.

The stars break out in awesome glow,
    cool breeze wafts ore' the land;
And with each step we take in life,
   our footprints marks the sand.

This masterpiece of our true love,
   would be of ocean scene;
Depicting what it's all about,
   this love 'twixt you and me.

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 go through times near everyday
These moments that just when
I dream that day is finally here
To hold you once again!
It's not so long from now till then
It's just a bit more time
I'll be right there to wrap you in
These loving arms of mine!
So hold on tight just remain strong
My love is worth the wait
Just think ahead and plan it out
Let's both anticipate!
'Twill be so sweet when that time comes
Into these arms you'll run
I'll wrap you up and hold on tight
To forever be as one!
This love we share will last all life
Our bond still holding strong
Let's see it through till moment when
Our life on earth is done!!
I promise you I'll hold and keep
You always close to me
I'll show you I'm forever yours
To love you faithfully!

How can I put in words right now,
   to tell you all you mean;
The simple truth there's not a way,
   to once describe this dream.

To feel this way is really rare,
   to know that I'm in love;
To see My Father sent you here,
   His Angel from above.

I thought I'd really felt this way,
   a time or two before;
Then realized I've not felt THIS love,
   the kind you show and more!

If ever once you doubt His plan,
   just ask and you'll receive;
A peace of mind, a sign it's real,
   this love twixt you and me!

Dear Lord, I come to you right now,
   I'm down on bended knee;
To see if we can barter up a deal,
   a trade 'twixt You and me.

I heard you're building me a Home,
   a mansion in the skies;
A harp and crown to call my own,
   no sooner than I die.

Well heres the deal, I'll never feel,
   real comfy in those digs,
So if I can, I'll spill the beans,
   'bout my dream place to live.

I'd start with just a smidge 'o land,
   tucked yonder in the hills;
A cabin with a front porch swing,
   no reoccurring bills.

I'll trade majestic gates of pearl,
   and shiny streets of gold;
For picket fence with squeaky gates,
   and worn out muddy road.

I'd take a hat and guitar pick,
   no harp or crown for me;
A big 'ole oak with hammock swung,
   now that would glory be.

Now this I ask in Heaven's name,
   I leave it in Your hands;
It's You who made me who I am,
   a simple country man!

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'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!

Let's stop today to say a prayer,
    get down on bended knee;
To thank Our Lord for all the one's,
    who died so we'd be free.

They gave their lives to fight for us,
   fought battles in each war;
To see we'd all be free to walk,
    this land from shore to shore.

Each husband, wife or daughter,
   each son or just a friend;
Gave all in heat of battle,
   our country to defend.

So say a prayer for those who served,
    who answered beckon call;
They died to let our freedom ring,
    those saints each gave their all!

There's something 'bout My God's dear grace,
Where peace and love abound
Once deep in sin, He rescued me
Once lost but now I'm found!
He died for us so long ago
Our sins to all forgive
He bore our burdens on that cross,
He died so we could live!
God sent His Son right down to earth
A man like you and me
He felt the pain of martyr's death
On hill called Calvary!
A short time later after death
My Jesus rose again,
A perfect sign of second chance
Since rescued from my sin!
He plucked me out and gave me life
He's filled my soul with joy
I once was blind, but now I see
How sin was Satan's ploy!
I have no fear to leave this earth
As death has lost it's sting
Now I can't wait since I've been found
To hear those Angels sing!
I know My Lord is coming soon,
Can't wait to leave this place,
A Heavenly joy now fills my soul
All thanks to God's dear 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!

As spring has now began to come,
   one moment not too soon;
As april showers fall in May,
   fresh flowers start to bloom;

The springtime breeze begins to blow,
   the scent of fresh cut grass;
The sunbeams seem more bright somehow,
   as winter's gloom now pass!

The browns fade out to brighter greens,
   birds chirping in the air;
This springtime glee's the only thing,
   I'd dare your love compare!

Without God's touch you'd  never find
  true happiness with me;
Yet blessed by Him with nature's touch
  such joy and love you'll see!

We both were formed by God above,
   not made by mortal man;
The love we share, not made by us,
   'twas formed by God's Own Hand!

I'd like to say a thing or two,
   and hope you will surmise;
You've far surpassed the dreams I had
   to take me by surprise!

I knew sometime I'd meet the one,
   My God had made for me,
But never thought I'd feel this love,
   true love to set me free!

I thought I'd felt real love before,
   until you left your mark;
Since reaping all you sow in me,
   I feel it in my heart!

I realize now what love can be,
   now everything feels right;
From stormy clouds to cloudless sky,
   my beacon in the night!

If I could make one word describe,
   how love has changed my ways;
I'd have to say with thankful heart,
   with you I'm still AMAZED!

It's been too long since moment when,
   I said those precious words;
To think I don't still love you girl,
   now that's more like absurd.

I'm not the best at being all,
   the perfect man should be;
But faithful, true, forever strong,
   now that would be more me.

I may not tell you everyday,
   just everything you mean,
But girl I say for once and all,
   you're everything I've dreamed.

So if there's once you question us -
   in fact, just anytime;
Just ask me then, I'll tell you this,
    to give you peace mind:

My precious girl, I love you more,
   than ANY words can say;
You've changed my world, with just your love,
   by you I'm still amazed!

As I watch you lying there,
   so lost in peaceful dreams;
I know I'm stuck on you,
   and know what true love means!

With nothing but your smile,
   you've broken down my walls;
As you've shattered my defense
   I had formed to never fall!

See I thought I had a plan,
   how to never love again;
Just to always duck and dodge,
   and love to never win!

All I gave you was a yard,
   but you know you took a mile;
With nothing but one look,
   of your oh-so-precious smile!

Since you came into my life,
   my heart now on the mend;
You've helped me live once more,
   proved you'll love me till the end!

Now I'll never live one day,
   without your love, my dear;
Since you've fully stole my heart,
   now in love I have no fear!

So as you open up your eyes,
   and you focus in on me;
Know it's for your perfect love,
   I'll forever thankful be!

Now everyday I learn such things,
   as hard times come to stay;
I watch to see who stand by me,
   and those who walk away!

Although we've seen some tough times now,
   as each one's come and gone;
I realized this, you've always been,
   beside me all along!

Oh yes, you've seen both sides of me,
   the good side and the bad;
You've held me when life strikes me down,
   when broken heart and sad!

I know you've seen life push me 'round,
   at times down to the ground;
Yet as you reached your hand to me,
   such strength in you I found!

You've shown me love all through my life,
   you've stood so strong and bold;
You never left me once in life,
   you're always there to hold!

I'll try to return this love to you,
   you've shown me everyday;
I've seen the best example now,
   to love in such a way!

If someone asks, I'll tell 'em quick,
   your love has seen me through;
I've never known what true love was,
   until my heart found you!

I'm thankful for so many things,
   too many to list here;
But just a few that mean the most,
   the one's I hold so dear.

I'm thankful for my family,
   close loved ones and my friends;
Those ones who've helped me up at times,
   I'd felt I reached the end!

I'm thankful for my precious ones,
   my daughter and my son;
Both growing up to fine adults,
   amazing on their own!

I'm thankful for this time of year,
   feel bad for those who can't;
To make a list of all the things,
   each blessing to give thanks.

Now last of all I'm thankful for,
   the feeling of true love;
Forgiveness for each one of us,
   each blessing from above!

Stowed away in a manger,
  what a lowly birth;
When My Jesus came here,
   with us to this earth.

He came as a human,
   just like you and me.
From a child to His death,
  mortal man was He!

He walked on the water,
   made the sick men well,
Made one loaf feed a thousand
  broke the devil's spell!

Gave the blind back their sight,
  raised the dead from the grave,
Made the lame men to walk,
  made the oceans behave !

He hung on that cross
   where He bled and He died.
Forgave all our sins
   when He was crucified!

He could have called Angels,
   ten million or more;
Instead paid the price
   for our sins that He bore!

Now think once again
   what we put Him through.
I thank Him each day,
   as I hope you do too!

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!

A lady made from toughest strand,
   yet gentle as they come;
She's more than all my hopes and dreams,
   she might just be "the one".

She's daffodils and butter cups,
   she's such a gorgeous girl;
A lie would be she's just my love,
   when really she's my world.

The hottest flame you've ever seen,
   shear lightning strike on land;
You'd face a fury few will know,
   if messing with her man.

She makes me feel like ne'er before,
   I'm happy as can be;
In fact to tell you all the truth,
   she's EVERYTHING to me.

There's something 'bout just living for God,
   for my whole life has changed;
I now have so much joy and peace,
   since God my soul reclaimed!

The war raged on, my soul the prize,
   now Satan's in retreat;
My God has claimed the victor now,
   the Devil's claimed defeat!

My Saviour shed His blood one day,
   on hill called Calvary;
He washed each one my sins away,
   He died to set me free!

Each day is so much brighter now,
   I'd never known such peace;
Until I gave My God control,
   gave Him the driver's seat!

He's led me through the toughest times,
   now in His rightful place;
Since Jesus took my pilot's seat,
   I'm winning in lifes race!

Yes Jesus found and brought me in,
   this soul that weny astray;
He's shown me how to live again,
   To love, to watch and pray!

For so long as I ran from Him,
   He kept me safe from harm;
Since now I've found the place for me,
   in comfort of His Arms!
