If I could I would take you by the hand
And lead you to a place of understanding
To where your days were filled with joy and love
And if I could I’d mend your broken heart and give you peace
And pray you know it comes from God above
I know you’ve had your share of pain and tears
And I’m very much aware of all your fears
Too many sleepless nights
And hope is not in sight
But friend the Lord is still upon his throne
He never slumbers, never sleeps
His promises he keeps
And one is that he’ll not leave you alone
If you’ll just lean on him
In the end you're sure to win
Don’t ever fight your battles on your own
Let’s you and I agree
And together we will see
That nothing is impossible with Him
So my friend today’s the day
Just turn to God and say
Victory shall be mine, with God I’ll win

Should the Lord return today would you be caught off guard and would you find it very hard to tell him how sorry you were that you didn’t feel the need to ask him into your heart perhaps because you didn’t feel worthy to bother him or feel that you didn’t somehow measure up. We all have felt that way at some point in our lives, but Jesus knows everything and nothing is unseen and he longs for us to come to him as a child would go to his earthly father for comfort and love.  When God created man he desired to have fellowship with him thus so he longs to have personal intimate fellowship with us.  Have you ever stood at the foot of a mountain and was overwhelmed at it’s beauty and just know that you had nothing to do with it…Only God could have done it…and then on a clear spring night, have you ever gazed up into the heaven’s and see the stars all scattered into place, perfectly designed to make the night sky a magical carpet, and to think he knows them all by name.
I could go on and on but I think you get the drift here…and as it says in the word, God created the Heaven’s and the earth and all that is in it.
One man said to me.. I don’t believe in the Heaven you sing about and I don’t belive in God or Hell….and he said what do you think of that…I said your asking me…?  So without hesitation, I said well sir, if your going around all of your life proclaiming that there is no God, no Heaven or Hell…when it’s all said and done….”you’d better be right”..
The gentleman lowered his head and just walked away…
In the end we have to be right with our maker to enter the kingdom of God…he came as a sacrifice for your sins. And he’s not letting us just do as we please and expect to enter his sinless Heaven..Salvation is as simple as the thief that hung next to him when he said “Remember Me “  Notice that’s not a prayer of repentance, but Jesus’s reply was, This day you shall be with me in paradice….So daily my prayer is Lord, Remember me.
I hope these words have been an encouragement to you and that you will find it in your heart to except and trust the one that loves you more than you’ll ever know, and that’s Jesus Christ himself.

There is a day that’s coming
And it is just around the bend
When everything that you've known
Will come right to an end

You will witness things
That you've never seen before
Like babies disappearing
Disaster, guns and war

Never have we seen
Such nationwide distress
and turmoil is among us
There's no peace and there's no rest

You can read it in your Bible
God say's it very plain
In the final last day's
before he comes again

you will see destruction
And much terror in the land
it's time we get a grip
On  God's unchanging hand

I believe in One God
every morning, night and noon
and most of all my Friend
I believe He's coming "Soon"

We start a journey each new day
Not knowing what will come
As we begin each new day
At rising of the sun
Sometimes happy things occur
Sometime we are sad
Situations right and left
We take the good and bad
Disappointments come and go
Mixed with doubt's and fears
Then we have those hurting times
Our eyes release the tears
Some day's theirs friends
Who will come to call
Other days you look around
And see no one at all
But let me tell you something friend
It's life, that's all it is
And when it's all been said and done
We just begin again

As a child I loved to sing
And play piano too
I loved to sing the hymns
The old ones and the new
Then Southern Gospel came along
And oh how sweet the sound
I started traveling on a bus
I've seen so many town
I'd see the people stand each night
To praise and clap their hands
You could really feel his presence
The feeling was so grand
As I look back upon those days
Where many souls were won
I'm thankful that the Lord chose me
And let me sing God's songs

When my spirit is low I know where to go
For comfort and peace and rest
He is so loving and willing to hear
My petitions as I pray and confess
Why would I go to anyone else
For it's God in Heaven who knows
He is the friend who's closer to me
What wonderful love he betows
When I seek his face
He so willingly makes
His presence so real to me
He say's come and dine,  put your hand in mine
Let me draw closer to thee
I'll be a comfort to your weary soul
A light in your darkness to see
I will show you the way, seek me this day
I'm everything you need me to be
Make me your choice and please do not fear
For I am truly with you this day
My child do not doubt, for I'll bring you out
Take my hand and I'll lead the way

I see you in your midnight hour
I know your thoughts and fears
But if you would gently rest in me
I'll wipe away those tears
Come to me my arms are open
I long to show you love
Let me embrace and hold you
From my throne above
Lean on me and do not doubt
I see and know all things
I am your creator
Mender of your broken wings
So come to me and sore on high
And I will let you see
There is no other refuge
No other God but me
