For the life of me
I'll never understand
Why a king would leave this throne
In gloryland
Leave all the slender Heaven holds
To come redeem
Our sickened sin-sick souls
I'll never fully know
The pain he bore
When they placed upon his head
That crown of thorns
I'll never know
For I wasn't there to see
But he did it all
For the life of me
and for the life of me
he freely laid his down
So that one day
I could wear a robe and crown
And I'll dwell with  the king eternally
Yes he did this
for the life of me

Coming and going
each day of our lives
Just trying to stay on top of the pile
we make mistakes we stumble and fall
  we think we've nailed it...we know it all
Sometimes we think  that we've got it made
life's just a breeze here in the shade
But need I remind you
life can turn on a dime
We're not promised tomorrow
So cherish your time
This morning you tied your shoes up real tight
But your Undertaker could
untie them tonight
  Be sure that you share a kind word and smile
As you walk life's journey
mile after mile
Life is too short
so choose wisely today
For its up to you
god bless you let's pray
.....
Father I thank you for this day that you made I thank you for all the blessings that you placed in my life... my loving family my friends and my loving companion
Lord don't let me take life for granted
let me see the best in everything and everyone let me lift up those that have fallen let me encourage those that are down and let me be a pure reflection of your love this I asked in Jesus name Amen.

I know that I
Have failed the Lord
And for that
I'm so ashamed
And only in my troubled times
Would I call upon his name

But God said
If you'll only speak to me
When trouble your way comes
Then you can rest assured my child
I'll surely send you some

I know I need
To spend more time
Down on my knees in prayer
For he said when
You call on me
I'll surely meet you there

Lord forgive me
Of my past
And the wrongful things I've done
I long so
Just to make things right
Between you and your son

For I know
That we're not promised
We will see The Morning Sun
And I don't want
To leave this world
Having left some things undone

Father make me worthy
To stand and tell the world
That I'm a god believer
And I believe His Word

He's coming in an hour
That we don't even know
And our souls will be
Required of us
O be ready friend to go

Eternity last forever
and 10 million years from now
my friend you will be somewhere
so why don't you humbly bow

To the God of heaven
he's waiting now on you
just ask Him for forgiveness
that's all you have to do

Then when it said and done
and he returns someday
he'll take you home to heaven
and there forever stay

Why
Why are thing the way they are
Why do you wish upon a star
Where do you find sweet peace of mind
And why are people so often unkind
Why do I seek what I cannot find
Why do I wish for some other time
Why do I ask why must this be
Why would you dare refuse to see
The reason the why's and why they are
Is because its right here and not too far
If you look at what you have and ask not why
your why's will decreas ...Give it a try
Now for those who may not care
I will leave you with a dare
I dare you to think, next time you ask why
And maybe just maybe....you'll look toward the sky
For maybe your answers to all of your whys
Are far far beyond the clouds in the sky

I don't know the day
And I don't know the hour
When I'll leave this old troubled world
But I'm sure if I should leave today
I'd hold the nail-scared hand,
That led the way for me
I'll hold to his hand
And he won't let me fall
He told me he would not lead me astray
I'll put all my trust in Him
And he'll lead me all the way
I'll stay close to him
For he's my dearest friend
He's always there
Just when I need him the most
For you see his love has lifted me
From my misery,
I'll never let him go,
He'll be with me all the way

I've been through Hell
And I've seen Heaven,
But For Now... I'm ok
I've seen the sun
And I've seen darkness
But For now...I'm ok
I've had some money
and I've seen poverty
But for now...I'm ok
I've had friends
And I've been lonely
But for now, I'm ok
So you ask me how I really am
And to you, All I can say
But for now, I'm ok

I asked the Lord to be with me
As I jouned through my day
It was so good to know
His all seeing eye
Was on me each step of the way
Now I may stumble and I may fall
Still he remains my precious friend
And although I may fail, He's always there
And he'll be there, right till the end
For He is there
No matter where you are
He is there, Child no distance, will be too far
He'll just reach down with his tender hand
And he'll show you how much he cares
So don't ever give up on him,
He loves you and He is There
Now we'll have those days, I'm sure you know
When everything just seems to go wrong
Oh but isn't it good to know inside your heart
You can always sing a song
Or you can pray withoug ceasing, He will hear you
And answer your prayer,
See there's never been a day that I could say
My Lord was never there...

— The End —
