They say that life's too short
And now I understand
Each year that passes by
And I become an older man
The things that I have done
The choices I have made
Are often times regretted
I failed to make the grade
We can never un-do
The mistakes of yesterday
But we can purpose in our mind
That tomorrow's another day
We can strive to be
The very best we can
And willingly and knowingly
Choose to make a stand
To change the things
That we can change
To make our future bright
And with God in Heaven
As our guide
It just might turn out right

Lord today I need your touch
even more than yesterday
Please come and fill my cup
And touch my life I pray
Extend your loving hand to me
And work your awesome power
So that I may feel your spirt near me
In my desperate hour
I know without a doubt your there
You've never left my side
But it's often hard to deal
With pressures in this life
You said, come my yoke is easy
And I will give you rest
But you may choose another route
And take me through the test
So if that be the case lord,
Please let me faithful be
For in your own good time
You'll come and rescue me
I must have faith my Lord in you
And waver not, nor cry
For though you may be four day's late
Your always right on time

Take me to a place where sorrow cannot be found
Where endless days of sunshine unceasingly abound
To where my human body will pain endure no more
And all my thoughts are happy innocent and pure
I want to walk where angels trod and hear their songs of love
To sore on wings and current wind, far oh far above
I know by faith somehow their really is a place
And one day I shall behold the beauty of God's face

When you kneel down to pray remember me
When you talk to God the Father remember me
For I've been in the valley
And my way seems dim
So please would you remember me
When you talk to Him
I humbly ask your prayers
And would you kindly ask on my be-half
That he would touch my life
And let me stay on track
I would much appreciate just the mention of my name
When you have your quiet-time
In the presence of the King
Thanks so much in advance
For the taking of your time
For through your heart-felt prayers
I'm sure, I'll be just fine

We are often burdened till our faith becomes undone
So torn between what's right and wrong and our last song has been sung
Days of endless stress, not knowing what to do
For we've run out of answers
Theirs no answers coming through

Just speak the name that's above all names and everything will change
He take what you can't handle and your life he'll rearrange
When your burdens overcome you and your backs against the wall
When you speak the name of Jesus, you'll overcome it all

Speak his name....Oh speak his name
Savior of the World, Every day the same
Speak his name, Speak his name
Don't turn and walk away form him, for you'll never be the same Speak his name

Little is much when God is in it, so don't feel so trodden down
I'm here to speak a word to you, soon you'll step on higher ground
For in his name there's victory, and Victory shall be mine
And I am counting you in, He's calling come and dine
On the riches of his Glory, let him hold you close
So that you can feel his power, and his Holy Ghost

He is coming sooner...Oh sooner than you think
Faster than the speed of light , faster than a wink...
Friend, you  know where you stand you have so much to gain
And in the end, you'll just begin, so right now, just speak his name

Wherever you are the Lord is right there
wherever you are just know that he  cares
you may be in despair you make feel so low
it's hard to step forward with nowhere to go
Fear not said the Lord I'm right by your side
For I'll be your shield comfort and guide
just trust in me with all of your heart
I'll be there for you and I'll never depart
no matter what comes no matter what goes
I'm like a rock a steady river that flows
I'm closer to you than a brother could be
yes I'm right beside you though you may not see
I am the beginning and I am the end
if you'll turn to me I'll be a true friend
my home awaits you in heaven on high
but until I descend from the clouds in the sky
please know I'm your savior and your redemption is nigh
never give up the battle never give up the fight
I am coming so soon to call you away
but until that time my friend be blessed everyday...

Is your heart heavy laden
With burdens to hard to bare
Are you down trodden
And feel no one cares
Do the tears often fall
From your eyes through the night
And you call on God
But he's no where in sight
Fear not for he does hear
The cry of his child
He will intervene,  It may take a while
See Lazarus was dead
And four days in his grave
But in God's perfect time
He showed up and he saved
Yes he saved the day
And he called Lazarus out
So why would you worry
And struggle with doubt
If he can raise a man from his tomb
He can and he will be there for you
It's as simple as reaching for his unseen hand
And letting him do what no other man can
He's waiting so patiently for you to see
That he's never left you
And he's telling me
That you are the apple of his loving eye
And forever he'll love you
Till the day that you die
And that's when you'll see, and you'll understand
When you stand before him, and he takes your hand
That you've finally made your last final mile
Please wait by the gate, I'll be there in a while....
