WITH GOD I'LL WIN
Sammy L Lykens Jun 2016
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

If He Should Come
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
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.

Soon
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
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 Just Begin Again
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
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

God's Songs
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
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

I'll Lead The Way
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
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
Feb 2016 · 510
No Other God
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
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
Feb 2016 · 220
It's About Time
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
Gabriel has a trumpet
Which he's about to blow
God say's to him get ready
I'm calling my children home
Now no man knows the day
Nor the hour when this will be
But brother just look around you
And you will surely see
Perilous times are here
We live in such distress
I don't know how we've gone this far
Were in an awful mess
I look to Heaven's clouds each day
Our redemption draweth nigh
Surely he will soon appear
In the eastern sky
It could be today
And that would just be fine
But you can count on one thing
And that is: It's About Time

The Love Of God's Nature
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
Nature holds such beauty
For our eyes to see
I love walking in the forest
Seems God's spirit is with me
Such splendor all around
A tapestry so great
No one but God
Could such a thing portrait
The birds the blooms
The sky above
Pour out our Saviors love
Only he could make such wonders
And send them from above
Yes I love all nature
And the wonders that it shows
And how and where it all began
Only God in Heaven knows

Joy Comes In The Morning
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
Joy comes in the morning
After a long night
Things seem so much better
When we see the light
We worry we fret
Our stress is so high
While all along
Our Savior is nigh
He knows our thoughts
before we ask
And your situation
To Him is no task
He has the answer
Just wait and see
And if you wait in Faith
He'll bring Victory
So my dear friend
Just heed my warning
God's in control and
Joy comes in the morning

A Fond Memory
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
I have a fond memory
Of a house back a lane
Oh how I wish
I could visit again

The three who were there
Were so special to me
And each time I'd visit
My heart filled with glee

The setting was country
But oh it was grand
And I loved setting on the swing
Surveying the land

Love filled each room
God's spirit was there
And besides hospitality
You were shown such love and such care

Their were three at one time
Then two and then one
And finally all of them
Made their journey home

I miss them so
But I know that someday
In Heaven I'll see them
Together again

The Journey
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
One day I'll take the journey
That I so long to take
I will cross all barriers
And in Heaven I'll awake

Crossing over Jordan
May cause a little fear
But I know I'll see the Savior
And all my loved ones dear

The fear of death
Shall pass away
And time shall be no more
All will be so Glorious
When I reach that shore

So friend do not weep
When that crossing comes for me
I'll just say goodbye and fall asleep
And begin the journey

Morning Prayer
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
Dear Lord its morning
And I come to you
Asking for your grace
To help me get through

I need your touch
More than before
Let me know you each day
So very much more

Give me your strength
And endurance to stand
I'm reaching out
For your unfailing hand

Please bless all my family
And my friends today
Send them a blessing
And touch them I pray

Now father
As I end this morning prayer
Please keep us all
In your tender care
AMEN

Mother
Sammy L Lykens Feb 2016
Far back as I remember
Mother's days were full
Always doing something
That's what she liked to do
In the winter day's you'd find her
With a shovel in her hand
Out there moving snow
Boy her energy was grand
Then I can remember
Watching her hang up clothes
Out on the summer clothes line
And I'd watch the sheets just blow
They were fresh as spring time
As the sun would warm then dry
And Oh it was so nice
To sleep on them that night
Other days I'd see her
Mowing our country yard
She would have things really neat
She often worked real hard
Yes my mind goes back
To those good old days
And they are like no other
For among my most precious memories
They're of my precious Mother

Heart Full Of Love
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
With a heart full of love
He carried the cross
And gave his life for all
Enduring such pain and agony
By the time it was finished he new
That even amidst all the suffering
He did what he knew he must do
He ask of his father
For that cup to pass
Perhaps their could be some other way
But the Heavenly Father
Knew it must be
A sacrifice had to be made
So completing the task
And carrying through
To please his father above
He said it is finished
And then bowed his head
And died with a
Heart Full Of Love

Rose Of Sharon
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
He is the rose of Sharon
The brightest morning star
No one else compares to him
No matter near or far
His fragrance is so sweet
He's like the morning dew
And he can be the sweetest rose
And bloom in your heart too
Oh come, taste and see
That that the Lord is good
He'll lighten all your heavy load
Just like he said he would
Let the rose of Sharon
Come live in you today
And let his Holy Spirit
Fill you every day

Faithful
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
Our faithful loving God
Keeps an eye on you
Always watching over e
Everything you do
He knows it all, see's it all
And even hears your faintest cry
And he's present in the midnight hour
As you watch the time go bye
They say it's always darkest
Just before the dawn
And even in those dreadful hours
God can give a song
He is loving he is faithful
He will ever keep his word
He's closer than a brother
And much sharper than a sword
His patience never weaken
He never slumbers, never sleeps
And when you go to sleep at night
He your soul will keep
So if your reading this
My friend you should be grateful
That you right now can give him time
To prove to you He's Faithful
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
Often I've sat down
And put my hands there in place
And flowing form the tips of my fingers
Came the sweet sound of Amazing Grace
Then all of a sudden it changed over
And Sweet Hour Of Prayer filled the room
And then I mixed in a portion
Of the  precious hymn Coming Home.
In The Presence Of Jehovah's my favorite
When I play it I'm so mindful of
The passing of my precious father
Who's with Jesus in Heaven above
How Great Thou Art is a treasure
So many have sung through the years
And Love Lifted Me goes without saying
This one will leave you in tears..
So many hymns without number
That's encouraged and made me so strong
And now looking back I'm so thankful
That God let me play his song.....

The Music Of Life
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
The music of life sings within
If you listen close you may hear
Sounds that you've never  encountered
Sounds from afar and near
Music is just what you make it
its often the sound nature makes
Sometimes if you need encouraged
it will show you the road you should take
We all must listen to the music
For its a language we all understand
It spreads all over the world
To unite us and strengthen our land

The Door
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
The journey has been long
And the trials seem to outdo the good
But I know that in this life
We weren't promised an easy road
and the unexpected struggles aren't ever understood
But when we are at our lowest point
That's when God will make his move
To prove that he loves us much more than we can know
He sees us through the good times,
And he sees us through our bad
Never will he leave us all alone....
So never give up trying...
Look further down the road
And you might just see him in the distance
Waiting to help you with your load
His love is never ending
His patience shall endure
And when all else fails around you
He is steadfast, He is sure
So do not turn from him,
But run to his open arms
His intentions are to love you always
And shelter you from harm
There's a place reserved for you
In his dwelling place
And I so long for you to be there
When you leave this earthly race
Yes Heaven is awaiting somewhere out there that's for sure
And giving all your heart to Jesus...
Will get you in the door.

Too Late To Pray
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
Sometimes it's not easy to take the time to pray
We run off with our scheduling, out into the day
We can't take the time, we're running late
The bills are overdue
So prayer gets set aside, with more important things to do
So its off to work or off to school, perhaps a manicure
And grocery shopping's on the list, that's a must for sure
But on the way to Walmart an un-expected flash
And somewhere out of no-where, you end up in a crash...
Life is fading from you, like sand from an hour glass
And now your seeing visions, of your busy past
At first you see the bright lights and someone calls your name
your not sure at this point...hoping that your sane
Then all appears as dark...and you feel a sense of loss
And somewhere now in all of this your mind takes you to a cross
Where on a hill way back in time, the Savior died for you
And then a still small voice is heard...seek me and I'll bring you through
All at once your eyes are opened....you see the light of day
And at that moment, their are tears...It's not Too Late To Pray

Life's Too Short
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
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
Jan 2016 · 453
Right On Time
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
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

The Beauty Of God's Face
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
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
Jan 2016 · 173
REMEMBER ME
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
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
Jan 2016 · 306
Speak His Name
Sammy L Lykens Jan 2016
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

Be Blessed Every Day
Sammy L Lykens Dec 2015
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...

I'll Be There In A While
Sammy L Lykens Dec 2015
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....

It's Not The End
Sammy L Lykens Dec 2015
Sickness often comes to us
And there are times we're in dispare
But there's a day that's coming
When when we won't have a care
The sting of death will all be gone
A new song we shall sing
When we cross over Jordan
Our new life will begin
Oh to look upon his face
And see his nail scared hands
I can't wait to see it all
When I reach that promised land
So make your reservations
Get prepaired to go
It's a one way flight to Gloryland
It's in your future...Just so you know
We all must make the journey
For this life one day will end
And your soul will be required of you
Its just the beginning ...Its not the end
Dec 2015 · 306
Some Day
Sammy L Lykens Dec 2015
Some day we'll see the other side
Where crystal waters flow
And the sting of death will be no more
Such peace and joy we'll know
I can't imagine their is a place
Where streets are made of gold
Up there we'll have a brand new life
And we will not grow old
To such a place, I long to be
Where a new song I shall sing
And stand before the Lord of Lords
There they've crowned him king of kings
Many souls have now crossed over
To that land beyond the sky
And one day too, I'll make that journey
Where I too shall dwell
With him on high

He Meets The Need
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
When I face a mountain
that looks impossible to climb
Or a burden
that brings me to my knees
or when it seems so unlikely
that a miracle I'll ever see
I call his name
and he meets the needl
he meets the need
and he never fails
he meets the need
He will prevail
every time I need an answer
or a miracle breakthrough
he meets the need
and he'll do the same for you
Now in times of desperation
I go searching just to find
An answer to a problem in my life
but deep inside I know the answer
is just one prayer away
when I call his name
he makes my wrongs alright

This Is My Day
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
In these troubled times we live in
it's not easy just getting through
Often We find ourselves in turmoil
wondering just what we're going to do
but through the labor and all of the trials
if we'll just told to his faithful hand
You can believe he's going to be there
Bringing the victory as only he can
this is my day
this is my hour
and I'm gonna receive
unspeakable power
I'm gonna receive just what is mine
It's coming on in
and it's right on time
so hear me when I say
this is my day
when God says Gabriel
get your trumpet
it's almost time to play
I'm getting ready to call my children
and bring them home to stay
You talk about a grand homecoming
I'll be there forever to stay
praising God and shouting
hallelujah this is my day

Heaven Land of Peace
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
I often wonder
what heaven will be like
they say the matchless Beauty there
is far beyond our human sight
But if Heaven held no beauty
For these eyes To behold
just see the face of Jesus
means more to me
than Heavens gold
I know I've got a mansion
In heaven someday
and I know
I'll never cry again
for he'll wipe
all tears away
when I stand in heaven
before the Savior
I will know a sweet release
And things will never be
the same again
for this is heaven
land of peace
Now there are days
the tears just feel my eyes
for my heart's
So touched with grief
But in heaven
There'll be no heartache
no sadness all pain will cease
And I can't wait
to join that number
where we'll see him
On his throne
and when he steps out on
the clouds for me
I'll be ready to go home

For Real
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
I never thought
that I would see this day
to have you and to hold you
just seemed so far away
you and I have come so far
And at this moment
here we are
this is not a dream
this is for real

This is for real
and you are here with me
this is for real
and I hope somehow you see
The love I have for you
Will last forever and its true
you need to know exactly how I feel
that what we have together
is for real

I promise you
I'll stay right by your side
and I'll be with you
until the day I die
through the thick
and through the thin
together we will win
I loved to you in the past
I love you still
there's just no doubt about it
this is for real

* Written and dedicated to the love of my life

We'll See You Again
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
It's hard to think
this has happened
and I can't believe he is gone
But I know one thing for certain
my dad has made it home
he's gone where he will never see
another teardrop fall
But I know that
I'll see dad again
and it won't be very long
Oh and dad
I'll soon be there
standing by your side
you're there in gloryland
where are you now reside
in heavens beautiful city
that's been prepared by the lamb
dad you won't have to wait too long
for your family will join you at home
and we'll see you again
although I know
that he's in heaven
still I miss him
Right here at home
for you see
I loved him so
and my heart is yearning
to be where he has gone
but where he is
he will never say goodbye
that's why I know
I'll see dad again
whensies this splits
those Eastern Skies
This poem/song was written in memory of my late father who went on to be with the Lord April 3rd 1995 if you have a loved one in heaven may the words of this poem/song encourage your heart

For The Life Of Me
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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

Life
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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.

MY LONGING HEART
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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'll Trust Him
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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

For Now
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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

He's Always There
Sammy L Lykens Nov 2015
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 —
