What Is This Life

What is this life about?
Is it learning all that I can?
Is it making a lot of friends?
Or making my own special plans?

What is this life about?
Is it partying into the night?
Is it trying to always be right?
Or winning each quarrel or fight?

I think life is about much more than this
It is more than just playing a game
This life is a journey, it's running a race
That awaits us when we reach the end

You see life doesn't stop when we take our last breath
It has actually only begun
This life will determine where the next one starts out
So you need to be choosing to win.

What exactly was Jesus life all about?
It was saving the lost gone astray
It brought healing to sick and sight to the blind
And it taught all of us the right way

What exactly was Jesus life all about?
It was laying His life down for us.
It was teaching us pride has no place in the wise
And showing us mercy and grace

His example is clear and His message us true
So shouldn't we follow His lead?
He showed us what this life should be all about
About filling our neighbors needs.

So put off your thoughts of me first and mine
Let's do what He put us here for
Treating our neighbor as deserving of love
That is what this life is for.


If I Should Lose My Wife Today

If I should lose my wife today

My life would be in disarray
I don’t know what I’d do instead
If God should take her home

She’s more than just a wife to me
More than friend or family
She’s heaven sent from God to me
Beside her I belong

Her smile is what I’d long to see
Her loss would leave a vacancy
My heart would suffer desperately
Without her by my side

Her laugh, her look, her favorite show
Would daily in my memory grow
Until the tears began to flow
Because she’s not here to share

I‘d miss the way she played those keys
I’d miss the way she’d scowl at me
I’d miss her most amid the pleas
Of grandkids wondering why

She has more friends than I can count
Her laugh fills up a room, no doubt
Her life was always all about
How she could lend a hand

If God should take my wife today
I’d bow my head and say a prayer
Help me be strong and peaceful stay
‘Til you should call me home.

The Father Has Promised

The Father has promised us rest
In the midst of the trial and test
He will always give us His best
Because He has promised us rest

The Father has promised us peace
He will always set us at ease
All our worries will surely release
Because He has promised us peace

The Father has promised us joy
All our sorrows He will destroy
No enemies weapons annoy
Because He has promised us joy

The Father has promised us hope
Through every trial we will cope
Heaven is ours this we know
Because He has promised us hope

The Father has promised us love
That flows down from His glory above
Throughout life He is enough
Because He has promised us love

Just Amazing

Amazing is His grace
That flows from Calvary
To every heart it comes
To set the captive free

Amazing is His love
No mortal man can know
How much He gave away
Because He loved us so

Amazing is His peace
That calms our every storm
He left this peace for me
He holds me in His arms

Amazing is His joy
My sorrow He dispels
I’m full to overflow
With joy unspeakable

Amazing is the Hope
That comes to me each day
I know my final home
For He has made a way

Amazing just amazing
The things He’s done for me
I’ll give me life to Him
For all eternity

I’ll Always Come Back

When it seems all is lost
And I feel all alone
That’s when I come crawling to you
When my sorrow grows dark
And my peace disappears
That’s when I come crawling to you

I can feel you draw near me
I can sense your sweet grace
That’s when I come walking to you
In the still of the night
Is the sound of your voice
That’s when I come walking to you

In your presence is mercy
Your face is all love
That’s when I come running to you
The closer I draw
The more wonders I feel
That’s when I come running to you

Then your joy overtakes me
Your peace rests my soul
That’s when I come leaping to you
My voice singing praises
To your wondrous name
That’s when I come leaping to you

I come crawling
I come walking
I come running
I come leaping
Whatever the trial
Whatever the test
I’ll always come back to you
