We don't get more real than with death. The feeling of this stays until the last breath. If you're not prepared to succumb and die, We need to focus on the how and the why.
If you're not ready for the day that you die, Then you're really not all that ready to live. Let's turn our focus on that" how and why" Let's not choke on the reply of what life has to give.
There is a huge gulf between us and Him. There will be no greater than the them Who have come before and where we will go What will separate the flame from the shadow?
Life is a story of contrasts in what we see, And all that comes and goes requires humility. Contrasts in life and death - down to the last breath. We find differences in life, even in how we face death.
No words or fixing can change our destiny. From this, we learn the value of how we journey. Doing right to others and worshipping the Lord, It seems this then is the dividing sword.
To be at the bosom of Abraham is to have all, Regardless of fame, shame, or whatever we might recall. Heaven is where God waits for us makes it all right. We know this as a walk from darkness into the light.
The glories of Heaven and the acquisition of Hell - How we live and believe is what compels. The outcome is down to what we do To live by what is good and to live for what's true.
Whether we earn Heaven or Hell is a matter of equity. It is our decisions that sets us at our liberty That defines what our final outcome will be. We are our own deliverers of our final destiny.
A fact is a fact, and Hell has no relief For the causes of separation that bring grief. Hell is a place of tormenting misery. Hell-fires have burned throughout all history.
Memories are not forgotten and are known for their sting. If you end up in Hell, you'll have what you bring And you will remember your every opportunity That you had to avoid suffering this self-inflicted injury.
In the moment of death comes the chasm of separation. You must in this life address your final representation. The cross of Calvary spread sanctuary from our misery. This is steadfast in our theology.
It takes a lot of work to go to Hell. If you have, maybe it's just as well, And once you've managed to get yourself there, Your chance at redemption is over, I fear.
It's been this way since Lucifer was falling, That a person in need of saving finds Jesus calling. We hold this hope based on the Bible's authority - That our choices form our path to our destiny.

The season is almost upon us for giving Yearly, as it is, in an average living. It has always been better to give than receive. This much, to be certain, I truly believe.
The things of love, as best I conceive Are what should be given with no intent to deceive. Instead, we are to give from the heart, And only so much that we can afford to depart.
The purpose of our life is to find our gifts And to use these in the healing of all rifts. That which brings together is that which is best. Life is a happy collaboration more than a contest.
What the Lord gives to us is best given away To the extent it exceeds the blessings of our days. To live life with love and to be of purpose Is the best life lived and is lived in God's service.
Our lives given are a privilege and our opportunity. We are to respond to this within our responsibility. Giving as we love, knowing to do less is not giving. And always living through God's grace while forgiving
The wrongs and slights done by others with intention. The best gift that we can give is that of loving attention. It is in its appropriateness, and knowing the gift is true That we know what we have given has its true value.
Living each moment of life in joy is shown by gratitude. We live life best in striving to affect this attitude. To bring about the greatest amount of true satisfaction, Love and thankfulness must be expressed in our actions.

“Every step we take towards making the State our Caretaker of our lives, by that much we move toward making the State our Master.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower
“Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents.” – Ludwig van Beethoven
Many say that love is a journey. It's felt that way in my memory. When we met, I knew my destiny Was the love between you and me.
Whispers build their own monument, But I know that you are heaven-sent. From the very first, you said hello I've waited for all that would follow.
You are my beautiful everything, The true cause behind why I sing. I know that you're my waking dream, To me, the most beautiful human being.
Your sweet eyes shed truth to clarify, And this feeling between you and I That tells me that your heart is all I need, Deeper than any book that I'll ever read.
There is so much to love in your laugh to hear. The way you smile makes me want you near I can hear it in every word you give to me. As we play with words so tender and lovingly.
You are my beautiful everything, The true cause behind why I sing. I know that you're my waking dream, To me, the most beautiful human being.
Only children usually know this feeling. It's sent my head spiraling and reeling. In the way that we so naturally flow. It doesn't take a wise man to realize and know.
I could never find anyone who so completes me, Than the you I have found in our possibility. You teach me moment by moment about my emotions, As I find in your heart the cause of my devotion.
You are my beautiful everything, The true cause behind why I sing. I know that you're my waking dream, To me, the most beautiful human being.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman
(Precisely what was attempted by the DNC, Bari Obama, HRC, and the Biden Administration. We must be eternally vigilant to stop these attempts to take our republic from us, We the People. Hiding these repressive measures under lawfare does not make it any less repressive.)
I know that the past is always present. It's nothing to me that I will resent. The scars are a reminder of where I fell down, and God was always there.
I was struggling, unable to catch my breath. The hurt ran deep enough to meet my death. But His hand was there to help me to my feet, In His salvation, I found victory over defeat.
There are times I am weak and timid. Lost within myself and feeling my limits. But at this moment, Lord, I am strong, And so I offer up my praises in this song.
In a hallelujah moment, I finally understood That God above us is the only one who is good. Forever, I will sing this truth I understand. That I am still standing is from His healing hand.
Of His kingdom and His glory, I witness majesty. The truth is before us, and there is no mystery. Lord Jesus gave Himself, crucified on that cross. That we can be redeemed and not know our loss.
There are times I am weak and timid. Lost within myself and feeling my limits. But at this moment, Lord, I am strong, And so I offer up my praises in this song.
I have witnessed His love in all I've seen and done. The trinity's three lock box: Father, Spirit and Son. Each of these has come to save this sinner's soul. To each of these, I give all that I cannot control.
Greater is His faithfulness than any we employ, It is from His sacrifice that we know great joy. And I know his mercy flows like a river is wide. He brings me to humility and protects me from my pride.
There are times I am weak and timid. Lost within myself and feeling my limits. But at this moment, Lord, I am strong, And so I offer up my praises in this song.
