Chapter 3... Reach for Your Goals, Goal Oriented

"His own, He will say"

It a man has not

the love of God

and proclaims to know

love as his own,

I'll share a man

for you to see, and

he will receive all

of what he has sown,

you'll hear me a lot,

along with I too,

so lend an ear to

hear your friend,

as well as others,

people need people

who will be there

down to the end,

one man stood here

once, upon this Earth,

and when He returns...

all men will proclaim...

Lord God, my friend,

I hope they say,

they'll see He lives

and on Earth He'll reign.

"I knew you not"

from east, west, north and south t

he people came to hear His word,

and wherever He would go He'd talk

so that people could say they heard,

when He spoke, He spoke only the truth,

the kind that penetrates to the soul,

for... you see that saving lives

was indeed His only goal,

and though He spoke to all the people...

the people chose to see Him not,

the man was our heaven sent Savior

and in time the message they forgot,

so strive to remember the words of the Lord,

those words of faith were tilled with love,

for truly the father sent forth His Son,

the Lord Jesus did come form up above,

so carry each day the truth in your heart,

in temptation's net be not caught,

or else when on the Earth's last day

the Lord will say, "I knew you not."

"The way is lit by truth"

Thank you, Jesus, for

sharing with me

the way I should go and

the way I should be.

"The way is lit by truth" cont.

Thank you, Jesus, for

sharing with me

the light for my path

enabling me to see.

Thank you, Jesus, for

sharing with me

the truth of the spirit,

eternal and mighty.

Thank you, Jesus, now

I'll share with them all

that you are my Lord God...

I'll answer your call.

"For all to see"

0' little light,

wherever you may be,

though the wind makes you waver

shine your light for all to see.

0' little light,

wherever you may go,

shine your light brighter than bright

so the unknowing will truly know.

"for all to see" cont.

0' little light,

whatever you may see,

though darkness attempts to surround you

keep your hop in the Lord of light.

0' little light,

whatever you may do,

though times may make you flicker

know the Lord is always there for you.

0' little light,

whenever you may dim,

won't you look up to truly see

the light of heaven is your coming home.

"Love raised"

when you call me,

Lord, may I be standing with you

when you do,

for when you've called me, Lord,

I know I'll be standing t

here with you,

and then there'll be no call, Lord,

to shed tears, except for praise...

of love raised.

"Give your hearts over"

The next war on this Earth

shall be for power,

and who knows the day or

even the hour,

so let not these things

bog you down today,

for the power exists in

the Lord's hand, I say,

so when troubles befall us...

there is yet hope,

His peace and comfort will

help us to cope,

and we should strive to

live up to His call,

He will call home His

children, yes... one and all,

before these problems can

tell us they'll win,

give your hearts over...

give them over to Him.

"Protected by grace"

All the King's children are

hidden by mercy,

yes... they've found protection

by grace,

for when the day of the wrath

of the Lord comes,

"Protected by grace" cont.

they'll not have to run

form His face.

All those who have trusted

In Him

will surely through faith

at last stand,

for the Lord knows who His

own are

and His promise is He will

lend a hand.

Every knee shall be bowed

to the King,

everyone will behold the

Lord's call,

either willingly or un- willingly,

the Lord's will shall affect

us all.

"Did you know"

when you hear the name

of Jesus Christ,

you must come to know

It's no story,

"Did you know" cont.

for the ones who know

Him in their hearts,

when He returns will

see His glory.

when you're standing in Him

He will be near,

nothing will tower over you

in His way,

and as the truth touches

you in life

you'll see a path clear

and not stray.

when you believe in Him

raise your hand;

but don't you do it

just for show,

for He must know you

as a friend,

when He comes again...

did you know?

"wake true, wake straight"

Diving swimmers can

sometimes cleave

the water true,

leaving little splash

behind them.

"wake true, wake straight" cont.

when a man awakens

to realize the rippling

wake he leaves in

the waters of his life.

To every affect there

exists a cause, often

not the one that's

seen to be form

God's hands.

will the wake, less of

truth be to wide,

in most cases a narrow

gate will not accommodate

width.

"Have you ever thought"

Have you ever thought

on the beauty, the calm

and serenity humankind

will have... to be able

to enjoy. The freedom

and beauty of a garden

abundant. A garden

never ending with peace

and calm that wells within...

"Have you ever thought" cont.

unlimited by nagging man,

unaffected and unworried by

things that man creates.

The ease and serenity

of flowers and trees

of grandeur, the glory

of things made by the

 hands of God. Eden too

was adorned in its flawlessness,

save for the tree that

brought humankind down. No such

tree will exist in the garden

of plenty this time around. Oh...

for the harmonious

moment when Heaven and

Earth become one. Have

you ever thought dreams

would come true, a chance

to stroll in Paradise. God

hopes we all become a

part of Him now,

that way we can become a beneficiary

of the blessed Kingdom to come.

"They've always been children"

Higher than the highest man

sitting on his throne...

"They've always been children" cont.

is the Lord who sees us all,

we're so very small...

after all,

and His call will be heard, f

or He's the word

that tills the world

and the true hope for tomorrow.

What will you say

of your life and way,

and will you still stand

to hand truth to late;

which bars the lock

on Heaven's gate...

think, now my friend

before rolling your dice,

you were bought with a price.

Does your wrong thinking

start you sinking,

you can't face life

unless you stop the blinking...

open your blind eyes

to the truth,

Jesus rose to provide proof

that He loves us all the same.

"To reach home"

I need them in a better

place,

although I understand

your sorrow,

but hold on strong to

your own faith...

and we will see you

just tomorrow,

the space of today, as

the Lord says,

is His to reward or to

continue...

was the Lord's fruit

grown and guided,

no matter our street

or avenue,

to reach home at home

the Lord resided.

"Life... breathing"

A breath...,

the very beginnings of

memory tumbled back in place,

form back in the catacombs

of being...

A breath...

"Life... breathing" cont.

she had freckles, the girl I

used to sit across form in

Mrs. Chamberland's class...

A breath...

the new paint job was so

important, I remember, I

had to wax it before the game...

A breath...

to realize the hell of it all

was to be there with more

than words buzzing past your

ears, Sam takes the green...

A breath...

I turned my head to see an

older daughter staring back

at me, form where a younger

one had stood...

A breath...

I caught mine, as I felt it

slip form the grip my

lungs had easily achieved, before,

in the past...

"Life... breathing" cont.

A breath...

life came rushing at my mind,

the experiences experienced...

A breath...

as my family neared the bed, I

understood, I understood life,

as we know it to be... is truly

the gift given and found in...

A breath.

"Contains the following"

What will our

manifest so contain,

form the passage of

our life?

To journey

through life abundantly

proclaiming either

good, or...

all in the

life-long process of true

vision and foresight

to know.

"Contains the following" cont.

when belief

causes reaction in life,

we can learn to

pick well,

fulfill the

statement of our lifetime

with light becoming

others.

Everything

in life is recorded

down, to help recall

all done,

and at the

time of our calling home,

we will be held

to account.
