where I belong

Open am I to your guidance from above
you've given me hope and taught me to love
I took for granted the little things
to feel the wind to hear a robin sing
As I look back on all I've done
I never knew you were watching waiting for me to come
I only wish I had know but the right path now I have been shown
now I know right from wrong now I know where I belong

Dear God in Heaven - A Family's Prayer

Dear God in Heaven above
Today is the day that You took someone we love
We know that we need not worry
Because Your there with him with open arms

Dear God in Heaven above
The man that stands before You was deeply loved
Although it seems like it is the end
Now the memories of him shall begin

Dear God in Heaven above
We are here today with sorrow and grief
But when we look up toward Heaven there will be a sence of relief
Because the man before You is in a better place

Today is not a day of death, but rebirth
Because he lived a long and healthy life here on earth
So on this day we will look back no more
Because on this day we know he's with You, Jesus Christ our Lord

The man that has left us he will truly be missed
For all that knew him we know that we were blessed

Dear God in Heaven above
The man that I refer to was a husband, father, brother, grandfather and dear friend
For when our time comes we know that we will see him again

Dear God in Heaven above
We pray that You will guide us to see this through
Hold us and keep us safe in all that we do

God's Plan

I was once told that as time goes by
Everything changes with no reason why
Explanations we won't receive
We're just told we must believe
The Lord has a plan for each of us
This I Believe - This I Trust
Doctor - Lawyer - Teacher - Wife
Lord what's your plan for my life?
Explanations I don't expect
Just some guidance down the right track
Show me Lord your plan for me
I ask this of you while on my knees
Praying to you helps me to see
The wonderful plan you have for me
The Lord has a plan for each of us
This I Believe - This I Trust

THE BOOK

I've been sitting here thinking
Of my life up to now
The many roads I've traveled
As I was searching how
I could make it into heaven
And really what it took
And it came to me quite suddenly
The way is in THE BOOK.

Yes, I've stumbled quite a lot
As I've wandered through this life
There were times I didn't care
If what I did was wrong' or right.
Somehow God was patient
Each time His plan I forsook
And I didn't pay attention
To what was written in THE BOOK.

Now I thank God for His mercy,
For watching over me each day
For sending His son, Jesus
To show us all the way.
I thank Him most of all, though
For causing me to look
For I always knew the answer
Would be written in THE BOOK.
