WHY DO I FORGET YOU?
-God I think about you from time to time
-Whenever the thought of praying for food crosses my mind
-I don't know why I forget to do my devotions
-Maybe because the only time I talk to you is when I'm full of emotions
-I really want to obey your commands
-But sometimes it seems like you have so many demands
-Whenever I need help You're always there
-You give me comfort at times when I am scared
-But still I choose to forget you
-When my life is going good
-I don't know why I don't remember you
-When I have no doubt that I should
-You gave all your time for me
-And I can't even spare one hour
-To understand the plans you have for me
-Or to catch a glimpse of your awesome power
-I can't comprehend why you forgive me
-When all I do is let you down
-I don't understand why you love me
-And still intend to give me a crown
-Your ways, O Lord, are higher than mine
-I won't even begin to explain
-The marvelous things that I will find
-When I just praise your name
-Your know every thought that crosses my mind
-And every situation
-I hope that you, O Lord, will find
-Me worthy to be your creation
-God you know my heart
-And how much you mean to me
-And now I hope that you will help me start
-To give back my life to you which you have so graciously given to me.

WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE?
-Why do we try to push the limit
-Why do we try and get away with as much as we can
-All we should do is listen to the infinite
-For he is the true standard of a man
-The greatest problem of the world today
-Is that we don't know where to draw the line
-"It's just a little drink" we say
-But you shouldn't even try the wine
-We should run from the things that make us stumble
-Rather that rely on them
-Sooner or later your Christian walk will crumble
-All because you chose to give in to them

DIFFERNT FROM THE WORLD
-The best things in life are free
-A wise person once said
-I didn't see the relevance to me
-Until I opened the Bible and read
-You paid the price for my sin
-When your body was beaten and broken
-The battles in life, I know I'll win
-Whenever your name is spoken
-Few people realize what you gave up
-Sending your one and only son
-In communion, they eat bread and drink from the cup
-But fail to realize what was done
-I want to tell people of your salvation
-They look for ways to find a flaw
-They try to explain the worlds creation
-When we should really just stand in awe
-Nothing satisfies like your grace
-Your mercy, I cannot comprehend
-All I want to do is seek your face
-Show me your ways, that I may apprehend
-Many people put on an act
-Some may call them hypocrites
-I want people to know for a fact
-That I am just the opposite
by Matt Strader
THIS IS NOT MY HOME
-Lord I know that you love me
-I won't be afraid
-I know you are watching from up above me
-In you is where my foundation is laid
-I want to live for you all my life
-And only one thing I ask
-Give me your joy when I go through strife
-With this, I can accomplish any task
-My home is not on this earth
-My citizenship is in a place called heaven
-This is only because of my spiritual birth
-That I am a now a Christian brethren
-In this world I want to be set apart
-Because sin is pleasurable only for a season
-I have this assurance in my heart
-That I have found the true reason
