True Happiness & Judgment Day & The Voice

True Happiness 1994 (age 22)
I have discovered happiness is surreal;
There is no real joy in this world,
Pain lurks around every corner,
Ready to drag another victim down

If only I look past worldly boundaries,
I can see a brighter Light,
A Light that dims the sun,
And where there is never any darkness

I reach for that Light,
Though I am uncertain what it brings,
For I know it is Jesus Christ,
And His peace is all I need to know

If only I will let Him lead me,
And use only desires He gives to me,
Then His happiness will bring comfort,
And this world’s pleasures won’t mean a thing

Judgment Day 1994 (age 22)
When all is said and done,
And I stand before my Lord,
He will not ask me of my wealth,
Nor will He ask about my successes,
He does not care whether I wore the proper fashion,
For this world will fade away;
What my God really wants to know
Is if I truly loved Him with all my heart;
Did I desire His perfect will for my life
And seek His guidance with fervent prayer?
Am I practicing all I read in His holy word,
Or am I a hearer only?
Am I a quiet witness,
Do I shout His name in the streets,
Or do I pretend He means nothing to me?
When I meet my Jesus face to face,
And bow in fear and reverence,
I want Him to know that He is everything to me,
And that I tried to be everything for Him

The Voice 1994 (age 22)
So many frustrations in my life,
So many hardships to bear,
Yet a peace encloses my heart,
And a Voice gently tells me not to fear

My senses come alive as the Voice speaks;
I have heard that sound before;
The soothing Voice calms my anxieties;
It is my dearest friend, my Lord!
