Though bent and twisted physically, his words of power strengthened me.
Though he did not please the eye, he offered liberty.
Tall and stately, impressive height, his speech was pretty, soft and light,
Though by sight he pleased the eye, he left my spirit bound.
Though by men we show success, by God’s standard, maybe less.
We’re not be judged by friend or foe, but by the word made flesh.
If at last you think I’ve failed, in your eyes my work paled,
Then when I face my Lord The King, will you stand in for me?
Of course you can’t, you know you can’t, though often heard to rail and rant.
You cannot measure me by you, I’ll face my God alone.
By His grace I am set free, He has judged the worth of me.
In His light I am made whole, this is my song of praise.
Day by day I’ll do my part, to live for Him with all my heart.
In this truth of joy and peace, You’ll know my God reigns.

You say it isn’t real, it’s the land of my dreams
Where a field of flowers grow near sparkling clear streams.
Sweet perfume fills the air, and the sky is so blue.
Everything is perfect there, for me and for you .
Warming sun lights the day, there’s beauty in the night.
Stars being stars, and the moon a lovely sight.
Hope brings hope where love reigns supreme .
You say it can’t be real, it’s the world of my dreams.
YET…..
When God’s spirit is alive in the heart of man,
You can enjoy living in such a perfect land,
Where peace, joy and righteousness are the songs I sing,
In the place where God dwells as my Lord and King.
